Using This Quick Start Manual
Use this Quick Start Manual to get your High Performance Strain
Gage Indicator up and running right out of the box. These
instructions use the factory default settings of
100mV unipolar
input
and
10 Vdc sensor excitation
. If you have voltage or
current input, refer to the main manual.
The latest complete Communication and Operational Manual
as well as
free
Software are available at
www.omega.com
or on the
CD-ROM enclosed with your shipment
.
To start your unit:
•
Connect ac power
•
Wire the sensor
•
Configure the meter, using the front panel buttons and the
configuration menus
Your unit should have the following parts:
•
Panel mounting gaskets
•
ac Power Connector (orange P1), two Input Connectors
(P3 and P9), and rear protective cover (mounted).
For detailed instructions, refer to the appropriate section in the
Operator’s Manual.
Before You Begin
In addition to the unit and related parts, you will need the following
items to set up your unit:
•
ac power as listed on meter’s product/ID label
•
External sensor (e.g.; load cell)
•
1/8” Phillips head screwdriver
•
1/8” flat blade screwdriver
Safety Consideration
This device is marked with the international Caution
symbol.
The instrument is a panel mount device protected in accordance
with EN 61010-1:2001, 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
dimensions shown to the right.
2. Position the unit in the opening,
making sure the front bezel/
gasket is flush with the panel.
3. From the rear of the panel, slide
the sleeve forward over the case
and up to the panel surface.
4. The panel should now be
sandwiched between the bezel-
backed gasket in front and the
sleeve in back.
5. Replace the thumbnuts that secure the sleeve tabs to the case.

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!
Connect ac Power
1.
Remove the rear protective cover and set it aside. The cover
is secured with a Phillips-head screw.
2.
Locate connector P1 on the bottom-left-rear of the unit. The
connector has three screw-down terminals (see below).
3.
Insert the correct wire in each terminal and tighten the
lockdown screw. Tug gently on each wire to verify the
connection.
Wiring a Millivolt Output Sensor
The following example shows wiring a bridge input to the meter.
1.
Locate connectors P3 and P9 on the right-side rear of the
unit.
2.
Attach the wires and tighten the retaining screws. Tug gently
on the wires to verify the connection.
Wiring Example (Factory set at 10Vdc Excitation
3.
Apply ac power. The front panel of the unit flashes
RESET2
. If it does not:
a.
Remove ac power.
b.
Verify the P1 power and sensor connections.
c.
Check your power source.
d.
Apply ac power again.
4.
Replace the rear cover. Thread the sensor wires through the
slots on the side of the cover. Replace the rear cover
retaining screw.
Determine Meter Scaling Factor
Calculate the scaling factor so the meter displays the desired
engineering units. Assuming no known load, use the formula:
RDG SC = display span/[(sensor’s mV/V output) (10,000)]
where:
display span = desired display at full scale
sensor’s output span = mV/V

Configure the Meter
Use the front panel buttons to access the configuration menus, to
either verify or set the unit values. The first table that follows
describes functions of each button on the front of the meter. The
second table summarizes the key sequences you must press and
the menus you will see to get your meter running. For a step-by-
step procedure of specific tasks, refer to the configuration sections
following the tables.
