Page 6
LED Displays
The meter has three 5-digit, 7-segment, 8 mm standard red, or optional green or bright red LED displays. The top display is the primary display and displays the primary input signal on Channel 1. It is also used to display all meter configuration programming codes. This includes programming the second and third displays.
The second and third displays can each be programmed to display an independent input signal, or a combination of signals processed by the meter, such as rate and total, peak and valley, etc.
Display Text Editing with 7 Segment Alphanumeric Display Characters
Display text, such as setpoints, can be easily edited to suit your application, by connecting the meter to a PC running the free downloadable Configuration Utility program.
For Example:
Instead of [SP_1]
Instead of [SP_2]
could be used for TANK LOW
could be used for BRAKE OFF
Scrolling Display Text Messaging Scrolling display text messaging can be configured to run but requires a simple compiler generated macro.
Display Text Characters
The following text characters are used with the 7-segment display.
7-SEGMENT DISPLAY CHARACTERS
Program Lockout Switch
When the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch is set to position 2, all programmable meter functions can be changed.
When set to the ON position, the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch prevents any programming changes being made to the meter. If programming is attempted, the meter displays [LOC]. The ON position allows programming parameters to be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Setpoint Lockout Switch
When the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch is set to position 1, the setpoints can be programmed. Once the setpoint values have been entered and the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch set to the ON position, the setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Error Message [Err]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures.
The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The
scaling
requirement
exceeded the capability of the meter (19999 to +99999).
3) No input signal present, or
incorrect connections.
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4,- total 1, and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming modes. All meter programming codes and setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 12) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/ relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPCX] [X2X].
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).

Digit
The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits. These are known as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite. To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps. The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:
Symbol
Explanation
The top display showing 99999 represents the OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the
documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button. In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this and indicates that both the buttons can play: UP for be used to adjust the disincrease, DOWN for decrease.
[Span]
[10000]
Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.
Page 8
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand button, the user is entering the main programming pressing the mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first sub-menu of the main programming mode.
Operational Display
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The only exception to this rule is when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in the description of a 3-digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.
The meters programming codes are divided into two modes: the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode (See Diagram below). Each mode is accessible from the operational display.
Main Programming Mode
The main programming mode provides access to program all meter functions, except setpoints.

Before configuring the meter, carry out the following meter configuration checks:
Model and software code version check.
Code blanking and macro check.
MODEL AND SOFTWARE CODE VERSION CHECK PROCEDURE
After powering-up the meter, check the model and software code version number and note this in your user manual.
Model and Software Code Version Check The meter model and software code version number can be checked at any time while in the operational display using the following procedure.
START HERE
Operational Display
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer
Page 14
selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters.
Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.
This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels 1 to 4.
See Linearization Table Notes on Page 28 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use.
Scale Analog Output
Selecting [CAL][25X] enters the Scale Analog Output Mode.
This mode allows you to calibrate and scale the analog output signal. Before calibrating the analog output in the calibration mode, the data source for the analog output must be configured in Code 1.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for further details on the analog output module.
Also see Configure Data Source Procedure on Page 19 for an example of setting the analog output data source.

[X50] = Primary Display.
[X51] = Second Display.
[X52] = Third Display.
The top display is the primary display and is used during all meter configuration procedures, including configuring the second and third displays.
Setpoint Annunciators Mode
The setpoint annunciators mode is configured by changing the 1st digit in Code 1. The setpoint annunciators can be configured to operate as follows:
On when the setpoint activates.
All annunciators are permanently on and each one only goes
off when its setpoint activates.
All annunciators are always off (See Note 1 on Code 1 diagram
on Page 18).
Setpoint 1 annunciator comes on indicating a rising signal.
Setpoint 2 annunciator comes on indicating a falling signal.
The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to select the setpoint annunciators to come ON when the setpoints are OFF (not active).
Update Display at Selected Sample Rate The meters default display update rate is 0.5 seconds and is set in the 2nd digit of Code 1 as [X0X].
The display can be configured to update at the analog sample rate selected in Code 2.
Selected in Code 2 the example procedure on Page 22 shows how to configure the display to update at typically 10 samples per second by setting Code 1 to [X2X].
For these settings to take effect, the analog sample rate must be set at [2XX] in Code 2.
See Code 2 Channel 1 Measurement Task and Sampling Rate on Page 23 for an example.
Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be configured to function exclusively as a manual loader by setting Code 1 to [X1X].
See Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for full details on manual loader mode functions.
Display Functions Mode
The display functions mode is configured by changing the 2nd and 3rd digits in Code 1:
The 2nd digit in Code 1 can also be used to configure the data source for the remaining functions in the 3rd digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Selecting 5 in the 2nd digit enters a sub-menu and allows you to select the data from one of a number of meter registers as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the 3rd digit.
The example procedure on Page 19 shows how to select the data source for the primary display. The three digits are set to [X50].
The same procedure is used to configure the second and third displays, with the three digits set to [X51] for second display and [X52] for third display.
Display Format 2nd Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the 2nd digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
The example procedure on Page 20 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the 3rd digit selection.
Text Character 2nd Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the 2nd digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
The example procedure on Page 21 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the 3rd digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must be set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.

Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 31
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
SP1 to activate from Channel 1 (CH1).
Relay to energize above or below SP1 value.
Relay to latch with manual relay reset.

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system.
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 18 & 19)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 34)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 35)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 35)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.

Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.
USING SETPOINTS TO INCREMENT AND RESET REGISTERS
Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the
meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.

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).

Error Message [Err]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures. The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the
meter (199999 to +999999).
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Front Panel Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen. However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Front Panel Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Five eights and five decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Front Panel Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), both the main and setpoint programming
modes are locked out. All meter programming codes
and setpoints can be viewed but not changed.

OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button.
In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand button, the user is entering the main programming pressing the mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first sub-menu of the main programming mode.

When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in the description of a 3-digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.
The meters manual programming codes are divided into two modes: the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode (See diagram below).
Each mode is accessible from the operational display.

MODEL &
SOFTWARE CODE
VERSION CHECK
Example
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details.
Serial Communications Properties
Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement
(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module.
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.

CODE 1 Display Configuration Modes All meter display modes, except the display brightness mode, are configured in Code 1 (See diagram below). See Code 1 diagram on Page 18 for a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits settings.
Setpoint Annunciators Mode
The setpoint annunciators mode is configured by changing the 1st digit in Code 1. The setpoint annunciators can be configured to operate as follows:
On when the setpoint activates.
All annunciators are permanently on and each one only goes
off when its setpoint activates.
All annunciators are always off (See Note 1 on Code 1 diagram
on Page 18).
Setpoint 1 annunciator comes on indicating a rising signal.
Setpoint 2 annunciator comes on indicating a falling signal.
The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to select the setpoint annunciators to come ON when the setpoints are OFF (not active).
Update Display at Selected Sample Rate The meters default display update rate is 0.5 seconds and is set in the 2nd digit of Code 1 as [X0X].
The display can be configured to update at the analog sample rate selected in Code 2. The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to configure the display to update at typically 10 samples per second by setting Code 1 to [X2X].
For these settings to take effect, the analog sample rate must be set at [2XX] in Code 2.
See Code 2 Channel 1 Measurement Task and Sampling Rate on Page 23 for an example.
Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be configured to function exclusively as a manual loader by setting Code 1 to [X1X].
See Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for full details on manual loader mode functions.
Display Functions Mode
The display functions mode is configured by changing the 2nd and 3rd digits in Code 1:
Selecting [X5X] enters the Data Source sub-menu.
Selecting [X6X] enters the Display Format sub-menu.
Selecting [X7X] enters the Last Digit Text Character sub-
menu.
Data Source 2nd Digit [X5X] The data source for the primary display is configured by selecting
5 in the 2nd digit and the 0 in the 3rd digit:
Note:
[XX1] Second Display is the bargraph display on models DI-50EB51, DI-50TB51, FI-B101D50E, FI-B101D50T. The [XX1] Second Display and [XX2] Third Display only apply to DI-503 meters with three displays.
The 2nd digit in Code 1 can also be used to configure the data source for the remaining functions in the 3rd digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Selecting 5 in the 2nd digit enters a sub-menu and allows you to select the data from one of a number of meter registers as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the 3rd digit.
The example procedure on Page 19 shows how to select the data source for the primary display. The three digits are set to [X50].
Display Format 2nd Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the 2nd digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
The example procedure on Page 20 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the 3rd digit selection.
Text Character 2nd Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the 2nd digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
The example procedure on Page 21 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the 3rd digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must be set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.

Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 31
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
on time settings.
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
minimum on time
settings.
Adj.

Single actuation, programmable off time
and DOB.
Repeat OFF Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable off and

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
Example Procedure:
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
LEVEL 1 SETPOINT CONFIGURATION
SP1 to activate from Channel 1 (CH1).
Relay to energize above or below SP1 value.

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system.
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 18 & 19)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 34)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 35)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 35)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
Page 36
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.
USING SETPOINTS TO INCREMENT AND RESET REGISTERS
Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 12 Capture. The CAPTURE pin (pin 12) can be activated by a very short logic low input or by connecting to the COMMON pin (pin 11). The CAPTURE pin can be programmed as a setpoint/ relay activation source for any selected setpoint to trigger any designed setpoint function or for macro control applications. See Setpoint Control Settings on page 34 in the Setpoint Programming Mode second digit [X2X].
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.

The Tiger 320 Series of 32-bit Programmable Meter Controllers incorporates, in one instrument, all the different functions required by todays automation and process control applications. This is made possible by modular construction, around standard case sizes, built to American, European, and Japanese standards.
The range comes with a wide variety of display options, including 5 or 6-digit numeric or alphanumeric displays, 6-digit LCD displays, and 51 or 101-segment red, green, or tri-color straight and circular bargraphs.
All meters are housed in one of three DIN case sizes, or the popular 4 ANSI case, and provide the ideal solution for your measurement and process control applications.
Modular construction ensures you dont have to pay for unnecessary hardware. Simply order the input and output options to suit your application.

When the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch is set to position 2, all programmable meter functions can be changed.
When set to the ON position, the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch prevents any programming changes being made to the meter.
If programming is attempted, the meter displays [LOC]. The ON position allows programming parameters to be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Setpoint Lockout Switch
When the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch is set to position 1, the setpoints can be programmed. Once the setpoint values have been entered and the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch set to the ON position, the setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Error Message [Err]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures. The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement the capability exceeded
of the meter (19999 to +99999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect
connections.
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin
8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming
modes. All meter programming codes and setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
power-up [2XX].
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 12) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/ relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPCX] [X2X].
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).

Digit
The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits. These are known as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite. To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps. The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:
Symbol
Explanation
The display showing 99999 represents the OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the
documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button. In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.
and
[Span]
[10000]
Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.
Page 8
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand button, the user is entering the main programpressing the ming mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5]. This is the display brightness mode and is the first submenu of the main programming mode.
Step 1
Step 2
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The only exception to this rule is when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in the description of a 3-digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.
The meters programming codes are divided into two modes: the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode (See diagram below).
Each mode is accessible from the operational display.
Main Programming Mode
The main programming mode provides access to program all meter functions, except setpoints.
To enter or exit the Main Programming Mode, press P and

Before configuring the meter, carry out the following meter configuration checks:
Model and software code version check.
Code blanking and macro check.
After powering-up the meter, check the model and software code version number and note this in your user manual.
Model and Software Code Version Check
The meter model and software code version number can be checked at any time while in the operational display using the following procedure.
START HERE
Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
Page 14
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters.
Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.
This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels 1 to 4.
See Linearization Table Notes on Page 28 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use.
Scale Analog Output
Selecting [CAL][25X] enters the Scale Analog Output Mode.
This mode allows you to calibrate and scale the analog output signal. Before calibrating the analog output in the calibration mode, the data source for the analog output must be configured in Code 1.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for further details on the analog output module.
Also see Configure Data Source Procedure on Page 19 for an example of setting the analog output data source.

CODE 1 Display Configuration Modes All meter display modes, except the display brightness mode, are configured in Code 1 (See diagram below). See Code 1 diagram on Page 18 for a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits settings.
The top display is the primary display and is used during all meter configuration procedures, including configuring the second and third displays.
Setpoint Annunciators Mode
The setpoint annunciators mode is configured by changing the 1st digit in Code 1. The setpoint annunciators can be configured to operate as follows:
On when the setpoint activates.
All annunciators are permanently on and each one only goes
off when its setpoint activates.
All annunciators are always off (See Note 1 on Code 1 diagram
on Page 18).
Setpoint 1 annunciator comes on indicating a rising signal.
Setpoint 2 annunciator comes on indicating a falling signal.
The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to select the setpoint annunciators to come ON when the setpoints are OFF (not active).
Update Display at Selected Sample Rate The meters default display update rate is 0.5 seconds and is set in the 2nd digit of Code 1 as [X0X].
The display can be configured to update at the analog sample rate. The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to configure the display to update at typically 10 samples per second by setting Code 1 to [X2X].
For these settings to take effect, the analog sample rate must be set at [2XX] in Code 2.
See Code 2 Channel 1 Measurement Task and Sampling Rate on Page 23 for an example.
Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be configured to function exclusively as a manual loader by setting Code 1 to [X1X].
See Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for full details on manual loader mode functions.
Display Functions Mode
The display functions mode is configured by changing the 2nd and 3rd digits in Code 1:
Selecting [X5X] enters the Data Source sub-menu.
Selecting [X6X] enters the Display Format sub-menu.
Selecting [X7X] enters the Last Digit Text Character sub-
menu.
Data Source 2nd Digit [X5X] The data source for the primary display is configured by selecting
5 in the 2nd digit and the 0 in the 3rd digit:
Note:
[XX1] Second Display is the bargraph display on models DI-50EB51, DI-50TB51, FI-B101D50E, and FI-B101D50T.
The [XX1] Second Display and [XX2] Third Display only apply to DI-503 meters with three displays.
The 2nd digit in Code 1 can also be used to configure the data source for the remaining functions in the 3rd digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Selecting 5 in the 2nd digit enters a sub-menu and allows you to select the data from one of a number of meter registers as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the 3rd digit.
The example procedure on Page 19 shows how to select the data source for the primary display. The three digits are set to [X50].
Display Format 2nd Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the 2nd digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (Decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
The example procedure on Page 20 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the 3rd digit selection.
Text Character 2nd Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the 2nd digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
The example procedure on Page 21 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the 3rd digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must be set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.

SP-A
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 31
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
Example Procedure:
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions: LEVEL 1 SETPOINT CONFIGURATION
SP1 to activate from Channel 1 (CH1).
Relay to energize above or below SP1 value.

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system.
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 18 & 19)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 34)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 35)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 35)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.

Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.
USING SETPOINTS TO INCREMENT AND RESET REGISTERS
Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the
meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.

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).

Error Message [Error]
Error messages usually
occur during calibration procedures. The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter
(199999 to +999999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming modes. All meter programming codes and
setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Front Panel Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen. However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Front Panel Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 11) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Front Panel Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4,- total 1, and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 12) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/ relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPC-X] [X2X].
Common Pin

Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits.
These are known as the first, second, and third digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite.
Operational Display
To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps. The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:
Symbol
Explanation
symbol
represents
This the
OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the input signal or the result of a math function to the meter. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button.
In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.
and
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand pressing the button, the user is entering the main programming mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first sub-menu of the main programming mode.
Step 1
Step 2
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The only exception to this rule is when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in place of a digit, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one selection can be made.

Before configuring the meter, carry out the following meter configuration checks:
Model and software code version check.
Code blanking and macro check.
After powering-up the meter, check the model and software code version number and note this in your user manual.
Model and Software Code Version Check The meter model and software code version number can be checked at any time while in the operational display using the following procedure.
START HERE
MODEL &
SOFTWARE CODE
VERSION CHECK
Example
Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details.
Serial Communications Properties
Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement
(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module.
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.

The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
Page 14
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters.
Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.
This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels 1 to 4.
See Linearization Table Notes on Page 28 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use.
Scale Analog Output
Selecting [CAL][25X] enters the Scale Analog Output Mode.
This mode allows you to calibrate and scale the analog output signal. Before calibrating the analog output in the calibration mode, the data source for the analog output must be configured in Code 1.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for further details on the analog output module.
Also see Configure Data Source Procedure on Page 19 for an example of setting the analog output data source.
Calibration Mode Procedures Supplement The Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Procedures Supplement (NZ203) describes in detail all Tiger 320 Series meter related calibration procedures configured in the calibration mode.
Two-point Calibration
Two-point calibration is the most commonly used method of calibrating Tiger 320 Series meters when a low and high input source is available.
Example Calibration Procedure
Calibrate channel 1 (CH1) using the two-point calibration method. Set the calibration mode display to [111].
The low input source is applied to the meter when setting the zero value.
The high input source is applied to the meter when setting the span value.

CODE 1 Display Configuration Modes All meter display modes, except the display brightness mode, are configured in Code 1 (See diagram below). See Code 1 diagram on Page 18 for a breakdown of first, second, and third digit settings.
Setpoint Annunciators Mode
The setpoint annunciators mode is configured by changing the first digit in Code 1. The setpoint annunciators can be configured to operate as follows:
On when the setpoint activates.
All annunciators are permanently on and each one only goes
off when its setpoint activates.
All annunciators are always off (See Note 1 on Code 1 diagram
on Page 18).
Setpoint 1 annunciator comes on indicating a rising signal.
Setpoint 2 annunciator comes on indicating a falling signal.
The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to select the setpoint annunciators to come ON when the setpoints are OFF (not active).
Update Display at Selected Sample Rate The meters default display update rate is 0.5 seconds and is set in the second digit of Code 1 as [X0X].
The display can be configured to update at the input signal sample rate selected in Code 2.
The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to configure the display to update at typically 10 samples per second by setting Code 1 to [X2X].
For these settings to take effect, the analog sample rate must be set at [2XX] in Code 2. See Code 2 Channel 1 Measurement Task and Sampling Rate on Page 23 for an example.
Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be configured to function exclusively as a manual loader by setting Code 1 to [X1X].
See Analog Output Module Supplement for full details on manual loader mode functions.
Display Functions Mode
The display functions mode in Code 1 allows you to configure:
The data source for the primary display.
The format of the display with last digit rounding, type of display
units, and decimal point placement.
A text character for the last digit.
The display functions mode is configured by changing the second and third digits in Code 1:
Selecting [X5X] enters the Data Source sub-menu.
Selecting [X6X] enters the Display Format sub-menu.
Selecting [X7X] enters the Last Digit Text Character sub-
menu.
Data Source Second Digit [X5X] The data source for the primary display is configured by selecting
5 in the second digit and the 0 in the third digit.
Note:
[XX1] Second Display is the bargraph display on models DI-50EB51, DI-50TB51, FI-B101D50E, and FI-B101D50T.
The [XX1] Second Display and [XX2] Third Display only apply to DI-503 meters with three displays.
The second digit in Code 1 can also be used to configure the data source for the remaining functions in the third digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Selecting 5 in the second digit enters a sub-menu and allows you to select the data from one of a number of meter registers as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the third digit.
The example procedure on Page 19 shows how to select the data source for the primary display. The three digits are set to [X50].
Display Format Second Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the second digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (Decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
The example procedure on Page 20 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the third digit selection.
Text Character Second Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the second digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
The example procedure on Page 21 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the third digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.

Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 31
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
on time settings.
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
time minimum on
settings.
Adj.

Pulse OFF mode (Programmable OFF-time)
Single actuation, programmable off time
and DOB.
Repeat OFF Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable off and

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
SP1 to activate from Channel 1 (CH1).
Relay to energize above SP1 value.
Relay to latch with manual relay reset.

[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 18 & 19)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 34)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 35)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 35)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
Page 36
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.
USING SETPOINTS TO INCREMENT AND RESET REGISTERS
Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the
meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.
Chassis Ground Tab. Only on versions with metal sheath casing.

The Tiger 320 Series of 32-bit Programmable Meter Controllers incorporates, in one instrument, all the different functions required by todays automation and process control applications. This is made possible by modular construction, around standard case sizes, built to American, European, and Japanese standards.
The range comes with a wide variety of display options, including 5 or 6-digit numeric or alphanumeric displays, 6-digit LCD displays, and 51 or 101-segment red, green, or tri-color straight and circular bargraphs.
All meters are housed in one of three DIN case sizes, or the popular 4 ANSI case, and provide the ideal solution for your measurement and process control applications.
Modular construction ensures you dont have to pay for unnecessary hardware. Simply order the input and output options to suit your application.

Program Lockout Switch
When the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch is set to position 2, all programmable meter functions can be changed.
When set to the ON position, the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch prevents any programming changes being made to the meter. If programming is attempted, the meter displays [LOC]. The ON position allows programming parameters to be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Setpoint Lockout Switch
When the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch is set to position 1, the setpoints can be programmed. Once the setpoint values have been entered and the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch set to the ON position, the setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Error Message [Error]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures.
The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter
(199999 to +999999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming modes. All meter programming codes and
setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen. However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 11) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4,- total 1, and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 12) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/ relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPC-X] [X2X].
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).

The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits.
These are known as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd0 digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite.

OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button.
In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand pressing the button, the user is entering the main programming mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first sub-menu of the main programming mode.

Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The only exception to this rule is when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.

When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in the description of a 3-digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.
The meters programming codes are divided into two modes:
the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode (See Diagram below).
Each mode is accessible from the operational display.
Programming Tip
The easiest and fastest way to configure the Tiger 320 is to use a PC with the free downloadable configuration utility program.
Main Programming Mode
The main programming mode provides access to program all meter functions, except setpoints.

SOFTWARE CODE
VERSION CHECK
Example
Operational Display
Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.
To turn the code blanking and macro settings from ON to OFF:

After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.

Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters.
Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.
This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels 1 to 4.
See Linearization Table Notes on Page 28 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use.
Scale Analog Output
Selecting [CAL][25X] enters the Scale Analog Output Mode.
This mode allows you to calibrate and scale the analog output signal. Before calibrating the analog output in the calibration mode, the data source for the analog output must be configured in Code 1.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for further details on the analog output module.
Also see Configure Data Source Procedure on Page 19 for an example of setting the analog output data source.
Calibration Mode Procedures Supplement The Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Procedures Supplement (NZ203) describes in detail all Tiger 320 Series meter related calibration procedures configured in the calibration mode.
Two-point Calibration
Two-point calibration is the most commonly used method of calibrating Tiger 320 Series meters when a low and high input source is available.
Example Calibration Procedure
Calibrate channel 1 (CH1) using the two-point calibration method. Set the calibration mode display to [111].
The low input source is applied to the meter when setting the zero value.
The high input source is applied to the meter when setting the span value.

CODE 1 Display Configuration Modes All meter display modes, except the display brightness mode, are configured in Code 1 (See diagram below). See Code 1 diagram on Page 18 for a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits settings.
Setpoint Annunciators Mode
The setpoint annunciators mode is configured by changing the first digit in Code 1. The setpoint annunciators can be configured to operate as follows:
On when the setpoint activates.
All annunciators are permanently on and each one only goes
off when its setpoint activates.
All annunciators are always off (See Note 1 on Code 1 diagram
on Page 18).
Setpoint 1 annunciator comes on indicating a rising signal.
Setpoint 2 annunciator comes on indicating a falling signal.
The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to select the setpoint annunciators to come ON when the setpoints are OFF (not active).
Update Display at Selected Sample Rate The meters default display update rate is 0.5 seconds and is set in the 2nd digit of Code 1 as [X0X].
The display can be configured to update at the analog sample rate selected in Code 2.
The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to configure the display to update at 50 samples per second by setting Code
1 to [X2X].
For these settings to take effect, the analog sample rate must be set at [2XX] in Code 2.
See Code 2 Channel 1 Measurement Task and Sampling Rate on Page
23 for an example.
Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be configured to function exclusively as a manual loader by setting Code 1 to [X1X].
See Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for full details on manual loader mode functions.

The 2nd digit in Code 1 can also be used to configure the data source for the remaining functions in the 3rd digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Selecting 5 in the 2nd digit enters a sub-menu and allows you to select the data from one of a number of meter registers as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the third digit.
The example procedure on Page 19 shows how to select the data source for the primary display. The three digits are set to [X50].
Display Format 2nd Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the 2nd digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (Decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
The example procedure on Page 20 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the 3rd digit selection.
Text Character 2nd Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the 2nd digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
The example procedure on Page 21 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the 3rd digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.

