Due to technical changes, the instruction manuals available online may not always correspond to the product version you have purchased.
DAG-M4F 5. Brief description The panel meter DAG-M4F evaluates pulses in many different ways and shows the result in the 5-digit LED-display. Available options are: frequency coverage with optional filters, summate of pulses or display values via time, detection of a rotational speed or collection of a position via an incremental encoder.
DAG-M4F 6. Assembly Please read the following Safety advices on page 25 before installation and keep this user manual for future reference. 1. After removing the fixing elements, insert the device. 2. Check the seal to make sure it fits securely. 3.
DAG-M4F 7. Electrical connection Type DAG-M4F8 supply 100-240 VAC, DC ± 10% Type DAG-M4F7 supply 10-40 VDC, galv. Isolated, 18-30 VAC Advice If Namur sensors with a nominal voltage of approx. 8 V are used, then a sensor supply of 12 VDC is needed.
DAG-M4F 8. Function and operation description Operation The operation is divided into three different levels. Menu level (delivery status) This level was designed for the standard settings of the device. Only menu items which are sufficent to set the device into operation are displayed. To get into the professional level, run through the menu level and parameterize prof under menu item RUN.
DAG-M4F Function chart 9. Setting up the device 9.1 Switching-on Once the installation is complete, start the device by applying the voltage supply. Before, check once again that all electrical connections are correct. Starting sequence For 1 second during the switching-on process, the segment test (8 8 8 8 8) is displayed, followed by an indication of the software type and, after that, also for 1 second, the software version.
DAG-M4F 9.2 Standard parameterization (Flat operation level) To parameterize the display, press the [P]-key in operating mode for 1 second. The display then changes to the menu level with the first menu item TYPE. page 10 DAG-M4F K08/0623...
DAG-M4F Programming interlock RUN Description see page 12, menu level RUN 10. Reset to factory settings To return the unit to a defined basic state, a reset can be carried out to the default values. The following procedure should be used: ...
DAG-M4F 11. Alarms / Relays This device has 4 virtual alarms that can monitor one limit value in regard of an undercut or exceedance. Each alarm can be allocated to an optional relay output S1- S4; furthermore, alarms can be controlled by events like e.g. hold or min/max-value. page 34 DAG-M4F K08/0623...

DAG-M4F Operating current By operating current, the alarm S1-S2 is off below the threshold and on on reaching the threshold. Quiescent current By quiescent current the alarm S1-S2 is on below the threshold and switched off on reaching the threshold. Switching-on delay The switching-on delay is activated via an alarm and e.g.
DAG-M4F 12. Interfaces RS232 and RS485 The interface RS485 is connected via a screened data line with twisted wires (Twisted-Pair). On each end of the bus segment a termination of the bus lines needs to be connected. This is necessary to ensure a secure data transfer to the bus.
DAG-M4F 13. Programmer examples Example for the rotation speed adjustment In this application the rotation speed of an axis shall be collected via a toothed wheel with 30 sprockets, per Namur sensor. It is then displayed with one position after decimal point and the dimension rpm.
Page 38
DAG-M4F Example for angle coverage: On a manually operated bender for sheet metal the bending angle shall be displayed in degree. The device is in zero state (0°) during switching on of the display. An incremental encoder with 360 pulses/rotation is used. Examples: Adjustment according to number of sprockets at unknown rotation speed.
Page 39
DAG-M4F If the frequency needs to be displayed with a position after decimal point, then a 60 has to be selected as final value for this adjustment. Example: Rotation speed of a machine shaft There are 4 sprockets on one machine shaft. Applied in an angle of 90° to each other and to the rotation speed measurement.

DAG-M4F Screen off and twist sensor lines. Do not lay current-carrying lines in the vicinity. Connect the screening on one side on a suitable potential equalizer (normally signal ground). The device is not suitable for installation in areas where there is a risk of explosion.
DAG-M4F 19. Disposal Note! Avoid environmental damage caused by media-contaminated parts Dispose of the device and packaging in an environmentally friendly manner Comply with applicable national and international disposal regulations and environmental regulations. Batteries Batteries containing pollutants are marked with a sign consisting of a crossed-out garbage can and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg, Li or Pb) of the heavy metal that is decisive for the classification as containing pollutants: 1.
