Over View of Display Modes, Scaling Capabilities and Operating Modes

### Standard Display Mode

Standard Scaling

Standard display mode selected and scaled so bar increases as input signal increases from Low to Hi.

Inverse Scaling

Standard display mode selected and scaled so the bar increases as the input signal decreases from Hi to Low.

### Center Zero Display Mode

Bipolar Center Zero

Center point display mode selected and scaled, so the bar increases upward from zero, for increasing positive inputs and downward from zero for increasing negative inputs. When the input is zero, only the center segment will be on.

Halfway Zero Point

Center point display mode selected and scaled, so the bar increases upwards or downwards from the center point, for signals that are greater or less than half the calibrated full scale range respectively.

When the input is equal to half the full scale range, only the center segment will be on.

### Two Point Quickset Scaling and Calibration

Meters with QuICkSeT PROgRAmmINg feature a unique, easy-to-use, two point scaling and calibration system.

Scaling or calibration is accomplished simply, by applying a zero or low input signal and adjusting the bar to the desired reading, using the ZERO button. A higher input signal is then applied, and the bar is adjusted to the desired reading for that input value, using the SPAN button.

ImPORTANT DeTAIlS THAT mAke QuICkSeT PROgRAmmINg eASy TO uSe AND uNDeRSTAND

1. The zero and span buttons are functionally the same, except as follows: The ZERO button can initiate a scaling with input signals from

zero to 95% of fullscale.The Span button can initiate a scaling with input signals from 5% of fullscale to 105% of fullscale.

2. When a Zero or Span button is pressed, the Up or Down indicator LED will immediately light up to show the direction, in which the Bar will move, after a 0.5 second delay. If the button is released and pressed again, the opposite up or down indicator will light up, and 0.5 seconds later the Bar will begin to move in that direction until the button is released. When the bar is being adjusted to zero or fullscale, the bar will automatically stop at the zero or fullscale position, and will not overshoot these positions, even if the button continues to be pressed.

3. While the bar is being adjusted, a new offset and scale factor is continuously being calculated. At the moment the button is released, and the scaling is accepted, the calculation data is memorized and implemented. The Scaling calculation is based on the new position of the Bar, the input signal being applied at that moment, and the previously memorized position of the Bar and the input signal that was being applied, when the other button was last released.

4. Positive and negative signals maybe integrated into a two point scaling. However when either a ZERO or SPAN button is pressed the input signal being applied, must be more than 5% higher or lower than the previously memorized value of the input signal, that was being applied when the other button was last released. If not, the bar will flash, the scaling will not be accepted, and the previous scaling will still be retained in memory.

5. Because of the requirement, that a new scaling input signal must be 5% higher or lower than the previously stored value, it can sometimes be difficult to implement a desired scaling, particularly when using a calibrator that only has fixed output values. In this case Reset the Scaling by pressing the ZERO and SPAN buttons simultaneously for two seconds. Both scaling memories will be erased and an internal default scale factor will be loaded. This provides a display of zero to fullscale on the bar for an input of approximately 0 to 100% of the range selected on the input signal conditioning module. After Resetting the Scaling a new calibration, using either button, can be implemented with new input signal values. It is good practice to always use the Zero button for lower input signals and the Span button for higher input signals, even when the bar display scale is inversed.

6. The larger the difference between two points used for calibration, the better the accuracy. However if the difference is too high, and

the output from the input signal conditioning module is greater than +2.1VDC, or less than -1.05VDC, the bar will flash over range. The calibration will not then be accepted and, the previous scaling will still be retained in memory. In this case, either a lower input signal must be used, or a higher range on the input module should be selected to recalibrate the meter.

Note: Most input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meters scale factor is set to read zero with a zero input (shorted input), and to read 10 Bars fullscale with a 2.000 V input, any pre-calibrated signal conditioner with an output that does not exceed 1 V to + 2 V, will read correctly in the meter without any further calibration.

