Setup and Programming
Overview
There are no jumpers to set; setup and programming
is done by using the buttons (MENU, NEXT, UP,
ENTER) located behind the lower panel door of the
meter or PC-based software.
The meter may be powered via the USB connection
located behind the lower panel door of the meter for
the purposes of programming only. The backlight
requires an external power source. If the meter is
powered from the USB, the backlight will only work if
it is powered separately from a DC supply.
MeterView XL Programming
Software
The meter can also be programmed using PC-based
MeterView XL software. This software greatly
simplifies the programming process and allows the
user to save configuration files for later use.
The meter connects to the PC via a provided micro-
USB cable and is powered by the USB connection so
no additional power is needed during programming.

• The meter should only be connected to a computer
while it is located in a safe area.
• The image in the software shows the panel meter
version. The same software is used for the PD4.
• Care should be exercised to avoid ground loops
when connecting the USB to an active loop (e.g.
power supply, transmitter, loop-powered meter,
etc.). It is recommended to connect the (mA+)
terminal of the meter to the (-) terminal of a two-
wire transmitter and the (mA-) to the (+) of the next
device in the loop or to the (-) terminal of the power
supply.
The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment
to display 0.00 to 100.00, which corresponds to
the 4-20 mA input. The calibration equipment is
traceable to NIST standards.
