INSTALLATION The meter meets NEMA 4X/IP65 requirements when properly installed. The unit is intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel. Prepare the panel cutout to the dimensions shown. Remove the panel latch from the unit. Slide the panel gasket over the rear of the unit to the back of the bezel. The unit should be installed fully assembled. Insert the unit into the panel cutout. While holding the unit in place, push the pane ...

back of the meter. All conductors should conform to the meter’s voltage and current ratings. All cabling should conform to appropriate standards of good installation, local codes and regulations. It is recommended that the power supplied to the meter (DC or AC) be protected by a fuse or circuit breaker. Strip the wire, leaving approximately 0.3" (7.5 mm) bare lead ex ...

CAUTION: Power common (PWR COMMON) is NOT isolated from input common (INP COMM). In order to preserve the safety of the meter application, the power common must be suitably isolated from hazardous live earth referenced voltage; or input common must be at protective earth ground potential. If not, hazardous voltage may be present at the Signal or User Inputs and input common terminals. Appropriate considerations must then be given to the ...

PROGRAMMING MODE ENTRY (SEL KEY) It is recommended all programming changes be made off line, or before installation. The meter normally operates in the Display Mode. No parameters can be programmed in this mode. The Programming Mode is entered by pressing and holding the SEL key. If it is not accessible then it is locked by either a security code, or a hardware lock. MODULE ENTRY (SEL & RST KEYS) The Programmin ...

COUNTER A DECIMAL POSITION COUNTER A SCALE FACTOR The number of input counts is multiplied by the scale factor to obtain the desired process value. A scale factor of 1.0000 will result in the display of the actual number of input counts. (Details on scaling calculations are explained at the end of this section.)* This selects the decimal point position for Counter A. The selection will also affect Counter ...

PARAMETER MENU RATE ENABLE Module 2 is the programming for the rate parameters. For maximum input frequency, Rate Enable should be set to NO when not in use. When set to NO, the remaining rate parameters are not accessible. The rate value is shown with an annunciator of “R” in the Display Mode. This selects the decimal point position for the rate display and any setpoint value assigned to rate. This para ...

The meter determines the input frequency by summing the number of falling edges received during a sample period of time. The sample period begins on the first falling edge. At this falling edge, the meter starts accumulating time towards Low Update and High Update values. Also, the meter starts accumulating the number of falling edges. When the time reaches the Low Update Time value, the meter looks for one more falling edge t ...

of programming parameters. This code can be used along with the Program Mode Lock-out (Pro Loc) in the User Input Function parameter (Module 1). Two programming modes are available. Full Programming mode allows all parameters to be viewed and modified. Quick Programming mode permits only the setpoint output time-out and counter load values (when applicable) to be modified, but allow ...

PARAMETER MENU The Setpoint Output Parameters are only active when an optional Setpoint Output Module is installed in the meter. Some parameters in the menu will not appear depending on the Setpoint Assignment and Setpoint Output Action. The Setpoint Parameter Availability chart below illustrates this.

To enter a negative setpoint value, increment digit 8 to display a “-” sign (Counter A only). This parameter automatically resets the counter to which the setpoint is assigned (SPn ASN) each time ...

PARAMETER MENU DATA BIT ABBREVIATED PRINTING PRINT OPTIONS PARITY BIT METER ADDRESS The Serial Communications Parameters are only accessible when an optional RS232 or RS485 serial communications module is installed in the meter. This section replaces the bulletin shipped with the RS232 and RS485 serial communications plug-in cards. Discard the separate bulletin when using those serial plug-in c ...

When sending commands to the meter, a string containing at least one command character must be constructed. A command string consists of a command character, a value identifier, numerical data (if writing data to the meter) followed by a command terminator character, * or $.

The meter can only receive data or transmit data at any one time (half-duplex operation). During RS232 transmissions, the meter ignores commands while transmitting data, but instead uses RXD as a busy signal. When sending commands and data to the meter, a delay must be imposed before sending another command. This allows enough time for the meter to process the command and prepare for the next command. At the start of the time inter ...
