Model PD6000 Analog Input Process Meter Instruction Manual
Programming Set and Reset Points
High alarm indication: program set point above reset point.
Low alarm indication: program set point below reset point.
The deadband is determined by the difference between set and reset
points. Minimum deadband is one display count. If the set and reset
points are programmed with the same value, the relay will reset one
count below the set point.

Setting Fail-Safe Operation
In fail-safe mode of operation, the relay coil is energized when the
process variable is within safe limits and the relay coil is de-energized
when the alarm condition exists. The fail-safe operation is set indepen-
dently for each relay. Select
on
to enable or select
off
to disable fail-
safe operation.
Programming Time Delay
The
On
and
Off
time delays may be programmed for each relay be-
tween 0 and 999.9 seconds. The relays will transfer only after the condi-
tion has been maintained for the corresponding time delay.
The
On
time delay is associated with the set point.
The
Off
time delay is associated with the reset point.
Relay Action for Loss of 4-20 mA Input (Loop Break)
The loop break feature is associated with the 4-20 mA input. Each relay
may be programmed to go to one of the following conditions when the
meter detects the loss of the input signal (i.e. < 0.005 mA):
1. Turn
On
(Go to alarm condition)
2. Turn
Off
(Go to non-alarm condition)
3. Ignore (Processed as a low signal condition)
Note: This is not a true loop break condition; if the signal drops below
0.005 mA, it is interpreted as a “loop break” condition.
