General Description

This meter has been designed to be simple to configure. It is easy to use because
no menu is used. Look at the front panel below... to adjust ZERO you press the
ZERO button, to adjust Span you press the SPAN button, to adjust Analogue
Output you press the OUTPUT button, to adjust Alarms you press the ALARM
button. There is no need to spend time learning a complex menu system.

The meter’s main function is to totalise (or integrate) from a linear process
signal. So, it will accept the most common process signals such as 4-20mA, 0-
10V etc. You can use the 24V excitation supply to power 2 wire transmitters, 3
wire transmitters etc.

The meter can give alarm outputs, scaled and isolated analogue output and isolated
serial data retransmission when fitted with option boards.

The front panel has a 6 digit, 7 segment window for displaying the measurement.
It allows decimal point and minus sign characters to be included and has 4
alarm annunciators to show the status of each alarm relay.

The front panel pushbuttons each have an LED to show which setting is being
altered at any time. A clear protective window is provided, behind which you
can fit one of our ‘Units-of-Measure’ labels, to identify the reading as Kg, or
Litres, barrels etc.

A lockout switch on the rear of the meter saves your configuration settings in
non-volatile memory, which has a 10 year guaranteed storage period. If the lockout
switch is not set ON, your settings could be accidentally altered.

Page 3
Getting Started

First, please check that the display will suit all the requirements of your
application. Page 4 has some important warnings - please check that all warnings
are covered.

If you have analogue output or alarm relay options, you may need to configure
their boards before installing the meter in a panel. See the separate sections in
this manual for those options.

Check that your panel cutout is correct , 92mm wide, 45mm high. You must fit the
meter in a protective enclosure for installation class II service. Remove the 2
screws holding the U clamp at the rear of the case. Slide the meter into the cutout
and re-fit the U clamp and screws. Tighten the screws just enough to hold the
meter firmly in place and make sure the sealing gasket is evenly held between
the panel and the bezel.

Connect the signal and power cables, to the appropriate screw terminal connectors.
Check that you are using the correct terminals or you may cause damage to the
meter. Do not connect any output or alarm cabling yet.

Apply power, and confirm that the meter illuminates all segments for a few
seconds and then shows the software version “VEr. X.X” briefly (The X numerals
depend on version).

The lockout switch should be OFF to allow you to change the meter’s settings.
Set the scaling to suit your system, using one of the scaling methods described in
this manual. Check that the meter responds correctly. Now, adjust your analogue
output settings, if necessary, and alarm settings. Use a DVM of sufficient precision
to check that the analogue output is operating as required, and use a continuity
tester to check that the relay contacts operate correctly. Switch the meter off, and
check alarm relay contact status. Check that the contact status suits your system,
in conditions of power loss to the meter.

When you have verified all settings, you can connect the alarm relay and analogue
output cables, to check that your system operation is satisfactory.

Remember to set the lockout switch ON when you have finished , to prevent
accidental loss of your settings.

1) How to set SPAN and DECIMAL POINT

Press the SPAN button for 3 seconds. You’ll see ‘dC V’ or ‘dC A’ if the meter is
set for DC Voltage or DC current. Use the up or down arrow to change, if
needed and then press OK.

You will now see ‘Int H’ or ‘Int d’ to allow you to calibrate in counts per hour or
day. Select the most appropriate, and press OK

You’ll now see ‘In HI’ briefly, then a value, with one digit brighter than the
other. This is 20.000 for a 4-20mA input signal, or 10.000 for a 0-10V input
signal, 5.000 for a 1-5V input signal and so on. If the value is correct, press the
‘OK’ button, otherwise use the ‘DIGIT’ key to select digits, and the ‘UP’ or
‘DOWN’ arrow keys to alter. When correct, press the ‘OK’ button.