Two Point Quickset Scaling and Calibration Procedure (continued) Standard Display Mode Calibration Procedure Note: Calibrating the bargraph requires two input signals. Using the minimum input (LO Input) and maximum input (HI Input) signals are recommended for optimal accuracy.

However, scaling can be accomplished with any two signals that are higher or lower than each other by more than 5% of the full scale and are not greater than +2.1VDC or less than -1.05VDC.

See page 10-12 for information on input modules that may be used with this meter.

Confirm that the correct range and input is selected on the input signal conditioning module.

STeP A SeT THe lOW INPuT SIgNAl ReADINg ON THe BAR

1) Apply the LO input signal (4ma in this example) to the input pins.

2) Using the ZERO button adjust the bar down to the required position.

Warning: Do not press the Span button when a low signal is applied or the Zero button when a high signal is applied. Doing so will tamper with the calibration process and necessitate resetting and recalibrating the meter.

If erroneous signals or buttons are pressed, tampering with the calibration, please perform the "Reset Scaling and Calibration " procedure below, then repeat steps A and B.

STeP B SeT THe HIgH INPuT SIgNAl ReADINg ON THe BAR

1) Apply the high input signal (20mA in this example) to the input pins.

Using the SPAN button, adjust the bar to the required position.

This position can be higher or lower than the position adjusted in Step 2. The scaling for a 4 to 20mA input is now complete.

One Point Quickset Rescaling and Calibration Procedure ONe POINT ReCAlIBRATION

As explained earlier, the FX-B101Q bargraph is calibrated using two point calibration. Once a bargraph is calibrated, the low end of the range may be then recalibrated without affecting the calibration of the high end, and vice versa.

For example, take an FX-B101Q that has been calibrated to read zero to full scale for an input of 4 to 20mA. If now the scaling has to be changed to read zero to full scale for an input of 0 to 20mA, only the low (4 mA) end needs to be recalibrated. The high (20 mA) end of the scaling is left untouched, and so does not change. The following one point recalibration procedure is used for this purpose.

STeP A ReCAlIBRATe THe lOW INPuT SIgNAl ReADINg ON THe BAR

1) Apply the LO input signal (0ma in this example) to the input pins.

The first segment will flash, indicating an under range condition.

2) Using the ZERO button adjust the bar up to the required position.

3) The FX-B101Q has now been recalibrated to read zero to full scale for a 0 to 20 mA input.

all the bar segments from mid point down to the bottom will be ON.

STeP e SeT THe HIgH INPuT SIgNAl ReADINg ON THe BAR

1) Apply the high input signal (+1V in this example) to the input pins.

2) Using the SPAN button adjust the bar to the required position. This position could be higher or lower than the position adjusted in Step 2. In this case, all the bar segments from mid point up to the top will be ON.

3) The scaling for an input of -1V to +1V is now complete.

### Analog Output Scaling and Calibration

When the optional analog output module is installed, an independently calibrated 16 bit isolated, voltage or current analog output is available. The analog signal is independently scaled to the input signal and not to the bargraph display. It is important to note that the Analog Output is completely independently of the bargraph display. This means for example that the bargraph display may be scaled to go from zero to full scale as the input changes from 0 to 5V, while at the same time, the analog output is scaled to go from 4 to 20mA as the input changes from 2 to 3V. Rescaling the bargraph or the analog output will not affect the scaling of the other.

To calibrate the Analog Output you must be able to input two input signals. Usually the minimum input (LO Input) and the maximum (HI Input) signals are used for maximum accuracy.

For example: the three steps to obtain an Analog Output of 4mA to 20mA for an input of

0 to 10V are:

STeP A CAlIBRATe ANAlOg OuTPuT FOR lO SIgNAl

1) Apply the low input signal (0V in this example) to the meter.

2) Connect an external multimeter to the analog output pins (Pins 17 and 18).

3) Using the LO button adjust the analog output as measured on the external multimeter to be the required value. (4mA in this example). When the LO button is pressed, the UP or DOWN indicator LED shows the direction of change. To reverse the direction of change release the LO button and press down again. Initially the output changes very slowly, but speeds up as the LO button remains pressed down. The analog output for a low input can be set in this step to any value in the range of 0 to 20mA or 0 to 10V ( if the voltage output option is selected).