Setpoint Programming Mode Logic Diagram
Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 31
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
on time settings.
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
time minimum on
settings.
Adj.

Pulse OFF mode (Programmable OFF-time)
Single actuation, programmable off time
and DOB.
Repeat OFF Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable off and

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
Example Procedure:
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
See Setpoints and Relays Supplement (NZ201) for procedures to program all setpoint and relay operational levels (Level 1 to Level 3).

The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.

Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.
USING SETPOINTS TO INCREMENT AND RESET REGISTERS
Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 12 Capture. The CAPTURE pin (pin 12) can be activated by a very short logic low input or by connecting to the COMMON pin (pin 11). The CAPTURE pin can be programmed as a setpoint/ relay activation source for any selected setpoint to trigger any designed setpoint function or for macro control applications. See Setpoint Control Settings on page 34 in the Setpoint Programming Mode second digit [X2X].
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.

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).

(PMCs) to be easily configured as a cost effective solution for the most simple or the most complex of applications.
A review of your Projects objectives, its physical layout, the proposed sensors and control outputs will enable you to select the optimum configuration of the Tiger 320 PMCs unique hardware and software capabilities.
Input Signals & Sensors
4-20 mA or Sensor Direct Unless sensors are located at a far distance, the greatest accuracy and best performance is usually obtained by connecting sensors directly to the Tiger 320, which will then function as the primary measurement device.
There are more than 120 Tiger compatible input signal conditioning modules, with the appropriate excitation outputs, to suit almost any type of sensor or combina-
tions of up to 4 sensors.
In most cases, sensors with a 4-20 mA output are more costly, and when a separate 4-20 mA transmitter is used, signal conversion, drift, and calibration inaccuracies are introduced.
Some Tiger input modules combine direct sensor inputs with 4-20 mA inputs, enabling both local and far distant sensor inputs to be combined.
Sensor Linearization or Compensation The performance of many sensors can be greatly enhanced or expanded with linearization and or compensation. Sensors may be compensated for temperature, frequency, altitude, humidity and mechanical position, to name just a few parameters.
Tiger PMCs with 32 kilobits or more of memory provide up to four 32-point user defined linearization tables or one combined 125-point table.
Many compensation methods can be implemented with the standard cross channel math capabilities of the Tigers 32-bit operating system. Complex three-dimensional compensation can also be implemented using the powerful macro programming capability.
The serial number and calibration date of a sensor can be loaded into the meter. The serial number, linearization tables, and compensation factors of a newly calibrated sensor can then be saved for future reloading, either serially through a PC or directly through the web via an Ethernet port.
Although there are numerous input modules with combinations of various input signals, some inputs such as watts or pH are provided on input modules dedicated to a single function. Combining these inputs with each other signals two or more Tiger meters can serially communicate, and be configured to share their data and processing resources.
Display Options
Tiger PMCs have a large range of display options, including digital and alphanumeric LCDs, LEDs and Touch Panel HMIs.
LED or LCD Displays LED displays are a lower cost and popular display option.
They operate over the largest temperature range, have better viewing angles and viewing distances, and have the longest operational life. However, red LEDs are difficult to read in direct sunlight without a shade hood and consume more power. Green LEDs and backlit LCD displays can be more easily read in direct sunlight.
The Tiger range can be ordered with red or green LEDs.
LCD displays are also available, with or without backlighting.
Numeric or Alphanumeric Displays Generally, numeric displays are a lower cost option than alphanumeric displays. The Tiger range supports a full 7segment numeric and 14-segment alphanumeric alphabet of English letters and Arabic numerals. Where complex text messaging or alarm annunciation is required, we recommend using the 14-segment alphanumeric option.
Single or Multiple Display The Tiger meter has four input channels and can be configured to display many different inputs or results. These can be viewed constantly on the operational display, or on demand in one of the view modes by pressing a button. Some applications require multiple values to be displayed simultaneously. With single, dual, or triple displays, and single displays with 51 or 101-segment bargraph combinations, we have a large range of display options to choose from.
Tiger meters can communicate with each other to share their data and processing resources and be stack or twin mounted to provide a wider range of display options.
Stack mounting

options
Twin or triple mounting for greater display options
Push Button or Membrane Touch Pads Tiger PMCs are shipped as standard with high usage hard plastic push buttons. An optional clear lens cover that opens on a cam hinge with a key lock can provide full NEMA 4 or IP65 dust and water proofing. Alternatively, an optional membrane touch pad faceplate can be ordered.
Faceplates can be custo suit any tomized OEM application, and
be quickly produced in large or small quantities for push buttons or membrane touch pads.
Electromechanical Relays or Solid State Control Outputs
Tiger PMCs have a wide selection of control outputs to chose from. The decision on which control output to choose depends on the current and the switching frequency.
Electromechanical relays are a popular choice for most control outputs. Tiger output modules are available with combinations of two 10 amp form C and two to six 5 amp form A relays that can be used to directly drive fractional HP motors or actuators.
The limitation of electromechanical relays is switching speed. If a relay needs to operate in less than 30 mS, or be cycled faster than.5 cpm, it is advisable to select an output module with solid state relays (SSR) or open collector outputs (OC), that can drive external high current SSRs.
PID or On/Off Control Depending on the process to be controlled, either PID or on/off control should be selected. If the process variables are reasonably consistent, then the on/off control is generally more than adequate and easier to implement. Super smart setpoint control software supports many selectable functions, such as Hi or Lo activation, Latching, Hysteresis, Tracking, Register Resetting and 7 Multi-function internal Timers on all setpoints.
Control systems with large lag and lead times are not suitable for on/off control and tend to overshoot and undershoot. PID is needed to stabilize and control these systems. One of the many powerful setpoint functions provided by the Tiger 320 Operating System is single or dual PID.
Retransmission 0-10V or 4-20mA Tiger PMCs can have an optional single (0-10 V or 0/4-20 mA) or dual (0-10 V) analog output module installed. The isolated 16-bit output is fully scalable and highly accurate.
With a compliance of up to 500 at 20mA, the 4-20 mA output can be used over very long distances and still drive more than one output device, such as a PID controlled valve positioner.
The analog outputs can be reversed to output 20mA to 4/0 or 10 to 0VDC. They can be scaled across any portion of the digital range, up to full scale. The output can be programmed to swing 0 to 20mA or 0 to 10V in one digital count to drive external logic or SSRs as additional setpoints.
Under Macro Program Control, the analog outputs can be programmed to produce pulses or even sinewaves.
I/O Logic, Rear Panel or Breakout Box The Tiger Operating System has many built-in logic functions that can be used to develop sophisticated control systems. The Tiger PMC has three logic inputs/outputs available via the LOCK, HOLD, and CAPTURE pins, and three logic I/Os are available for input module use via pins D1, D2 and D3.
More complex I/O intensive applications require an opto-isolated I/O plug-in module, which supports six inputs and up PLANNING to 16 outputs. This module can connect to an external TIP
Breakout Box that is DIN Rail mountable with screw terminal blocks. There are also compatible DIN Rail mounting electromechanical relays and SSR modules.
6 Inputs & 16 Outputs or 6 Inputs & 6 Outputs
Fully Programmable
The easiest way to configure or program a Tiger PMC is with the free user-friendly Configuration or Macro Development Software. Serial I/O is provided via an optional Plug-in output carrier board, which supports RS-232 or RS-485 output modules. If serial I/O is not required by the application, the serial carrier board can be removed for reuse. The Tiger 320 Operating System supports several serial protocols, including ASCII, Modbus RTU and Print Mode (which includes a printer driver and support for direct meter to meter communications).
Also supported is DeviceNet, which requires a special dedicated carrier board, and Ethernet (TCP/IP), which requires an external converter box.
RS-232 or RS-485
Except for DeviceNet, all serial communication modes supported by the Tiger can function with either RS-232 or RS-485. The limitations of RS-232 are that only one meter at a time can be connected to the serial port of a computer, and the
distance from the computer to the meter is limited in practical terms to around 30 meters (100 feet).
Up to 32 meters can be connected on an RS-485 bus.
The differential current drive of the RS-485 bus ensures signal integrity in the most harsh environments to distances up to 1230 meters (4000 feet). However, RS-485 generally requires a special RS-485 output card to be installed in the computer or an external RS-232 to RS-485 converter has to be used.
DECISION
Modbus (RTU)
Modbus is widely used in industry. It has a large base, and most SCADA and HMI software packages support it. See also Modbus Wrapped in Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) below.
There are 100s of HMI Touch Panel Screens that are compatible with the Tiger 320 Modbus interface.
ASCII
The meter configuration utility program and the development software use the ASCII protocol. The ASCII protocol allows you to write your own driver for your own application via the development software and should provide the quickest development time.
Print Mode
This is an ASCII based printer driver output that enables the serial port to be directly connected to any serial printer with Epson compatibility. Printer output can be configured to occur from a setpoint or on demand, and can be date or time stamped.
The print mode can also be used for computer data logging applications. The meter can be connected directly to a computer, set up in Microsoft Hyperterminal mode, with the meter programmed to output directly into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format. (Also see Data Logging).
Print Mode for Meter to Meter Communication Two or more Tiger PMCs can be connected together allowing data to be transferred from the master meter (in print mode) to the slave meter (in ASCII mode). This enables the meters to share input data and control output functions.
Master Mode
This mode is for use with macro programming to expand the meter to meter communication capability to multiples of Tiger PMCs. This is useful for building an entire system of Tiger PMCs, sharing information and control output resources.
DECISION
Ethernet
Ethernet has become a popular automation and control protocol. We supply an ethernet output option and several external ethernet converters that are compatible with the serial outputs of Tiger PMCs.
Ethernet ASCII Wrap - The ethernet output carrier board option wraps the ASCII output into the Ethernet protocol, and provides a T-base 10/100 Ethernet output socket. This allows the Configuration Utility Program or the Macro Development Software to run over a standard Ethernet network. This enables the Tiger meter to be configured or macro programmed from anywhere in the world via the web.
Up to 32 Tiger PMCs can be connected by RS-485 to a single Ethernet Converter, which will support up to 32 separate IP addresses.
Ethernet Modbus Wrap - This converter accepts the Tiger PMCs modbus protocol and outputs Modbus/TCP through an Ethernet T-base 10 port. This has become a standard for Ethernet on the factory floor. Many SCADA and HMI software packages connect directly to Modbus/TCP.
DeviceNet
DeviceNet was originally developed by Allen Bradley to connect sensors from the factory floor to PLCs. It is a deterministic real-time system, typically used to connect to networks using Allen Bradley PLCs. An optional carrier board is required for DeviceNet which replaces the standard serial output with a dedicated DeviceNet output connector.
The Tiger 320 Operating System has built-in, sophisticated data logging software. Data logging can be triggered from the PROGRAM button, digital inputs, time or alarm functions. Up to 1MB of optional extra on-board memory provides a powerful, multichannel data capture and acquisition system.
Tiger PMCs can be configured to log in an endless loop, overwriting the oldest data first and utilizing the maximum amount of memory available. Similar to the Black Box on an aircraft, the data can be downloaded for analysis after a problem event occurs.
Data logging can be combined with an Ethernet converter to provide an individual Web Page with data that can be accessed by a browser over the internet.
Real-time Clock
The Tiger meter has an optional real-time clock with a 15 year lithium battery backup, ensuring that time information is not lost in the event of a power failure. It can be configured in 12 or 24-hour modes for printing and data logging applications.
Other applications of the real-time clock include activating a setpoint or control action at fixed times of the hour, day, week, month or year.
Flash Card Memory Module For long term data logging, a Flash Card Memory Module that plugs in to the carrier board output socket is available. Flash Cards are available from
4 to 128 meg. They can be removed and read by a standard card reader, or the data can be downloaded through the serial port or over the internet with an Ethernet converter. The module also has an SSR setpoint output to trigger an external event.
With a serial output module installed, Tiger 320 PMCs are most easily configured using the Tiger 320 Configuration Utility, which can be downloaded free from the web and run on any Windows-based PC. The utility also enables the user to access some special capabilities of the Tiger 320 which cannot be programmed manually by the front panel buttons.
The Configuration Utility requires that an RS-232 interface board be installed in a Tiger 320 for programming.
However, if the final application does not require a serial output, the RS-232 board can be easily removed, after programming is completed, and kept for future use.
When a Tiger 320 is to be used in a custom application, the utility enables all or any of the front panel programming functions to be disabled (code blanking).
Customized descriptive text can also be entered to appear with any setpoint action or event.
Different configurations can be stored in a PC for fast downloading into a meter by the user. Custom configurations can also be issued a serial number and pre-
loaded at the factory.
Custom Macro Programming
This powerful, easy to use development system enables programs to be written in BASIC, utilizing any combination of the hundreds of functions and thousands of registers embedded in the Tiger 320 Operating System. When your Basic program is compiled into the Tiger 320 Macro-language it is error checked and optimized. There are also numerous offthe-shelf application specific programs available. Many only need the blanks to be filled in to use them and do not require any knowledge of BASIC programming.
Macro in the
writing stage
Macros are useful when implementing any specialized control system that cannot be achieved by the standard configuration capability of the Tiger 320 Operating System. Using the development software, functions can be altered or added in a standard meter to perform the required job. This may typically include logic sequencing functions and mathematical functions.
Developing a Macro is much easier and quicker than programming a PLC, because the basic code required to customize the Tiger meter is considerably less than the ladder logic programming required for PLCs. This is due to the hundreds of functions built into the Tiger meter that can be manipulated or invoked by a macro, to fulfill the requirements of almost any application.
S c r o l l i n g annunciator

to appear with any setpoint activation, selected events or logic inputs. Easy to read, plain text prompts can be programmed to replace the manual programming codes and provide a userfriendly interface for any custom application.
RAW DATA ANALOG, DIGITAL AND LOGIC I/O
The Easiest and Fastest Way to Configure the Tiger 320 is to Use a PC with the Free Downloadable Configuration Utility Program The diagrams and instructions provided in this data sheet / user manual are intended to enable the Tiger meter to be configured and programmed manually using the front panel buttons. A system of Programming Codes is required to facilitate this type of manual programming and these are explained in detail with diagrams and examples.
However, when the Tiger meter is configured and programmed via the optional RS-232 serial port and a PC using the Configuration Utility, the system of Programming Codes is bypassed. The Configuration Utility enables all the programming options to be clearly identified by their functions for direct on-screen selection. The Configuration Utility requires that an RS-232 interface board be installed in a Tiger 320 for programming. However, if the final application does not require a serial output, the RS-232 board can be easily removed, after programming is completed, and kept for future use.
The Configuration Utility Program (which may be freely downloaded from the web) is designed to simplify and speed up the configuration and programming of any Tiger 320. Pull down menus facilitate the selection of different options and the assignment of values. A Help explanation is provided just by holding the cursor over any function box.
The configuration utility enables the user to access some special capabilities of the Tiger 320 which cannot be selected manually by the front panel buttons.
Easy Installation of Linearization Tables
The configuration utility facilitates the storage and downloading of complex linearization tables. Tables can be created in any mathematical or spreadsheet program, and copied into the utility. Linearization tables can be created to precisely match a particular sensor so that they can be installed and downloaded as part of an annual calibration procedure.
Code Blanking
When a custom configuration is created for any specialized application, the Tiger 320 can be programmed to blank out and disable all or any manual programming codes that you do not wish the user to be able to view or access by de-selecting them in the appropriate check box.
Display Text Editing
The meter can be programmed to display customized text to appear for any setpoint or event to suit any application requirements.
Easy Setpoint Configuration
The Tiger 320 supports an incredible range of setpoint options and functions. The utility makes is quick and easy to select and download any combination you may require.
Configuration Data Copying and Loading The configuration utility program allows you to store a record of a meters configuration for later referral, or for the restoration of a desired configuration. Macros can be combined with a configuration file so they can be downloaded together and locked at the same time. When a file is locked after downloading, it cannot be copied. It can only be erased and reloaded from a master file.
Also included is the ability for the user to make notes about the configuration that can be stored as part of the file.
This powerful, easy to use Development System can be downloaded free from the web. It 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.
When your BASIC program is compiled into the Tiger 320 Macro-language it is error checked and optimized. When your Macro is downloaded into a Tiger 320 and locked, it is locked forever. It cannot be read or duplicated, it can only be erased.
There is no back-door access. A Tiger 320 running your Macro will remain your exclusive proprietary product.
There is also a growing library of off-the-shelf application specific macro programs available. Many only need the blanks to be filled in to use them and this does not require any knowledge of BASIC. The source code is provided with these programs so they can easily be customized and/or integrated into any proprietary application-specific Macro.
On request, any custom Macro can be issued a serial number and pre-installed at the factory to operate on power-up.
Scrolling annunciator messages can be programmed to appear with any setpoint activation, selected events or logic inputs.
Easy to read, plain text prompts can be programmed to replace the manual programming codes and provide a user-friendly interface for any custom application.

Function Buttons
Function buttons activate pre-programmed macros on and demand. each macro is written to activate from a specific function button. When the function button is pressed, the macro carries out its designated tasks.
When the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch is set to position 2, all programmable meter functions can be changed.
When set to the ON position, the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch prevents any programming changes being made to the meter. If programming is attempted, the meter displays [LOC].
The ON position allows programming parameters to be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Setpoint Lockout Switch
When the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch is set to position 1, the setpoints can be programmed. Once the setpoint values have been entered and the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch set to the ON position, the setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Error Message [ERROR]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures.
The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal
must be at least
1000 counts greater
than the low input
(zero) signal (positive and negative
values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the
capability of the meter (19999 to +99999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the
button displays [LoCK].
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 17):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 17):
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 17):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4,

Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming modes.
All meter programming
codes and setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 12) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPCX] [X2X].
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the
meter uses the three righthand side display digits.
These are known as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite. To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps.

The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger
320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:
Symbol
Explanation
The top display showing 99999 represents the OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal.
This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button. In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
Operational Display
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.
and
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operabutton and a right tional display. With a left hand pressing the
hand pressing the button, the user is entering the main programming mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].This is the display brightness mode and is the first submenu of the main programming mode.
Operational Display
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The only exception to this rule is when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in the description of a 3digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.
[Span]
[10000]
Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.
The meters programming codes are divided into two modes:
the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode (See diagram below).
Each mode is accessible from the operational display.

Before configuring the meter, carry out the following meter configuration checks:
Model and software code version check.
Code blanking and macro check.
After powering-up the meter, check the model and software code version number and note this in your user manual.
The meter model and software code version number can be checked at any time while in the operational display using the following procedure.

Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

Display Brightness Mode
The display brightness mode is accessed when entering the main programming mode. It allows you to adjust the brightness of the display LEDs and setpoint annunciators without interfering with other configuration settings. It is always available, even with the PROGRAM LOCK switch set to ON, or the external LOCK pin connected to the COMMON pin, locking out the programming modes.
The display brightness can be set between 0 and 7, with 0 being dull and 7 being bright. The default setting is 5.

The Display Brightness setting procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings by entering the main programming mode.
The Tiger 320 Series meter has an extremely powerful set of input and output calibration modes. See diagram below.
In this mode the meter can be programmed to activate one of the following on demand functions by pressing the button while in the operational display:
On Demand TARE.
On Demand Single-point Calibration (requires single input source).
On Demand Two-point Calibration (requires dual input source).
On Demand Primary Input Compensation Mode.
On Demand Manual Loader Mode.
The following calibration modes are available:
Manual Calibration (requires NO input source).
Two-point Calibration (requires dual input source).
This is the calibration mode generally used to calibrate the meter for most applications. An example procedure has been included.
Calibrate Thermocouple (requires K type thermocouple
input source).
Calibrate RTD (requires RTD 385 input source).
Calibrate Smart Input Module (not available on all input
modules).
Calibrate Analog Output (requires multimeter connected to pins
16 and 17).
Related Calibration Functions
The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details. (See page 3 for more information).
Serial Communications Properties
Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement
(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module. (See page 3 for more information).
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 24 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters. (See page
3 for more information).
Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.
This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels 1 to 4.
See Linearization Table Notes on Page 36 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use. (See page 3 for more information).
Scale Analog Output
Selecting [CAL][25X] enters the Scale Analog Output Mode.
This mode allows you to calibrate and scale the analog output signal. Before calibrating the analog output in the calibration mode, the data source for the analog output must be configured in Code 1.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for further details on the analog output module. (See page 3 for more information).
Also see Configure Data Source Procedure on Page 27 for an example of setting the analog output data source.
Calibration Mode Procedures Supplement The Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Procedures Supplement (NZ203) describes in detail all Tiger 320 Series meter related calibration procedures configured in the calibration mode.
Two-point Calibration
Two-point calibration is the most commonly used method of calibrating Tiger 320 Series meters when a low and high input source is available.
Example Calibration Procedure
Calibrate channel 1 (CH1) using the two-point calibration method. Set the calibration mode display to [111].
The low input source is applied to the meter when setting the zero value.
The high input source is applied to the meter when setting the span value.

CODE 1 Display Configuration Modes All meter display modes, except the display brightness mode, are configured in Code 1 (See diagram below). See Code 1 diagram on Page 26 for a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits settings.
Setpoint Annunciators Mode
The setpoint annunciators mode is configured by changing the first digit in Code 1. The setpoint annunciators can be configured to operate as follows:
On when the setpoint activates.
All annunciators are permanently on and each one only goes off
when its setpoint activates.
All annunciators are always off (See Note 1 on Code 1 diagram
on Page 26).
Setpoint 1 annunciator comes on indicating a rising signal.
Setpoint 2 annunciator comes on indicating a falling signal.
The example procedure on Page 30 shows how to select the setpoint annunciators to come ON when the setpoints are OFF (not active).
Update Display at Selected Sample Rate The meters default display update rate is 0.5 seconds and is set in the 2nd digit of Code 1 as [X0X].
The display can be configured to update at the analog sample rate selected in Code 2.
The example procedure on Page 30 shows how to configure the display to update at 50 samples per second by setting Code 1 to [X2X].
For these settings to take effect, the analog sample rate must be set at [2XX] in Code 2.
See Code 2 Channel 1 Measurement Task and Sampling Rate on Page 31 for an example.
Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be configured to function exclusively as a manual loader by setting Code 1 to [X1X].
See Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for full details on manual loader mode functions.

The display functions mode is configured by changing the 2nd and 3rd digits in Code 1:
Selecting [X5X] enters the Data Source sub-menu.
Selecting [X6X] enters the Display Format sub-menu.
Selecting [X7X] enters the Last Digit Text Character sub-
menu.
Data Source 2nd Digit [X5X] The data source for the primary display is configured by selecting
5 in the 2nd digit and 0 in the 3rd digit.
Note:
[XX1] Second Display is the bargraph display on models DI-50B51, FI-B101D50, and GI-50B101. The [XX1] Second Display and [XX2] Third Display only apply to DI-503 meters with three displays.
The 2nd digit in Code 1 can also be used to configure the data source for the remaining functions in the 3rd digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Selecting 5 in the 2nd digit enters a sub-menu and allows you to select the data from one of a number of meter registers as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the third digit.
The example procedure on Page 27 shows how to select the data source for the primary display. The three digits are set to [X50].
Display Format 2nd Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the 2nd digit enters the Display Format sub-menu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (Decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
The example procedure on Page 28 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the 3rd digit selection.
Text Character 2nd Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the 2nd digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
The example procedure on Page 29 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the 3rd digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.
Example Procedure:
The following example procedure describes how to select the source of the data to be displayed for the third digit selection.

Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.

SP-A
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can be applied to setpoints
configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or
PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programmable offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers
Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, programmable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is 70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually
programs a relays
setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
on time settings.
1-Shot ON mode (Programmable Minimum ON-time)
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
minimum on time
settings.
Adj.
DOM
Normally ON / Pulsed OFF Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally on and pulses off when the setpoint activates.
1-Shot OFF mode (Programmable Minimum OFF-time)
Single actuation, programmable minimum
off time and DOB settings.
Pulse OFF mode (Programmable OFF-time)
Single actuation, programmable off time
and DOB.
Repeat OFF Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable off and
on time settings.
Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
Example Procedure:
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint 1
(SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
See Setpoints and Relays Supplement (NZ201) for procedures to program all setpoint and relay operational levels (Level 1 to Level 3). (See page 3 for more information).
SP1 to activate from Channel 1 (CH1).
Relay to energize above or below SP1 value.

