4. INSTALLATION AND ELECTRIC CONNECTION The devices are suitable for working in closed areas or they can be used in open-air applications, too. Installation location should be selected so that proper space is available for handling, programming and checking the display. Mounting the units on the wall or to a support can be done with using 2pcs of M4 nuts. 4.1 W IRING •...

4.2 S AFETY REGULATIONS FOR THE ERTIFIED UNITS Intrinsically safe units with EEx ia IIC, EEx ia IIB or EEx d ia IIB markings can only be used in duly certified intrinsically safe loops with the previously given technical data. Devices should be grounded by connecting their grounding screws to the equipotential system.
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 Programming Programming keys keys Bargraph indication is proportional to the input ( 0/4 mA→ 0%, 20 mA →100.0%).

5.3.1. S TEPS OF PROGRAMMING ‘Double key pressing’ (pressing two keys simultaneously) has to be used to get into and out of PROGRAMMING mode. It is also used in programming mode. This is represented in the manual with the symbols of the two keys and the ‘+’ sign in between them. That is: (getting into PROGRAMMING mode).

5.3.2. P – ARAMETERS DESCRIPTION AND PROGRAMMING Attention! Before programming it is suggested to read the description of parameter P10 carefully! - - - a Setting input current (Ia) that is to be assigned to displayed value (Da) See Figure 9, 10 and 11 FACTORY DEFAULT: 4 mA - - - a Setting input current (Ib) to be assigned to displayed value (Db)

- - - a Current generator test (for 3-wire models only) In this parameter the actual current output is displayed. Going to the parameter value the output current of 3.6…22 mA can be set by the keys urrent value entered this way should conform with the output current measured with an ammeter. .

P11: dcba Setting range,* damping, noise suppression, error indication on the output current * FACTORY DEFAULT: 0000 Range can be selected with the 3-wire models for 4…20 mA or 0…20 mA . Setting is important in respect to the output current error indication.

P12: dcba Displayed process values and their units FACTORY DEFAULT: 0100 The columns of the chart below can be programmed separately and it is supposed to be done reasonably (i.e. to have symbol LEV lit: 2 should be set under b, to have relevant unit lit (m/ft or cm/in) 2 or 3 should be set under a and setting 1 under d should be chosen if the required unit is meter or centimetre.

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.
The unit does not require regular maintenance. In case of need the unit might be carefully cleaned. All repairs will be carried out only on the premises of the Manufacturer. 7.