Apply 0 V

to the Input

Signal Pins

Adjust the Analog

output to 4.00mA

Warning: Do not press the Hi button when a low signal is applied or the Lo button when a high signal is applied. Doing so will tamper with the analog output calibration process and necessitate resetting and recalibrating the Analog Output.

If erroneous signals or buttons are pressed, tampering with the analog output calibration, please perform the "Reset Analog output Scaling and Clibration" procedure below, then repeat steps A and B.

STeP B CAlIBRATe ANAlOg OuTPuT FOR HI SIgNAl

1) Next apply the high input signal (10V in this example) to the meter.

2) Using the HI button, adjust the analog output as measured on the external multimeter to be the required value. (20mA in this example). When the HI button is pressed the UP or DOWN indicator LED shows the direction of change. Release the HI button and press again to reverse the direction of change. Initially the output changes very slowly, but speeds up as the HI button continues to remain pressed. This output may be higher or lower than the value set in Step 2, and may be any value in the range of 0 to 20mA or 0 to10V. This allows the easy reversal of analog output that is required in some applications.

### Reset Analog Output Scaling and Calibration

ReSeT THe ANAlOg OuTPuT SCAlINg

1) Press the LO and HI buttons simultaneously and hold them down for 2 seconds. This will reset the analog output scaling to the default value. The default analog output scaling is approximately 0 to 20mA (0 to 10V if voltage output option is selected) for an input that is 0 to 100% of the range selected on the input signal conditioner.

### I-Series Input Signal Conditioning Modules

Many additional input modules are available and others are constantly being developed. Check with your local distributor or www.texmate. com for updated information.

Precalibrated I-Series input modules, that have span or zero potentiometers, can be interchanged between any I-Series compatible meter, without recalibration, because all of the analog scaling and reference circuitry is self-contained within the module. Where appropriate, all the standard ranges shown are designed to be header selectable by the user, and Texmate's unique SPAN ADJUST Header facilitates scaling to almost any required engineering unit.

Unless otherwise specified Texmate will ship all modules precalibrated with factory preselected ranges and/or scalings as shown in BOlD type. Other precalibrated standard ranges or custom ranges may be ordered. Factory installed custom scaling and other custom options are also available (see Ordering Information, Special Options on last page).

### Installation Guidelines

### Installation

1. Install and wire meter per local applicable codes/regulations, the particular application, and good installation practices.

2. Install meter in a location that does not exceed the maximum operating temperature and that provides good air circulation.

3. Separate input/output leads from power lines to protect the meter from external noise. Input/output leads should be routed as far away as possible from contactors, control relays, transformers and other noisy components. Shielding cables for input/output leads is recommended with shield connection to earth ground near the meter preferred.

4. A circuit breaker or disconnect switch is required to disconnect power to the meter. The breaker/switch should be in close proximity to the meter and marked as the disconnecting device for the meter or meter circuit.

The circuit breaker or wall switch must be rated for the applied voltage (e.g., 120VAC or 240VAC) and current appropriate for the electrical application (e.g., 15A or 20A).

5. See Case Dimensions section for panel cutout information.

6. See Connector Pinouts section for wiring.

7. Use 28-12 AWG wiring, minimum 90 C (HH) temperature rating. Strip wire approximately 0.3 in. (7-8 mm).

8. Recommended torque on all terminal plug screws is 4.5 lb-in (0.51 N-m).

### Custom Face Plates and Scales

Custom face plates have a non-recurring artwork charge. A serial number is then assigned to each artwork, to facilitate re-ordering. We prefer custom logos and special artwork to be supplied in an Illustrator or Photoshop file format.

Small Run or One-Off custom face plates incur an installation charge, and are generally printed on a special plastic film, which is then laminated to custom faceplate blanks as required.