Programming Tip
A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system (see page 11).
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 26 & 27)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 42)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 43)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 43)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle (cid:4) is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle (cid:2) is shown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and
release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable 1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown on the right, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed.
Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
USING SETPOINTS TO INCREMENT AND RESET REGISTERS
Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the
meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.
Chassis Ground Tab. Only on versions with metal sheath casing.

Over 120 plug-in signal conditioning modules are available to suit almost any input signal, control, or data output. Modules can be easily inserted through the rear of the meter without disassembly of the case or removal from the panel. Many modules are exclusively designed for the Tiger 320 Series, and some can also be used with the Leopard and Lynx Family panel meters and bargraphs.
*Optimized for 50 Hz rejection. **Optimized for 60 Hz rejection.
Many additional input modules are available and others are constantly being developed. Check with your local distributor or see Texmates web site at: 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 are designed to be header selectable by the user, and our unique SPAN ADJUST Header facilitates scaling to almost any required engineering unit. See Input Module Component Glossary for more information.
Unless otherwise specified, we will ship all modules pre calibrated with factory preselected ranges and/or scaling 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.
Symbols Indicate Module Compatibility Within Meter Families

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 transmitters.
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.

Program Lockout Switch
When the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch is set to position 2, all programmable meter functions can be changed.
When set to the ON position, the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch prevents any programming changes being made to the meter.
If programming is attempted, the meter displays 'LOC'. The ON position allows programming parameters to be viewed but not changed.
See Display without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Setpoint Lockout Switch
When the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch is set to position 1, the setpoints can be programmed. Once the setpoint values have been entered and the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch set to the ON position, the setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
See Display without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Error Message [Err]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures.
The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter
(199999 to +999999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X].When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [00X]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period.
The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4,- total 1, and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming modes. All meter programming codes and
setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Capture Pin
The CAPTURE pin (pin 12) can be activated by a very short logic low input or by connecting to the COMMON pin (pin 11). The CAPTURE pin can be programmed as a setpoint/relay activation source for any selected setpoint to trigger any designed setpoint function or for macro control applications. See Setpoint Control Settings on page 34 in the Setpoint Programming Mode second digit [X2X].
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).

The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits.
These are known as the first, second, and third digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite.

To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps. The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:

OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the input signal or the result of a math function to the meter. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button.
In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand button, the user is entering the main programming pressing the mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first sub-menu of the main programming mode.

Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The only exception to this rule is when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.

Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in place of a digit, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained.

Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.
To turn the code blanking and macro settings from ON to OFF:
Before configuring the meter, carry out the following meter configuration checks:
Model and software code version check.
Code blanking and macro check.
After powering-up the meter, check the model and software code version number and note this in your user manual.
Model and Software Code Version Check
The meter model and software code version number can be checked at any time while in the operational display using the following procedure.

Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value. When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.

The [XX1] Second Display and [XX2] Third Display only apply to DI-503 meters with three displays.
The second digit in Code 1 can also be used to configure the data source for the remaining functions in the third digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Selecting 5 in the second digit enters a sub-menu and allows you to select the data from one of a number of meter registers as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the third digit.
The example procedure on Page 19 shows how to select the data source for the primary display. The three digits are set to [X50].
Display Format Second Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the second digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (Decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
The example procedure on Page 20 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the third digit selection.
Text Character Second Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the second digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.

Setpoint Programming Mode Logic Diagram
Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.

Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
SP ON
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
on time settings.
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
time minimum on
settings.
Normally ON / Pulsed OFF Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally on and pulses off when the setpoint activates.
Single actuation, programmable minimum
off time and DOB settings.
Pulse OFF mode (Programmable OFF-time)
Single actuation, programmable off time
and DOB.
Repeat OFF Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable off and
on time settings.
Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system.
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 18 & 19)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 34)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 35)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 35)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.

Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pin 12 Capture. The CAPTURE pin (pin 12) can be activated by a very short logic low input or by connecting to the COMMON pin (pin 11). The CAPTURE pin can be programmed as a setpoint/ relay activation source for any selected setpoint to trigger any designed setpoint function or for macro control applications. See Setpoint Control Settings on page 34 in the Setpoint Programming Mode second digit [X2X].
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.
Chassis Ground Tab. Only on versions with metal sheath casing.

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).

Program Lockout Switch
When the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch is set to position 2, all programmable meter functions can be changed.
When set to the ON position, the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch prevents any programming changes being made to the meter.
If programming is attempted, the meter displays 'LOC'. The ON position allows programming parameters to be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Setpoint Lockout Switch
When the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch is set to position 1, the setpoints can be programmed. Once the setpoint values have been entered and the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch set to the ON position, the setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Error Message [Err]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures.
The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter (199999 to +999999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X].When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [00X]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4,- total 1, and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming modes. All meter programming codes and
setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 12) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/ relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPC-X] [X2X].
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).

The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits.
These are known as the first, second, and third digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite.

To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps. The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:

This the
OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the input signal or the result of a math function to the meter. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button.
In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand pressing the button, the user is entering the main programming mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first sub-menu of the main programming mode.
Step 1
Step 2
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The only exception to this rule is when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in place of a digit, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.

The meters manual programming codes are divided into two modes: the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode (See diagram below).
Each mode is accessible from the operational display.
Main Programming Mode
The main programming mode provides access to program all meter functions, except setpoints.
Programming Tip

Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.
To turn the code blanking and macro settings from ON to OFF:

The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details.
Serial Communications Properties
Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement
(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module.
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
Page 14
Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.
This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels 1 to 4.
See Linearization Table Notes on Page 28 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use.
Scale Analog Output
Selecting [CAL][25X] enters the Scale Analog Output Mode.
This mode allows you to calibrate and scale the analog output signal. Before calibrating the analog output in the calibration mode, the data source for the analog output must be configured in Code 1.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for further details on the analog output module.
Also see Configure Data Source Procedure on Page 19 for an example of setting the analog output data source.
Calibration Mode Procedures Supplement The Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Procedures Supplement (NZ203) describes in detail all Tiger 320 Series meter related calibration procedures configured in the calibration mode.
Two-point Calibration

SP-A
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 31
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Adj.
ON-T
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
Example Procedure:
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
SP1 to activate from Channel 1 (CH1).
Relay to energize above SP1 value.
Relay to latch with manual relay reset.
See Setpoints and Relays Supplement (NZ201) for procedures to program all setpoint and relay operational levels (Level 1 to Level 3).

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system.
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 18 & 19)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 34)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 35)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 35)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
Page 36
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.
USING SETPOINTS TO INCREMENT AND RESET REGISTERS
Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the
meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.

Error Message [Error]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures.
The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the
the capability of

to +99999999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.
ERROR 1
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 17):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4,- total 1, and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming modes. All meter programming codes and
setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
Locked

The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 17):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen. However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 17):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].

The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits.
These are known as the first, second, and third digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite.

Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.

Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand pressing the button, the user is entering the main prog r a m m i n g mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5]. This is the display brightness mode and is the first sub-menu of the main programming mode.
Step 1
Step 2
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The only exception to this rule is when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in place of a digit, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one selection can be made.
The meters programming codes are divided into two modes:
the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode (See diagram below).
Each mode is accessible from the operational display.
Programming Tip
The easiest and fastest way to configure the Tiger 320 is to use a PC with the free downloadable configuration utility program.
Main Programming Mode
The main programming mode provides access to program all meter functions, except setpoints.

Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details.
Serial Communications Properties
Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement
(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module.
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Page 14
Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.
This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels 1 to 4.
See Linearization Table Notes on Page 28 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use.
Scale Analog Output
Selecting [CAL][25X] enters the Scale Analog Output Mode.
This mode allows you to calibrate and scale the analog output signal. Before calibrating the analog output in the calibration mode, the data source for the analog output must be configured in Code 1.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for further details on the analog output module.
Also see Configure Data Source Procedure on Page 19 for an example of setting the analog output data source.

[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Selecting 5 in the second digit enters a sub-menu and allows you to select the data from one of a number of meter registers as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the third digit.
The example procedure on Page 19 shows how to select the data source for the primary display. The three digits are set to [X50].
Display Format Second Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the second digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (Decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
The example procedure on Page 20 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the third digit selection.
Text Character Second Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the second digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
The example procedure on Page 21 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the third digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.

Setpoint Programming Mode Logic Diagram
Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 31
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
on time settings.
Single actuation, programmable DOM and

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
Example Procedure:
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
SP1 to activate from Channel 1 (CH1).
Relay to energize above SP1 value.
Relay to latch with manual relay reset.
See Setpoints and Relays Supplement (NZ201) for procedures to program all setpoint and relay operational levels (Level 1 to Level 3).

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system.
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 18 & 19)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 34)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 35)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 35)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
Page 36
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.
USING SETPOINTS TO INCREMENT AND RESET REGISTERS
Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the
meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.

Error Message [Err]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures. The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input
(full scale) signal
must be at least 1000 counts greater than
the low input (zero) signal (positive and
negative values are
allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter (19999
to +99999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 19) is connected to the COMMON pin (21) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 19 is disconnected from pin 21 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 20) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 21) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Five eights and five decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, total 1, and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 18 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 21 on the main PCB), both the main and setpoint programming modes
are locked out. All meter programming codes and setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 22) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 21), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/ relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPC_X] [X2X].
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 21).
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].

The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits.
These are known as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite.

To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps. The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:
Symbol
Explanation
The display showing 99999 represents the OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button.
In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand pressing the button, the user is entering the main programming mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first sub-menu of the main programming mode.
Step 1
Step 2
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The exceptions to this rule are when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check, or the Code Blanking and Macro Check.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.
and
[Span]
[10000]
Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.
Page 8
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in the description of a 3-digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.
The meters programming codes are divided into two modes:
the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode. (See diagram below).
Each mode is accessible from the operational display.
Programming Tip
The easiest and fastest way to configure the Tiger 320 is to use a PC with the free downloadable configuration utility program.

Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. The supplier has a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes CODE BLANKING & MACRO CHECK PROCEDURE and/or run a macro, the supplier programs the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

Related Calibration Functions
The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details.
Serial Communications Properties
Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement
(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module.
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
Page 14
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters.
Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.
This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels 1 to 4.
See Linearization Table Notes on Page 28 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use.

Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 31
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
on time settings.
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
time minimum on
settings.

Pulse OFF mode (Programmable OFF-time)
Single actuation, programmable off time
and DOB.
Repeat OFF Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable off and

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
Example Procedure:
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
See Setpoints and Relays Supplement (NZ201) for procedures to program all setpoint and relay operational levels (Level 1 to Level 3).
LEVEL 1 SETPOINT CONFIGURATION
SP1 to activate from Channel 1 (CH1).
Relay to energize above or below SP1 value.
Relay to latch with manual relay reset.

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system.
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 18 & 19)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 34)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 35)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 35)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
Page 36
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.

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).

See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Error Message [Error]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures.
The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were
too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter (19999 to +99999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect
connections.
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming modes. All meter programming codes and setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4,- total 1, and total 2 at

Digit
The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits. These are known as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite. To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps. The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:
Symbol
Explanation
The display showing 99999 represents the OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the docu-
mentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button. In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.
and
[Span]
[10000]
Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.
Page 8
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand button, the pressing the user is entering the main programming mode. This
is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first submenu of the main programming mode.
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The exceptions to this rule are when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check or the Code Blanking and Macro Check.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in the description of a 3 digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.
The meters programming codes are divided into two modes: the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode (See diagram below).
Each mode is accessible from the operational display.

Before configuring the meter, carry out the following meter configuration checks:
Model and software code version check.
Code blanking and macro check.
After powering-up the meter, check the model and software code version number and note this in your user manual.
Model and Software Code Version Check The meter model and software code version number can be checked at any time while in the operational display using the following procedure.

SOFTWARE CODE
VERSION CHECK
Example
Operational Display
Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, We program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting. CODE BLANKING & MACRO CHECK PROCEDURE

[CAL] - Calibration Modes for Input and Output continued [CAL] - Calibration Modes for Input and Output continued Related Calibration Functions
The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details.
Serial Communications Properties
Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement
(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module.
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer

See Code 1 diagram on Page 22 for a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digit settings.
See Code 10 diagram on Page 23 for a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digit settings.
Setpoint Annunciators Mode
The setpoint annunciators mode is configured by changing the first digit in Code 1. The setpoint annunciators can be configured to operate as follows:
On when the setpoint activates.
All annunciators are permanently on and each one only goes
off when its setpoint activates.
All annunciators are always off (See Note 1 on Code 1 diagram
on Page 22).
Setpoint 1 annunciator comes on indicating a rising signal.
Setpoint 2 annunciator comes on indicating a falling signal.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 29 shows how to select the setpoint annunciators to come ON when the setpoints are OFF (not active).
Update Display at Selected Sample Rate The meters default display update rate is 0.5 seconds and is set in the second digit of Code 1 as [X0X].
The display can be configured to update at the input signal sample rate selected in Code 2.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 29 shows
For these settings to take effect, the analog sample rate must be set at [2XX] in Code 2. See Code 2 Channel 1 Measurement Task and Sampling Rate on Page 27 for an example.
Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be configured to function exclusively as a manual loader by setting Code 1 to [X1X].
See Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for full details on manual loader mode functions.
Display Functions Mode
The display functions mode is configured by changing the 2nd and 3rd digits in Code 1:
Selecting [X5X] enters the Data Source sub-menu.
Selecting [X6X] enters the Display Format sub-menu.
Selecting [X7X] enters the Last Digit Text Character sub-menu.
Data Source 2nd Digit [X5X] The digital display is the primary display. The bargraph display is the secondary display.
To select the data source for the primary display select 5 in the 2nd digit and 0 in the 3rd digit [X50].
To select the data source for the secondary display select 5 in the 2nd digit and 1 in the 3rd digit [X51].
Selecting 5 in the 2nd digit enters a sub-menu and allows the data from one of a number of meter registers to be selected as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the third digit.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 21 shows how to select the data source for the primary display.
The three digits are set to [X50]. The same example can be used for selecting the data source for the secondary display (bargraph). The three digits are set to [X51].
The 2nd digit in Code 1 can also be used to select the data source for the remaining functions in the 3rd digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Display Format 2nd Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the 2nd digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (Decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 27 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the 3rd digit selection.
Page 17
Text Character 2nd Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the 2nd digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 23 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the 3rd digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must be set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.
Set Up Bargraph Scaling This mode is where the span range of the bargraph is scaled.
The span range of the bargraph can be set between 19999 to
99999 counts. There are three methods of scaling the bargraph:
Linear.
Via Linearization Table 1.
Logarithmic.
Selecting 3 in the 1st digit enters the Set Up Bargraph Scaling mode.
Linear Bargraph Scaling
The most common method of scaling the bargraph is through the Linear Bargraph Scaling sub-menu. In this menu the bar low, bar high, and bar nominal settings are set.
Bar Low [bAr_L] is the setting in counts required at the bottom of the bargraph.
Bar High [bAr_h] is the setting in counts required at the top of the bargraph.
Bar Nominal sets the point on the bargraph at which the bar begins to light up. This can be any position between and including the bar low and bar high settings.
If bar nominal is set to the bar low setting, the bargraph behaves like a typical bargraph making the segments light up from the bottom of the bar and grow towards the top.
If bar nominal is set to the bar high setting, this makes all segments from the displayed signal to the top of the bar light up. As the signal increases, the number of lit segments between the signal and the bar high setting becomes steadily less. When the signal reaches the bar high setting no segments are lit.
Bargraph Nominal Set Low or High
Setting bar nominal to the midpoint between bar low and bar high makes the bargraph behave like a typical center zero bargraph. This means the bargraph lights up at the center of the bar and moves either up or down the bar depending on the displayed signal.
Page 18
For example, if the meter's full scale range is 20,000 counts, the midpoint is 10,000 counts. If a signal of 10,000 counts is applied, only one segment at the 10,000 count mark lights up.
If a signal of 17,000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (10,000 counts) and the 17,000 count mark light up.
If a signal of 5000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (10,000 counts) and the 5000 count mark light up.
Typical Center Zero Bargraph
An added feature of this bargraph is that it can also be non-symmetrical. This means that the bar nominal setting does not need to be set at the mid-point between bar low and bar high. For example, if the bargraph is configured to display 200 to 800 C, bar low is set to 200 counts and bar high is set to
800 counts. Bar nominal is set to 0 counts. If a signal of 50 C is applied, the bar lights from 0 down to 50. If a signal of 600 C is applied, the bar lights from 0 up to 600.
Example Procedure. The
example procedure on
Page 25 shows how to scale the bargraph using linear scaling.
Non-symmetrical Zero
Bargraph
Bargraph Scaling using Linearization Table 1 When set in this mode, the register selected to be displayed on the bargraph display (Code 1 set to [XX1]) is first processed through a 32-point flexible linearization table (Table 1) before being displayed.
This can be used, for example, if channel 1 is the required digital display while the bargraph display is the square root of channel 1.
See Linearization Supplement (NZ207) for full details to set up linearization Table 1.
Selecting 3 in the 1st digit and 1 in the 3rd digit selects Bargraph scaling via Linearization Table 1.
Example Procedure. To scale the bargraph using Linearization Table 1, follow the Scale Bargraph using Linear Scaling Procedure on Page 25. Ensure the secondary (bargraph) display has been set up in Code 1 and Linearization Table 1 has been formatted and selected for the required application.
Logarithmic Bargraph Scaling
Logarithmic scales are used in a wide variety of measurements.
Probably the most well known logarithmic scale is the Richter scale for measuring earthquakes. Other log scales used include sound level (dB), radio frequency signals, power levels (dBm), and numerous radiation signals.
In all logarithmic scales a reference level is required that is the level at 0 dB. For example, in an RF measurement 0 dBm is at a reference of 1 mW.
The scale is calculated from:
10 log10
counts (input)
reference
If the meter is scaled so that:
1 mW = 100 counts and 1 W = 100,000 counts Then the reference for 0 dBm would be set to 100 counts:
10 log10
(input)
100
= 0 dBm
Decade
(Counts)
100
1000
10,000
100,000
1,000,000
dBm
20
10
Now every 10 dBm represents a decade, the bargraph can be scaled to a different amount of bars per decade (as set in the 3rd digit).
Example of Bars per Decade
Reference. This is the number of counts displayed for a 0 dB reference. Range: 1 to 99999 counts.
Bar Nominal. See Bar Nominal description under heading:
Linear Bargraph Scaling.
Selecting 3 in the 1st digit and 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 in the 3rd digit enters the Set Up Scaling for Logarithmic Bargraph sub-menu:
Selecting 3 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 10 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 4 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 20 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 5 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 25 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 6 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 33 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 7 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 50 Bar/Decade.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 26 shows how to scale the bargraph using example logarithmic settings.
Bargraph Display Format
After the bargraph colors have been set and the bargraph scaled, the display format can be set. This is normally the final setting. The 2nd digit selects the format of the bargraph display. There are four display format settings available:
Setpoints on Bar. Selecting [X0X] means that the setpoints are displayed on the bar as lit segments in the current display color. When the bargraph lights up on or beyond a setpoint, the setpoint segment goes out.
Example of Setpoints on Bargraph
Peak and Valley on Bar. Selecting [X1X] means that peak and valley are displayed as lit segments and are updated as they change. The setpoints are not displayed.
Min/Max with
Setpoints.
Selecting [X4X] means that the segments of the bar remain lit over the minimum and maximum signal variations. The setpoints are displayed as lit segments.
This is a useful mode for seeing process variations at a glance.
Note:
When moving from another display format to the Min/Max with Setpoints mode, the peak and valley settings must be set to the current settings by entering the Peak View mode or Valley View mode and pressing the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time.
Example: Peak and Valley on Bargraph
When moving from Min/Max with Setpoints mode to another display format, the bar nominal [bAr_n] setting must be reset to its original settings in Code 10 [3XX].
Bar Only. Selecting [X7X] means that only the bargraph display signal is displayed on the bar. Setpoints and peak and valley are not displayed.
Example: MIN and MAX on Bargraph

Setpoint Programming Mode Logic Diagram
Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 35
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
Example Procedure:
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
SP1 to activate from Channel 1 (CH1).
Relay to energize above or below SP1 value.
Relay to latch with manual relay reset.
See Setpoints and Relays Supplement (NZ201) for procedures to program all setpoint and relay operational levels (Level 1 to Level 3).

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system.
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 20 & 21)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 38)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 39)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 39)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
Page 40
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.
USING SETPOINTS TO INCREMENT AND RESET REGISTERS
Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the
meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.

Program Lockout Switch
When set to the ON position, the PROGRAM LOCKOUT switch prevents any programming changes being made to the meter.
If programming is attempted, the meter displays [LOC]. The ON position allows programming parameters to be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Setpoint Lockout Switch
When the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch is set to position 1, the setpoints can be programmed. Once the setpoint values have been entered and the SETPOINT LOCKOUT switch set to the ON position, the setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
See Display PCB without Faceplate and Bezel diagram.
Error Message [Error]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures.
The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were
too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter (19999 to +99999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect
connections.
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming modes. All meter programming codes and setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4,- total 1, and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 12) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/ relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPCX] [X2X].
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).

Digit
The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits. These are known as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite. To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps. The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:
Symbol
Explanation
The display showing 99999 represents the OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the docu-
mentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button. In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.
and
[Span]
[10000]
Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.
Page 8
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand button, the pressing the user is entering the main programming mode. This
is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first submenu of the main programming mode.
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The exceptions to this rule are when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check or the Code Blanking and Macro Check.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in the description of a 3 digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.
The meters programming codes are divided into two modes: the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode (See diagram below).
Each mode is accessible from the operational display.

Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, We program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting. CODE BLANKING & MACRO CHECK PROCEDURE

The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details.
Serial Communications Properties
Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement
(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module.
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer
Page 14
selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters.
Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.
This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels 1 to 4.
See Linearization Table Notes on Page 32 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use.
Scale Analog Output
Selecting [CAL][25X] enters the Scale Analog Output Mode.
This mode allows you to calibrate and scale the analog output signal. Before calibrating the analog output in the calibration mode, the data source for the analog output must be configured in Code 1.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for further details on the analog output module.
Also see Configure Data Source Procedure on Page 21 for an example of setting the analog output data source.

