  • Page 3: Introduction

    Introduction General description This manual contains information for the installation and operation of the the PM5-TR Monitor. The instrument may be set to operate as a ratemeter or totaliser or allow toggling between rate and total displays. A “grand total” display is also viewable and can be separately reset. The OPEr function allows selection of one of these three modes.
  • Page 4 2. USER - with this method the user enters two frequencies via the pushbuttons and applies a scale value to each frequency. The CAL IN 1 and CAL SCL.1 functions are used to set the first frequency and the CAL IN 2 and CAL SCL.2 functions are used to set the second frequency. The display takes these two points as points in a straight line for calculating and displaying inputs above, between and below these two points.
  • Page 5 Remote input mode - this uses the Easy method of access but also requires the use of a remote input switch. PIN 1 mode - this method allows a PIN to be set with access via PIN entry. PIN 2 mode - this method also requires a PIN and would generally be use to allow a higher access level than the first PIN.

    Mechanical Installation Choose a mounting position as far away as possible from sources of electrical noise such as motors, generators, fluorescent lights, high voltage cables/bus bars etc. An IP67 access cover which may be installed on the panel and surrounds is available as an option to be used when mounting the instrument in damp/dusty positions.

  • Page 10: Electrical Installation

    Electrical installation Electrical installation The PM5 Panel Meter is designed for continuous operation and no power switch is fitted to the unit. It is recommended that an external switch and fuse be provided to allow the unit to be removed for servicing. The plug in, screw type, terminal blocks allow for wires of up to 2.5mm to be fitted for power, relays and options and 1mm for sensor and other wiring.
  • Page 11 Input connections The display will accept many common input sensor types on inputs 1 and 2. Input 1 is used as the rate/total input pulse terminal. Input 2 (terminal 8) can be used to change the totaliser count direction i.e. change from count up (input 2 inactive) or to count down (input 2 active). The totaliser direction function dir must be set to UP.dn when this count up/down control is required.
