1.5 To access the instrument

To open the housing, remove the screws from the back

cover. With each screw there is a metal washer and a plasc

washer. Once the screws are out, remove the back cover.

The gure below shows the instrument internal structure for

a LDB-26 format. It shows the locaon of the 3 slots for opon

-

al output and control modules, the power terminal and the

input signal terminal.

To close the instrument, place the back cover, the screws,

the metal washer and the plasc washer. The plasc washer

is in contact with the back cover. Conrm that the screws are

correctly turning inside the internal female screws.

To ensure a correct IP65 protecon ghten the back cover

screws with a strength between 30 and 40 Ncm, with the

help of a dynamometer screwdriver.

1.6 Modular system

Large format meters are designed with an

internal modular architecture. The output and control

modules are independent and can be installed by accessing

the internal circuits of the instrument, and connecng the

module to the connecon jumpers of the selected slot.

Each module is provided with a cable e to x the

module to the e base. The input signal modules denes the

instrument funcon and are exchangeable, switching a

temperature meter to an impulse counter only by replacing

the input signal module.

See secon 2. for informaon regarding the output and

control opons available

To install an output and control module

(1) insert the ‘module pins’ into the

‘connecon jumpers’ in one of the

free slots

(2) place the ‘cable e’ into the ‘e

base’ and embrace the ‘module’

‘Password’ (‘PASS’) funcon. While operang the

‘conguraon menu’, the alarm status is ‘hold’ to the

status it had before accessing the menu, and the output and

control modules remain in ‘error’ state. When leaving the

‘conguraon menu’, the instrument applies a system

reset, followed by a brief disconnecon of the alarms and the

output and control modules. Funconality is then recovered.

For a detailed explanaon on the ‘conguraon menu’

see the following secons, and for a full view of the

‘conguraon menu’ see secon 1.15.

‘Fast access’ menu

The ‘fast access’ menu is an operator congurable menu,

providing fast and direct access to the most usual funcons

of the instrument with a single key pad stroke. Press key ‘UP’

(5) to access this menu.

See secon 1.13.6 for a list of selectable funcons for the

‘fast access’ menu in this instrument. The ‘Password’ (‘PASS’)

funcon does not block access to this menu. Accessing and

modifying parameters in the ‘fast access’ menu does not

interfere with the normal funconality of the instrument,

and it does not generate any system reset when validang

the changes.

Operang with the front keypad inside the menus

Key ‘SQ’ (<) - press the ‘SQ’ (<) key for 1 second to

access the ‘conguraon menu’. Inside the menu, the

‘SQ’ (<) key acts as an ‘ENTER’. It enters into the menu opon

selected, and when entering a numerical value, it validates the

number.

Key ‘UP’ (5) - press the ‘UP’ (5) key to access the ‘fast

access’ menu. Inside the menu,the ‘UP’ (5) key sequen-

ally moves through the available parameters and menu

entries. When entering a numerical value, it modies the digit

selected by increasing its value to 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

1.13 Conguraon

1.13.1 How to operate the menus

Key ‘LE’ (3) - press the ‘LE’ (3) key to acvate the cong-

ured special funcons associated to this key. Inside the menu,

the ‘LE’ (5) acts as an ‘ESCAPE’. It leaves the selected menu

level and eventually, by leaving all menu levels, it leaves

from the conguraon menu. Then changes are applied and

the instrument is back to normal funcon. When entering a

numerical value, it selects the acve digit, and the value is

then modied by key ‘UP’ (5).

‘Rollback’

Aer 30 seconds without interacon from the operator, the

instrument will rollback and leave the ‘conguraon menu’

or the ‘fast access’ menu. All changes will be discarded.

Instruments with 4 and 6 digits

The conguraon menus included in this document show

values for a 6 digit instrument. In case of 4 digit instruments,

note that maximum reading values should be 9999 instead

of 999999 to 9999 and minimum reading values should be

-1999 instead of -199999.

1.13.2 Inial set-up

To congure the inial set up of the instrument, select the

sensor that is connected to the instrument, and then cong

-

ure the parameters at the ‘temperature conguraon’ menu.

At the ‘Input’ (‘Inp’) parameter, select the sensor that is

connected to the instrument. Available opons are

Pt100 / RTD with 2 wires, Pt100 / RTD with 3 wires, and

thermocouples J, K, T, E, S, R, N, C, L and X. Thermocouple X

is a linear 10 uV/ ºC signal.

