Instruction Manual

RESET

User Select:
1. Automatically when input passes reset point.
2. Automat Manually (via user supplied 

switch or front panel ACK button). Manual 
reset resets all manually resetable relays. 

DEADBAND

0-100% of full scale, user selectable.

HIGH OR LOW 

User may program any alarm for a high or low

ALARM

trip point.

FAIL-SAFE 

Relay coils are energized in non-alarm 

OPERATION

condition. In case of power failure, relays will 
go to alarm state. Fail-safe operation may be 
disabled, by removing jumper J2 located on the
Options PCB.

AUTO 

When power is applied to the meter, relays will

INITIALIZATION

always reflect the state of the input to the meter.

Isolated 4-20 mA Transmitter Output

CALIBRATION

The transmitter output can be calibrated so that

RANGE

a 4 mA output is produced for any number 
displayed by the meter. The 20 mA output may 
correspond to any number that is at least 501 
counts greater or smaller than the number 
corresponding to 4 mA. (Ex. 4 mA = 0, 20 mA = 
501) If the span between 4 and 20 mA is less 
than 501 counts, an error message will appear.

EQUIPMENT

The 4-20 mA output is calibrated without

NEEDED

the use of a calibrator. No equipment needed.

OUTPUT

(AC Meters only), Isolated 24 VDC ± 5% @ 20

LOOP-POWER

mA regulated. Maximum loop resistance is 
1200 ohms. Available for either signal input or
4-20 mA output, but not both.

ACCURACY

± 0.1% F.S., ± 0.004 mA.

ISOLATION

500 VDC or peak AC, input-to-output or
input/output-to-power line.