‘rd HI’ appears briefly, then a value, with one digit brighter than the other. This
is what will be displayed for the IN HI input, at full scale, after 1 hour or 1 day,
depending on whther you chose ‘Int H’ or ‘Int d’. If the value is correct, press the
‘OK’ button , otherwise use the ‘DIGIT’ key to select digits, and the ‘UP’ or
‘DOWN’ arrow keys to alter . The Decimal point position may be set after the
most significant digit has been selected. When correct, press the ‘OK’ button.

See the following page for examples ...

2) How to set ZERO

Press the ZERO button for 3 seconds. You’ll see ‘IN LO’ briefly, then a value,
with one digit brighter than the other. This is 4.000 for a 4-20mA input signal,
0.000 for a 0-10V input signal, 1.000 for a 1-5V input signal etc. If already
correct, press the ‘OK’ button. Or, use the ‘DIGIT’ key to select digits, and the
‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ arrow keys to change. When correct, press the ‘OK’ button.

You’ll now see ‘LO rd’ briefly,then a value, with one digit brighter than the
other. This is what will be displayed for the IN LO input. If already correct,
simply press the ‘OK’ button. Or, use the ‘DIGIT’ key to select digits, and the
‘UP’ or ‘DOWN’ arrow keys to change. When correct, press the ‘OK’ button.

See the following page for examples ...

Now, please set the LOCKOUT switch ON to protect your settings

Calibration Examples

1. 4 to 20mA = 0 to 300m3 per day flow rate.

You want to display total m3 passed

a. Set ‘Int d’ because your flowrate is described in m3 per day

b. Set InHi = 20.000mA
c. Set rd Hi to 300 (after 24 hrs at 20mA, the display will reach 300)
d. Set InLO to 4.000 mA
e. Set lo Rd to 0 (At 4mA you want no accumulation)

2. 4 to 20mA = 0 to 100 litres per hour

You want to display total litres, to 2 decimal places.

a. Set ‘Int H’ because your flowrate is described in litres per hour

b. Set InHi = 20.000mA
c. Set rd Hi to 100.00 (after 1hr at 20mA, the display will reach 100.00)
d. Set InLO to 4.000 mA
e. Set lo Rd to 0 (At 4mA you want no accumulation)

Filter and Last Digit Roundup

Press the OK button 5 times to access the filter time constant, which is expressed
in seconds. You can use the filter to improve your display stability with fluctuating
input signals. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to select a time constant in the
range 0 to 5 seconds. Bigger time constants give more stability but slower
response. Press OK when selected.

t0 tc time...
The Time constant of this digital filter is very similar to the time constant of an RC filter where
T=RC . The time constant is the time it takes for the display to reach 63 % of its final reading value,
after a step change on the input. You can see that if you select a 1 second filter time, it will take
several seconds for the meter to reach its final value. To give improved response to large step
changes, we momentarily cancel the filter action for stable input step changes of over 64 counts,
and then re-apply the filter to maintain stability.

Another function which can give you a more stable display, with less flicker is
the LAST DIGIT ROUNDUP.

After the filter setting, the display will show LSt and a number. This number sets
the increments by which the meter will change its reading.

Features
Calibration Counter / Tamper detector
An internal totaliser counts each calibration. The ‘CAL XX’ value appears for a
second or two after you switch the meter on. The number starts at 00 and can go
up to FF (255 counts). It doesn’t count changes of setpoints, or changes of filter
value or count-by value . It stores the total in non-volatile memory which can’t
be reset, so is useful for keeping track of the meter’s calibration history.

Reset Command
The reset command clears the accumulated total. It may be accessed either
from the front panel or by external contact closure command.

Front Panel key reset command

1) Link terminal 7 to terminal 10
2) Set lockout switch ‘ON’
3) Press Down Arrow key to reset display

Remote contact closure resetting

1) Connect a normally-open contact closure switch between terminals 7 and 10
2) Set lockout switch ‘ON’

Display Rate Command

The ‘displat Rate’ allows you to see the instantaneous flow rate. It may be
accessed either from the front panel or by external contact closure command.

