KEYBOARD AND MENU DESCRIPTION Foreword The instrument keyboard is composed of single-function keys, like the MENU key, and double- function keys such as the ON-OFF/Auto-OFF key. In the double-keys, the function in the upper part is the “main function”, while the one in the bottom part is the “secondary function”.

This setting changes the information displayed and the immediate print of data (SERIAL key). The data recorded using the LOG function (HD2178.2) and sent to the printer or PC through the serial port using the SERIAL function (HD2178.1 and HD2178.2), keep the chosen unit of measurement and display it.

ENTER key In the menu, the ENTER key confirms the displayed parameter and then goes to the next one. REL/ In measurement mode, it displays the difference between the current value and that measured on pressing the key. The REL message appears on the display; press the key again to return to the cur- rent measurement.

THE PROBES Input A accepts K, J, T, N or E thermocouple temperature probes. The thermocouple type is set up by menu. The connector contacts of thermocouple probe are polarized, they have to be put into the miniature connector placed in the instrument on the right way. Usually the probes are marked with the symbol + and -: these symbols have to correspond to the relevant symbols placed on the rubber protection of the instrument.
Instructions to connect the TP47 connector for 4-wire Pt100, Pt1000 and Ni1000 probes All Delta Ohm probes are provided with a connector. The HD2178.1 and HD2178.2 instruments also work with 4-wire direct Pt100, 2-wire Pt1000 and Ni1000 probes manufactured by other pro- ducers: for the instrument connection is prescribed the TP47 connector to which the probe's wires should be welded.

The instructions to connect the Platinum or Nickel probe to the module are provided below. The module is supplied complete with fairlead and gasket for 5mm maximum diameter cables. Do the following to open the module and connect a probe: Unscrew the fairlead and extract the gasket, remove the label using a cutter, unscrew the ring on the opposite side as illustrated in the figure: Open the two module shells: the printed circuit to which the probe must be connected is housed in-...
Sensor TP47 card connection Jumper to close Ni1000 Ni1000 2 wires Ensure the welds are clean and perfect. Once the welding operation is complete, close the two shells, insert the gasket in the module, and screw the fairlead and the ring. At the other end of the module, enter the ring with the O-Ring.
WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Do not expose the probes to gases or liquids that could corrode the material of the sensor or the probe itself. Clean the probe carefully after each measurement. 2. Do not bend the probe connectors or force them upward or downward. 3.
INSTRUMENT SIGNALS AND FAULTS The following table lists all error indications and information displayed by the instrument and sup- plied to the user in different operating situations: Display indications Explanation This appears if the probe has already been detected by the instrument, but is disconnected.

LOW BATTERY WARNING AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT The battery symbol on the display constantly shows the battery charge status. To the extent that batteries have dis- charged, the symbol "empties". When the charge decreases still further it starts blinking… In this case, batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. If you continue to use it, the instrument can no longer ensure correct measurement.
ALFUNCTIONING UPON TURNING ON AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT After replacing the batteries, the instrument may not restart correctly; in this case, repeat the opera- tion. After disconnecting the batteries, wait a few minutes in order to allow circuit condensers to discharge completely; then reinsert the batteries. ARNING ABOUT BATTERY USE •...
SERIAL INTERFACE AND USB The HD2178.1 and HD2178.2 instruments are fitted with an electrically isolated RS-232C serial in- terface; the HD2178.2 also has an USB 2.0 interface. The following serial cables can be used: • HD2110CSNM: serial connection cable with 8-pole MiniDin connector on one end and 9-pole Sub D connector on the other end;...

STORING AND TRANSFERRING DATA TO A PERSONAL COMPUTER The HD2178.1 and HD2178.2 instruments can be connected to a personal computer via an RS232C serial port or USB 2.0 port, and exchange data and information through the DeltaLog9 software running in a Windows operating environment. Both models can send in real time input measured values directly to a PC, through the PRINT function;...
PRINT FUNCTION The PRINT function sends the measurements taken in real time by the instrument inputs directly to a PC or a printer. Print data units of measurements are the same as those used on the display. The function is started by pressing SERIAL. The time interval between two consecutive prints can be set from 1 second to 1 hour (please see the Print and log interval menu item on page 10).
SERIAL PORT OF THE INSTRUMENT 1. The measurement instrument must be switched off. 2. Using the Delta Ohm HD2110CSNM or C.206 cable, connect the measurement instrument to the first free RS232C (COM) or USB serial port of the PC. 3. Turn on the instrument and set the baud rate to 38400 (MENU >> ENTER until the Baud Rate parameter >>...
