Using This Quick Start Manual
Use this Quick Start Manual to set up your Process Meter and begin
operation. Information is provided on how to:
• Connect ac power
• Set basic options for operation
Connect the sensor
• Scale the meter.
Features with
are for the “B” version which has three-color
programmable “Big” LED display - All segment characters shown are for
the “B” version.
IMPORTANT:
For complete information on all setup options, please
refer to the Operator’s Manual.
This Quick Start Manual includes specific configuration
parameters for transducers with an output range of 4–20 mA
and 24 V excitation. Other sensor types may require different
parameters or additional ones. When this is the case, we refer
you to the Operator's Manual for detailed instructions.
Safety Consideration
This device is marked with the international Caution symbol.
The instrument is a panel mount device protected in accordance with
2014/35/EU
, electrical safety requirements for electrical equipment for
measurement, control and laboratory.
Remember that the unit has no
power-on switch. Building installation should include a switch or circuit-
breaker that must be compliant to IEC 947-1 and 947-3.
SAFETY:
• Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the top of the instrument
housing.
• Always disconnect power before changing signal and power connections.
• Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its case for safety
reasons.
• Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive atmospheres.
• Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.
EMC:
• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
• Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.
• Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wire close to the instrument if EMC problems
persist.
Mount the Unit
1. Cut a panel opening using the dimen-
sions shown to the right.
2. Position the unit in the opening, making
sure the front bezel is flush with the
panel.
3. Install retaining clips on both sides of
the meter and tighten against the panel.
Wiring
Warning: Do not connect AC power to your device until you
have completed all input and output connections. This device
must only be installed by a specially trained electrician with
corresponding qualifications. Failure to follow all instructions
and warnings may result in injury!
1. Remove the panel at the back of the unit.
2. Locate the TB1 connector.
3. Insert the correct wire in each terminal as shown in the following figure
and tighten the lockdown screws.
4. Tug gently on the wires to verify the connections.
External Fuse Required:
Time-delay, UL 248-14 listed Time-lag, IEC 127-3 recognized
175 mA (115 Vac line)
125 mA (115 Vac line)
80 mA (230 Vac line)
63 mA (230 Vac line)

Wiring
(continued)
When using DC power, do not use internal excitation or Isolated
Analog Output for high color brightness. For low or medium
brightness, internal excitation is limited to 24 V @ 25 mA; 5 V, 10
V, 12 V @ 35 mA.
In order to maintain the same degree of protection as the AC units,
always use a Safety Agency Approval DC source with the same
Overvoltage Category and Pollution Degree.
DC Powered Unit Connections
Connect the Sensor
1. Locate the TB2 connector on the rear of the unit.
2. Attach the sensor wires and tighten the lockdown screws.
The diagram below shows the wiring for 4–20 mA sensors with internal
excitation.
Refer to the Operator’s Manual for setup requirements for other
sensor types.

3. Tug gently on the wires to verify the connections.
4. Replace the panel at the back of the unit.

To Scale the Meter
You can scale the meter in one of two ways:
1. With a known load — This method uses input (load) information
sent from another device such as a scale or a simulator for
voltage or current.
2. Without a known load — This involves calculating the load
based on transducer specifications and manually entering it to
the meter.
For both methods, you must first identify the minimum input load
IN!1
and the corresponding display reading you want
RD!1
. Then
you identify the maximum input load
IN!2
and its corresponding
display reading
RD!2
.
The decimal point is for display purposes only — you set it
where you want it to display for your application.
When entering
IN!1
and
IN!2
values, ignore any decimal
point on the display. However, you must enter
RD!1
and
RD!2
values with the decimal point in the desired position.
Scaling With Known Loads
To identify the minimum known load (
IN!1
and
RD!1
):
1. If it's not already shown, press