See Code 10 diagram on Page 23 for a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digit settings.
Setpoint Annunciators Mode
The setpoint annunciators mode is configured by changing the first digit in Code 1. The setpoint annunciators can be configured to operate as follows:
On when the setpoint activates.
All annunciators are permanently on and each one only goes
off when its setpoint activates.
All annunciators are always off (See Note 1 on Code 1 diagram
on Page 22).
Setpoint 1 annunciator comes on indicating a rising signal.
Setpoint 2 annunciator comes on indicating a falling signal.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 29 shows how to select the setpoint annunciators to come ON when the setpoints are OFF (not active).
Update Display at Selected Sample Rate The meters default display update rate is 0.5 seconds and is set in the second digit of Code 1 as [X0X].
The display can be configured to update at the input signal sample rate selected in Code 2.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 29 shows
For these settings to take effect, the analog sample rate must be set at [2XX] in Code 2. See Code 2 Channel 1 Measurement Task and Sampling Rate on Page 27 for an example.
Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be configured to function exclusively as a manual loader by setting Code 1 to [X1X].
See Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for full details on manual loader mode functions.
Display Functions Mode
The display functions mode is configured by changing the 2nd and 3rd digits in Code 1:
Selecting [X5X] enters the Data Source sub-menu.
Selecting [X6X] enters the Display Format sub-menu.
Selecting [X7X] enters the Last Digit Text Character sub-menu.
Data Source 2nd Digit [X5X] The digital display is the primary display. The bargraph display is the secondary display.
To select the data source for the primary display select 5 in the 2nd digit and 0 in the 3rd digit [X50].
To select the data source for the secondary display select 5 in the 2nd digit and 1 in the 3rd digit [X51].
Selecting 5 in the 2nd digit enters a sub-menu and allows the data from one of a number of meter registers to be selected as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the third digit.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 21 shows how to select the data source for the primary display.
The three digits are set to [X50]. The same example can be used for selecting the data source for the secondary display (bargraph). The three digits are set to [X51].
The 2nd digit in Code 1 can also be used to select the data source for the remaining functions in the 3rd digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Display Format 2nd Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the 2nd digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (Decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 27 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the 3rd digit selection.
Page 17
Text Character 2nd Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the 2nd digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 23 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the 3rd digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must be set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.
Set Up Bargraph Scaling This mode is where the span range of the bargraph is scaled.
The span range of the bargraph can be set between 19999 to
99999 counts. There are three methods of scaling the bargraph:
Linear.
Via Linearization Table 1.
Logarithmic.
Selecting 3 in the 1st digit enters the Set Up Bargraph Scaling mode.
Linear Bargraph Scaling
The most common method of scaling the bargraph is through the Linear Bargraph Scaling sub-menu. In this menu the bar low, bar high, and bar nominal settings are set.
Bar Low [bAr_L] is the setting in counts required at the bottom of the bargraph.
Bar High [bAr_h] is the setting in counts required at the top of the bargraph.
Bar Nominal sets the point on the bargraph at which the bar begins to light up. This can be any position between and including the bar low and bar high settings.
If bar nominal is set to the bar low setting, the bargraph behaves like a typical bargraph making the segments light up from the bottom of the bar and grow towards the top.
If bar nominal is set to the bar high setting, this makes all segments from the displayed signal to the top of the bar light up. As the signal increases, the number of lit segments between the signal and the bar high setting becomes steadily less. When the signal reaches the bar high setting no segments are lit.
Bargraph Nominal Set Low or High
Setting bar nominal to the midpoint between bar low and bar high makes the bargraph behave like a typical center zero bargraph. This means the bargraph lights up at the center of the bar and moves either up or down the bar depending on the displayed signal.
Page 18
For example, if the meter's full scale range is 20,000 counts, the midpoint is 10,000 counts. If a signal of 10,000 counts is applied, only one segment at the 10,000 count mark lights up.
If a signal of 17,000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (10,000 counts) and the 17,000 count mark light up.
If a signal of 5000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (10,000 counts) and the 5000 count mark light up.
Typical Center Zero Bargraph
An added feature of this bargraph is that it can also be non-symmetrical. This means that the bar nominal setting does not need to be set at the mid-point between bar low and bar high. For example, if the bargraph is configured to display 200 to 800 C, bar low is set to 200 counts and bar high is set to
800 counts. Bar nominal is set to 0 counts. If a signal of 50 C is applied, the bar lights from 0 down to 50. If a signal of 600 C is applied, the bar lights from 0 up to 600.
Example Procedure. The
example procedure on
Page 25 shows how to scale the bargraph using linear scaling.
Non-symmetrical Zero
Bargraph
Bargraph Scaling using Linearization Table 1 When set in this mode, the register selected to be displayed on the bargraph display (Code 1 set to [XX1]) is first processed through a 32-point flexible linearization table (Table 1) before being displayed.
This can be used, for example, if channel 1 is the required digital display while the bargraph display is the square root of channel 1.
See Linearization Supplement (NZ207) for full details to set up linearization Table 1.
Selecting 3 in the 1st digit and 1 in the 3rd digit selects Bargraph scaling via Linearization Table 1.
Example Procedure. To scale the bargraph using Linearization Table 1, follow the Scale Bargraph using Linear Scaling Procedure on Page 25. Ensure the secondary (bargraph) display has been set up in Code 1 and Linearization Table 1 has been formatted and selected for the required application.
Logarithmic Bargraph Scaling
Logarithmic scales are used in a wide variety of measurements.
Probably the most well known logarithmic scale is the Richter scale for measuring earthquakes. Other log scales used include sound level (dB), radio frequency signals, power levels (dBm), and numerous radiation signals.
In all logarithmic scales a reference level is required that is the level at 0 dB. For example, in an RF measurement 0 dBm is at a reference of 1 mW.
The scale is calculated from:
10 log10
counts (input)
reference
If the meter is scaled so that:
1 mW = 100 counts and 1 W = 100,000 counts Then the reference for 0 dBm would be set to 100 counts:
10 log10
(input)
100
= 0 dBm
Decade
(Counts)
100
1000
10,000
100,000
1,000,000
dBm
20
10
Now every 10 dBm represents a decade, the bargraph can be scaled to a different amount of bars per decade (as set in the 3rd digit).
Example of Bars per Decade
Reference. This is the number of counts displayed for a 0 dB reference. Range: 1 to 99999 counts.
Bar Nominal. See Bar Nominal description under heading:
Linear Bargraph Scaling.
Selecting 3 in the 1st digit and 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 in the 3rd digit enters the Set Up Scaling for Logarithmic Bargraph sub-menu:
Selecting 3 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 10 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 4 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 20 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 5 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 25 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 6 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 33 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 7 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 50 Bar/Decade.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 26 shows how to scale the bargraph using example logarithmic settings.
Bargraph Display Format
After the bargraph colors have been set and the bargraph scaled, the display format can be set. This is normally the final setting. The 2nd digit selects the format of the bargraph display. There are four display format settings available:
Setpoints on Bar. Selecting [X0X] means that the setpoints are displayed on the bar as lit segments in the current display color. When the bargraph lights up on or beyond a setpoint, the setpoint segment goes out.
Example of Setpoints on Bargraph
Peak and Valley on Bar. Selecting [X1X] means that peak and valley are displayed as lit segments and are updated as they change. The setpoints are not displayed.
Min/Max with
Setpoints.
Selecting [X4X] means that the segments of the bar remain lit over the minimum and maximum signal variations. The setpoints are displayed as lit segments.
This is a useful mode for seeing process variations at a glance.
Note:
When moving from another display format to the Min/Max with Setpoints mode, the peak and valley settings must be set to the current settings by entering the Peak View mode or Valley View mode and pressing the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time.
Example: Peak and Valley on Bargraph
When moving from Min/Max with Setpoints mode to another display format, the bar nominal [bAr_n] setting must be reset to its original settings in Code 10 [3XX].
Bar Only. Selecting [X7X] means that only the bargraph display signal is displayed on the bar. Setpoints and peak and valley are not displayed.
Example: MIN and MAX on Bargraph

Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 35
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
on time settings.
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
time minimum on
settings.
Adj.
DOM
Normally ON / Pulsed OFF Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally on and pulses off when the setpoint activates.
Single actuation, programmable minimum
off time and DOB settings.
Page 36
Pulse OFF mode (Programmable OFF-time)
Single actuation, programmable off time
and DOB.
Repeat OFF Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable off and
on time settings.
Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
Example Procedure:
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
SP1 to activate from Channel 1 (CH1).
Relay to energize above or below SP1 value.
Relay to latch with manual relay reset.
See Setpoints and Relays Supplement (NZ201) for procedures to program all setpoint and relay operational levels (Level 1 to Level 3).

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system.
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 20 & 21)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 38)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 39)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 39)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
Page 40
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.
USING SETPOINTS TO INCREMENT AND RESET REGISTERS
Input Signal Pins 1 to 6 See the I-Series Input Modules Guide (Z87) for connection details of all input modules. On most single input signal conditioners, usually Pin 1 is the signal high pin (Hi +) and Pin 3 is the signal low pin (Lo ).
Function Pins Pins 8 to 15 Pin 8 Program Lock. By connecting the PROGRAM LOCK pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), the PROGRAM LOCK pin allows the meter's programmed parameters to be viewed but not changed.
Pin 9 Hold Reading. By connecting the HOLD READING pin to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the HOLD READING pin allows the
meter's display to be frozen. However, A/D conversions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 the updated reading is instantly displayed.
Pin 10 Display Test and Reset. The DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin provides a test of the meter's display and resets the microprocessor when the DISPLAY TEST and RESET pin is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).
Pin 11 Common. To activate the HOLD, TEST and RESET, or LOCKOUT pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin.
Pins 14/15 AC/DC Power Input. These are the pins that supply power to the meter. See Power Supply for details of the standard and optional low voltage power supply.
Chassis Ground Tab. Only on versions with metal sheath casing.

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).

Error Message [Err]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures.
The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the low input
(zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter (19999 to +99999).
3) No input signal present, or incor-
rect connections.
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (11) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 11 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 11 on the main PCB), locks out the main and setpoint programming modes. All meter programming codes and setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 10) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 11) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Six eights and six decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4,- total 1, and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 12) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/ relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPCX] [X2X].
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 11).

The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits. These are known as the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite. To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps.
The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:
Operational Display
Symbol
Explanation
The digital display showing 99999 represents the OPERATIONAL DISPLAY.
After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button. In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram to the right shows the meter in the operational display.
With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand pressing the button, the user is entering the main programming mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first submenu of the main programming mode.
Step 1
Step 2
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The only exception to this rule is when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.
and
[Span]
[10000]
Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.
If an X appears in the description of a 3-digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.

Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Page 10
Code Blanking and Macro Check
320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. We have a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes and/or run a macro, we will program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

Display Brightness Mode
The display brightness mode is accessed when entering the main programming mode. It allows you to adjust the brightness of the display LEDs and setpoint annunciators without interfering with other configuration settings. It is always available, even with the PROGRAM LOCK switch set to ON, or the external LOCK pin connected to the COMMON pin, locking out the programming modes.

[CAL] - Calibration Modes for Input and Output continued [CAL] - Calibration Modes for Input and Output continued Related Calibration Functions
The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details.
Serial Communications Properties
Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement
(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module.
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 16 shows how to configure channel 1 (CH1) with an averaging sample rate of 10 counts and an averaging window of 1000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 10000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.

CODE 1 Digital Display Configuration
CODE 10 Bargraph Display Configuration
Setpoint Annunciators Mode
The setpoint annunciators mode is configured by changing the first digit in Code 1. The setpoint annunciators can be configured to operate as follows:
On when the setpoint activates.
All annunciators are permanently on and each one only goes
off when its setpoint activates.
All annunciators are always off (See Note 1 on Code 1 diagram
on Page 20).
Setpoint 1 annunciator comes on indicating a rising signal.
Setpoint 2 annunciator comes on indicating a falling signal.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 25 shows how to select the setpoint annunciators to come ON when the setpoints are OFF (not active).
Update Display at Selected Sample Rate The meters default display update rate is 0.5 seconds and is
Page 16
set in the second digit of Code 1 as [X0X].
The display can be configured to update at the input signal sample rate selected in Code 2.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 25 shows how to configure the display to update at 50 samples per second by setting Code 1 to [X2X].
For these settings to take effect, the analog sample rate must be set at [2XX] in Code 2. See Code 2 Channel 1 Measurement Task and Sampling Rate on Page 29 for an example.
Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be configured to function exclusively as a manual loader by setting Code 1 to [X1X].
See Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for full details on manual loader mode functions.
Display Functions Mode
The display functions mode is configured by changing the 2nd and 3rd digits in Code 1:
Selecting [X5X] enters the Data Source sub-menu.
Selecting [X6X] enters the Display Format sub-menu.
Selecting [X7X] enters the Last Digit Text Character sub-menu.
Data Source 2nd Digit [X5X] The digital display is the primary display. The bargraph display is the secondary display.
To select the data source for the primary display select 5 in the 2nd digit and 0 in the 3rd digit [X50].
To select the data source for the secondary display select 5 in the 2nd digit and 1 in the 3rd digit [X51].
Selecting 5 in the 2nd digit enters a sub-menu and allows the data from one of a number of meter registers to be selected as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the third digit.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to select the data source for the primary display.
The three digits are set to [X50]. The same example can be used for selecting the data source for the secondary display (bargraph). The three digits are set to [X51].
The 2nd digit in Code 1 can also be used to select the data source for the remaining functions in the 3rd digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Display Format 2nd Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the 2nd digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (Decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 23 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the 3rd digit selection.
Text Character 2nd Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the 2nd digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 24 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the 3rd digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must be set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.
CODE 10 Bargraph Display Configuration Set Up Bargraph Colors This mode is where the colors of the bargraph relative to the setpoints are set. Tri-color bargraphs use the following three colors:
Green.
Orange.
Red.
The bargraph colors are not applied to specific setpoints. They are applied to whichever setpoint is configured at the lowest setting, and then to each next highest setpoint in turn.
Only one color is displayed on the bargraph at any time. As the signal changes, the color selected for the most recently activated setpoint displays
Only setpoints with the same source data as the bargraph are displayed.
If all six setpoints are used the colors are set as follows:
Color 1. Color BELOW lowest setpoint.
This is the bargraph color before it
reaches a setpoint.
Color 2. Color ABOVE lowest setpoint
and BELOW the next highest.
Color 3. Color ABOVE the 2nd lowest setpoint and BELOW the next highest.
Color 4. Color ABOVE the 3rd lowest setpoint and BELOW the next highest.
Color 5. Color ABOVE the 4th lowest setpoint and BELOW the next highest.
Color 6. Color ABOVE the 5th lowest setpoint and BELOW the next highest.
Color 7. Color ABOVE the highest set-
point.
Example of
Bargraph Colors
Any one of the colors (green, orange, red, or OFF meaning no color) can be applied to each color setting (See Example:
Bargraph Colors diagram above). Selecting 2 in the 1st digit enters the Set Up Bargraph Colors mode. Selections for the 2nd and 3rd digits are not relevant at this point.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 26 shows how to configure the bargraph colors.
Set Up Bargraph Scaling This mode is where the span range of the bargraph is scaled.
The span range of the bargraph can be set between 19999 to
99999 counts. There are three methods of scaling the bargraph:
Linear.
Via Linearization Table 1.
Logarithmic.
Selecting 3 in the 1st digit enters the Set Up Bargraph Scaling mode.
Linear Bargraph Scaling
The most common method of scaling the bargraph is through the Linear Bargraph Scaling sub-menu. In this menu the bar low, bar high, and bar nominal settings are set.
Bar Low [bAr_L] is the setting in counts required at the bottom of the bargraph.
Bar High [bAr_h] is the setting in counts required at the top of
the bargraph.
Bar Nominal sets the point on the bargraph at which the bar begins to light up. This can be any position between and including the bar low and bar high settings.
If bar nominal is set to the bar low setting, the bargraph behaves like a typical bargraph making the segments light up from the bottom of the bar and grow towards the top.
If bar nominal is set to the bar high setting, this makes all segments from the displayed signal to the top of the bar light up. As the signal increases, the number of lit segments between the signal and the bar high setting becomes steadily less. When the signal reaches the bar high setting no segments are lit.
Bargraph Nominal Set Low or High
Setting bar nominal to the midpoint between bar low and bar high makes the bargraph behave like a typical center zero bargraph. This means the bargraph lights up at the center of the bar and moves either up or down the bar depending on the displayed signal.
For example, if the meter's full scale range is 20,000 counts, the midpoint is 10,000 counts. If a signal of 10,000 counts is applied, only one segment at the 10,000 count mark lights up. If a signal of 17,000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (10,000 counts) and the 17,000 count mark light up.
If a signal of 5000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (10,000 counts) and the 5000 count mark light up.
Typical Center Zero Bargraph
An added feature of this bargraph is that it can also be non-symmetrical. This means that the bar nominal setting does not need to be set at the mid-point between bar low and bar high. For example, if the bargraph is configured to display 200 to 800 C, bar low is set to 200 counts and bar high is set to
800 counts. Bar nominal is set to 0 counts. If a signal of 50 C is applied, the bar lights from 0 down to 50. If a signal of 600 C is applied, the bar lights from 0 up to 600.
Page 17
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 27 shows how to scale the bargraph using linear scaling.
Non-symmetrical Zero
Bargraph
Bargraph Scaling using Linearization Table 1 When set in this mode, the register selected to be displayed on the bargraph display (Code 1 set to [XX1]) is first processed through a 32-point flexible linearization table (Table 1) before being displayed.
This can be used, for example, if channel 1 is the required digital display while the bargraph display is the square root of channel 1.
See Linearization Supplement (NZ207) for full details to set up linearization Table 1.
Selecting 3 in the 1st digit and 1 in the 3rd digit selects Bargraph scaling via Linearization Table 1.
Example Procedure. To scale the bargraph using Linearization Table 1, follow the Scale Bargraph using Linear Scaling Procedure on Page 27. Ensure the secondary (bargraph) display has been set up in Code 1 and Linearization Table 1 has been formatted and selected for the required application.
Logarithmic Bargraph Scaling
Logarithmic scales are used in a wide variety of measurements.
Probably the most well known logarithmic scale is the Richter scale for measuring earthquakes. Other log scales used include sound level (dB), radio frequency signals, power levels (dBm), and numerous radiation signals.
In all logarithmic scales a reference level is required that is the level at 0 dB. For example, in an RF measurement 0 dBm is at a reference of 1 mW.
The scale is calculated from:
10 log10
counts (input)
reference
If the meter is scaled so that:
1 mW = 100 counts and 1 W = 100,000 counts Then the reference for 0 dBm would be set to 100 counts:
(input)
100
10 log10
Decade
(Counts)
100
1000
10,000
100,000
1,000,000
= 0 dBm
dBm
20
10
Now every 10 dBm represents a decade, the bargraph can be scaled to a different amount of bars per decade (as set in the 3rd digit).
Page 18
Example of Bars per Decade
Reference. This is the number of counts displayed for a 0 dB reference. Range: 1 to 99999 counts.
Bar Nominal. See Bar Nominal description under heading:
Linear Bargraph Scaling.
Selecting 3 in the 1st digit and 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 in the 3rd digit enters the Set Up Scaling for Logarithmic Bargraph sub-menu:
Selecting 3 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 10 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 4 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 20 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 5 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 25 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 6 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 33 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 7 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 50 Bar/Decade.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 28 shows how to scale the bargraph using example logarithmic settings.
Bargraph Display Format
After the bargraph colors have been set and the bargraph scaled, the display format can be set. This is normally the final setting. The 2nd digit selects the format of the bargraph display.
There are four display format settings available:
Setpoints on Bar. Selecting [X0X] means that the setpoints are displayed on the bar as lit segments in the current display color.
When the display color changes, the setpoint segments change to that color. When the bargraph lights up on or beyond a setpoint, the setpoint segment goes out.
Example of Setpoints on Bargraph
Peak and Valley on Bar. Selecting [X1X] means that peak and valley are displayed as lit segments and are updated as they change. The setpoints are not displayed.
Min/Max with Setpoints. Selecting [X4X] means that the segments of the bar remain lit over the minimum and maximum signal variations. The setpoints are displayed as lit segments.
This is a useful mode for seeing process varia-
tions at a glance.
Note:
When moving from another display format to the Min/Max with Setpoints mode, the peak and valley settings must be set to the current settings by entering the Peak View mode or Valley View mode and pressing the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time.
Example:
Peak and
Valley on
Bargraph
When moving from Min/Max with Setpoints mode to another display format, the bar nominal [bAr_n] setting must be reset to its original settings in Code 10 [3XX].
Bar Only. Selecting [X7X] means that only the bargraph display signal is displayed on the bar.
Setpoints and peak and valley are not displayed.
Example: MIN and MAX on Bargraph

PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable

Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable

1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.

Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.

Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Repeat OFF Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable off and on time settings.
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,144 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system.
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 20 & 22)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 41)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 42)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 42)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
Page 42
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.

A combination of modular hardware and software resources enable Tiger 320 Series Programmable Meter Controllers
(PMCs) to be easily configured as a cost effective solution for the most simple or the most complex of applications.
A review of your Projects objectives, its physical layout, the proposed sensors and control outputs will enable you to select the optimum configuration of the Tiger 320 PMCs unique hardware and software capabilities.
Input Signals & Sensors 4-20 mA or Sensor Direct Unless sensors are located at a far distance, the greatest accuracy and best performance is usually obtained by connecting sensors directly to the Tiger 320, which will then function as the primary measurement device.
There are more than 20 Tiger compatible input signal conditioning modules, with the appropriate excitation outputs, to suit almost any type of sensor or combinations of up to 4 sensors.
In most cases, sensors with a 4-20 mA output are more costly, and when a separate 4-20 mA transmitter is used, signal conversion, drift, and calibration inaccuracies are introduced.
Some Tiger input modules combine direct sensor inputs with 4-20 mA inputs, enabling both local and far distant sensor inputs to be combined.
Sensor Linearization or Compensation The performance of many sensors can be greatly enhanced or expanded with linearization and or compensation.
Sensors may be compensated for temperature, frequency, altitude, humidity and mechanical position, to name just a few parameters.
Tiger PMCs with 32 kilobits or more of memory provide up to four 32-point user defined linearization tables or one combined 25-point table.
Many compensation methods can be implemented with the standard cross channel math capabilities of the Tigers 32-bit operating system. Complex three-dimensional compensation can also be implemented using the
powerful macro programming capability.
The serial number and calibration date of a sensor can be loaded into the meter. The serial number, linearization tables, and compensation factors of a newly calibrated sensor can then be saved for future reloading, either serially through a PC or directly through the web via an Ethernet port.
Although there are numerous input modules with combinations of various input signals, some inputs such as watts or pH are provided on input modules dedicated to a single function. Combining these inputs with each other signals two or more Tiger meters can serially communicate, and be configured to share their data and processing resources.
Display Options
Tiger PMCs have a large range of display options, including digital and alphanumeric LCDs, LEDs and Touch Panel HMIs.
LED or LCD Displays LED displays are a lower cost and popular display option.
They operate over the largest temperature range, have better viewing angles and viewing distances, and have the longest operational life. However, red LEDs are difficult to read in direct sunlight without a shade hood and consume more power. Green LEDs and backlit LCD displays can be more easily read in direct sunlight.
The Tiger range can be ordered with red or green LEDs. LCD displays are also available, with or without backlighting.
Numeric or Alphanumeric Displays Generally, numeric displays are a lower cost option than alphanumeric displays. The Tiger range supports a full 7segment numeric and 4-segment alphanumeric alphabet of English letters and Arabic numerals. Where complex text messaging or alarm annunciation is required, we recommend using the 4-segment alphanumeric option.
Single or Multiple Display The Tiger meter has four input channels and can be configured to display many different inputs or results. These can be viewed constantly on the operational display, or on demand in one of the view modes by pressing a button. Some applications require multiple values to be displayed simultaneously. With single, dual, or triple displays, and single displays with 5 or 0-segment bargraph combinations, we have a large range of display options to choose from.
Tiger meters can communicate with each other to share their data and processing resources and be stack or twin mounted to provide a wider range of display options.
Stack mounting
for greater display
options
Twin or triple mounting for greater display options
Push Button or Membrane Touch Pads Tiger PMCs are shipped as standard with high usage hard plastic push buttons. An optional clear lens cover that opens on a cam hinge with a key lock can provide full NEMA 4 or IP65 dust and water proofing. Alternatively, an optional membrane touch pad faceplate can be ordered.
PLANNING
TIP
Faceplates can be
customized to suit any OEM application, and
be quickly produced in large or small quantities for push buttons or membrane touch pads.
Electromechanical Relays or Solid State Control Outputs
Tiger PMCs have a wide selection of control outputs to chose from. The decision on which control output to
choose depends on the current and the switching frequency.
Electromechanical relays are a popular choice for most control outputs. Tiger output modules are available with combinations of two 0 amp form C and two to six 5 amp form A relays that can be used to directly drive fractional HP motors or actua-
tors.
The limitation of electromechanical relays is switching speed. If a relay needs to operate in less than 30 mS, or be cycled faster than.5 cpm, it is advisable to select an output module with solid state relays (SSR) or open collector outputs (OC), that can drive external high current SSRs.

