3. Electrical Connections

Caution: Failure to fully open terminal jaws before removing wire may permanently damage instrument.

Wiring Procedure

1. Remove 0.5 - 0.625 in. (13-16 mm) of insulation from wire end.

2. Press the orange terminal lever downward with a small screwdriver to open terminal jaws.

3. Insert exposed (non-insulated) wire end in terminal hole until it bottoms out.

4. Release orange terminal lever to secure wire in place. Gently pull on each wire to ensure a good connection.

Wiring Removal Procedure

1. Press the orange terminal lever downward with a small screwdriver to open terminal jaws.

2. When fully open, remove wire from terminal.

Wiring Tips :

• Do not route sensor cable in conduit containing AC power wiring - electrical noise may interfere with sensor signal.

• Routing sensor cabling in grounded metal conduit may prevent moisture damage, electrical noise, and mechanical damage.

• Seal cable entry points to prevent moisture damage.

• When placing two wire ends into a single terminal, solder or crimp ends together.

3.3 Open Collector Functions

• Low: Output triggers when process variable is less than setpoint.

• High: Output triggers when process variable is higher than setpoint.

Example: In Low Alarm Mode Operation, the output becomes active when the process drops below the setpoint, and becomes inactive when the process rises above the setpoint plus hysteresis. The opposite is true for High Alarm Mode.

• Off: Disables output pulse.

• Pulse: Outputs a pulse whenever a specified amount of volume has been totalized.

• Frequency: Outputs a pulse whenever the divided number of pulses are input.

Menu Tips

• Right button scrolls to right, from top to bottom row, and allows editing when ">" symbol is shown.

• In CALIBRATE or OPTIONS menus, the transmitter will continue to measure and control outputs. When > is pressed, the input value is held at the last measured process value.

• When sensor is not connected, unit will display CHECK

SENSOR and any output controlled by sensor will be at 3.6 mA or OFF.

Example

To change date, first enter CALIBRATE menu (Press ENTER button for 2 seconds; Press UP, UP, UP, DOWN buttons in sequence)

Once in CALIBRATE menu, press UP button 1 time.