Front Panel key rate display command

1) Link terminal 7 to terminal 9
2) Set lockout switch ‘ON’
3) Press Down Arrow key to see rate

Remote contact closure rate display command

1) Connect a normally-open contact closure switch between terminals 7 and 9
2) Set lockout switch ‘ON’
3) When you make a contact closure between terminals 7 and 9, the display
will show the intantaneous rate value, for as long as the contact is closed.

How to install option boards
If you want to open the meter to install or modify option boards, follow these
steps...

1) Switch off power to the meter and unplug all connectors.

2) Unclip the front bezel. This is easier if you squeeze the top and bottom of
the case, near the front.
3) Remove the small screws shown in the diagram. If the meter doesn’t yet
have an output option board, the top screw may not yet be fitted.
4) Slide the electronic boards out throught the front of the case. You can easily
separate the upper option board from the
main board. We strongly suggest that you
use anti-static precautions toprevent
damage to the semiconductors.

The board assemblies will look something like this...

The analogue output and RS232 or RS422 plug-in option boards are fixed to the
upper option board with white plastic pillars. You must apply a firm force when
fitting or removing these options.

Always be careful to connect the pins to sockets accurately. When reassembling,

make sure option boards are firmly fixed to the upper option board. When the
boards are replaced in the case, secure them again with the two small black
screws.

Page 10
Alarm Board Configuration & Adjustment

For failsafe operation (where contacts open on alarm or when power is lost to
the meter) set the jumpers for OPEN CONTACTS and DE-ENERGISE on alarm.

To access to the alarm board, first remove power from meter, including any
power which might be on the alarm output circuitry.

Look on the top and bottom surfaces of the case, near the rear. You will see two
small screws, one on each surface. Remove both screws. Now, clip off the front
bezel and slide the meter assembly carefully out via the front of the case.

The relay board plugs into the main board. Gently separate the two boards.

The hysteresis value is directly related to your measurements, so, for example, if
you have a high alarm, set to 500 , and set the hysteresis value to 7, the alarm
will occur when the meter reading rises above 500, and will reset when the
meter reading falls to 493 . If the hysteresis is set to 9999, the alarms will be
provided with ‘IN-FLIGHT’ compensation (automatic correction for overshoot)

Page 12
In-Flight Compensation

You can configure the meter to have in-flight compensation, which can improve
alarm accuracy in some applications.

Here’s how it works....

Imagine you have a storage container and you want to empty a certain amount of
material from that container into a bin.

When the bin reaches the desired

weight, the meter will switch off the
shutoff valve. But, a certain amount of
Storage container
material is still falling into the bin, and
will add to the weight, causing an
overweight error.

Alarm
Shutoff Valve
250.0
Material ‘In Flight’ Kg

Bin being filled

weight signal
Weighing platform

The meter will automatically compare the desired setpoint level to the actual
final fill or empty weight, or position, and compensate for any calculated error
for the next cycle This is a continuous process, so if material consistency varies
and the in-flight error varies, the meter automatically adapts after each operation.

For the first alarm, the meter will correct for 100% of the measured error, to get
as close to desired action as possible. Then, each time the alarm occurs, it will
correct for 25% of the previous smaller error, to reduce the effects of material
variations.

To use the inflight compensation, set Hysteresis to 9999 for the alarm channels
you need it to operate on.

Page 13
Analogue Output Configuration

We always set the meters to suit any requests on your order, so you should not
need to adjust the analogue board. If you didn’t specify ranges, but ordered
option ‘ANI’, the meter will be set for 4-20mA output. If you ordered ‘ANV’ it
will be set for 0-10V.

If you want to change a range, for example from 0-10V to 4-20mA, the zero and
span potentiometers must be adjusted to get best accuracy at 0% and 100%.