GI-50EB0 320 DS (NZ309)
PID or On/Off Control Depending on the process to be controlled, either PID or on/ off control should be selected. If the process variables are reasonably consistent, then the on/off control is generally more than adequate and easier to implement. Super smart setpoint control software supports many selectable functions, such as Hi or Lo activation, Latching, Hysteresis, Tracking, Register Resetting and 7 Multi-function internal Timers on all setpoints.
Control systems with large lag and lead times are not suitable for on/off control and tend to overshoot and undershoot.
PLANNING
PID is needed to stabilize and control these systems. One TIP of the many powerful setpoint functions provided by the Tiger 320 Operating System is single or dual PID.
Retransmission 0-10V or 4-20mA Tiger PMCs can have an optional single (0-0 V or 0/4-20 mA) or dual (0-0 V) analog output module installed. The isolated 6-bit output is fully scalable and highly accurate.
With a compliance of up to 500 at 20mA, the 4-20 mA output can be used over very long distances and still drive more than one output device, such as a PID controlled valve positioner.
The analog outputs can be reversed to output 20mA to 4/0 or 0 to 0VDC. They can be scaled across any portion of the digital range, up to full scale. The output can be programmed to swing 0 to 20mA or 0 to 0V in one digital count to drive external logic or SSRs as additional setpoints. Under Macro Program Control, the analog outputs can be programmed to produce pulses or even sinewaves.
I/O Logic, Rear Panel or Breakout Box The Tiger Operating System has many built-in logic functions that can be used to develop sophisticated control systems. The Tiger PMC has three logic inputs/outputs available via the LOCK, HOLD, and CAPTURE pins, and three logic I/Os are available for input module use via pins D, D2 and D3.
More complex I/O intensive applications require an opto-isolated I/O plug-in module, which supports six inputs and up to 6 outputs. This module can connect to an external Breakout Box that is DIN Rail mountable with screw terminal blocks. There are also compatible DIN Rail mounting electromechanical relays and SSR modules.
6 Inputs & 16 Outputs or 6 Inputs & 6 Outputs
Fully Programmable
The easiest way to configure or program a Tiger PMC is with the free user-friendly Configuration or Macro Development Software.
Serial I/O is provided via an optional Plug-in output carrier board, which supports RS-232 or RS-485 output modules. If serial I/O is not required by the application, the serial carrier board can be removed for reuse. The Tiger 320 Operating System supports several serial protocols, including ASCII, Modbus RTU and Print Mode (which includes a printer driver and support for direct meter to meter communications). Also supported is DeviceNet, which requires a special dedicated carrier board, and Ethernet (TCP/IP), which requires an external converter box.
RS-232 or RS-485
Except for DeviceNet, all serial communication modes supported by the Tiger can function with either RS-232 or RS-
485. The limitations of RS-232 are that only one meter at a time can be connected to the serial port of a computer, and the distance from the computer to the meter is limited in practical
terms to around 30 meters (00 feet).
Up to 32 meters can be connected on an RS-485 bus. The differential current drive of the RS-485 bus ensures signal PLANNING integrity in the most harsh environments to distances up TIP to 230 meters (4000 feet). However, RS-485 generally requires a special RS-485 output card to be installed in the computer or an external RS-232 to RS-485 converter has to be used.
Select the Communication Mode Best Suited to Your Application:
Modbus (RTU)
Modbus is widely used in industry. It has a large base, and most SCADA and HMI software packages support it. See also Modbus Wrapped in Ethernet (Modbus/TCP) below.
There are 00s of HMI Touch Panel Screens that are compatible with the Tiger 320 Modbus interface.
ASCII
The meter configuration utility program and the development software use the ASCII protocol. The ASCII protocol allows you to write your own driver for your own application via the development software and should provide the quickest development time.
Print Mode
This is an ASCII based printer driver output that enables the serial port to be directly connected to any serial printer with Epson compatibility.
Printer output can be configured to occur from a setpoint
or on demand, and can be date or time stamped.
The print mode can also be used for computer data logging applications. The meter can be connected directly to a computer, set up in Microsoft Hyperterminal mode, with the meter programmed to output directly into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format. (Also see Data Logging).
Print Mode for Meter to Meter Communication Two or more Tiger PMCs can be connected together allowing data to be transferred from the master meter (in print mode) to the slave meter (in ASCII mode). This enables the meters to share input data and control output functions.
Master Mode
This mode is for use with macro programming to expand the meter to meter communication capability to multiples of Tiger PMCs. This is useful for building an entire system of Tiger PMCs, DECISION
sharing information and control output resources.
Ethernet
Ethernet has become a popular automation and control protocol. We supply an ethernet output option and several external ethernet converters that are compatible with the serial outputs of Tiger PMCs.
Ethernet ASCII Wrap - The ethernet output carrier board option wraps the ASCII output into the Ethernet protocol, and provides a T-base 0/00 Ethernet output socket.
This allows the Configuration Utility Program or the Macro Development Software to run over a standard Ethernet network.
This enables the Tiger meter to be configured or macro programmed from anywhere in the world via the web.
Up to 32 Tiger PMCs can be connected by RS-485 to a single Ethernet Converter, which will support up to 32 separate IP addresses.
Ethernet Modbus Wrap - This converter accepts the Tiger PMCs modbus protocol and outputs Modbus/TCP through an Ethernet T-base 0 port. This has become a standard for Ethernet on the factory floor. Many SCADA and HMI software packages connect directly to Modbus/TCP.

Planning to Harness the Power of Tiger 320 Programmable Meter Controllers continued Planning to Use the Tiger 320 Series of Programmable Meter Controllers continued The Configuration Utility requires that an RS-232 interface board be installed in a Tiger 320 for programming.
However, if the final application does not require a serial output, the RS-232 board can be easily removed, after programming is completed, and kept for future use.
DeviceNet
DeviceNet was originally developed by Allen Bradley to connect sensors from the factory floor to PLCs. It is a deterministic real-time system, typically used to connect to networks using Allen Bradley PLCs. An optional carrier board is required for DeviceNet which replaces the standard serial output with a dedicated DeviceNet output connector.
The Tiger 320 Operating System has built-in, sophisticated data logging software. Data logging can be triggered from the PROGRAM button, digital inputs, time or alarm functions. Up to MB of optional extra on-board memory provides a powerful, multichannel data capture and acquisition system.
Tiger PMCs can be configured to log in an endless loop, overwriting the oldest data first and utilizing the maximum amount of memory available. Similar to the Black Box on an aircraft, the data can be downloaded for analysis after
a problem event occurs.
Data logging can be combined with an Ethernet converter to provide an individual Web Page with data that can be accessed by a browser over the internet.
Real-time Clock
The Tiger meter has an optional real-time clock with a 5 year lithium battery backup, ensuring that time information is not lost in the event of a power failure. It can be configured in
2 or 24-hour modes for printing and data logging applications.
Other applications of the real-time clock include activating a setpoint or control action at fixed times of the hour, day, PLANNING week, month or year. TIP
For long term data logging, a Flash Card Memory Module that plugs in to the carrier board output socket is available. Flash Cards are available from 4 to 28 meg. They can be removed and read by a standard card reader, or the data can be downloaded through the serial port or over the internet with an Ethernet converter. The module also has an SSR setpoint output to trigger an external event.
With a serial output module installed, Tiger 320 PMCs are most easily configured using the Tiger 320 Configuration Utility, which can be downloaded free from the web and run on any Windows-based PC. The utility also enables the user to access some special capabilities of the Tiger
320 which cannot be programmed manually by the front panel buttons.
When a Tiger 320 is to be used in a custom application, the utility enables all or any of the front panel programming functions to be disabled (code blanking).
Customized descriptive text can also be entered to appear with any setpoint action or event.
Different configurations can be stored in a PC for fast downloading into a meter by the user. Custom configurations can also be issued a serial number and
preloaded at the factory.
Custom Macro Programming
This powerful, easy to use development system enables programs to be written in BASIC, utilizing any combination of the hundreds of functions and thousands of registers embedded in the Tiger 320 Operating System. When your Basic program is compiled into the Tiger 320 Macro-language it is error checked and optimized. There are also numerous off-the-shelf application specific programs available. Many only need the blanks to be filled in to use them and do not require any knowledge of BASIC programming.
Macro in the
writing stage
Macros are useful when implementing any specialized control system that cannot be achieved by the standard configuration capability of the Tiger 320 Operating System. Using the development software, functions can be altered or added in a standard meter to perform the required job. This may typically include logic sequencing functions and mathematical functions.
Developing a Macro is much easier and quicker than programming a PLC, because the basic code required to customize the Tiger meter is considerably less than the ladder logic programming required for PLCs. This is due to the hundreds of functions built into the Tiger meter that can be manipulated or invoked by a macro, to fulfill the requirements of almost any application.
S c r o l l i n g annunciator
m e s s a g e s can be pro-
grammed to appear with any setpoint activation, selected events or logic inputs. Easy to read, plain text prompts can be programmed to replace the manual programming codes and provide a user-friendly interface for any custom application.

Configuration Utility Program
The Easiest and Fastest Way to Configure the Tiger 320 is to Use a PC with the Free Downloadable Configuration Utility Program The diagrams and instructions provided in this data sheet / user manual are intended to enable the Tiger meter to be configured and programmed manually using the front panel buttons. A system of Programming Codes is required to facilitate this type of manual programming and these are explained in detail with diagrams and examples.
However, when the Tiger meter is configured and programmed via the optional RS-232 serial port and a PC using the Configuration Utility, the system of Programming Codes is bypassed. The Configuration Utility enables all the programming options to be clearly identified by their functions for direct on-screen selection. The Configuration Utility requires that an RS-232 interface board be installed in a Tiger 320 for programming. However, if the final application does not require a serial output, the RS-232 board can be easily removed, after programming is completed, and kept for future use.
The Configuration Utility Program (which may be freely downloaded from the web) is designed to simplify and speed up the configuration and programming of any Tiger 320. Pull down menus facilitate the selection of different options and the assignment of values. A Help explanation is provided just by holding the cursor over any function box.
The configuration utility enables the user to access some special capabilities of the Tiger 320 which cannot be selected manually by the front panel buttons.
Easy Installation of Linearization Tables
The configuration utility facilitates the storage and downloading of complex linearization tables. Tables can be created in any mathematical or spreadsheet program, and copied into the utility. Linearization tables can be created to precisely match a particular sensor so that they can be installed and downloaded as part of an annual calibration procedure.
Easy Setpoint Configuration
Code Blanking
When a custom configuration is created for any specialized application, the Tiger 320 can be programmed to blank out and disable all or any manual programming codes that you do not wish the user to be able to view or access by de-selecting them in the appropriate check box.
Display Text Editing
The meter can be programmed to display customized text to appear for any setpoint or event to suit any application requirements.
The Tiger 320 supports an incredible range of setpoint options and functions. The utility makes is quick and easy to select and download any combination you may require.
Configuration Data Copying and Loading
The configuration utility program allows you to store a record of a meters configuration for later referral, or for the restoration of a desired configuration. Macros can be combined with a configuration file so they can be downloaded together and locked at the same time. When a file is locked after downloading, it cannot be copied. It can only be erased and reloaded from a master file.
Also included is the ability for the user to make notes about the configuration that can be stored as part of the file.

Error Message [Err]
Error messages usually
occur during calibration
procedures. The three most likely causes of an error message are:
) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input (full scale) signal must be at least 000 counts greater than the low input (zero) signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter
(9999 to +99999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 7):
Reset channel [XX].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 9) is connected to the COMMON pin (2) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 9 is disconnected from pin 2 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 7):
Reset channel [XX].
Reset total and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 20) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 2) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Five eights and five decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 7):
Reset counter channel and total 2 at power-up [XX].
Reset counters, CH, CH2, CH3, CH4, total , and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Reset total and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 22) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 2), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/ relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPC_X] [X2X]
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 2).
Lock Pin
By configuring Coe 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 8 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 2 on the main PCB), both the main and setpoint programming modes are locked out. All meter programming codes and setpoints can be viewed but not changed.

The meter uses a set of intuitive software codes to allow maximum user flexibility while maintaining an easy programming process.
To configure the meters programming codes, the meter uses the three right-hand side display digits.
These are known as the first, second, and third digits and can be seen in the diagram opposite.
First
Digit
Second
Digit
Third

To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps. The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:
Symbol
Explanation
The display showing 99999 represents the OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand pressing the button, the user is entering the main programming mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first sub-menu of the main programming mode.
Step 1
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button.
In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this buttons can indicates that both the be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.
and
[Span]
[10000]
Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.
Step 2
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The exceptions to this rule are when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check, or the Code Blanking and Macro Check.
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in the description of a 3digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.

Before configuring the meter, carry out the following meter configuration checks:
Model and software code version check.
Code blanking and macro check.
After powering-up the meter, check the model and software code version number and note this in your user manual.
Model and Software Code Version Check The meter model and software code version number can be checked at any time while in the operational display using the following procedure.
START HERE
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Texmate Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. Texmate has a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the Texmate BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Texmate Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes CODE BLANKING & MACRO CHECK PROCEDURE and/or run a macro, Texmate program the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement (NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module. (See page 3 for more information).
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][2X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value. When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
See Input Signal Sampling Showing Averaging Window diagram opposite.
Example Procedure
The example procedure on Page 24 shows how to configure channel (CH) with an averaging sample rate of 0 counts and an averaging window of 000 counts.
Totalizer Settings
Selecting [CAL][23X] enters the Totalizer Settings Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the settings for the totalizer selected in the 3rd digit. An input value of 0000 counts is applied to a selectable time period to produce the required total value.
The cutoff is a programmable limit below which the input is not totalized.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Totalizing and Batching Supplement (NZ208) for further details on K factor and totalizer cutoff parameters. (See page
3 for more information).
Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Selecting [CAL][24X] enters the Setup 32-point Linearization Tables Mode.
This mode allows you to set up the linearization table or tables using the manual or auto setup modes. The table or tables can then be selected to linearize the signals on channels to 4.
See Linearization Table Notes on Page 43 for a description of memory related issues with linearization.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Linearizing Supplement (NZ207) for further details on linearization table setup and use. (See page 3 for more information).
Scale Analog Output
Selecting [CAL][25X] enters the Scale Analog Output Mode.
This mode allows you to calibrate and scale the analog output signal. Before calibrating the analog output in the calibration mode, the data source for the analog output must be configured in Code .
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 21 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.

Text Character 2nd Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the 2nd digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 33 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the 3rd digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must be set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.
Set Up Bargraph Colors This mode is where the colors of the bargraph relative to the setpoints are set. Tri-color bargraphs use the following three colors:
Green.
Orange.
Red.
The bargraph colors are not applied to specific setpoints. They are applied to whichever setpoint is configured at the lowest setting, and then to each next highest setpoint in turn.
Only one color is displayed on the bargraph at any time. As the signal changes, the color selected for the most recently activated setpoint displays
Only setpoints with the same source data as the bargraph are displayed.
If all six setpoints are used the colors are set as follows:
Set Up Bargraph Scaling This mode is where the span range of the bargraph is scaled.
The span range of the bargraph can be set between 9999 to 99999 counts. There are three methods of scaling the bargraph:
Linear.
Via Linearization Table .
Logarithmic.
Selecting 3 in the st digit enters the Set Up Bargraph Scaling mode.
Linear Bargraph Scaling
The most common method of scaling the bargraph is through the Linear Bargraph Scaling sub-menu. In this menu the bar low, bar high, and bar nominal settings are set.
Bar Low [bAr_L] is the setting in counts required at the bottom of the bargraph.
Bar High [bAr_h] is the setting in counts required at the top of the bargraph.
Bar Nominal sets the point on the bargraph at which the bar begins to light up. This can be any position between and including the bar low and bar high settings.
If bar nominal is set to the bar low setting, the bargraph behaves like a typical bargraph making the segments light up from the bottom of the bar and grow towards the top.
If bar nominal is set to the bar high setting, this makes all segments from the displayed signal to the top of the bar light up. As the signal increases, the number of lit segments between the signal and the bar high setting becomes steadily less. When the signal reaches the bar high setting no segments are lit.

Bargraph Nominal Set Low or High
Setting bar nominal to the midpoint between bar low and bar high makes the bargraph behave like a typical center zero bargraph. This means the bargraph lights up at the center of the bar and moves either up or down the bar depending on the displayed signal.
Page 26
Texmate, Inc. Tel. (760) 598-9899 www.texmate.com
0/
GI-50EB0 320 DS (NZ309)
For example, if the meter's full scale range is 20,000 counts, the midpoint is 0,000 counts. If a signal of 0,000 counts is applied, only one segment at the 0,000 count mark lights up. If a signal of 7,000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (0,000 counts) and the 7,000 count mark light up.
If a signal of 5000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (0,000 counts) and the 5000 count mark light up.

Typical Center Zero Bargraph
An added feature of this bargraph is that it can also be nonsymmetrical. This means that the bar nominal setting does not need to be set at the mid-point between bar low and bar high.
For example, if the bargraph is configured to display 200 to
800 C, bar low is set to 200 counts and bar high is set to 800 counts. Bar nominal is set to 0 counts. If a signal of 50 C is applied, the bar lights from 0 down to 50. If a signal of 600 C is applied, the bar lights from 0 up to 600.
Example Procedure. The
example procedure on

Bargraph Scaling using Linearization Table 1 When set in this mode, the register selected to be displayed on the bargraph display (Code set to [XX]) is first processed through a 32-point flexible linearization table (Table ) before being displayed.
This can be used, for example, if channel is the required digital display while the bargraph display is the square root of channel .
See Linearization Supplement for full details to set up linearization Table 1.
Selecting 3 in the st digit and 1 in the 3rd digit selects Bargraph scaling via Linearization Table .
Example Procedure. To scale the bargraph using Linearization Table , follow the Scale Bargraph using Linear Scaling Procedure on Page 36. Ensure the secondary (bargraph) display has been set up in Code and Linearization Table has been formatted and selected for the required application.
Logarithmic Bargraph Scaling
Logarithmic scales are used in a wide variety of measurements.
Probably the most well known logarithmic scale is the Richter scale for measuring earthquakes. Other log scales used include sound level (dB), radio frequency signals, power levels (dBm), and numerous radiation signals.
In all logarithmic scales a reference level is required that is the level at 0 dB. For example, in an RF measurement 0 dBm is at a reference of mW.
The scale is calculated from:
0 log0
counts (input)
reference
If the meter is scaled so that:
mW = 00 counts and W = 00,000 counts
Then the reference for 0 dBm would be set to 00 counts:
10 log10

Selecting [X4X] means that the segments of the bar remain lit over the minimum and maximum signal variations. The setpoints are displayed as flashing segments.
This is a useful mode for seeing process variations at a glance.
Note:
When moving from another display format to the Min/Max with Setpoints mode, the peak and valley settings must be set to the current settings by entering the Peak View mode or Valley View mode and pressing the UP and DOWN buttons at the same time.
Example: Peak and Valley on Bargraph
When moving from Min/Max with Setpoints mode to another display format, the bar nominal [bAr_n] setting must be reset to its original settings in Code 10 [3XX].

Reference. This is the number of counts displayed for a 0 dB reference. Range: to 99999 counts.
Bar Nominal. See Bar Nominal description under heading:
Linear Bargraph Scaling.
Selecting 3 in the st digit and 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 in the 3rd digit enters the Set Up Scaling for Logarithmic Bargraph sub-menu:
Selecting 3 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 0 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 4 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 20 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 5 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 25 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 6 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 33 Bar/Decade.
Selecting 7 in the 3rd digit sets the log to 50 Bar/Decade.
Example Procedure. The example procedure on Page 37 shows how to scale the bargraph using example logarithmic settings.
Bargraph Display Format
After the bargraph colors have been set and the bargraph scaled, the display format can be set. This is normally the final setting. The 2nd digit selects the format of the bargraph display. There are four display format settings available:
Setpoints on Bar. Selecting [X0X] means that the setpoints are displayed on the bar as flashing segments in the current display color.
When the display color changes, the setpoint segments change to that color. When the bargraph lights up on or beyond a setpoint, the setpoint segment goes out.

Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 5.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, program-
mable DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 0 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 50 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.

0/
GI-50EB0 320 DS (NZ309)
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 035 counts.
Deviation
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Hytseresis
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayNormal Mode

A Tiger 320 Series meter has 6,44 registers which are provided for use by the operating system and the powerful Custom Macro Programming system (see page ).
40 Manually Selectable Registers Using the front panel buttons, there are 40 registers that may be selected for use within the following functions:
[CodE_1] - Display Configuration [X50]. Selection of a register as the data source for displays, peak and valley, totalizers and analog outputs. (See pages 29 & 3)
Setpoint Control Settings [X1X]. Selection of a register
as the data source for a setpoint. (See Page 50)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Selection of a destination register that is to be reset by a setpoint with the contents of a selected source register. (See Page 5)
Setpoint Control Settings [XX7]. Select which registers contents are to be copied into the destination register by a setpoint. (See Page 5)
The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is shown.
No register number is shown for the first functions, because these functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.
Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers.
In the example shown on the right, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 2 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed.
Totalizer counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats.

Many additional input modules are available and others are constantly being developed. Check with your local distributor or see Texmates web site at: 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 are designed to be header selectable by the user, and our unique SPAN ADJUST Header facilitates scaling to almost any required engineering unit. See Input Module Component Glossary for more information.
Unless otherwise specified, we will ship all modules pre calibrated with factory preselected ranges and/or scaling 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.

GI-50EB0 320 DS (NZ309)
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 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 transmitters.
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 5 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 00% 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, 0 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 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 0% steps across 00% 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.

BL-40 DS (BL2)
The BL-40 is an intelligent meter with a hierarchical software structure designed for easy programming and operation, as shown below in the software logic tree.
After the meter has been powered up, the four digits light up for three seconds and then settle to the operational display indicating the input signal.
15 Second Program Timeout The meter has a 5 second program timeout. If no buttons are pressed for 5 seconds, at any stage of the programming sequence the meter will exit the programming mode and return to the operational display. Any program changes that were made prior to pressing the P button in the preceding step will not be saved.

This mode enables the meter to be calibrated with an automatic scale factor calculation, by applying a high input signal, entering the desired reading for that signal, then applying a zero or low input signal, and then entering the desired 0 or low reading. The meter then automatically calculates and programs in the requisite scale factor, within the following parameters.
. Positive and negative signals may be applied, but the difference between the high and the low signal inputs must be at least 000
counts or Err will be indicated.
2. Positive and Negative values for the desired reading can be entered, but the scale factor created can not exceed the Digital Display Span capability of the meter which is 2,000 counts between 999 to 9999.
3. The internal Signal Span is limited to 3 V DC between V DC to + 2 V DC. Any outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange regardless of the Digital Display Span scaled.
Note: Most input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meters digital scale factor is set to read zero with a zero input (shorted input), and to read 000 with a .000 V input, any pre-calibrated signal conditioner with an output that does not exceed V to + 2 V, will read correctly in the meter without any further calibration.

(see page 5) and the display shows previous [dp] selection.
ERROR
Indicates Unsuccessful Calibration
If the calibration was unsuccessful, the display indicates [Err], the new calibration settings just entered will not take effect and the previously stored setting will remain.
The three most likely causes of an error during calibration are:
) The full scale and zero signals were too similar. The full scale signal must be at least 000 counts greater than the zero or low input signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter
(999 to 9999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.

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 and Calibration on pages 3 and 4. Also see Two Point Digital Calibration and Digital Calibration on page 4.
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).

BL-40 DS (BL2)
Input and Output Pins On most modules Pin 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 5 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 00% of the input Signal Span.
Any input Signal Span can then be precisely scaled down to provide any required Digital Display span from 999 counts to 00 (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 0% steps across 00% of the input Signal Span.
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 (-00 to +00 counts).
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 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).
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.
In addition to the analog calibration capabilities that enable many modules to be interchanged between different meters without loss of accuracy the Leopard Family of meters have enhanced Digital Calibration functions. See Page 4
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.
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. For negative inputs, Leopard Family Meters will display negative overrange at 50% of full scale range.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points
has no effect on the calibration of the modules
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 50 turn potentiometer that can infinitely scale down any Input Signal SPAN to provide any full scale Digital Display Span from 999 (counts) to 00 (one count).

If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 0 V to read 0 to 800 gallons.
Signal Span = 0V, Digital Display Span = 800 counts
Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 800 counts with an input of only .8 V which is (.80)=8% of the examples 0 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 8% select the 20% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position ) 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 0 V and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads
800.
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display
Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: to 5 V to read 00 to 500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 600 counts
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 600 counts for an input of .6 V which is (.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
2 If the module is a Process Input -5 V DC type, select the (Hi Range) position on the SPAN RANGE Header and the 00% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 5, max increase).
This will provide a digital display of 600 counts for an input of 4V which is 00% of the examples 4V Signal Span.
3 Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (no offset). Apply V and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads 400. A 4V input would then read 600 counts.
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 500 counts.
Apply V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 00. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +00.0% Signal Span = 6 mA, Digital Display Span = 000 counts.
The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is 0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to 2000 counts. This will provide a digital display of 000 counts with an input of only 0 mA which is (06)=62.5% of the examples 6 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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 250. A 6 mA input would then read 000 counts.
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 250 counts.
Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000.
Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads 000. Select decimal point XXXX to display 00.0 to 00.0.