At the ‘Temperature conguraon’ (‘cnF.t’) menu, congure

the following parameters:

• at the ‘Degrees’ (‘dEG’) parameter select ‘ºc’ to read the

temperature in degrees celsius or ‘ºF’ to read in degrees

Fahrenheit.

• at the ‘Resoluon Pt100’ (‘P.rES’) parameter select ‘1º’ to

read the Pt100 / RTD with 1 degree resoluon, or ‘0.1º’ for

tenths of degree resoluon.

• at the ‘Reading oset’ (‘oFFS’) parameter introduce

a number of counts that will be directly added to the

reading. This value applies both to the Pt100 \ RTD and

thermocouples. This oset allows to easily compensate

for errors due to dierent types of probes, which can not

be corrected by any other means. Values accepted from

-100 to 100 counts of display.

• at the ‘Thermoc. CJC’ (‘t.cJc’) parameter acvate o

deacvate the automac compensaon of the thermocou-

ple cold juncon. When working with real thermocouples,

compensaon must be set to ‘on’. When working with

electronic thermocouple simulators, it may be necessary

to deacvate the automac compensaon.

• at the ‘on break’ (‘on.bk’) parameter congure the

behavior of the instrument (and thus, the alarm behavior)

in case of sensor break. Select ‘to_h’ to force the reading

to go to high level (overrange), or select ‘to_L’) to force the

reading to low level (underrange).

• at the ‘Alpha’ (‘ALPh’) parameter select the alpha for the

Pt100 / RTD sensor. The two standard industrial values are

‘385’ and ‘390’.

Press ‘SQ’ (<) for 1 second to access the ‘conguraon

menu’. For a descripon on how to operate inside the menus

see secon 1.13.1. For a full vision of the ‘conguraon menu’

1.13.3 Alarms

The instrument manages 3 independent internal alarms,

each one controlling the acvaon of an oponal

relay, transistor or control SSR output. Oponal modules

(see secon 2) are installed at the free slots inside the

instrument (see secon 1.4). LDB-24 and LDB-44 formats

have 2 free slots for output and control modules,

while LDB-26 and LDB-46 formats have 3 free slots

for output and control modules. The instrument has 3

front leds that reect the state of the 3 internal alarms.

These leds are only for local help during installaon,

as they are not appropriate for long distance reading.

Each alarm controls the acvaon of the relay,

transistor or control SSR installed on its associated slot,

and the front led.

• Congurable parameters

Each alarm has several parameters for congura-

on, starng with the usual setpoint, hysteresis and

maximum (alarm acve when reading is higher than set-

point) or minimum (alarm acve when reading is lower than

minimum) alarm types

(see Figure 8)

.

• Acvaon and deacvaon delays

Each alarm can congure independent acvaon and

deacvaon delays. These delays aect the alarm as

a whole, and the delay will aect the front led and the

associated relay.

• Second setpoint

Conguring a second setpoint creates ‘windowed alarms’.

The windowed alarm controls with a single relay output

if the reading is inside or outside the values dened

(see

Figure 9)

.

• Inverted relay

Acvate the ‘inverted relay’ funcon to invert the

acvaon logic of the associated relay.

• ‘Locked alarms’

Acvate the ‘locked alarms’ funcon will force the opera-

tor to interact with the instrument when an alarm has

been acvated. Once acvated, the alarm will remain

locked at acve state, even if the reading returns to a

value below setpoint, unl the operator manually unlocks

the alarms pressing the front key ‘LE’ (or the remote key

‘LE’, see secon 3.1).

To congure the alarm, access the alarm menu (‘ALr1’,

‘ALr2’ or ‘ALr3’) and congure the following parameters :

• at the ‘Acve’ (‘Act’) parameter select ‘on’

• at the ‘Type of alarm’ (‘TypE’) parameter select ‘MAX’

for maximum alarm (acvates when reading is higher

than setpoint), or ‘MIn’ for minimum alarm (acvates

when reading is lower than setpoint).

• at the ‘Setpoint’ (‘SEt’) parameter congure the alarm

acvaon point. Parameter value is accessible through

‘fast access’

(see secon 1.13.6)

.

• at the ‘Hysteresis’ (‘hySt’) parameter select the

hysteresis value. Hysteresis applies to the alarm

deacvaon. Alarm deacvates once the reading is

beyond the setpoint plus the hysteresis value.

Hysteresis prevents relay switching in case of signal

uctuaons close to the setpoint value.

