INTRODUCTION The Tek-LCD 7800B-0K0 is a rugged, explosion-proof, loop-powered meter fully featured for demanding applications in hazardous areas or in the harshest environmental conditions. The meter derives all of its power from the 4-20 mA loop. It is programmed using the four through-glass buttons, without removing the cover, and can be scaled with or without a calibration signal.

INSTALLATION For Installation in USA: The Tek-LCD 7800B-0K0 must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) NFPA 70. For Installation in Canada: The Tek-LCD 7800B-0K0 must be installed in accordance with the Canadian Electrical Code CSA 22.1. All input circuits must be derived from a CSA approved Class 2 source.
Mounting The Tek-LCD 7800B-0K0 has two slotted mounting flanges that may be used for pipe mounting or wall mounting. Alternatively, the unit may be supported by the conduit using the conduit holes provided. Refer to Mounting Dimensions, page 39 for details.
Connections (continued) SIGNAL + 4-20 mA signal input positive terminal connection SIGNAL - 4-20 mA signal return/negative terminal connection when not using loop powered backlight. BACKLIGHT + +9-36 VDC when powering backlight from external supply. BACKLIGHT - 4-20 mA signal return/negative terminal when using the installed loop powered backlight or ground/negative when powering backlight from external supply.
Connections & Wiring Diagrams Signal connections are made to a four-terminal connector mounted in the base of the enclosure. The enclosure also provides one internal and one external earth grounding screw. For installations without backlight, only the two signal terminals are connected.
SETUP AND PROGRAMMING There is no need to recalibrate the meter for milliamps when first received from the factory. The meter is factory calibrated for milliamps prior to shipment. The calibration equipment is traceable to NIST standards. Overview Setup and programming are done through the infrared through-glass buttons or using the mechanical buttons when uncovered.
Through-Glass Buttons The Tek-LCD 7800B-0K0 is equipped with four sensors that operate as through-glass buttons so that it can be programmed and operated without removing the cover (and exposing the electronics) in a hazardous area. These buttons can be disabled for security by selecting the LOCK setting on the switch located on the connector board in the base of the enclosure.

Main Menu Display Functions & Messages The meter displays various functions and messages during setup, programming, and operation. The following table shows the main menu functions and messages in the order they appear in the menu. Display Parameter Action/Setting SETUP Setup Enter Setup menu DeC.
Main Menu The main menu consists of the most commonly used functions: Setup, Password, and Service. Press MENU button to enter Programming Mode then press the Up Arrow button to scroll through the main menu. • Press MENU, at any time, to exit and return to Run Mode. Changes made to settings prior to pressing Enter are not saved.
Setting Numeric Values The numeric values are set using the Right and Up arrow buttons. Press Right arrow to select next digit and Up arrow to increment digit. The digit being changed blinks. Press the Enter button, at any time, to accept a setting or MENU button to exit without saving changes.
Setting the Decimal Point (Dec. P t) Decimal point may be set with up to four decimal places or with no decimal point. Pressing the Right arrow moves the decimal point one place to the right until no decimal point is displayed. Pressing the Up arrow moves the decimal point one place to the left.
Programming the Meter (PRoG) It is very important to read the following information, before proceeding to program the meter: • There is no need to recalibrate the meter for milliamps when first received from the factory. • The meter is factory calibrated for milliamps prior to shipment. The calibration equipment is traceable to NIST standards.
Scaling the Meter (SCale) The 4-20 mA input can be scaled to display the process in engineering units. A signal source is not needed to scale the meter; simply program the inputs and corresponding display values. Figure 5. Scale Menu For instructions on how to program numeric values Setting Numeric Values, page 20.
Calibrating the Meter (Cal) To scale the meter without a signal source, refer to Scaling the Meter (SCale), page 23. The meter can be calibrated to display the process in engineering units by applying the appropriate input signal and following the calibration procedure. The use of a calibrated signal source is strongly recommended.
Minimum Input Span The minimum input span is the minimum difference between input 1 and input 2 signals required to complete the calibration or scaling of the meter. The minimum span is 0.10 mA. If the minimum span is not maintained, the meter reverts to input 2, allowing the appropriate input signals to be applied.
Setting Up the Password (PASSWRD) The Password menu is used to program a five-digit password to prevent unauthorized changes to the programmed parameter settings. The lock symbol is displayed to indicate that settings are protected. Locking the Meter Enter the Password menu and program a five-digit password. For instructions on how to program numeric values see Setting Numeric Values, page 20.
Disabling Password Protection To disable the password protection, access the Password menu and enter the correct password twice, as shown below. The meter is now unprotected until a new password is entered. Enter Password Run Mode 3024. 7 00000 LOCKED GALLONS LOCKED UNLOCKD...
Advanced Features Menu To simplify the setup process, functions not needed for most applications are located in the Advanced features menu. Press and hold the MENU button for five seconds to access the Advanced features menu. Hold for five seconds 3024.

For instructions on how to program numeric values Setting Numeric Values, page 20. Indication (INDICAT) The Indication menu is used to enable and set up a high or low alarm indication on the screen. When alarm indication is enabled, the HI and LO symbols are used accompanied by a flashing display.
Advanced Function Selection (FUNCTN) The Advanced Function menu is used to select the advanced function to be applied to the input: linear, square root, programmable exponent, or round horizontal tank volume calculation. The multi-point linearization is part of the linear function selection. Meters are set up at the factory for linear function with 2-point linearization.

Low-Flow Cutoff (CUTOFF) The low-flow cutoff feature allows the meter to be programmed so that the often- unsteady output from a differential pressure transmitter, at low flow rates, always displays zero on the meter. The default cutoff is zero to prevent negative readings, but this may be overridden to allow them.
Internal Calibration (ICAL) There is no need to recalibrate the meter for milliamps when first received from the factory. The meter is factory calibrated for milliamps prior to shipment. The calibration equipment is traceable to NIST standards. The internal calibration allows the user to scale the meter without applying a signal. The use of a calibrated signal source is necessary to perform the internal calibration of the meter.
