1. INTRODUCTION The UNICONT PDF-01 and PDF-01-6 / A / C Ex devices are 2-wire on-site indicators that can be inserted into a 4 – 20 mA current loop without the need for additional power supply. Since the displayed value is proportional to the input, the units are suitable for indication of temperature, pressure, level, etc. values, the information carried by the loop current.

AND STORAGE CONDITIONS UNICONT PDF units do not require maintenance on a regular basis. Repair under or after the guarantee period should only be carried out by NIVELCO. Unused devices must be stored within the ambient temperature range specified in the technical data, with a maximum of 98% relative humidity.
4. INSTALLATION AND ELECTRIC CONNECTION The devices are suitable for working in closed area or they can be used in open-air applications. When choosing the installation place please ensure proper space for the mounting, programming and checking the display. Mounting the units on the wall or to a support can be done with using 2 pcs of M4 nuts. To avoid overheating the instrument should be protected against direct sunshine.

4.2 S EX C AFETY REGULATIONS FOR THE ERTIFIED UNITS – WARNING! DO NOT OPEN WHILE ENERGIZED! – Devices should be grounded by connecting their grounding screws to the equipotential system. – Intrinsically safe units with Ex ia IIC, Ex ia IIB or Ex d+ia IIB markings can only be used in certified intrinsically safe loops with the previously given technical data.
5. PUTTING INTO OPERATION, PROGRAMMING Lighting of the VALID LED indicates that the UNICONT, installed and wired correctly, will operate according to the Manufacturer’s settings (see 5.1. Default). The device operates in MEASUREMENT mode. It is indicated by the format of the displayed value and that the PROG display is not lit.
5.1 D EFAULT Manufacturer’s settings are the following: The percental (%) value shown on the display is proportional to the input (4 mA 0%, 20 mA 100.0%). Damping: 3 s Noise suppression frequency: 50 Hz Bargraph indication is proportional to the input (0/4 mA 0%, 20 mA 100.0%). The output of the 3-wire models can be 4 –...
Adjustment of the UNICONT to the conditions of the actual application can be carried out by programming the parameters. If the unit has already been programmed it is going to work according to the last setting.

P19: Secret code FACTORY DEFAULT: 0000 Settings can be protected by a 4-digit number (secret code) (other than 0000) entered in this parameter. If the secret code is active the PROG symbol is lit and the value of the parameters can only be viewed. To be able to do any programming or to modify the secret code or to remove protection (modify the secret code to 0000) the secret code, already entered, needs to be known.
