### Mode 0 Channel Inputs

Display with 4 Set Points With Standard display or Center point mode selected, the setpoints are indicated by an ON segment outside the bar display area and by an OFF segment inside the bar display area.

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.

Horizontal and Reverse Mounting with Custom Face Plate Installed

Horizontal or Reverse Mounting Meters can be mounted horizontally in the panel and for those applications that require an opposite growth of the bar, the meter can be vertically or horizontally mounted upside down

Mode 3 Hysteresis Band between SP1 & SP2 This mode enables the Hysteresis function. In order for Hysteresis to function, SP2 must be set to a value greater than SP1, and SP2 should be selected as High (h) Setpoint (See page 7). When these conditions are met, and Mode 3 is selected, then a Hysteresis band is created for the

SP1 relay, with the upper limit of SP2 and the lower limit of SP1. SP2 relay continues to operate normally.

For a tank filling application SP1 is set to a Low (L) Setpoint. SP1 relay can control a pump that fills the tank With Mode 3 selected, SP1 relay activates for inputs less than the SP1 level. Once activated, SP1 relay will stay ON until the tank is filled to the SP2 level.

For a tank emptying application SP1 is set to a High (h) Setpoint. SP1 can control a pump that empties the tank. With Mode 3 selected, SP1 relay activates for inputs greater than the SP2 level. Once activated, SP1 relay will stay ON until the tank is emptied to the SP1 level.

### 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.

### Standard Display Mode Calibration Procedure

Standard or Center Zero Display Mode may be selected, depending on the Operating Mode selected. If the standard display mode is not already selected open the meter case as showing on page 4 and move the jumper clips on the display mode select header to the OFF position.

STEP A REVIEW THE INPuT MODuLE STATuS

1) See pages 12-14 for information on input modules that may be used with

this meter.

2) Confirm that the correct range and input is selected on the input signal con-

ditioning module.

Note: When undertaking an initial set up and primary scaling and calibration of the meter it is best to start with a reset of the scaling.

STEP B RESET THE SCALINg

1)Apply power to the meter and press the ZERO and SPAN buttons simultaneously for

2 seconds. This erases any previously memorized scalings, and resets the scaling to the factory default, of approximately zero to full scale, for an input, that is 0 to 100% of the range selected on the input signal conditioner.

Reset the scaling

to the default value on by pressing

the Zero and

Span buttons

simultaneously

for 2 secs.

Page 5

### Standard Display Mode Calibration Procedure Continued

Note: To calibrate the bargraph you must be able to input two input signals. Usually the minimum input (LO Input) and the maximum input (HI Input) signals are used for optimum accuracy. However a scaling can be accomplished with any two signals that are higher or lower than each other by more than 5% of fullscale and are not greater than +2.1VDC or less than -1.05VDC.

STEP C 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.

STEP D 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 could be higher or lower than the position adjusted in Step 2. The scaling for an input of 4 to 20mA is now complete.

One Point Quickset Rescaling and Calibration Procedure

ONE POINT RECALIBRATION

As explained earlier, the FL-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 FL-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 FL-B101Q has now been recalibrated to read zero to fullscale

for a 0 to 20 mA input.

### Center Zero Mode Scaling For Bipolar Inputs

The procedure for scaling the bar graph for bipolar signals is very simple. If say CH1 has to be scaled for -1V to +1V, the steps are as follows:

STEP A SELECT THE CENTER ZERO DISPLAY MODE FOR CH1

1) Following the instructions on page 4, remove the meter from the case.

2) Select the Center Zero Mode for CH1 by repositioning the jumper clip on the Center

Zero Display Mode Select Header.

CH1

CH2

STEP B REVIEW THE INPuT MODuLE STATuS

1) See pages 15 21 for information on input modules that may be use with this

meter.

2) Only the IDP4 Universal Input module can be used for dual inputs and information

on this module can be found on page 15.

3) Confirm that the correct range and input is selected on the input signal conditioning

module.

Note: When undertaking an initial set up and primary scaling and calibration of the meter it is best to start with a reset of the scaling.

STEP C RESET THE SCALINg ON CHANNEL ONE

1) Apply power to the meter and press the CH1 ZERO and CH1 SPAN buttons

simultaneously for 2 seconds. This erases any previously memorized scalings, and resets the scaling to the factory default, of approximately zero to full scale, for an input, that is 0 to 100% of the range selected on the input signal conditioner.

Page 6

### Center Zero Mode Scaling For Bipolar Inputs continued

STEP D SET THE LOW INPuT SIgNAL READINg ON THE BAR

1) Apply the LO input signal (-1V in this example) to the CH1 input pins.

2) Using the CH1 ZERO button adjust the bar down to the required position. In this

case, 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 CH1 input pins.

2) Using the CH1 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 of CH1 for an input of -1V to +1V is now complete.

Setpoint Adjust

The bargraph has the option to have up to 4 setpoints (two 9A Form C relays and two 4A Form A relays) installed. Each relay may be set to activate either above or below its setpoint by inserting jumper clips on the Relay Activation header which is located on the Display Driver Board. See the layout diagram on Page 4 for the exact location. The steps to setup the setpoints are as follows:

1) SELECT THE RELAY ACTIVATION MODE FOR EACH INSTALLED RELAY

Make sure that the required relays have been installed in the meter. Refer to the component layout on Page 11 for relay positions. If a jumper clip is installed in a specific relay position on the Relay Activation Mode Header, that relay will activate when the display bar is lower that the programmed setpoint. If no jumper clip is installed in a specific relay position on the Relay Activation Mode Header, that relay will activate when the display bar is equal to or higher that the programmed setpoint. The Diagrams below show some of the various possibilities for relay activation.

