The current input is protected against current

overload by an internal resettable fuse. The display

may or may not show a fault condition depending

on the nature of the overload. The fuse limits

the current to a safe level when it detects a fault

condition, and automatically resets itself when the

fault condition is removed.

Installation

Panel Mounting Instructions

• Prepare a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout -

3.622" x 1.772" (92 mm x 45 mm). Refer to

Figure 1. 1/8 DIN Panel Cutout Dimensions

below for more details.

• Clearance: allow at least 4.0" (102 mm) behind

the panel for wiring.

• Panel thickness: 0.04" - 0.25" (1.0 mm - 6.4 mm).

Recommended minimum panel thickness to

maintain Type 4X rating: 0.06" (1.5 mm) steel

panel, 0.16" (4.1 mm) plastic panel.

• Remove the two mounting brackets provided

with the meter (back-off the two screws so

that there is ¼" (6.4 mm) or less through the

bracket. Slide the bracket toward the front of

the case and remove).

• Insert meter into the panel cutout.

• Install mounting brackets and tighten the

screws against the panel. To achieve a proper

seal, tighten the mounting bracket screws

evenly until meter is snug to the panel along its

short side. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN, as the

rear of the panel may be damaged.

Program and Scale

4-20 mA Input

These instructions illustrate how to program the

Sabre meter to accept a 4-20 mA input and scale

it to display the desired range. When the input to

the meter is 4 mA, it displays the low end of the

programmed display range. When the input is

20 mA, it displays the high end of the programmed

display range.

For example: If the meter were used to display the

level of a 100 foot tall tank, the transmitter should

send a 4 mA signal when the tank is empty and

a 20 mA signal when the tank is full. The meter

should be programmed to interpret these inputs on

a display range of 0.0-100.0, so that at 4 mA the

meter will display 0.0 and at 20 mA the meter will

display 100.0.

Setup Password

Protection

The Sabre meter can be protected against

unauthorized changes with the use of a user

programmable password. These steps illustrate how to

set up a password.

Press to accept

the new password. The

meter will display LoCd

(locked) for 3 seconds.

Use the and

buttons to change the

password.

Press until the PASS

(Password) menu is

displayed, press to

access and press

again to acknowledge that the meter is unlocked.

Press to enter

Programming Mode.

Note: In order to unlock the meter once it has been locked,

repeat these steps and enter the password. This will remove

the password and allow programming of the meter. For more

information, please consult the instruction manual.

Forgot the Password?

The password may be disabled by the following

procedure:

1. Note display reading prior to pressing the Menu

button. Ignore decimal point and sign.

2. Access the Password menu, add 2 to the noted

reading and enter that number as the password

(e.g. display reading = -1.23, password = 0125).
