PD6928 Ex-Proof & I.S. Loop-Powered Flow Rate/Totalizer
Instruction Manual
26
Setup and Programming
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.
Overview
There are no jumpers to set; setup and programming
is done through the CapTouch buttons or the free
MeterView XL PC-based software.
The meter may be powered via the micro-USB
connection located on the display module for the
purpose of programming only. The backlight will not
work while the meter is powered via the USB
connection.
CapTouch Buttons
The PD6928 is equipped with four capacitive sensors
that operate as through-glass buttons so that it can be
programmed and operated without removing the
cover (and exposing the electronics) in a hazardous
area.
These buttons can be disabled for security by
selecting the Lock setting on the switch located on the
side of the display module, close to the Menu button.
To actuate a button, press one finger to the window
directly over the marked button area. When the cover
is removed, the CapTouch buttons can be used after
the meter completes a self-calibrating routine (hand
symbol flashes). The sensors are disabled when more
than one button is pressed, and they will automatically
re-enable after a few seconds (hand symbol off).
CapTouch Buttons Delay
The CapTouch have two modes of operation:
Normal
and
Delayed
. Use the Delayed mode to prevent
accidental trigger of the buttons. In the Delayed
mode, the buttons enter into a low sensitivity state
(sleep) and they ignore quick button presses after 20
seconds of inactivity. To wake up the buttons, press
and hold any button for more than 2 seconds, the
buttons respond normally.
Disabling the CapTouch Buttons
The CapTouch buttons can be disabled by moving the
slide switch, located on the display module to the
Lock position; see the image below.
CapTouch Button Tips &
Troubleshooting
The CapTouch buttons are designed to work under
any lighting condition and to protect against false
triggering. If the CapTouch buttons are not needed
during operation, they can be disabled (slide switch to
Lock).
•
To remove cover with power applied (safe area
only) or to clean the window, place your hand
over the buttons; this will temporarily disable the
CapTouch buttons to prevent inadvertent use.
•
Keep the window clean.
•
Tighten the cover securely.
•
Use a password to prevent tampering.
•
CapTouch buttons will not work if two or more
buttons are detected as being pressed
simultaneously. Be careful to avoid triggering
multiple buttons or reaching across one button
location to press another.
