    PLEASE check the carton’s contents as soon as possible after receipt, to detect any transit damage or losses.Unpack the contents and check each item in the box against the check list below to make sure you have all items. Check List : Handbook Display Mounting kit ( where appropriate )
  • Page 5: General Specifications

    GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS Display type Scaleable rate/frequency meter, adjustable averaging and resolution Signal inputs Contact closure, NPN, PNP, 5V TTL/CMOS, 24VDC Debounce jumpers available, limiting inputs to <10Hz. Max I/P rate without debounce = 10Khz. Input Resistances: 2200 Ohms if internal pull-up/down enabled. Otherwise 10M Excitation Supply: Nominally 13VDC at 60mA max.
  • Page 6: Internal Cables

    3.0 INTERNAL CABLES The units are supplied with approximately 2 metres of free ended cable for mains, signal and serial ports. You may connect your own cable to this, via a junction box, or completely remove the supplied cable and install your own.

  • Page 8: Typical Input Connections

    SIGNAL, DATA AND CONTACT CLOSURE CONNECTIONS Typical Input Connections The most common input sensor types are shown below, with a wiring guide, to assist you in the installation of your totaliser. Only one input is shown, as they both have identical input circuitry. Because the pullup resistors are not independent ( both inputs will be pulled up or down), you should choose sensors which require the same pullup format, if using both inputs.
  • Page 9: Contact Closure Remote Programmer Connections

    PROGRAMMING YOUR DISPLAY The Ratemeter offers useful flexibility in scaling and display presentation, and all parameters are adjusted by using the three contact closure programming pushbuttons. It is worth spending a little time familiarising yourself with the menu and the programming technique before carrying out a full calibration.
  • Page 10: The Programming Menu & Brightness Adjustment

    The Programming Menu As you enter the menu, prompts will appear on the display. Because they are formed with simple 7 segment displays, they do not appear to be familiar letter shapes, but are described in detail here. SCALE This is the scale factor, which allows you to multiply or divide the input frequency (in Hz.) by a constant.

  • Page 13: Installation

    INSTALLATION If possible position the display away from heat and direct sunlight on the display face. The displays should not be exposed to substances liable to damage uPVC, acrylic or glass. If mounted outside, the display should be protected by a shroud to limit direct falls of rain, the cooling effect of which can give rise to the display sucking in moisture.

  • Page 15: Multiple Display Mounting

    TROUBLE SHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE The Large displays have been designed to provide a long trouble-free life and require no routine maintenance. An annual calibration check is recommended. The front lens may be cleaned with a proprietary window cleaner, and the case may be hosed down, and cleaned with a cloth dampened with mild detergent.
  • Page 16: Warranty
