1. Prerequesite 1.a - Working principle Using remote control / Modbus configuration, you can activate (or deactivate) a channel, change the measuring range, set the set points and time-delay... ® Principle: the configuration options are accessed via folders and sub-folders (similar to Windows ). Access is made via a numerical code (full details in this manual).
1. Prerequisite 1.b - Output signal selection The Class 300 can output either a voltage or a current signal. Voltage or Current ? Transmitter with 24 Vac/dc power supply Transmitter with 230 Vac power supply (Ref. HV). The on-off switch is located on the left of the terminal block for transmitters with a 24 Vac/dc power supply model and on the right of the relay 1 and 2 for transmitters with a 230 Vac power supply model (Ref.HV).

F100 4. Display and keypad configuration 4.a - Transmitter channel for infrared remote control You can change the channel number for receiving the signal from the infrared remote control. The advantage is that only one remote control is required to drive several transmitters, and that there is no interference if 2 transmitters are located side by side.
F200 5. Configuring channels and units of measurement Class 300 transmitters have 4 measuring channels. You can activate 1, 2, 3 or 4 channels and select each unit of measurement. Go into configuration mode (see page 5). The folder number displayed Step corresponds to the last configuration folder used.
F300 6. Analogue output management 6.a - Output diagnostics With this function, you can check with a multimeter (or a regulator/display, or a PLC/BMS) if the transmitter outputs are working properly. The transmitter generates a voltage of 0 V, 5 V and 10 V or a current of 4 mA, 12 mA and 20 mA.
Page 13
F300 6. Analogue output management 6.a.2 - Output diagnostics Once the connection of the transmitter to the multimeter (or regulator or PLC/BMS is complete, see page 6), you can carry out the analogue output diagnostics on several check points. Go into configuration mode (see page 5). The folder number displayed Step corresponds to the last configuration folder used.
F300 6. Analogue output management 6.b - Analogue output settings With this function, you can modify the measuring range of the transmitter, and you can equate the new limits to the analogue output (0-10 V or 4-20 mA). You can enter the measuring range required on your own ! You must enter the values according to the units of measurement selected, not according to the measuring range of the transmitter.

F400 7. Alarm / relay settings 7.a - Activation / Deactivation of BEEP alarm The beep alarm (audible alarm) is activated when a set point is reached. For more details on the setpoint settings, see page 20. Step Go into configuration mode (see page 5). The folder number displayed corresponds to the last configuration folder used.
F400 7. Alarm / relay settings 7.c - Alarm / relay functions and LED colour codes CPA 300 & THA 300 transmitters have 4 relays visible on the transmitter board with 24 Vac/dc power supply model (2 relays visible on the transmitter board with 230 Vac power supply model Ref.HV). Each relay has one LED to allow real-time checking.
F400 7. Alarm / relay settings 7.e - Alarm mode details 7.e.1 - Definitions Setpoint The setpoint is a limit which, on being reached and/or exceeded , activates an alarm or energizes a relay (in negative security, see page 14 for more details). Time-delay Once the setpoint is reached and/or exceeded, the time-delay postpones the alarm activation (or relay excitation) for a short period (in seconds).

F500 8. Pressure measurement configuration 8.a - Pressure measurement integration (CPA 300) The integration coefficient makes an average of the measurements : this helps to avoid any excessive variations and guarantees a stable measurement. New value displayed [((10 - Coef.) x N Value) + (Coef. x former value)] This value is applicable when the variation is less than +/- ( Coef.
F500 9. Humidity measurement configuration 9.a - Offset setting in humidity and temperature In order to compensate for any longterm drift of the transmitter, you can add an offset to the value displayed by the THA 300 with the EHK 500 reference portable instrument or via the keypad. Function only available on humidity transmitter types THA 300 The EHK 500 is a reference portable instrument (optional) which enables you to adjust at one point the humidity and temperature reading, via the RS 232 connection cable.
F600 10. Air velocity measurement configuration 10.a - Temperature compensation You can modify the temperature compensation value. The air velocity and airflow measured with a differential probe (such as Pitot tube, Debimo blade, orifice plate...) depends on the working temperature. Then, it is required to enter the working temperature to get more accurate results.
F600 10. Air velocity measurement configuration 10.b - Air velocity coefficient selection (CPA 300) Since the air velocity is calculated from the pressure (on a CPA 300) and from a differential probe, you must enter the coefficient value of the differential probe. For Pitot tubes and Debimo blades, the coefficient is already included in the transmitter.