BL-40PSF DS (BL5)
The BL-40PSF is an intelligent meter with a hierarchical software structure designed for easy programming and operation, as shown below in the software logic tree.
After the meter has been powered up, the four digits light up for three seconds and then settle to the operational display indicating the input signal.
15 Second Program Timeout The meter has a 5 second program timeout. If no buttons are pressed for 5 seconds, at any stage of the programming sequence the meter will exit the programming mode and return to the operational display. Any program changes that were made prior to pressing the P button in the preceding step will not be saved.

The DL-40PSF meter may be rescaled without applying an external signal by changing the Offset and Scale factor.
Offset is the reading that the meter will display for a zero input. The Offset may be set to any value from -999 to +9999. The default value of the Offset is 0
Scale factor is the gain of the meter. The displayed reading is directly proportional to the Scale factor. The default value of the scale factor is 2000, but it may be set to any value between -999 and +9999.
For an input of 2V a calibrated meter will read 2000 with the default Scale factor of 2000, 3000 with a Scale factor of 3000 and 500 with a Scale factor of 500
If a linear scale is represented by mx + b, then the Scale Factor corresponds to the slope m and the Offset corresponds to the intercept b
The internal Signal Span is limited to 3 V DC between V DC to + 2 V DC. Outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange.
Note: Most input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meters digital Scale Factor is set to
2000 and Offset set to 0 then, any pre-calibrated signal conditioner with an output that does not exceed V to + 2 V, will read correctly in the meter without any further calibration.

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 and Calibration on pages 3 and 4. Also see Two Point Digital Calibration and Digital Calibration on page 4.
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).

BL-40PSF DS (BL5)
Input and Output Pins On most modules Pin 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 5 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 00% of the input Signal Span. Any input Signal Span can then be precisely scaled down to provide any required Digital Display span from 999 counts to 00 (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 0% steps across 00% of the input Signal Span.
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 (-00 to +00 counts).
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 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).
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.
In addition to the analog calibration capabilities that enable many modules to be interchanged between different meters without loss of accuracy the Leopard Family of meters have enhanced Digital Calibration functions. See Page 4
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.
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. For negative inputs, Leopard Family Meters will display negative overrange at 50% of full scale range.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points
has no effect on the calibration of the modules
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 50 turn potentiometer that can infinitely scale down any Input Signal SPAN to provide any full scale Digital Display Span from 999 (counts) to 00 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full

scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 0 V to read 0 to 800 gallons.
Signal Span = 0V, Digital Display Span = 800 counts
Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 800 counts with an input of only .8 V which is (.80)=8% of the examples 0 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 8% select the 20% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position ) 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 0 V and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads
800.
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: to 5 V to read 00 to 500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 600 counts
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 600 counts for an input of .6 V which is (.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
2 If the module is a Process Input -5 V DC type, select the (Hi Range) position on the SPAN RANGE Header and the 00% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 5, max increase).
This will provide a digital display of 600 counts for an input of 4V which is 00% of the examples 4V Signal Span.
3 Set the ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to the center position (no offset). Apply V and adjust the SPAN pot until the display reads 400. A 4V input would then read 600 counts.
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 500 counts.
Apply V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 00. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +00.0% Signal Span = 6 mA, Digital Display Span = 000 counts.
The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is 0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to 2000 counts. This will provide a digital display of 000 counts with an input of only 0 mA which is (06)=62.5% of the examples 6 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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 250. A 6 mA input would then read 000 counts.
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 250 counts.
Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000.
Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads 000. Select decimal point XXXX to display 00.0 to 00.0.

The DL-40JANUS is an intelligent meter with a hierarchical software structure designed for easy programming and operation, as shown below in the software logic tree.
After the meter has been powered up, the four digits light up for three seconds and then settle to the operational display indicating the input signal.
15 Second
Program Timeout
The meter has a 15 second program timeout. If no buttons are pressed for 15 seconds, at any stage of the programming sequence the meter will exit the programming mode and return to the operational display. Any program changes that were made prior to pressing the P button in the preceding step will not be saved.
Page 3
When the rear Auto/Manual switch is in the Manual position, the meter can be rescaled without applying an external signal by changing the oFSt (offset) and SCAL (scale) parameters in the user menu. A pre-calibrated Input Signal Conditioning module must be used. The meter assumes that this calibration used a true zero input (0V from conditioner to meter) resulting in a display value of 0 and a maximum input signal span (2V from conditioner to meter) resulting in a display value of the SCAL value set in the user menu. The linear equation is y = mx + b where m = (SCAL-0)/(2-0) and b = oFSt.
The default value of SCAL is 2000, but it may be set to any value between -1999 and +9999.
The internal Signal Span is limited to 3 V DC between1 V DC to+ 2 V DC. Any outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange regardless of the Digital Display Span scaled. For example, an ID01 DC Volts Input Signal Conditioner can read +/-2VDC, but in the DL-40 will show under-range for a -1.2V input.

When the rear Auto/Manual switch is in the Auto position, the meter can be calibrated with an automatic scale factor calculation, by applying a low input signal (InLo), entering the desired low display reading for that signal (ZERO), then applying a high input signal (InHi), and then entering the desired high display reading (SPAN). The meter then automatically calculates and programs in the requisite scale factor using a true linear (y=mx + b) calculation where m = (SPAN-ZERO)/(InHi-InLo) and b = ZERO, but within the following parameters.
1. Positive and negative signals may be applied, but the difference between the high and the low signal inputs must be at least 1000 counts or Err will be indicated.
2. Positive and Negative values for the desired reading can be entered, but the scale factor created can not exceed the Digital Display Span capability of the meter which is 12,000 counts between 1999 to 9999.
3. The internal Signal Span is limited to 3 V DC between 1 V DC to + 2 V DC. Any outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange regardless of the Digital Display Span scaled.
Note: Most input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meters digital scale factor is set to read zero with a zero input (shorted input), and to read 1000 with a 1.000 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.

If the calibration was unsuccessful, the display indicates [Err], the new calibration settings just entered will not take effect and the previously stored setting will remain.
The three most likely causes of an error during calibration are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar. The full scale signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the zero or low input signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter

The Modbus/RS-485 communication settings sub-menu allows you to set the following parameters:
a) Baud Rate this is the baud rate of the RS-485 serial communication between the meter (slave) and Modbus master. Options are
9600 (default, meter shows 96) and 19200 (meter shows 192).
b) Address this is the meters Modbus address on the RS-485 loop. Typically, RS-485 limits the number of devices on the loop to 32, but the DL-40 supports the full Modbus address range of 1-247.
Address 1 is the default value.
c) Parity this is the parity setting for the RS-485 serial communication between the meter (slave) and Modbus master. Options are: None (display shows 0; Odd (display shows 1); Even (default, display shows 2).
The meters response time to a read command from the master is 40-45msec (typically 42msec). The response time for a write command is 70-75msec (typically 72msec). This is due to the module having to communicate to the meters core firmware to complete the desired command. Exception responses are handled directly by the module and typically have a response time of 3msec.
The DL-40 Modbus communication module supports the following
Modbus commands:
a) Read Holding Register (0x03)
b) Write Single Register (0x06)
Modbus addresses for DL-40JANUS registers are shown on
the next page
The following are some things to note about particular registers:
a) Modicon address 40001 RELAY has the bit values for Sp3 & Sp4 and LED3 & LED4 reversed. There is an historical reason for this, and we have chosen to maintain backward compatibility in case customers want to send their meters in for a Modbus upgrade (at a nominal fee).
b) Modicon addresses 40002 INP, 40026 PEAK, 40027 VALY,
40029 ZERO, 40029 SPAN return a 2 byte hexadecimal value of the meters display (in counts) and does not include the decimal point. If you need the decimal value with decimal point, you will need to read the register, convert it to decimal, read 40024 (see below) to determine decimal location, then combine the two. Display counts are in Twos Complement notation.
a. Hex values for 0 to 9999 are 0x0000 to 0x270F.
b. Hex values for -1 to -1999 are 0xFFFF to 0xF831.
c. Over-range is indicated by a returned value of 9999 (0x270F).
d. Under-range is indicated by a returned value of -1999 (0xF831).
c) In order for Sp3 and Sp4 set point settings to work, the DL-40 must have the optional Output Carrier Board installed (P/N SA-DL/OM-CB).
d) All Delay on Make (DoM), Delay on Break (DoB) and Hysteresis
values are in units of whole seconds.
e) Modicon address 40023 RLYMOD uses the following values to set the relay activation mode (letter sequence is SP1, SP2, SP3, SP4):
a. 0 for HHHH
b. 1 for HLHL
c. 2 for LHLH
d. 3 for LLLL
e. H means relay is energized if input is equal to or
exceeds setpoint; L means relay is energized if input
is less than setpoint.
f. Note that the meter will not show the last two letters if
the Output Carrier Board option is not installed.
f) Modicon address 40023 DP uses the following values to set the
display decimal point location:
a. 0 for XXXX (none)
b. 1 for XXXX.
c. 2 for XXX.X
d. 3 for XX.XX
e. 4 for X.XXX
g) Modicon address 40025 BRIGHT must be a value between 1
(most dim) to 4 (most bright).
h) Modicon addresses 40028 and 40029 will have different meanings depending on the Auto calibration or Manual rescaling operational selection (see Auto Calibration Mode or Manual Rescaling Mode above). These are explained in the register table below.
i) Modicon addresses 40030 IZERO and 40031 ISPAN return hexadecimal values related to the Auto Mode calibration of the meter. They do not necessarily match expected values due variations and tolerances in the measurement circuit components, e.g., calibrating with a value of zero volts for the ZERO value may return a value of 0xFFFE (-2). These registers have no meaning in Manual Rescaling Mode).

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).

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.
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.
24V DC Output Header On some modules this header enables a 24V DC 25mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin 2.
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.
Page 14
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).
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).
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 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).

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.
In addition to the analog calibration capabilities that enable many modules to be interchanged between different meters without loss of accuracy the Leopard Family of meters have enhanced Digital Calibration functions. See Page 4-5.
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. For negative inputs, Leopard Family Meters will display negative overrange at 50% of full scale range.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points
has no effect on the calibration of the modules
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 full scale Digital Display Span from
1999 (counts) to 001 (one count).
Page 15
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 1800 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 1800 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 1800 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% 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 1800.
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100 to 1500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 1600 counts
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
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 digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V 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 400. A 4V input would then read 1600 counts.
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 500 counts.
Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 1500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +100.0% Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 1000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is 0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to 2000 counts. This will provide a digital display of 1000 counts with an input of only 10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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 250. A 16 mA input would then read 1000 counts.
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 250 counts.
Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000.
Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads 1000. Select decimal point XXXX to display 00.0 to 100.0.

The clear lockable cover is designed to be dust and water proof to NEMA-4X, IP65 standards. The assembly consists of a base and cover with a cam hinge and key-lock fastening mechanism. An O-ring, or neoprene gasket forms a seal between the base and the panel. The cam hinge prevents the cover from closing when opened until pushed closed. The cover has a tapered recess that, when closed, forms a seal with a tapered spigot on the base. A key-lock employs a cam locking device to force the spigot into the recess, ensuring seal integrity. A safety catch keeps the cover closed even when the key is removed, and the keyhole can be used to attach a safety seal clip, preventing unauthorized opening.

The meters plastic case is made from fire retardant polycarbonate. A metal surround case can be ordered to enhance the meters fire retardant capabilities and also provide shielding against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The metal case slides over the polycarbonate case and is held firmly in place by spring-type non-return clips. The Metal Surround Case must be factory installed on the polycarbonate case and once installed, it cannot be removed in the field.
With the metal case in place, the meters standard ratchet-type mounting clips can not be used. Instead a pair of screw-type DIN standard mounting clips are provided, which clip into holes on the side of the metal case and tighten against the rear of the panel. A ground tab on the metal case enables the metal case to be easily connected to the panel ground.

Software Logic Tree
This is an intelligent bargraph meter with a hierarchical software structure designed for easy programming and operation, as shown below in the software logic tree.
Software Version is Displayed on Power-up When power is applied, all segments of the bargraph and digital display light up for 3 seconds. The version number of the installed software is then displayed for 2 seconds, after which, the operational display indicates the input signal.
15 Second Program Timeout Except for ZERO and SPAN settings in the Two Point Digital Calibration Mode and the Analog Output Range Setting and Calibration Mode (cLo and chi), the meter has a 15 second program timeout. If no buttons are pressed for 15 seconds in any of the other programming sequences, the meter will exit the programming mode and return to the operational display. Any program changes that were made prior to pressing the button in the preceding step will not be saved.
This mode enables the meter to be calibrated by applying a zero or low input signal, entering the desired reading for that signal, then applying a high input signal, and then entering the desired reading for that signal. The meter then automatically calculates and programs in the requisite scale factor, within the following parameters.
1. Positive and negative signals may be applied, but the difference between the low and the high signal inputs must be at least 1000 counts or Err will be indicated.
2. Positive and Negative values for the desired reading can be entered, but the scale factor created can not exceed the Digital Display Span capability of the meter which is 12,000 counts between 1999 to 9999.
3. The internal Signal Span is limited to 3 V DC between 1 V DC to + 2 V DC. Any outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange regardless of the Digital Display Span scaled.
Note: Many input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meter is digitally set to read zero with a zero input (shorted input), and to read 1000 with a 1.000 V input, any pre-calibrated analog signal conditioner, with an output that does not exceed 1 V to + 2 V, will read correctly without any further calibration when it is inserted in the meter.

ERROR Indicates Unsuccessful Calibration
If the calibration was unsuccessful, the display indicates [Err], the new calibration settings just entered will not take effect and the previously stored setting will remain. The three most likely causes of an error during calibration are:
The full scale and zero signals were too similar. The full scale signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the zero or low input signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
The scaling requirement exceeded the digital display span capability of the meter (12,000 counts between 1999 to 9999).
No input signal present, or incorrect input signal connections.
Err. Any new setting canceled and previous
settings are retained
To Digital Span Selection for Bargraph Display Page 5
The bargraph can be set to display full scale (0-51 bars) any portion of the
digital reading from a minimum of 100 counts to a maximum of 12,000
counts. This provides higher resolution bargraph indication for those appli-
cations where the normal operating input signal range is less than the
desired full scale display range of the digital display.
For Example:
If the full scale range of the meter has been set from -1999 to
9999 (0-12,000 counts), but the normal operating range of the
input signal is between 4000 & 6000. The bargraph high parame-
ter [bhi] can be set to 6000 and the bargraph low parameter [bLo]
can be set to 4000.
This means that although the meter could digitally display a signal
from -1999 to 9999 (0-12,000 counts), the bargraph display only
Bargraph Display Scale Range Setting Example
begins to function at a reading of 4000, and reaches full scale indi-
cation at a reading of 6000. Although the digital display will con-
tinue reading up to 9999 before indicating overrange, the bargraph
display will indicate its overrange by flashing for readings above

Note: Any two digital span points from 1999 to 9999 can be selected. The digital values for [Anhi] analog high and [AnLo] analog low can be reversed to provide a 20 to 4mA output. The digital span selected can be as small as two counts, when using the analog output to function as a Control or Alarm Driver. Small digital spans will cause the high resolution 16 bit D to A to increment digitally in stair case steps.
See Two Point Analog Output Range Setting and Calibration at the top of the next page.
Bargraph Center Point Display Mode Selection
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with a Unipolar Input
If the meter's full scale range is set to 5000 counts, the midpoint would be
2500 counts. If a signal of 2500 counts is applied only one segment at the
2500 count mark will light up. If a signal of 4000 counts is applied the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 4000 count mark light up.
If a signal of 1000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 1000 count mark will light up.
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with Bipolar Signal Inputs
The meter may also be calibrated to display symmetrical bipolar signals such as 1 V or 10 V. When the center point display mode is selected, it will then function as a center zero meter. When positive signals are applied, the bar will go up from the center point, and when negative signals are applied, the bar will go down from the center point.

However, the output of cLo must always be less than the value selected for chi. If a reversed analog output is desired, the values selected to establish the Digital Span can be reversed (see top of page 6). For digital readings outside the Digital Span selected, the analog output will not go any lower than the calibrated value set for cLo. However, the analog output will linearly rise above the value set for chi, up to the the maximum analog output capability (see chi below).
2) Press the

STEP F Set or Calibrate [chi] the High Analog Value of the Analog Output Range 1) Using the buttons, adjust the analog output to the desired high value as measured on the multimeter display. chi may be adjusted to any value from 18 mA to 24 mA (mA output) or from 8 V to 10.3 V (volt output).
However, the value must be higher than the value selected for cLo. For digital readings outside the Digital Span selected, the analog output will linearly rise above the value set for chi, up to the maximum analog output capability.
2) Press the button. The meter exits the calibration mode and returns to the operational display.
Note: The analog output range established by the values selected for cLo and chi will occur, automatically scaled, between the two digital values selected for AnHi and AnLo.
However, the analog output can linearly rise above the chi value set for digital readings outside the digital span selected. See Digital Span Selection on page 6.

Many additional input modules are available and others are constantly being developed. Check with your local distributor.
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. See Input Module Component Glossary and Calibration on pages 14 and 15.
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).

ALL MODELS
SOME MODELS MODEL SPECIFIC
IA12: AC Millivolt RMS Sigma Delta
IS07: Pressure/Load Cell Ext Exc. High Impedance,
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.
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.
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.
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).
On some modules this header enables a 24V DC 25mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin 2.
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).
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).
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 Calibration Procedures 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.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.
has no effect on the calibration of the modules
Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100 to 1500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 1600 counts
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.
The 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 full scale Digital Display Span from 1999 (counts) to 001 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 1800 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 1800 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 1800 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% 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
1800.
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
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
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 digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V 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 400. A 4V input would then read 1600 counts.
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 500 counts. Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 1500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +100.0%
Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 1000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is 0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of
0 to 2000 counts. This will provide a digital display of 1000 counts with an input of only 10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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 250. A 16 mA input would then read 1000 counts.
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 250 counts. Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000. Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads 1000.

This mode enables the meter to be calibrated by applying a zero or low input signal, entering the desired reading for that signal, then applying a high input signal, and then entering the desired reading for that signal. The meter then automatically calculates and programs in the requisite scale factor, within the following parameters.
1. Positive and negative signals may be applied, but the difference between the low and the high signal inputs must be at least 1000 counts or Err will be indicated.
2. Positive and Negative values for the desired reading can be entered, but the scale factor created can not exceed the Digital Display Span capability of the meter which is 12,000 counts between 1999 to 9999.
3. The internal Signal Span is limited to 3 V DC between 1 V DC to + 2 V DC. Any outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange regardless of the Digital Display Span scaled.

ERROR
Indicates Unsuccessful Calibration
If the calibration was unsuccessful, the display indicates [Err], the new calibration settings just entered will not take effect and the previously stored setting will remain. The three most likely causes of an error during calibration are:
The full scale and zero signals were too similar. The full scale signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the zero or low input signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
The scaling requirement exceeded the digital display span capability of the meter (12,000 counts between 1999 to 9999).
No input signal present, or incorrect input signal connections.

To Digital Span Selection for Bargraph Display Page 5
The bargraph can be set to display full scale (0-101 bars) any portion
of the digital reading from a minimum of 100 counts to a maximum of
12,000 counts. This provides higher resolution bargraph indication for
those applications where the normal operating input signal range is less
than the desired full scale display range of the digital display.
For Example:
If the full scale range of the meter has been set from -1999 to
9999 (0-12,000 counts), but the normal operating range of the
input signal is between 4000 & 6000. The bargraph high parame-
ter [bhi] can be set to 6000 and the bargraph low parameter [bLo]
can be set to 4000.
This means that although the meter could digitally display a signal
from -1999 to 9999 (0-12,000 counts), the bargraph display only
begins to function at a reading of 4000, and reaches full scale
indication at a reading of 6000. Although the digital display will
continue reading up to 9999 before indicating overrange, the bar-
graph display will indicate its overrange by flashing for readings
above 6000.

Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with a Unipolar Input
If the meter's full scale range is set to 5000 counts, the midpoint would be 2500 counts. If a signal of 2500 counts is applied only one segment at the 2500 count mark will light up. If a signal of 4000 counts is applied the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 4000 count mark light up.
If a signal of 1000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 1000 count mark will light up.
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with Bipolar Signal Inputs
The meter may also be calibrated to display symmetrical bipolar signals such as 1 V or 10 V. When the center point display mode is selected, it will then function as a center zero meter. When positive signals are applied, the bar will go up from the center point, and when negative signals are applied, the bar will go down from the center point.

If a mono-color red or green display is installed then the Setpoint Relay Programming Mode is now complete and the meter returns to the operational display.
If a tricolor bargraph display is installed then the Bargraph Color Programming Mode will be entered and display toggles between [CoL] and the previous setting. Color selection menu will be displayed.
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.
First (Step Q) is to select the color to be displayed, when the bar is below*, whichever set point is set to the lowest position.
Second (Steps R, S, T, and U) is to select the color to be displayed when the bar is above each specific set point, regardless of the order or position to which the set points are set.
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.

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 and Calibration on pages 13 and 14. Also see Two Point Digital Calibration and Digital Calibration on page 4.
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).

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.
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.
24V DC Output Header On some modules this header enables a 24V DC 25mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin 2.
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).
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).
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.
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.
Page 15
In addition to the analog calibration capabilities that enable many modules to be interchanged between different meters without loss of accuracy the Leopard Family of meters have enhanced Digital Calibration functions.
Large offset scaling and calibration of process signal inputs with modules that utilize ZERO ADJUST Headers and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Headers.
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. For negative inputs, Leopard Family Meters will display negative overrange at 50% of full scale range.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points
has no effect on the calibration of the modules
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 full scale Digital Display Span from
1999 (counts) to 001 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 1800 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 1800 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 1800 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% 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 1800.
Page 16
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100 to 1500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 1600 counts
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
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 digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V 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 400. A 4V input would then read 1600 counts.
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 500 counts.
Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 1500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +100.0%
Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 1000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is 0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to
2000 counts. This will provide a digital display of 1000 counts with an input of only 10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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 250. A 16 mA input would then read 1000 counts.
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 250 counts.
Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000.
Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads 1000.

The FL-B101D40 is an intelligent bargraph meter with a hierarchical software structure designed for easy programming and operation, as shown below in the software logic tree.
Software Version is Displayed on Power-up When power is applied, all segments of the bargraph and digital display light up for 3 seconds. The version number of the installed software is then displayed for 2 seconds, after which, the operational display indicates the input signal.
15 Second Program Timeout Except for ZERO and SPAN settings in the Two Point Digital Calibration Mode and the Analog Output Range Setting and Calibration Mode (cLo and chi), the meter has a 15 second program timeout. If no buttons are pressed for 15 seconds in any of the other programming sequences, the meter will exit the programming mode and return to the operational display. Any program changes that were made prior to pressing the P button in the preceding step will not be saved.

This mode enables the meter to be calibrated by applying a zero or low input signal, entering the desired reading for that signal, then applying a high input signal, and then entering the desired reading for that signal. The meter then automatically calculates and programs in the requisite scale factor, within the following parameters.
1. Positive and negative signals may be applied, but the difference between the low and the high signal inputs must be at least 1000 counts or Err will be indicated.
2. Positive and Negative values for the desired reading can be entered, but the scale factor created can not exceed the Digital Display Span capability of the meter which is 12,000 counts between 1999 to 9999.
3. The internal Signal Span is limited to 3 V DC between 1 V DC to + 2 V DC. Any outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange regardless of the Digital Display Span scaled.

Note: Many input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meter is digitally set to read zero with a zero input (shorted input), and to read 1000 with a 1.000 V input, any pre-calibrated analog signal conditioner, with an output that does not exceed 1 V to + 2 V, will read correctly without any further calibration when it is inserted in the meter.

If the calibration was unsuccessful, the display indicates [Err], the new calibration settings just entered will not take effect and the previously stored setting will remain. The three most likely causes of an error during calibration are:
The full scale and zero signals were too similar. The full scale signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the zero or low input signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
The scaling requirement exceeded the digital display span capability of the meter (12,000 counts between 1999 to 9999).
No input signal present, or incorrect input signal connections.

