EM13x Series SMART MULTIFUNCTION METER
91
The meter does not allow access to the low scale setting if the
parameter is directional. Whenever the sign of the output parameter is
changed to negative, the meter automatically uses the full engineering
scale setting for +1 mA with a negative sign.
Scaling Analog Outputs for 0-2 mA and ±2 mA
The 0-1mA and ±1mA current outputs provide a 100% overload, and
actually output currents up to 2 mA and ±2mA whenever the output
value exceeds the engineering scale you set for the 1 mA or ±1mA.
The output scales for 0-1 mA and ±1 mA analog outputs are
programmed for 0 mA and +1 mA regardless of the required output
current range.
To use the entire output range of 2 mA or ±2 mA, set the analog
output scales as follows:
0-2 mA
: set the 1 mA scale to ½ of the required full scale output for
uni-directional parameters, and set the 0 mA scale to the negative
full scale and the 1 mA scale to zero for bi-directional parameters.
±2 mA
: set the 1 mA scale to ½ of the required full-scale output for
both uni-directional and bi-directional parameters.
For example, to provide the 0 to 2 mA output current range for Volts
measured by the meter in the range of 0 to 120V, set the 1 mA scale
to 60V; then the 120V reading will be scaled to 2 mA.
Configuring Counters
The EM13X Series has four six-digit general counters that can count
pulses delivered through the device digital inputs with a programmable
scale factor. Each counter can also be incremented in response to any
internal or external event, checked and cleared through the Control
Setpoints.
