F4 Digital Input Connections
A digital input, F4, is standard on the meter. This
digital input should be connected with a normally
open contact across F4 and COM, or with an active
low signal applied to F4. It can be used for remote
operation of front-panel buttons, to acknowledge/reset
relays, or to reset max/min values. See
& Digital I/O Available Settings
complete list of capabilities.
Figure 28. F4 Digital Input Connections
4-20 mA Output Connections
Connections for the 4-20 mA transmitter output are
made to the connector terminals labeled MA OUT.
The 4-20 mA output may be powered internally or
from an external power supply.
Figure 29. 4-20 mA Output Connections
Analog Output Transmitter Power
Supply
The internal 24 VDC power supply powering the
analog output may be used to power other devices, if
the analog output is not used. The I+ terminal is the
+24 V and the R terminal is the return.

Remote Operation of Meter
The meter can be operated via the programming
buttons or a PDA2364-MRUE remote control station
using the digital inputs and outputs connections as
illustrated in

Interlock Relay Feature
As the name implies, the interlock relay feature
reassigns one, or more, alarm/control relays for use
as interlock relay(s). Interlock contact(s) are wired to
digital input(s) and activate the interlock relay. This
feature is enabled by configuring the relay, and the
corresponding digital input(s), see
Interlock Relay (Force On) Feature
In the example below, an Interlock Contact switch is
connected to a digital input, which will be used to
force on (energize) the Interlock Relay. The Interlock
Relay and the Control Relay are connected in series
with the load.
•
When the Interlock Contact is closed (safe), the
Interlock Relay energizes, allowing power to flow
to the Control Relay; the corresponding front
panel LED is on.
•
When the Interlock Contact is open, the
corresponding front panel LED flashes (locked
out), the Interlock Relay is de-energized,
preventing power from flowing to the Control
Relay and the load.