Example of Setting the Digital Span of the Bargraph Display to be Different than the Digital Display Range
The bargraph can be set to display full scale (0-101 bars) any portion
of the digital reading from a minimum of 100 counts to a maximum of
12,000 counts. This provides higher resolution bargraph indication for
those applications where the normal operating input signal range is less
than the desired full scale display range of the digital display.
For Example:
If the full scale range of the meter has been set from -1999 to
9999 (0-12,000 counts), but the normal operating range of the
input signal is between 4000 & 6000. The bargraph high parame-
ter [bhi] can be set to 6000 and the bargraph low parameter [bLo]
can be set to 4000.
This means that although the meter could digitally display a signal
from -1999 to 9999 (0-12,000 counts), the bargraph display only
begins to function at a reading of 4000, and reaches full scale
indication at a reading of 6000. Although the digital display will
continue reading up to 9999 before indicating overrange, the bar-
graph display will indicate its overrange by flashing for readings
above 6000.

Note: Any two digital span points from 1999 to 9999 can be selected. The digital values for [Anhi] analog high and [AnLo] analog low can be reversed to provide a 20 to 4mA output. The digital span selected can be as small as two counts, when using the analog output to function as a Control or Alarm Driver. Small digital spans will cause the high resolution 16 bit D to A to increment digitally in stair case steps.
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with a Unipolar Input
If the meter's full scale range is set to 5000 counts, the midpoint would be 2500 counts. If a signal of 2500 counts is applied only one segment at the 2500 count mark will light up. If a signal of 4000 counts is applied the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 4000 count mark light up.
If a signal of 1000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 1000 count mark will light up.
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with Bipolar Signal Inputs
The meter may also be calibrated to display symmetrical bipolar signals such as 1 V or 10 V. When the center point display mode is selected, it will then function as a center zero meter. When positive signals are applied, the bar will go up from the center point, and when negative signals are applied, the bar will go down from the center point.

However, the output of cLo must always be less than the value selected for chi. If a reversed analog output is desired, the values selected to establish the Digital Span can be reversed (see top of page 6). For digital readings outside the Digital Span selected, the analog output will not go any lower than the calibrated value set for cLo. However, the analog output will linearly rise above the value set for chi, up to the the maximum analog output capability (see chi below).

If a mono-color red or green display is installed then the Setpoint Relay Programming Mode is now complete and the meter returns to the operational display.
If a tricolor bargraph display is installed then the Bargraph Color Programming Mode will be entered and display toggles between [CoL] and the previous setting. Color selection menu will be displayed.
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.
First (Step Q) is to select the color to be displayed, when the bar is below*, whichever set point is set to the lowest position.
Second (Steps R, S, T, and U) is to select the color to be displayed when the bar is above each specific set point, regardless of the order or position to which the set points are set.
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.

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 and Calibration on pages 13 and 14. Also see Two Point Digital Calibration and Digital Calibration on page 4.
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).

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.
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.
24V DC Output Header On some modules this header enables a 24V DC 25mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin 2.
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).
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).
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.
Page 16
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.
In addition to the analog calibration capabilities that enable many modules to be interchanged between different meters without loss of accuracy the Leopard Family of meters have enhanced Digital Calibration functions.
Large offset scaling and calibration of process signal inputs with modules that utilize ZERO ADJUST Headers and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Headers.
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. For negative inputs, Leopard Family Meters will display negative overrange at 50% of full scale range.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points
has no effect on the calibration of the modules
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 full scale Digital Display Span from
1999 (counts) to 001 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 1800 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 1800 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 1800 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% 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 1800.
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100 to 1500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 1600 counts
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
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 digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V 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 400. A 4V input would then read 1600 counts.
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 500 counts.
Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 1500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +100.0%
Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 1000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is 0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to
2000 counts. This will provide a digital display of 1000 counts with an input of only 10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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 250. A 16 mA input would then read 1000 counts.
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 250 counts.
Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000.
Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads 1000.

FL-B101D40PS DS (FL10)
The FL-B101D40PS is an intelligent bargraph meter with a hierarchical software structure designed for easy programming and operation, as shown below in the software logic tree.
Software Version is Displayed on Power-up When power is applied, all segments of the bargraph and digital display light up for 3 seconds. The version number of the installed software is then displayed for 2 seconds, after which, the operational display indicates the input signal.
15 Second Program Timeout Except for ZERO and SPAN settings in the Two Point Digital Calibration Mode and the Analog Output Range Setting and Calibration Mode (cLo and chi), the meter has a 15 second program timeout. If no buttons are pressed for 15 seconds in any of the other programming sequences, the meter will exit the programming mode and return to the operational display. Any program changes that were made prior to pressing the button in the preceding step will not be saved.

The FL-B10140PSF meter may be rescaled without applying an external signal by changing the Offset and Scale factor.
Offset is the reading that the meter will display for a zero input. The Offset may be set to any value from -1999 to +9999. The default value of the Offset is 000
Scale factor is the gain of the meter. The displayed reading is directly proportional to the Scale factor. The default value of the scale factor is 2000, but it may be set to any value between -1999 and +9999.
For an input of 2V a calibrated meter will read 2000 with the default Scale factor of 2000, 3000 with a Scale factor of 3000 and 500 with a Scale factor of 500
If a linear scale is represented by mx + b, then the Scale Factor corresponds to the slope m and the Offset corresponds to the intercept b
The internal Signal Span is limited to 3 V DC between 1 V DC to + 2 V DC. Outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange.
Note: Most input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meters digital Scale Factor is set to
2000 and Offset set to 0000 then, 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.

The bargraph can be set to display full scale (0-101 bars) any portion of the
digital reading from a minimum of 100 counts to a maximum of 12,000
Example of Setting the Digital Span of the Bargraph Display to be Different than the Digital Display Range
counts. This provides higher resolution bargraph indication for those appli-
cations where the normal operating input signal range is less than the
desired full scale display range of the digital display.
For Example:
If the full scale range of the meter has been set from -1999 to
9999 (0-12,000 counts), but the normal operating range of the
input signal is between 4000 & 6000. The bargraph high parame-
ter [bhi] can be set to 6000 and the bargraph low parameter [bLo]
can be set to 4000.
This means that although the meter could digitally display a signal
from -1999 to 9999 (0-12,000 counts), the bargraph display only
begins to function at a reading of 4000, and reaches full scale indi-
cation at a reading of 6000. Although the digital display will con-
tinue reading up to 9999 before indicating overrange, the bargraph
display will indicate its overrange by flashing for readings above
6000.

Note: Any two digital span points from 1999 to 9999 can be selected. The digital values for [Anhi] analog high and [AnLo] analog low can be reversed to provide a 20 to 4mA output. The digital span selected can be as small as two counts, when using the analog output to function as a Control or Alarm Driver. Small digital spans will cause the high resolution 16 bit D to A to increment digitally in stair case steps.
See Two Point Analog Output Range Setting and Calibration at the top of the next page.
Bargraph Center Point Display Mode Selection
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with a Unipolar Input
If the meter's full scale range is set to 5000 counts, the midpoint would be
2500 counts. If a signal of 2500 counts is applied only one segment at the
2500 count mark will light up. If a signal of 4000 counts is applied the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 4000 count mark light up.
If a signal of 1000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 1000 count mark will light up.
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with Bipolar Signal Inputs
The meter may also be calibrated to display symmetrical bipolar signals such as 1 V or 10 V. When the center point display mode is selected, it will then function as a center zero meter. When positive signals are applied, the bar will go up from the center point, and when negative signals are applied, the bar will go down from the center point.

If a tricolor bargraph display is installed then the Bargraph Color Programming Mode will be entered and display toggles between [CoL] and the previous setting. Color selection menu will be displayed.
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.
First (Step Q) is to select the color to be displayed, when the bar is below*, whichever set point is set to the lowest position.
Second (Steps R, S, T, and U) is to select the color to be displayed when the bar is above each specific set point, regardless of the order or position to which the set points are set.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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).
On some modules this header enables a 24V DC 25mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin 2.
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).
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).
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.
Page 16
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.

In addition to the analog calibration capabilities that enable many modules to be interchanged between different meters without loss of accuracy the Leopard Family of meters have enhanced Digital Calibration functions.
Large offset scaling and calibration of process signal inputs with modules that utilize ZERO ADJUST Headers and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Headers.
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. For negative inputs, Leopard Family Meters will display negative overrange at 50% of full scale range.
4 Decimal Points.The selection or positioning of decimal points has
no effect on the calibration of the modules
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 full scale Digital Display Span from
1999 (counts) to 001 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 1800 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 1800 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 1800 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% 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 1800.
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100 to 1500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 1600 counts
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
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 digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V 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 400. A 4V input would then read 1600 counts.
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 500 counts.
Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 1500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +100.0% Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 1000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is 0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to 2000 counts. This will provide a digital display of 1000 counts with an input of only 10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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 250. A 16 mA input would then read 1000 counts.
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 250 counts. Apply
4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000. Apply
20 mA and check that the display reads 1000.

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.

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 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
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.
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
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.

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.
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
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
and then back
ON to exit

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.

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).

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
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.

Quickset Programming
This bargraph features our unique QUICKSET PROGRAMMING.
When a front panel button is pressed the associated function 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. When a button is released and pressed again the direction of change is reversed. As there are no menu or sub-menus to navigate, the programming and setup is quick and easy.
Front Panel Buttons
Display 1 Zero Button The Display 1 Zero Button sets the Channel 1 low input signal scaling. See Pages 5 to 7 for Calibration Instructions.
Display 1 Span Button The Display 1 Span Button sets the Channel 1 high input signal scaling. See Pages 5 to 7 for Calibration Instructions.
Display 2 Zero Button/Analog Output Lo The Display 2 Zero Button sets the Channel 2 low input signal scaling. See Pages 5 to 7 for Calibration Instructions.
This button also functions as the Analog Output LO button.
When the ZERO and SPAN buttons for DISPLAY 2 are simultaneously held down and the bargraph is powered up then the ZERO button will now function as the Analog Output LO button (and the SPAN button will now function as the Analog Output HI button). If the meter is turned OFF and then re-powered, this button will return to the original function of ZERO for DISPLAY 2.
See Pages 10 for Analog Output Calibration Instructions.
Display 2 Span Button/Analog Output Hi The Display 2 Span Button sets the Channel 2 high input signal scaling. See Pages 5 to 7 for Calibration Instructions.
This button also functions as the Analog Output HI button. (see zero button above for activation procedure). See Pages 10 for Analog Output Calibration Instructions.
SP1, SP2, SP3 and SP4 Buttons These buttons setup the corresponding setpoints and Modes of Operations. See Pages 11 and 12 for Setpoint Adjustment Instructions.

Mode 3 Hysteresis Band between SP1 & SP2 When a jumper clip is inserted in the Mode 3 position, the Hysteresis function is added (see page 2 for selecting this 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 9). 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.

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 or Center Zero Display Mode may be selected for CH1 and or CH2 displays, 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 15 21 for information on input modules that may be used 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 B RESET THE SCALINg ON CHANNEL ONE
1) Apply power to the meter and press the CH1 ZERO and CH1 SPAN buttons simulta-
neously 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 CH1 by pressing the CH1 Zero and CH1 Span buttons
simultaneously
for 2 secs.

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 CH1 input pins.
2) Using the CH1 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 CH1 input pins. 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. The scaling of CH1 for an input of 4 to 20mA is now complete.
In the Dual input mode, the procedure for calibrating CH2 is the same, except that the input signal is applied to the CH2 input pins and adjustments are made with the CH2 ZERO and CH2 SPAN buttons.

ONE POINT RECALIBRATION
As explained earlier, the FL-B202Q 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-B202Q 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 CH1 input pins. The first segment
will flash, indicating an under range condition.
2) Using the CH1 ZERO button adjust the bar up to the required position.
3) The FL-B202Q has now been recalibrated to read zero to fullscale for a 0 to 20 mA input.
Apply 0 mA
to the CH 1 Input Signal Pins
and adjust
bar display
to the required
position

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
CH1
CH2
Display Mode Select Header.
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.
Reset the scaling
to the default value on CH1 by pressing the CH1 Zero and CH1 Span buttons
simultaneously
for 2 secs.
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.
Apply -1V
to the CH 1 Input Signal Pins
and adjust
bar display
to the required
position
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.
Apply +1V
to the CH 1 Input Signal Pins
and adjust
bar display
to the required
position

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 DISPLAY 2 ZERO and DISPLAY 2 SPAN buttons simul-
taneously and re-power the bargraph. The DISPLAY 2 ZERO button will now function as the LO button and the DISPLAY 2 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).
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 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.
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 DISPLAY 2 ZERO and DISPLAY 2 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.

The bargraph has the option to have up to 4 setpoints (two 10A Form C relays and two 5A 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 and 14 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 14 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 and SP2 activate when input is lower than set point. SP3 and SP4 activate when input is equal to or higher than set point.
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.

EXTERNALLY ADJUSTABLE SETPOINT
The FL-B202Q may be configured to have SP1 as an external setpoint by selecting either Mode 3 or Mode 12. This external SP1 setpoint is adjusted either by a 10K potentiometer connected as shown in Figure 1.a or by an external voltage or current as shown in Figure 1.b.
This feature is used for adjusting the setpoint when the operator is located some distance away from the meter installation.
In Mode 3 SP1 is an external setpoint and SP2 is a normal setpoint that is set by the SP2 front panel button.
In Mode 12 SP1 is an external setpoint and SP2 is a tracking setpoint that is set by the SP2 front panel button. Once SP2 is set, it will track any change in setpoint SP1 so that the window or difference between SP1 and SP2 is maintained constant.
In Mode 3 and Mode 12, the CH2 signal is used to adjust the SP1 setpoint. Therefore when a mode with an external setpoint is selected, even though the Universal Dual Input module IDP4 is used, only one input channel CH1 is available to measure input signals.
It follows then, that before using this feature, CH2 has must be calibrated for the signal that will adjust the SP1 setpoint. A reference voltage of approximately 1V is provided on Pin 5 of the IDP4 Universal Dual Input module, for use with an external potentiometer.

External Setpoint Calibration
In Mode 3 and Mode 12, SP1 is an external setpoint that is adjusted by an external potentiometer or by an external signal. Before the external setpoint mode is selected, CH2 has to be scaled. The four steps to calibrate CH2 and then select the external setpoint mode are as follows.
1) SELECT DUAL INPUT MODE 0 Select Mode 0 (See Page 8). If an external potentiometer is to be used with the internal reference of approximately 1V, then select the 2V range on CH2 of IDP4, the dual input signal conditioner. If some other signal is to control the external setpoint, then select the range of CH2 accordingly.
2) CALIBRATE CH2 LO Apply the minimum input signal to the CH2 input pins. If an external potentiometer is to be used with the internal reference of approximately 1V, then this minimum input signal is 0V. If some other signal is to control the external setpoint, input the appropriate signal at this stage. Using the CH2 ZERO button calibrate the CH2 bar to read zero. (See Page 6 for detailed instructions)
3) CALIBRATE CH2 HI Apply the maximum input signal to the CH2 input pins. If an external potentiometer is to be used with the internal reference of approximately 1V, then connect Pin 5 to Pin 2. If some other signal is to control the external setpoint, input the appropriate signal at this stage. Using the CH2 SPAN button calibrate the CH2 bar to read full scale. (See Page 6 for detailed instructions)
4) SELECT REQUIRED EXTERNAL SETPOINT MODE 3 OR MODE 12 Check that the CH2 bar has been calibrated correctly, and then select the required external setpoint Mode 3 (One external setpoint and one normal setpoint) or Mode 12 (One external setpoint and one tracking setpoint). As the external 10K potentiometer wiper moves from one end to the other, (or as the setpoint signal increases from Lo to Hi), setpoint SP1 will move from the zero position
to the full scale position on bar 2.

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 and Calibration on pages 13 and 14. Also see Two Point Digital Calibration and Digital Calibration on page 4.
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).

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.

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 FL-B202Q 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 FL-B202Q 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 FL-B202Q 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.

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.

Software Logic Tree
The PL-B101D40 is an intelligent bargraph meter with a hierarchical software structure designed for easy programming and operation, as shown below in the software logic tree.
Software Version is Displayed on Power-up When power is applied, all segments of the bargraph and digital display light up for 3 seconds. The version number of the installed software is then displayed for 2 seconds, after which, the operational display indicates the input signal.
15 Second Program Timeout Except for ZERO and SPAN settings in the Two Point Digital Calibration Mode and the Analog Output Range Setting and Calibration Mode (cLo and chi), the meter has a 15 second program timeout. If no buttons are pressed for 15 seconds in any of the other programming sequences, the meter will exit the programming mode and return to the operational display. Any program changes that were made prior to pressing the button in the preceding step will not be saved.
This mode enables the meter to be calibrated by applying a zero or low input signal, entering the desired reading for that signal, then applying a high input signal, and then entering the desired reading for that signal. The meter then automatically calculates and programs in the requisite scale factor, within the following parameters.
1. Positive and negative signals may be applied, but the difference between the low and the high signal inputs must be at least 1000 counts or Err will be indicated.
2. Positive and Negative values for the desired reading can be entered, but the scale factor created can not exceed the Digital Display Span capability of the meter which is 12,000 counts between 1999 to 9999.
3. The internal Signal Span is limited to 3 V DC between 1 V DC to + 2 V DC. Any outputs from an Input Signal Conditioning module that exceed these limits will cause the meter to indicate overrange regardless of the Digital Display Span scaled.
Note: Many input signal conditioners have provisions for analog calibration and scaling. If the meter is digitally set to read zero with a zero input (shorted input), and to read 1000 with a 1.000 V input, any pre-calibrated analog signal conditioner, with an output that does not exceed 1 V to + 2 V, will read correctly without any further calibration when it is inserted in the meter.

ERROR Indicates Unsuccessful Calibration
If the calibration was unsuccessful, the display indicates [Err], the new calibration settings just entered will not take effect and the previously stored setting will remain. The three most likely causes of an error during calibration are:
The full scale and zero signals were too similar. The full scale signal must be at least 1000 counts greater than the zero or low input signal (positive and negative values are allowed).
The scaling requirement exceeded the digital display span capability of the meter (12,000 counts between 1999 to 9999).
No input signal present, or incorrect input signal connections.
Err. Any new setting canceled and previous
settings are retained
To Digital Span Selection for Bargraph Display Page 5
The bargraph can be set to display full scale (0-101 bars) any portion of the
digital reading from a minimum of 100 counts to a maximum of 12,000
counts. This provides higher resolution bargraph indication for those appli-
cations where the normal operating input signal range is less than the
desired full scale display range of the digital display.
For Example:
If the full scale range of the meter has been set from -1999 to
9999 (0-12,000 counts), but the normal operating range of the
input signal is between 4000 & 6000. The bargraph high parame-
ter [bhi] can be set to 6000 and the bargraph low parameter [bLo]
can be set to 4000.
This means that although the meter could digitally display a signal
from -1999 to 9999 (0-12,000 counts), the bargraph display only
begins to function at a reading of 4000, and reaches full scale indi-
cation at a reading of 6000. Although the digital display will con-
tinue reading up to 9999 before indicating overrange, the bargraph
display will indicate its overrange by flashing for readings above
6000.

[oFF].
Note: Any two digital span points from 1999 to 9999 can be selected. The digital values for [Anhi] analog high and [AnLo] analog low can be reversed to provide a 20 to 4mA output. The digital span selected can be as small as two counts, when using the analog output to function as a Control or Alarm Driver. Small digital spans will cause the high resolution 16 bit D to A to increment digitally in stair case steps.
See Two Point Analog Output Range Setting and Calibration at the top of the next page.
Bargraph Center Point Display Mode Selection
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with a Unipolar Input
If the meter's full scale range is set to 5000 counts, the midpoint would be
2500 counts. If a signal of 2500 counts is applied only one segment at the
2500 count mark will light up. If a signal of 4000 counts is applied the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 4000 count mark light up.
If a signal of 1000 counts is applied, the segments between the center segment (2500 counts) and the 1000 count mark will light up.
Example of Using the Center Point Bargraph Display Mode with Bipolar Signal Inputs
The meter may also be calibrated to display symmetrical bipolar signals such as 1 V or 10 V. When the center point display mode is selected, it will then function as a center zero meter. When positive signals are applied, the bar will go up from the center point, and when negative signals are applied, the bar will go down from the center point.

Using the buttons, adjust the analog output to the desired low value as measured on the multimeter. cLo may be adjusted to any value from 0.3 mA to 18 mA (mA output selected) or from 0.6 V to 8 V (volt output selected). However, the output of cLo must always be less than the value selected for chi. If a reversed analog output is desired, the values selected to establish the Digital Span can be reversed (see top of page 6). For digital readings outside the Digital Span selected, the analog output will not go any lower than the calibrated value set for cLo. However, the analog output will linearly rise above the value set for chi, up to the the maximum analog output capability (see chi below).

Note: The analog output range established by the values selected for cLo and chi will occur, automatically scaled, between the two digital values selected for AnHi and AnLo.
However, the analog output can linearly rise above the chi value set for digital readings outside the digital span selected. See Digital Span Selection on page 6.
The following programming steps are required to enter the setpoint values and configure the relay functions in a meter with four relays using four setpoints. Generally if less than four relays are installed, the setpoints without relays are operational in software for tricolor control or display only purposes.

Many additional input modules are available and others are constantly being developed. Check with your local distributor.
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. See Input Module Component Glossary and Calibration on pages 14 and 15.
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).

ALL MODELS
SOME MODELS MODEL SPECIFIC
IA12: AC Millivolt RMS Sigma Delta
IS07: Pressure/Load Cell Ext Exc. High Impedance,
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.
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.
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.
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).
On some modules this header enables a 24V DC 25mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin 2.
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).
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).
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 Calibration Procedures 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.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.

Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100 to 1500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 1600 counts
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.
The 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 full scale Digital Display Span from 1999 (counts) to 001 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 1800 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 1800 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 1800 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% 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
1800.
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
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
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 digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V 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 400. A 4V input would then read 1600 counts.
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 500 counts. Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 1500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +100.0%
Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 1000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is 0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of
0 to 2000 counts. This will provide a digital display of 1000 counts with an input of only 10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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 250. A 16 mA input would then read 1000 counts.
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 250 counts. Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000. Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads 1000.

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.
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.
Page 6
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).
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).
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.
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.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points has
no effect on the calibration of the modules
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 full scale Digital Display Span from 1999 (counts) to 001 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 1800 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 1800 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 1800 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% 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 1800.
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100 to 1500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 1600 counts
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
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 digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V 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
400. A 4V input would then read 1600 counts.
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 500 counts. Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 1500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +100.0% Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 1000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is
0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to 2000 counts.
This will provide a digital display of 1000 counts with an input of only
10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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
250. A 16 mA input would then read 1000 counts.
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 250 counts.
Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000.
Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads 1000. Select decimal point 1XXX to display 00.0 to 100.0.

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).

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.
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 19999 counts to 0001 (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.
Page 6
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 (-1000 to +1000 counts).
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).
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.
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.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points has no
effect on the calibration of the modules
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 full scale Digital Display Span from 19999 (counts) to 0001 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 18000 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 18000 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 18000 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% 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 18000.
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100.0 to 1500.0 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 16000 counts
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 16000 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
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 digital display of 16000 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V 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 400. A 4V input would then read 16000 counts.
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 500 counts. Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 15000. Select decimal point 1XXXX to display -100.0 to 1500.0.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.00 to +100.00% Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 10000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is 0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to 20000 counts. This will provide a digital display of 10000 counts with an input of only 10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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 2500. A 16 mA input would then read 10000 counts.
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 2500 counts.
Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 0000.
Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads 10000. Select decimal point 1XXXX to display 00.00 to 100.00

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. See Input Module Component Glossary and Calibration on pages 6 and 8.
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).

