### features for monitoring, measurement, control and communication applications.

### General Features

The Tiger 320 Operating System supports an easy to use PC based Configuration Utility Program, which can be downloaded FREE from the web, and programming from front panel buttons.

The T Version supports custom macro programs that can be easily produced with the Tiger 320 Macro Development System (available FREE on the web). The Development System enables programs to be written in BASIC, which can utilize any combination of the hundreds of functions and thousands of registers embedded in the Tiger 320 Operating System.

Red, green, or superbright red 7-segment, high LEDs with

full support for seven segment alphanumeric text.

Brightness control of LED display from front panel buttons.

0 segment red, green or tricolor bargraph that can display the signal from any of four channels or the result of a processed input signal.

Modular construction with more than 20 interchangeable input signal conditioners and more than 25 interchangeable I/O modules.

Up to 4 input channels with cross channel math for multi-

channel processing.

For applications where sensor excitation is required, modules are provided with 5V, 0V or 24 V DC voltage outputs.

On demand tare, calibration and compensation can be initi-

ated by the front panel program button.

Serial output options include RS-232, RS-485, ModBus or

direct meter-to-meter communications.

Single or dual 6-bit Isolated Analog Outputs. Programmable 0~4 to 20mA or 0 to 0V for retransmission, 4-20mA loops to drive valve actuators, remote controllers & displays, multiloop feedback and PID output. Scalable from count to full scale.

Dual independent totalizers to integrate input signals.

6 super smart, independently programmable setpoints with 8 selectable functions, including latching, deviation, hysteresis, register resetting, tracking and dual PID. Plus 7 programmable timer modes on all 6 setpoints.

Setpoint tracking, setpoint latching and manual relay reset.

Setpoints activated from any input, any register in the meter

or from any digital input.

Plug-in I/O modules include electromechanical or solid state relays, logic outputs or open collector outputs. 6 inputs & 6 outputs of opto-isolated I/O can be connected to an external DIN Rail terminal block module.

Internal program safety lockout switch to prevent tampering.

Peak & valley (max & min) with front panel recall and reset.

Real time clock with 5 year Lithium battery backup.

Data logging within the meter (up to 4000 samples with

date/time stamp).

Autozero maintenance for super stable zero reading is pro-

Optional NEMA-4 front cover.

vided for use in weighing applications.

Programmable input averaging and smart digital filtering for

quick response to input signal changes.

Display text editing. Customize display text for OEM applica-

tions.

Scrolling display text messaging on T meters with macros.

Auto-sensing high voltage or optional low voltage AC / DC

power supply.
