WIRING DETAIL Inputs/Output see Dwg # 04-143-2 All electrical wiring must be in accordance with all local state and national codes that apply. Do not exceed the rated current of the D.C. power supply (100MA) or the form ’C’ relay outputs (5A/240VAC resistive). CAUTION Hazardous voltages are present within the enclosure.

Note on non linear inputs The Myriad QLC offers a 20 point linearizer which allows the user to customize the indicated display for 20 points of input signal. This feature is often used to read volume in a non-linear vessel such as a horizontal tank with domed end caps.

APPENDIX ‘A’ SWITCH SELECTION OF ANALOG INPUT RANGES (Factory default 4/20MA). The range dip switches are located on the bottom of the main circuit board. Disconnect power, remove two rear screws, remove terminal strips and slide the entire unit out of its case. Turn the unit upside down to locate the range dip switches.
