INFCS - Configuring the Meter

CONFIGURING THE METER
USING OUTPUT CONFIGURATION ("OT.CF")
Output Configuration ("OT.CF") is not active unless your meter has analog output capabilities. The menu will display whether analog output is present or not.

Use Output Configuration ("OT.CF") for the following:
* To enable or disable the analog output
* To determine if the analog output is current or voltage
* To assign the output to the net or gross reading

Enabling or Disabling the Analog Output To enable or disable the analog output.
1. Press the MENU button until the meter shows "OT.CF".

2. Press the /TARE button. The meter shows one of the following:
* "O.1=D" (Analog output disabled)
* "O.1=E" (Analog output enabled) (default)

3. Press the

/NT/GRS button to toggle between available choices.

4. Press the /TARE button to select analog output as current/voltage or press the MENU button to store your selection and enter "OT.S.O" (Output Scale and Offset).

SELECTING ANALOG OUTPUT as CURRENT or VOLTAGE
To select your analog signal output as current or voltage.

1. Press the /TARE button. The meter shows one of the following:
* "O.2=V" (Analog output = voltage)
* "O.2=C" (Analog output = current) (default)

2. Press the

/NT/GRS button to toggle between available choices.

3. Press the /TARE button to select gross/net display or press the MENU button to store your selection and enter "OT.S.O" (Output Scale and Offset).

ASSIGNING THE OUTPUT TO NET OR GROSS READING
1. Press the /TARE button. The meter shows one of the following:
* "O.3=N" (Net Reading) (default)
* "O.3=G" (Gross Reading)

2. Press the

/NT/GRS button to toggle between available choices.

3. Press the MENU button to store your selection. The meter momentarily shows "STRD", followed by "OT.S.O" (Output Scale and Offset).

USING OUTPUT SCALE AND OFFSET ("OT.S.O")
Output Scale and Offset ("OT.S.O") is not active unless your meter has analog output capabilities. The menu will display whether analog output is present or not. Output Scale and Offset ("OT.S.O") scales your analog output to be equal to the meter's display and/or any engineering units you require. You may scale the output for direct (4-20 mA, 0-10 V, etc) or reverse acting (20-4 mA, 10-0 V, etc).

1. Press the /TARE button. The meter shows "RD 1" (Read 1).

This display reading corresponds to your starting analog output signal.

2. Press the /TARE button again. The meter shows the last previously stored 4-digit number (-1999 through 9999) with flashing 4th digit.

3. Press the

/NT/GRS button to change the value of Read 1. If you continue to press the

/NT/GRS button, the flashing digit's value continues to change.

4. Press the /TARE button to scroll horizontally to the next digit.

5. Press the MENU button to store your selection. The meter shows "OUT.1" (Output 1).

This starting analog signal corresponds to your Read 1 display.

6. Press the /TARE button. The meter shows the selected output.

If you select "O.2=V" for voltage, the maximum signal you may select is 10.00 for an 0-10 V signal output. If you select "O.2=C" for current, the maximum signal you may select is 20.00.

7. Press the

/NT/GRS button to enter the output 1 signal selection. If you continue to press the

/NT/GRS button, the flashing digit's value continues to change.

8. Press the /TARE button to scroll horizontally to the next digit.

9. Press the MENU button to store your selection. The meter shows "RD 2" (Read 2).

This ending analog signal should correspond to your Read 2 display.

10. Press the /TARE button. The meter shows the last previously stored 4-digit number (-1999 from 9999) with flashing 4th digit.

11. Press the

/NT/GRS button to change the value of the flashing digit. If you continue to press the

/NT/GRS button, the flashing digit's value continues to increment by one.

12. Press the /TARE button to scroll horizontally to the next digit.

13. Press the MENU button to store your selection. The meter shows "OUT.2" (Output 2). Note:

This analog signal should correspond to your Read 2 display.

14. Press the /TARE button. The meter shows the selected output.

/NT/GRS button to change the value of the flashing digit. If you continue to press the

/NT/GRS button, the flashing digit's value continues to increment by one.

16. Press the /TARE button to scroll horizontally to the next digit.

17. Press the MENU button to store your selection. The meter momentarily shows "STRD", followed by "LK.CF" (Lock Out Configuration). Meter then returns to the operating mode.

If the meter shows flashing values on RD 1 or RD 2, the value has overflowed. Press the

/NT/GRS button to start new values.

EXAMPLE for OUTPUT SCALE and OFFSET
Example: You want to send 4-20 mA output for 0 to 450.0ºF. The meter has 0.1degree resolution.

2. Press the /TARE button twice. The meter shows one of the following (default is "RS.=E"):
* "RS.=E" (To enable the RESET button in the run mode)
* "RS.=D" (To disable the RESET button in the run mode)

3. Press the

/NT/GRS button to toggle between available choices.

4. Once desired mode shows, press the MENU button to store the change. The meter shows "RST" (hard reset) and returns to the run mode.

Enabling or Disabling Setpoint Changes:
1. Press the MENU button until the meter shows "LK.CF".(after "OT.S.O", if you are entering the Lock Out Configuration Menu).

2. Press the TARE button. The meter shows one of the following:
* "SP.=E" (To enable setpoint changes) (Default)
* "SP.=D" (To disable setpoint changes)

3. Press the

/NT/GRS button to toggle between available choices.

* "L.3=1" "SETPTS" button will display "V.-03" which is the meter's software version.

2. Press the

/NT/GRS button to toggle between the choices above.

3. Press the MENU button to store the changes.

Note: If your meter does not have the relay option, setpoint menu items above will not be available and SETPTS button will always display the meter's s o f t w a re version. These units will have + O L (overload) or + Open memor indicated by Alarm 1 & 2 LED displays. LEDs can be reset by pressing MENU then RESET button or by Power OFF then ON.