Large Run (300 pieces min): custom face plates are production silk screened, issued a part number, and held in stock for free installation as required by customer orders.

### Input Module Component Glossary

### Dual input modules, and those modules exclusively compatible with the Leopard or

### Tiger Families, do not have zero and span adjustments. These modules are scaled

### and calibrated using the internal software functions of each individual meter.

Input and Output Pins On most modules Pin 1 is the Signal High input and Pin 3 is the Signal Low input. Typically Pin 2 is used for Excitation Voltage output.

24 V DC Output for 4-20 mA Header On some modules this header enables a 24 V DC 25 mA

(max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin

2 that can power most 4-20 mA process loop sensors.

INPUT RANGE Headers

Range values are marked on the PCB. Typically two to eight positions are provided, which are selected with either a single or multiple jumper clip. When provided, a custom range position is only functional when the option has been factory installed.

SPAN Potentiometer (Pot)

If provided, the 15 turn SPAN pot is always on the right side (as viewed from the rear of the meter).

Typical adjustment is 20% of the input signal range.

SPAN ADJUST Header

This unique five-position header expands the adjustment range of the SPAN pot into five equal 20% steps, across 100% of the input Signal Span. Any input Signal Span can then be precisely scaled down to provide any required Display span from full scale to the smallest viewable unit.

Function Select Headers

On some modules various functions such as Amps and Volts, 4 wire and 6 wire, or cold junction compensation are selected by header positions that are marked on the PCB.

Excitation Output Select Headers When excitation outputs are provided, they are typically 5 V DC max 30 mA, 10 V DC max 30 mA (300 or higher resistance) or external supply. They are selected by either a single or multiple jumper clip.

ZERO Potentiometer (Pot)

If provided, the ZERO pot is always to the left of the SPAN pot (as viewed from the rear of the meter).

Typically it enables the input signal to be offset 5% of the full scale display span.

ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header When provided, this three position header increases the ZERO pots capability to offset the input signal, by 25% of the full scale display span. For example a Negative offset enables a 1 to 5 V input to display 0 to full scale. The user can select negative offset, positive offset, or no offset (ZERO pot disabled for two step non-interactive span and offset calibration).

SPAN RANGE Header

When this header is provided it works in conjunction with the SPAN ADJUST Header by splitting its adjustment range into a Hi and a Lo range. This has the effect of dividing the adjustment range of the SPAN pot into ten equal 10% steps across 100% of the input Signal Span.

ZERO ADJUST Header

When this header is provided, it works in conjunction with the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header, and expands the ZERO pots offset capability into five equal negative steps or five equal positive steps. This enables virtually any degree of input signal offset required to display any desired engineering unit of measure.

### Input Module Analog Calibration Procedures

### Tiger, Leopard and Q-Series Lynx meters have software calibration and scaling functions that

### can expand or be used in conjunction with the analog capabilities of any compatible modules.

Note: I-Series modules with analog calibration and scaling capability can be interchanged between any compatible meter without recalibration. However, meters that also have software scaling and calibration capabilities such as meters in the Leopard and Tiger families or Lynx

Q-Series (Quickset programming), must have their software scaling set to unity gain.

Basic standard range calibration of direct reading modules that utilize either Auto Zero or a ZERO pot, an INPUT RANGE Header and or a SPAN pot.

1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, reposition the jumper

clip to select the desired input signal range.

2. Apply a zero input or short the input pins. The display will auto zero, or if the module has a ZERO pot, it should be adjusted until the display reads zero.

3 Apply a known input signal that is at least 20% of the full scale input range and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads the exact input value. The Lynx family of Q meters can accept negative signals also, and may be scaled for inputs from -50% to +100% of the range selected on the input signal conditioning module.

Wide range scaling, in engineering units not requiring offsets, with modules that utilize auto-zero or a ZERO pot, a SPAN RANGE Header and or a SPAN ADJUST Header.

Texmates unique SPAN ADJUST and SPAN RANGE Headers provide the circuit equivalent of an ultra-precision one megohm 75 or 150 turn potentiometer that can infinitely scale down any Input Signal SPAN to provide any Display Span from full scale to the smallest viewable unit.