• at the ‘Acvaon delay’ (‘dEL.0’) parameter cong-

ure the delay to apply before the alarm is acvated.

Delay starts to count once the setpoint is reached.

Value from 0.0 to 99.9 seconds.

• at the ‘Deacvaon delay’ (‘dEL.1’) parameter cong-

ure the delay to apply before the alarm is deacvated.

Delay starts to count once the setpoint is reached plus

the hysteresis value. Value from 0.0 to 99.9 seconds.

• to work with ‘windowed alarms’

(see Figure 9)

acvate

‘Setpoint 2’ (‘SEt2’) to ‘on’ and then congure the

desired second setpoint value. Second setpoint must

always be higher in value than the rst setpoint.

• at the ‘Inverted relay’ (‘r.Inv’) parameter select ‘on’ to

invert the acvaon logic of the relay. Relay is inacve

when alarm is acve, and relay is acve when alarm is

inacve.

• at the ‘Locked alarm’ (‘A.Lck’) parameter select ‘on’

to block the automac alarm deacvaon. Alarm

deacvaon must be performed manually, by pressing

the ‘LE’ front buon

(see secon 1.13.8)

1.13.5 Display lters

The available funcons are:

• the ‘Steps’ (‘StEP’) funcon denes the reading to be

done in steps of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 or 50 counts.

Example - selecng a step of 20 congures the reading to

change in steps of 20 counts (‘1420’, ‘1440’, ‘1460’, ...).

• the ‘Memory of maximum’ (‘MAX’) funcon displays the

maximum reading value stored in memory and allows

to reset this value. This parameter is directly accessible

using key ‘UP’ (5) (see secon 1.13.6).

• the ‘Memory of minimum’ (‘MIn’) funcon displays the

minimum reading value stored in memory and allows

to reset this value. This parameter is directly accessible

using key ‘UP’ (5) (see secon 1.13.6).

1.13.6 Fast access

The ‘fast access’ is an operator congurable menu. The

operator can access this menu with a single press of the front

key ‘UP’ (5). The congured menu entries will be accessible.

Eligible parameters to be accessed by this menu are:

• access to the alarm setpoints through the ‘UP’ (5) key

allows to read and modify the values.

• access to the maximum and minimum alarms through

the ‘UP’ (5) key allows to read and reset the values. To

reset the memory values: visualize the value on display,

press the ‘UP’ (5) key, when the ‘rSt’ message appears,

press ‘SQ’ (<) . The instrument will return to the memory

visualizaon. Press the ‘LE’ (3) key to exit his menu.

The ‘fast access’ menu is not aected by the password

funcon. This means that the conguraon menu can be

password blocked, while some congured funcons or

arameters can sll be accessible to the operator through the

‘fast access’ menu.

• Super fast access

If only a single funcon is selected for the ‘fast access’ menu,

pressing the the ‘UP’ (5) key will shortly display the funcon

name and then automacally jump to the funcon value.

1.13.7 ‘on power up’ funcon

The ‘On Power Up’ (‘on.Pu’) funcons allows to dene a

series of acons to acvate when the instrument restarts

aer a power loss. Funcons available are a delay so the

instrument waits a dened me before starng to measure

and control, and the state of the alarms at power up. The

funcons will apply only aer a restart due to power-loss,

they will not apply aer a restart due to changes in congu-

raon.

Delaying the measure and control funcons gives addional

me to elements of the system who are slower, so they can

start completely before the instrument begins to acquire

signal and control the outputs.

While on delay mode, the instrument shows all decimal points

lightened and ashing, all alarms are deacvated, and there

is no signal acquision or communicaons control. When the

delay me is over, the instrument starts its normal funcon

-

ing.

1.13.8 ‘LE’ key

The ‘LE’ (3) key at the front of the instrument can be cong-

ured to acvate several funcons. Only one funcon can be

assigned to the ‘LE’ (3) key. Eligible funcons are the alarm

unlock funcon (see secon 1.13.3).

15

All display funcons are grouped under the ‘Display’ menu.

For more informaon relang the funcons listed below see

secon 1.13.5.

• at the ‘Steps’ (‘StEP’) parameter congure the value for

the steps reading changes.

• the ‘Memory of maximum’ (‘MAX’) and ‘Memory of

minimum’ (‘MIn’) are access to the memory values. To

reset the value, select the ‘rSt’ entry and press ‘SQ’ (<).
