PREFACE Manual Objectives This manual shows you how to set up and use the Programmable Digital Meter.
NOTE: provides you with information that is important to successfully setup and use the Programmable Digital Meter. CAUTION or WARNING: tells you about the risk of electric shock. CAUTION, WARNING or IMPORTANT: tells you of circumstances or practices that can affect the meter’s functionality and must refer to accompanying documents. TIP: provides you helpful hints. 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Unpacking Remove the Packing List and verify that all equipment has been received.
• Use electrical wires with adequate size to handle mechanical strain and power requirements. Install without exposing bare wire outside the connector to minimize electrical shock hazards. EMC Considerations • Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables. • Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit. • Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables. • Install Ferrite Bead (s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems persist.

4.0 CONFIGURING THE METER Refer to Table 6-1 for a summary list of menu configuration. For first-time users: Refer to the QuickStart Manual for basic operation and set-up instructions. 4.1 Selecting the Input Type To select your appropriate input type signal, follow these steps: Before proceeding, set the input DIP switch settings at the back of your meter. (Refer to Table 2-3). 1. Press the MENU button. The meter shows . 2. Press the X/TARE button.
• ‘C’ switch should be closed or down. • ‘X’ switch is used to control excitation (refer to Table 2-3 to determine correct position of these switches). Once DIP switches have been positioned correctly, apply power. Proceed to the and set R2 equal to the value in the right hand column of the chart. (Reading Configuration) Table 4-1 Range Selection DIP Switch Positions for Regular Voltage Input 12345678 XCOOOXXC 0 – 10 V 0–5V 0–3V 0–2V 0–1V 12345678 XCOOCXXC ±5 V ±5 V ±3 V ±2 V ±1 V RD.
