Operation
The meter is capable of accepting current (0-20 mA,
4-20 mA) and voltage (0-5 V, 1-5 V, 0-10 V,
10 V)
signals and displaying these signals in engineering
units from -9

on display line 1 and units from -99999 to 999999 on
display line 2 (
e.g.
a 4-20 mA signal could be
displayed as 0

on display line 1
and -50.000 to 50.000 on display line 2).
The primary function of this meter is to display level
from a 4-20 mA output transmitter in feet and inches
format rather than the more common decimal format.
The meter can also display the 4-20 mA signal in a
different scale on line 2 with
d-SCAL
enabled to
provide users with a display of both level and volume,
for instance. The meter also provides the 24 VDC
necessary to power the transmitter, thus simplifying
wiring and reducing costs.
The meter can be equipped with up to 4 internal and 4
external relays to provide alarm and control functions.
The relays can be set up for pump control alternation
to maintain even wear of pumps. The relays can also
be used to drive Precision Digital
The meter can be operated from the front panel
buttons or remotely using a
connected to the meter using a
expansion module. Users can acknowledge relays,
display and reset the Max/Min values, manually
control relays, etc.
Additionally, the meter can be set up to display the
analog input in feet and inches on the main display
and the Modbus input on the second display. The
relays and analog output can be programmed to
operate from the Modbus PV input.

Function Keys Operation
During operation, the programmable function keys
operate according to the way they have been
programmed in the
Advanced Features
– User
menu.

The table above shows the factory default settings for
F1, F2, and F3.
F4 Operation
A digital input, F4, is standard on the meter. This
digital input is programmed identically to function keys
F1, F2, and F3. The input is triggered with a contact
closure to COM, or with an active low signal. During
operation, F4 operates according to the way it has
been programmed in the
Advanced Features
– User
menu. See

Maximum/Minimum Readings
The max & min readings (peak & valley) reached by
the process can be displayed either continuously or
momentary:
1. Display briefly by assigning to the F1-F3 function
keys or to the digital inputs in the
User
menu.
2. Display continuously by assigning either display
to max/min through the
Display
menu.
Any of the F1-F3 function keys (buttons) and the
digital inputs can be programmed to reset the max &
min readings. The meters are set at the factory to
display the max reading by pressing the Up arrow/F2
button and to use the Right arrow/F1 button to access
the
Reset
menu.
To display max reading using function key with
factory defaults:
1. Press Up arrow/F2 button to display maximum
reading since the last reset/power-up.
2. To reset max/min press Right arrow/F1 button to
access the Reset menu. The max & min displays
are reset to actual values.
3. Press Menu to exit max/min display reading.
To display max/min readings continuously:
Assign either display to Max (
d Hi
), Min (
d Lo
), or
toggle between Max and Min (
d HL
) every 10
seconds.