If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Display Span (digital counts or bargraph segments) is to be larger than the directly measured value of the input Signal Span, then the next lower range on the INPUT RANGE Header should be selected. The resulting over range Signal Span is then scaled down, by selecting the position of the SPAN RANGE Header and or the SPAN ADJUST Header, which will reduce the input Signal Span to a percentage, that the required Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.

example A: Using a FX-B101Q bargraph meter

Input signal 0 to 10 V to read zero to full scale.

Signal Span = 10 V, Display Span = 100 segments

1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. The standard direct scaling will provide a display of 100 segments with an input of only

2 V which is (210) =20% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.

2 To scale down the Signal Span to 20% select the 20% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 1) or if the module has a SPAN RANGE Header, select (LO Range) and 20% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).

3 Apply a zero input or short the input pins. The display will auto zero, or if the module has a ZERO pot, it should be adjusted until the display reads zero.

4 Apply 10 V and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads full

scale.

Large offset scaling and calibration of process signal inputs with modules that utilize ZERO ADJUST Headers and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Headers.

Texmates unique ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header enables the use of a simple two step scaling and calibration procedure for those process signals that require large offsets. This eliminates the back and forth interaction, between zero and span settings, that is often required to calibrate less finely engineered products.

The first step is to set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (No Offset) and scale down the Input Signal Span to a percentage that will enable calibration with the SPAN pot to reach the required Display Span.

The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset so that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Display Span to produce the required display reading.

example B: Using a FX-B101Q Bargraph meter.

Input signal 1 to 5 V to read zero to full scale.

Signal Span = 4 V, Display Span = 100 segments

1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a display of 101 segments for an input of 2 V which is (2 4) = 50% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 50% select the next higher 60% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 3).

2 If the module is a Process Input 1-5 V DC type, select the (Hi Range) position on the SPAN RANGE Header and the 100% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 5, max increase).

This will provide a display of 101 segments for an input of 4 V which is 100% of the examples 4 V Signal Span.

3 Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (no offset). Apply 1 V and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads 25 segments. A 4 V input would then read 100 segments.

4 Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the negative offset position. If the module has a ZERO ADJUST Header select the position that will provide a negative offset of 25 segments. Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads zero. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads full scale.

example C: Using a FX-B101Q Bargraph meter

Input signal 4 to 20 mA to read zero to full scale

Signal Span = 16 mA, Display Span = 100 segments

1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is

0 to 20 mA for a full scale Display Span of 0 to 100 segments.

2 Select the (Lo Range) Position on the Span Range Header and the 70% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).

3 Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (no offset). Apply 4 mA and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads

25 segments. A 16 mA input would then read 100 segments.

4 Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the positive offset position. If the module has a ZERO ADJUST Header select the position that will provide a negative offset of 25 segments. Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads zero. Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads full scale.

### Hinged Clear Lockable Polycarbonate NEMA 4X Splash Proof Cover

This rugged, impact resistant, clear lens cover is designed to be dust and water proof to NEMA 4 and IP65 standards. The lens cover consists of a base and cover with a cam hinge and key-lock locking device.

An O-ring, or neoprene gasket forms a seal between the base and the panel. When opened, a cam hinge prevents the cover from closing until pushed closed.

The cover has a tapered recess that, when closed, forms a capillary seal with a tapered ridge on the base. A capillary seal is created when capillary action causes a small amount of water to be drawn in between the two surfaces producing a water tight film around the sealing area.

For those applications, such as food processing, where fluid residues are unacceptable, apply a light coating of clear silicone grease, or other approved sealant to the mating grove to prevent any ingress of liquid and enable the cover to withstand steam cleaning.

Turning the key-lock tightens the cover to the base, ensuring seal integrity. A safety catch keeps the cover closed even when the key is turned to the open position and removed. The keyhole can also be used to attach a safety seal clip, preventing unauthorized opening.