You will need to remove the analogue board from the case to change the position
of jumpers and to adjust the fine trim potentiometers. See the page headed “ How
to fit Option Boards” for details of how to expose this board. The analogue
board, if fitted, can be seen plugged into the upper board, and can be easily
identified because it has either 2 or 3 blue potentiometers, depending on version.

You will need to carefully unplug the analogue output board from the upper
board and change the jumper positions to suit your new range, as shown below.

This potentiometer may not be fitted on all boards.
It is only to be adjusted in the factory.

Re assemble the meter, apply power and follow the Analogue Output Settings
procedure on the next page. Measure the analogue output and trim, if needed,
using the ZERO and SPAN potentiometers, for best accuracy.

Page 14
How to adjust your Analogue Output
The lockout switch should be set ‘OFF’ to change the analogue output calibration.
You can set the analogue output range to suit your display range.

The analogue output can be directly proportional or inversely proportional to

the display range, for example you can have 4-20mA output for display 0 to100
or for display 100 to 0.

1) Press ‘OUTPUT’ button for 3 seconds

2) 0% O/P LED should flash
3) Set the display for the reading value where you want 0% Output, by using
DIGIT and UP/DOWN buttons

Serial Communications Output Option
You can have either an RS232 or an RS422 ASCII output at 1200 baud
representing the meter’s displayed value. You can have a continuous transmission
of readings, or a single transmission on demand.

RS232 O/P on terminal 16 (data+) and terminal 18(common)

RS422 O/P on terminals 16 & 17(Data + and -) and 18 (common)

String Format:
Data is made ASCII coded numerals, with embedded decimal point position if
one has been set on the display, with a preceding - sign if the display is negative,
with leading zero blanking, followed by a Carriage Return and a Line Feed.

So, for a displayed value of....

12345 the string will be <space><space><1><2><3><4><5><CR><LF>

-15.0 the string will be <space><space><-><1><5><.><0><CR><LF>

Commands:
The data output port is activated by connecting to the ENABLE terminal.

For RS232, the ENABLE port must be held high at a 5V level for as long as
serial data output is required, or, if only one string of data is needed, the ENABLE
line must be held high until the transmission starts, after which it may be taken
low again. The Sig- connection on terminal 17 may be used to provide the 5V
level if an external source is not available

For RS422, the ENABLE port operates in reverse, so must be held low to
enable transmission.

If you need a remote mimic display, the Model INTUITIVE-S is an ideal choice,
being a 1/8 DIN meter directly compatible with this output format.

Also, we manufacture a range of Large Format remote displays having digit

heights of 57mm, 102mm, 144mm, 200mm and 280mm. Ask us about the 1700
Series and the EasyReader Series.

8 Programme Memory Option

With the MEM-08 option, you can store up to 8 sets of configuration and
calibration data. This is useful if you want to connect a number of different
sensors, each with different calibration, to the meter, selected by rotary switch.
Each memory location can have its own input/display calibration, alarm settings,
and analogue O/P calibration. NB The linearisation facility is not available
with this option.

Memory locations are addressed using an external switch. If you need up to 4

memories, you may use a simple rotary switch. If you need more than 4 memories
you must use a BCD coded switch, as shown below.....

If you wish to use a rotary switch to
select up to 8 memory locations, and
to switch up to 8 two-wire signals,
we make a 1/8 DIN rotary switch
6 model SW2P8W-BCD for this
purpose.
Simple rotary switch BCD coded switch

Programming Notes:
Memory location 0 is a ‘GLOBAL’ programming location. When you programme
location 0 , the same data will be written to all the other memory locations as
well. Therefore, always programme location 0 first. However if you switch off
the switch next to the input connector, before programming location 0, this effect
will not occur. The switch will then have to be set ON if you wish to access the
other memories. If this feature is undesirable in your system, you should limit
the number of programmes to 7 and arrange your switching to prevent location 0
from being accessed.(ie never have all BCD select lines disconnected from
Common)

All programmes are stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory, which has a typical
storage life of 10 years, and which does not rely on battery backup.