Default

SP1, SP2, SP3, and SP4 all activate when input is equal to or higher than set point.

SP2 and SP4 activate when input is lower than set point. SP1 and SP3 activate when input is equal to or higher than set point.

SP2 activate when input is lower than set point. SP1, SP3 and SP4 activate when input is equal to or higher than set point.

SP1 and SP3 activate when input is lower than set point. SP2 and SP4 activate when input is equal to or higher than set point.

SP1, SP2, SP3, and SP4 all activate when input is lower than set point.

SP1 and SP2 activate when input is lower than set point. SP3 and SP4 activate when input is equal to or higher than set point.

### Setpoint Adjust continued

2) ADJuST THE SETPOINT FOR EACH RELAY

The setpoint for each relay is set by the front panel buttons marked SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4. When a front panel button is pressed and held down, the associated setpoint is directly changed. The direction of change will be either up or down, as indicated by the UP and DOWN indicator LEDs. After the indicator LED lights up there is a 0.5 second delay before any change occurs. To reverse the direction of change, release the button and then press down again. As there are no menus or sub-menus to navigate, the programming and setup is quick and easy.

Setpoints are indicated on the bar display by an ON segment if the bar is below the setpoint and with an OFF segment if the bar display is above the setpoint.

### Setting the Colors (For CHT or CVT Center Bar display options only)

To comply with the latest safety requirements, the tri-color bargraph is designed like a traffic light, to display either red, orange or green, but only one color at a time. When the bar reaches a selected color change point, the entire bar will change to the color designated for that zone. This eliminates any ambiguity as to the signal status, especially just after transitioning to a new zone.

However, if two or more setpoints with differently specified colors are positioned at the same set point value, the color specified for the set point with the highest identifying number will be displayed. When set points are set to the same value, the SP4 color overrides the SP3 color, the SP3 color overrides the SP2 color, and the SP2 color overrides the SP1 color.

STEP A ENTER COLOR SET MODE Hold down ALL four setpoint buttons (SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4) and apply power to the meter. The meter will light up in the Color Set Mode. Release all the setpoint buttons.

STEP B SELECT COLOR FOR BAR ABOVE SETPOINT 1 Hold down the SP1 button. The color of the bar segments below SP1 will cycle between red,

green and orange. Release the SP1 button when the bar is the required color. Now

Whenever the bar is above the SP1 level it will be this color. When the bar is below the SP1

level it will always be red.

STEP C SELECT COLOR FOR BAR ABOVE SETPOINT 2 Hold down the SP2 button. The color of the bar segments below SP2 will cycle between red,

green and orange. Release the SP2 button when the bar is the required color. Now

whenever the bar is above the SP2 level it will be this color.

STEP D SELECT COLOR FOR BAR ABOVE SETPOINT 3 Hold down the SP3 button. The color of the bar segments below SP3 will cycle between red,

green and orange. Release the SP3 button when the bar is the required color. Now

whenever the bar is above the SP3 level it will be this color.

STEP E SELECT COLOR FOR BAR ABOVE SETPOINT 4 Hold down the SP4 button. The color of the bar segments below SP4 will cycle between red,

green and orange. Release the SP4 button when the bar is the required color. Now

whenever the bar is above the SP4 level it will be this color.

STEP F EXIT COLOR SET MODE

Turn off the power to the meter for 5 seconds and then re apply the power. The bargraph will now work with the programmed colors.

Page 8

### 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 five steps to obtain an Analog Output of 4mA to 20mA for an input of 0 to 10V are:

STEP A ACCESS THE ANALOg CALIBRATION MODE

1) Confirm the internal analog output module is installed and that the required

voltage or current output option is selected.

2) Turn OFF the power to the bargraph.

3) Hold down the ZERO and SPAN buttons simultaneously and re-power the bargraph. The ZERO button will now function as the LO button and the SPAN button will now function as the HI button for calibrating the Analog Output.

STEP B 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.

STEP C 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).

Turn Power ON

while holding

down the Zero

and Span Buttons

simultaneously

Reset the analog

output scaling by

pressing the LO (zero) and HI (span) buttons simultaneously

for 2 secs.

Apply 0 V to the Input Signal Pins

Adjust the Analog

output to 4.00mA with the LO (zero) button

Apply 10 V to the Input Signal Pins

STEP D 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 C, 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.

Adjust the Analog

output to 20.00mA with the HI (span) button

STEP E EXIT THE ANALOg OuTPuT CALIBRATION MODE

1) Turn OFF the power to the bargraph 2) Re-power the bargraph. The two buttons will now return to their original

function of ZERO and SPAN.

3) Calibration is now complete and the bar is scaled for a 0 to 10V input to

produce an analog output of 4 to 20mA.

Turn Power OFF

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.

Pre-calibrated 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. See Input Module Component Glossary on page 16. Also see Two Point Digital Calibration and Digital Calibration on page 5.

Unless otherwise specified Texmate will ship all modules pre-calibrated with factory preselected ranges and/or scalings as shown in BOLD type. Other pre-calibrated 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

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

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

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

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

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.

### 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.

24V DC Output Header On some modules this header enables a 24V DC 25mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin 2.

INPUT RANGE Header

Range values are marked on the PCB. Typically two to four 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.

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 full scale (-100 to +100 counts).

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 Digital Display span from 1999 counts to 001 (one count).

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 OFFSET RANGE Header When provided, this three position header increases the ZERO pots capability to offset the input signal, to 25% of the digital display span. For example a Negative offset enables a 1 to 5V 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).

Zero Offset Range Header

### 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.