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.
On some modules this header enables a 24V DC 25mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin 2.
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.
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).
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.
Page 6
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).
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).
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.
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.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points
has no effect on the calibration of the modules
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 full scale Digital Display Span from
1999 (counts) to 001 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 1800 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 1800 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 1800 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% 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 1800.
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Case Dimensions
Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100 to 1500 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 1600 counts
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
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 digital display of 1600 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V 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
400. A 4V input would then read 1600 counts.
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 500 counts.
Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100.
Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 1500.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.0 to +100.0% Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 1000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is
0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to 2000 counts.
This will provide a digital display of 1000 counts with an input of only
10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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
250. A 16 mA input would then read 1000 counts.
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 250 counts. Apply
4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 000. Apply
20 mA and check that the display reads 1000. Select decimal point 1XXX to display 00.0 to 100.0.

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.
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).
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 Digital Display span from 19999 counts to 0001 (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.
Span Adjust Header
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 (-1000 to +1000 counts).
Page 6
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.
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.
4 Decimal Points. The selection or positioning of decimal points has
no effect on the calibration of the modules
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 full scale Digital Display Span from 19999
(counts) to 0001 (one count).
If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header, and the required full scale Digital Display Span (counts) 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 Digital Display Span can be reached by calibration with the SPAN pot.
Example A: 0 to 10 V to read 0 to 18000 gallons.
Signal Span = 10V, Digital Display Span = 18000 counts
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. This will provide a digital display of 18000 counts with an input of only 1.8 V which is (1.810)=18% of the examples 10 V Signal Span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 18% 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 18000.
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 Digital Display Span.
The second step is to set the ZERO ADJUST and or ZERO OFFSET RANGE Header to provide a positive or negative offset of sufficient counts that calibration with the ZERO pot will offset the Digital Display Span to produce the required digital reading.
Example B: 1 to 5 V to read 100.0 to 1500.0 C.
Signal Span = 4V, Digital Display Span = 16000 counts
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a digital display of 16000 counts for an input of 1.6 V which is (1.6 4) = 40% of the examples 4 V signal span. To scale down the Signal Span to 40% select the 40% Signal Span position on the SPAN ADJUST Header (position 2).
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 digital display of 16000 counts for an input of 4V which is 100% of the examples 4V 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
400. A 4V input would then read 16000 counts.
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 500 counts. Apply 1 V and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 100. Apply 5 V and check that the display reads 15000. Select decimal point 1XXXX to display -100.0 to 1500.0.
Example C: 4 to 20 mA to read 00.00 to +100.00% Signal Span = 16 mA, Digital Display Span = 10000 counts.
1 The full scale Signal Span of the Process Input 4-20 mA modules is
0 to 20 mA for a full scale Digital Display Span of 0 to 20000 counts.
This will provide a digital display of 10000 counts with an input of only
10 mA which is (1016)=62.5% of the examples 16 mA signal span.
2 To scale down the Signal Span to 62.5% select the (Hi 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
2500. A 16 mA input would then read 10000 counts.
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 2500 counts. Apply 4 mA and adjust the ZERO pot until the display reads 0000. Apply 20 mA and check that the display reads 10000. Select decimal point 1XXXX to display 000.0 to 100.00.

Connectors
This meter uses plug-in type screw terminal connectors for all input and output connections. The power supply connections (pins 14 and 15) have a unique plug and socket outline to prevent cross connection. The main board uses standard right-angled connectors.
Pins 1 to 6 - Input Module: See the individual pin out of the input signal conditioning module selected. Usually Pin 1 is the Signal Input High pin and Pin 3 is the Signal Input Low pin. All calibration and scaling functions are performed on the individual input signal conditioner module. See pages 6 and 7.
Pin 8 - Common of 10 Amp Form C or 5 Amp Form A SP1 Relay.
Pin 9 - Normally Closed Contact of 10 Amp Form C SP1 Relay.
Pin 10 - Normally Open Contact of 10 Amp Form C or 5 Amp Form A SP1 Relay.
Pin 11 & Pin 12Normally Open Contacts of 5 Amp Form A SP2 Relay.
Pin 14 & Pin 15 - AC/DC Power Input: These pins are the power pins of the meter and they only accept a special polarized screw terminal plug that can not be inserted into any other input socket. The standard meter has a auto sensing AC/DC power supply that operates from 85-265 VAC/95-370 VDC (PS1 Std). An optional isolated low voltage power supply that operates from 15-48 VAC/10-72 VDC (PS2) is also available.
FRONT OF METER WITH BEZEL AND FILTER REMOVED
To adjust the setpoint on the BX-B31 with relays, remove the front bezel and faceplates. Use needlenose pliers to remove and reposition the setpoint jumper clips.
For Setpoint #1: Insert the jumper clip between Row #1 and Row #2, directly below the LED that you wish to activate.
For Setpoint #2: Insert the jumper clip between Row #2 and Row #3, directly below the LED that you wish to activate.
Relay Activation Select Header Select High to energize the relay when the setpoint is exceeded. Select Low to energize the relay when the display is below the setpoint.
Proportional Brightness Band Potentiometer
The Proportional Brightness Potentiometer superimposes a proportional brightness band to the leading edge of the bargraph which creates
the optical appearance of a pointed arrow. This feature produces a display of infinite resolution. The position of the signal in relation to any two adjacent segments and the scale on the faceplate can be accurately ascertained to within 1%. When the amplitude of the proportional band is adjusted counterclockwise to zero, the smooth proportional advance of the display will be replaced by a step by step movement as each bar is either turned full on or full off.

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.
On some modules this header enables a 24V DC 25mA (max) Excitation/Auxiliary output to be connected to Pin 2.
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.
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.
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 19999 counts to 0001 (one count).
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).
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.
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 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 (-1000 to +1000 counts).
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 BX-B31 bargraph meter Input signal 0 to 10 V to read zero to full scale.
Signal Span = 10 V, Display Span = 30 segments
1 Select the 2 V INPUT RANGE Header position. The standard direct scaling will provide a display of 30 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 BX-B31 Bargraph meter.
Input signal 1 to 5 V to read zero to full scale.
Signal Span = 4 V, Display Span = 30 segments
1 If the module has an INPUT RANGE Header the 2 V position should be selected. This will provide a display of 30 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 30 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 8.5 segments. A 4 V input would then read 30 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 BX-B31 Bargraph meter Input signal 4 to 20 mA to read zero to full scale Signal Span = 16 mA, Display Span = 30 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 30 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 8.5 segments. A 16 mA input would then read 30 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 8.5 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.

Over View of Display Modes, Scaling Capabilities and Operating Modes
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.
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.
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.

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

1) See pages 10 12 for information on input modules that may be use with this
meter.
2) Confirm that the correct range and input is selected on the input signal condition-

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
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.
STeP D SeT THe lOW INPuT SIgNAl ReADINg ON THe BAR
1) Apply the LO input signal (-1V in this example) to the input pins.
2) Using the 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 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.

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 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.

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 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.
Page 14
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.
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.

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.

Lynx Indicator Calibration Setup To successfully calibrate a Lynx indicator over the input signal span with an IA09 or IA11 input module installed, the headers must be correctly set and the span pot adjusted to the final displa y setting.
Example
With an IA11 input module installed in a DX-35 L ynx indicator, we want to show a digital representation of a 5 A input signal o n the display. As the DX-35 has a maximum of 1999 counts, 5 A could easily be shown to two decimal places by setting the span setting to
500 counts.
To configure the input module to sho w 500 counts for an isolated input signal of 5 A, proceed as f ollows:
1) The first adjustment to mak e is the coarse r ange setting. Set the span range header to the LO W position (See Figure 8).
This effectively halves the maximum counts of the DX-35 from 1999 to
1000 (+ or 20% of 1999.This could be as much as 400 counts).
2) The next adjustment is the fine r ange setting. Set the span adjust header to the 40% position (See Figure 9).
This position should lea ve you with a display setting lower than 500 counts.
By how much, depends on the position of the span pot.
3) The final adjustment can no w be made
using the span pot (See Figure 10).
As the display reading is below the required setting of 500 counts, tur n the span pot clockwise to increase the counts until the display shows a reading of 500 counts.

Counter Functions
Counter inputs A, B, and C can be portrayed as a train of pulses having a rising edge ( ) between a low and high signal level. Depending on the counter function selected, these inputs may vary in phase to each other. In the case of a shaft encoder, the A signal lags the B signal by 90 and the primary counter decrements when the shaft is rotated clockwise. To change the direction of rotation to countercloc kwise, reverse the A and B signal inputs at the connector (see Figure 1). The C signal occurs once per revolution.

C Signal Functions
C signal functions operate with the A and B signal functions and influence the pr imary and secondary gate and capture counters.
Capture A, B Mode The capture A, B mode provides a snapshot of the pr imary and secondary counters. It is a straight transfer of the values from the primary and secondary counters to primary and secondary capture.
See Figure 15.

The primary and secondary counters are not affected by the operation and no counts are lost.
The primary counter value is loaded into primary capture on a falling edge (

The secondary counter value is loaded into secondary capture ) C signal. on a falling edge (
Application:
This mode is useful to capture positional inf ormation in relation to an e xternal event. To track if an y errors occur, the positi onal information could be used as a ref erence that the encoder can be compared against.
Figure 15 Capture A, B Mode
Gate Count A, B In this mode the primary and secondary gate counters are updated with the number of pulses that occur in the primary (A signal) and secondary (B signal) counters respectively between consecutive falling edge C signal pulses. The primary and secondary counters are not reset and continue to count after each update of the gate counters. The gate count A, B mode oper ates as follows:
See Figure 16.
The value in the primary counter on the pre vious falling edge (
) C signal is subtracted from the v alue in the primary counter on the ) C signal and loaded into the primary gate counter. The primary counter continues to count up and is not

The value in the secondary counter on the previous falling edge (
) C signal is subtracted from the value in the secondary counter on ) C signal and loaded into the secondary gate counter. The secondary counter continues to count up
the most recent falling edge ( and is not reset after each e vent.
Note:
The gate secondary counter is only updated in the A & B independent mode.
Application:

useful to capture
rate inf ormation
in relation to an external e vent.
For e xample, you may want to know ho w m uch product was produced per shift.
At the star t of the shift, the

In this mode the primary and secondary counters are reset to the value stored in the meters primary and secondary reset offset registers (registers 121 and 122 respectively). Primary and secondary counters continue counting after being reset to the reset offset values.
The reset to offset & star t A, B mode operates as follows:
See Figure 18.
The pr imary and secondar y counrising
ters begin counting on a edge (
) C signal.
On a falling edge (
) C signal the
primary counter is reset to the value stored in the primary reset offset register (121), and the secondary counter reset to the v alue stored in the secondary reset offset register (122).
Figure 18 Reset to Offset & Star t Mode
The default setting of the pr imary and secondary reset offset registers is 0. To change the value stored in these registers:
Connect the meter to a PC r unning a terminal program.
Start the terminal program.
Access register 121 and change the offset to the required v alue.
Access register 122 and change the offset to the required v alue.

Application:
This mode is useful f or when an e xternal reset is required. For example, A pushbutton on the C input can be used to reset to 0, or forward the counter to a kno wn count. The counter starts again when the button is released.
C Count Mode
In this mode the primary counter increments on a rising edge (
) C signal only.
See Figure 19.
Application:
This mode is useful for multi-input systems.
Figure 19 C Count Mode
Reset to Offset A, B Mode In this mode the primary and secondary counters are also reset to the value stored in the meters primary and secondary reset offset registers (registers 121 and 122 respectiv ely). But, in this mode, the pr imary and secondar y counters contin ue counting after be ing reset to the reset offset v alues.
See Figure 20.
The reset to offset A, B mode oper ates as follows:
On a falling edge (
) C signal the primary counter is reset to the value stored in the primary reset offset register (121), and the secondary counter reset to the value stored in the secondary reset offset register (122).
The pr imary and secondar y counters contin ue to count on
being reset.
Application:
This mode is useful for setting a position to a known reference position. For example, a microswitch can be positioned at home and used as an input to C on a milling tab le. Now every time the home position is encountered, the counter is set to a kno wn position.

Setting Up IF05 for BL-40F and DL-40F Frequency
Meters
To set up the IF05 input module f or frequency input in a Leopard BL-40F or DL-40F frequency meter, carry out the following procedures:
Step 1
Establish the scale factor for the desired display reading
Maximum Display Range
Input Frequency
x Required Display Reading

Step 2
Set the new scale factor
Step 3
Select the range for the desired display reading
Step 4

Frequency Meter
Calibrated
Step 1 Establish the Scale Factor Establish the scale f actor for the desired displa y reading. The default scale factor is 9999. If you want the scale f actor to be anything other than the input frequency or m ultiples of 10 of the input frequency, then a new scale factor must be established and set.
For example:
If we had an input frequency of 4 Hz and required a displa y reading of 400 counts, then the scale factor would not change from 9999.
But, if we had an input frequency of 4 Hz and required a displa y reading of 120 counts, then the scale f actor would be 2999. To establish a new scale factor, carry out the following calculation:
Maximum Display Range
(Default Scale Factor)
Input Frequency
Required Display Reading = Scale Factor
Example:
9999
x 120 = 2999

Texmate, Inc. Tel. (760) 598-9899 www.texmate.com
Page 5
Step 2 Set the Ne w Scale Factor If the scale factor has to change, enter the meter calibration mode and set the new scale factor. See Figure 11 Calibration Logic Diagram.
Step 3 Select the Rang e for the Desired Display Reading The range multiplier and the decimal point position settings allo w you to set the the display resolution to suit the desired di splay reading. The range multiplier allows you to display the reading using either a x1, x10, or x100 range setting. For example, if you had a 4 Hz frequency input and wanted it to display as 400, you would choose the x100 range multiplier.
But, what if you had a 4 Hz input and wanted it to display as 120. First you would need to establish and set the new scale factor. Then you apply the same pr inciple as you would for 4 Hz to displa y 400 counts. 4 Hz is a single digit n umber and you require it to be displayed as 120 counts. 120 counts is a 3-digit number, so you effectively apply the x100 range multiplier, but because of the new scale factor, instead of displaying as 400 it is displa yed as 120.
Table 1 shows how to use the range multiplier for a range of frequency inputs where the scale factor has not been changed. If the scale factor is changed, the number of digits shown depends on the range multiplier chosen.
Note, the decimal point sho wn on the displa y at this point is not the setting f or the decimal point, but merely a means of displa ying the range multiplier setting.

Module
The Tiger 320 Series controller has four input channels capable of processing almost any input signal type. The IF10 universal frequency/counter input module uses only channels 1 (CH1) and 2 (CH2).
The IF10 input module receives and conditions an AC volts or digital input signal, via pin 1, and supplies a frequency input to CH1 and CH2 in the meter for further processing. CH1 can also be configured as an UP counter via software selection in Code 2 of the meters programming software. CH2 can be configured as an UP or DOWN counter. The UP/DOWN counter control signal for CH2 is connected to pin 4. With the frequency/counter selection header set to the COUNT position, the input module provides an UP counter output to the meter for further processing. To provide a DOWN counter, pin 4 must be connected to ground (pin 3).
Selectable on-board headers provide configuration settings allowing the sensor and signal type to be selected along with high and low-pass filtering. These selectable headers give the Tiger 320 Series the flexibility to perform dual software operations such as rate of change on CH1 and totalizing on CH2.

Tiger 320 Series Meter Settings Frequency and counter settings are configured in Codes 2 and 4 of the Tiger 320 Series meters main programming mode. Channel 1 frequency settings are configured in Code 2. Channel 2 frequency and counter settings are configured in Code 4.
The following example diagrams show the various header settings and input connections required for a range of input sensor types.
Example 1 NPN Open-collector Output with Proximity Switch Figure 3 shows a 3-wire proximity switch taking +24 V excitation from the meter with an NPN open-collector signal output connected to the input module as frequency with no filtering (CH1 and CH2).
The input header is set to SINK connecting the signal output to +24 V via an on-board 10 k pull-up resistor. As the proximity switch is activated, the signal is forced to ground.

The input header is set to SOURCE connecting the input signal to a 10 k pull-down resistor to ground. When the proximity switch is activated, the input signal switches from 0 V to +24 V.

Example 3 Hall Effect / Magnetic Pickup mV Input Figure 5 shows a magnetic pickup. With small AC signals a shielded cable should be used to avoid stray pickup.
Figure 5 HAll Effect / Magnetic Pickup mV Input
Example 4 TTL Input Figure 6 shows a TTL input. The TTL input requires the sensor header to be placed in the SINK position. In this example the TTL logic has a separate +5 V supply. The input module is configured as a DOWN counter on CH2 and a frequency input on CH1. This requires pin 4 connected to ground (pin 3) to select the DOWN counter option and the frequency/counter header set to COUNT. The digital option (LOGIC) is selected on the signal type header.
Figure 6 TTL Input
Example 5 Digital Input with DC Voltage Offset Figure 7 shows a digital input with voltage offset. In this situation the DC component of the signal is removed by selecting the AC option on the decoupling header. The digital input has its own supply voltage. CH1 reads frequency. CH2 is set as an UP counter.

Example 6 Pushbutton Switch with Frequency & UP Counter Option Figure 8 shows a pushbutton switch with frequency on CH1 and the UP counter option on CH2. The low-pass filter header is set to
200 Hz to debounce mechanical contacts. Sensor type is set to SINK to pull-up the input signal to +24 V until it is switched to ground when the pushbutton is pressed.
Figure 8 Pushbutton Switch with Frequency & UP Counter
Example 7 NAMUR Sensor Figure 9 shows a NAMUR 2-wire proximity detector as an UP counter on CH2. Set the sensor header to NAMUR to ensure the detector has the correct output load (2 k pull-down resistor) and to protect the sensor at +24 V excitation voltage. The current output of these detectors vary in response to the proximity of the target metal.
Figure 9 NAMUR Sensor
One method of calibrating the IF10 input module is to use a frequency generator to apply a low and high input, while setting zero and span settings via the two-point calibration mode. Unfortunately, a frequency generator is not always available to a user in the field and, therefore, manual calibration needs to be carried out by changing the controllers scale factor.
Flow sensors such as paddlewheel and turbine types generate a known number of pulses for each unit of volume of fluid passing the rotor blade. This constant is known as the K factor and is used to determine the flow rate or total flow from the number of pulses occurring per second.
To calibrate the IF10 input module in applications using pulse, flow, and proximity sensors, the manufacturer provides either the K factor specified for the sensor, or a pulses per engineering unit chart (liters, gallons, feet, inches, meters, millimeters, revolution). From this information, The K factor can be easily converted to a scale factor and the scale factor manually entered into the controller.
Depending on the channel used and the type of input signal, follow the sequence of steps in one of the following manual calibration procedure sequence charts:
Channel 1:
As a frequency signal to the controller.
As an UP counter.
Channel 2:
As a frequency signal to the controller.
As an UP or DOWN counter.
Frequency Input
As a frequency input to the meter, a different scale factor can be used in CH1 to suit the required engineering units. To calculate and set a new scale factor, carry out the manual calibration procedure in the following sequence:
UP Counter
As with CH1 set to frequency, a different scale factor can be used in CH1 to suit the required engineering units. The configuration procedure is identical for the first five steps, but in Step 6 the frequency input signal can be selected in software as an UP counter. To calculate and set a new scale factor, carry out the manual calibration procedure in the following sequence:

Step 1 Establish the K Factor The manufacturer of the sensor normally provides either the K factor specified for the sensor, or a pulses per engineering unit chart, shown in pulses per liter, gallon, feet, inch, meter, millimeter, or revolution. Either way the K factor is the same:
A K factor of 250 is the same as 250 pulses/unit for a specified sensor application
Step 2 Calculate the Scale Factor From the K factor, the scale factor can be calculated by dividing K into unity.
For example:
A paddlewheel sensor generates 213 pulses per gallon of fluid passing the rotor.
If K = 213 (213 pulses/gallon)
Then
= 0.0047 gallons/pulse = the scale factor
The resultant scale factor is then entered into the controller in the calibration mode.
The controller receives the input signal from the sensor as pulses and treats them as a frequency measurement task. The final controller display is in units of frequency, i.e. hertz, but equivalent to the flow rate scaled to the appropriate engineering units, for example: gallons/second.
A rotary encoder placed on a milling table generates 500 pulses per foot of travel.
Therefore, if K = 500 (500 pulses/foot)
Then
= 0.002 feet/pulse = the scale factor
Again, the resultant scale factor is then entered into the controller in the calibration mode. The controller receives the input signal from the sensor as pulses and treats them as a frequency measurement task. The final controller display is in units of frequency, i.e. hertz, but equivalent to the feed rate scaled to the appropriate engineering units, for example: feet/second.
Note:
If you require units per minute divide the scale factor by 60.
If you require units per hour divide the scale factor by 3600.
Step 3 Enter the New Scale Factor When you have established the new scale factor, enter the controllers calibration mode [CAL] and set to [10X]. The X in the 3rd digit means you must select the relevant channel for the input signal. Enter this mode and set the offset setting [OFF_1] to 0 and the scale setting [SCA_1] to the new scale factor.

Figure 1 IGYX Direct Pressure Sensor Input Module
The Tiger 320 Series controller has four input channels capable of processing almost any input signal type.The direct pressure sensor input module IGYX uses only channels 1 and 2 and also the controller s digital inputs D1 and D2.
The input module processes the pressure input via a b uilt-in pressure sensor capab le of processing an absolute or diff erential pressure input. The pressure signal is then f ed to CH1 f or further processing. Gain setting resistors are f actory installed to optimiz e the full scale output for each pressure r ange. Contact Texmate when ordering to discuss your pressure range requirements.
In addition to the pressure sensor, there is a digital interf ace with independent dual inputs and a 24 V excitation voltage. Each input uses an input header to interface to standard open collector (PNP or NPN), TTL, or millivolt digital signals. Frequency or counter inputs are f ed through input 1 where the y are conditioned and have the option of lo w-pass filtering, via a selection header, then fed to CH2 for further processing. Input 1 can also receive status inputs that are conditioned and fed to the controllers digital input D1, where it can be used f or setpoint control or macro functions. Input 2 receives status inputs that are conditioned and fed to the controllers digital input D2, where it can also be used f or setpoint control or macro functions.

Status inputs D1 and D2 are an activation source for any of the six available setpoints. The selected setpoint is individually configured in the setpoint control function settings menu of the setpoint programming mode. Enter the setpoint programming mode, adjust the activation value of the selected setpoint, and then enter the rele vant setpoint control function menu (SPC_X) and select the requir ed status input (D1 or D2).
The following example diagrams show the various header settings required f or a range of digital inputs to the digital interf ace (inputs
1 and 2). Inputs to the pressure sensor are not sho wn, but can be either absolute or diff erential.
Example 1 Frequency Input with 1 kHz Lo w-pass Filter Figure 3 shows a transducer with an open collector NPN transistor output connected to digital input 1 (CH2/D1). In this case the transducer has its o wn power supply and the signal output is an open collector NPN transistor. By positioning input header CNT1 to the NPN position, a 10 k pull-up resistor ties the signal output to +24 V. The negative supply of the transducer is common to the g round
(GND) pin of the input module. When the transistor switches ON, the voltage of digital input 1 changes from +24 V to 2.5 V (J2 closed).
Figure 3 Open Collector PNP Transistor Connected to Digital Input 1
Example 2 Monitoring Voltage Level Shifts Figure 4 shows a transducer with an open collector PNP transistor output type connected to digital input 2 (D2) to monitor voltage level shifts. In this example the transducer uses the +24 V supply of the Tiger meter. By positioning input header CNT2 to the PNP position, a
10 k pull-down resistor ties the transducer signal to 2.5 V (J2 closed). When the transducer switches ON, the signal output changes from 2.5 V to +24 V DC. The Tiger 320 Series controller software reads digital input D2.

Example 3 TTL Output Configured as a HS Do wn Counter Figure 5 shows a transducer having its own external power supply of +5 V DC connected to digital input 1 and configured as a hi gh speed down counter on CH2. Input header CNT1 is positioned for TTL and this forces the 0 to 5 V transducer signal to be pulled down to 2.5 V (J2 closed). This ensures the input signal v aries about 0 V and all counts are detected.
Figure 5 TTL Signal Connected to Digital Input 1
Example 4 Transducer Input Configured as Up Counter Figure 6 shows a transducer that produces a slow 300 mV peak-to-peak output. The magnitude of the signal is less than 2.5 V peakto-peak. This means jumper J2 must be cut so that the mean signal passes through z ero. The signal is connected to input 1 as an u p counter with low-pass filtering.
Figure 6 mV AC Signal Connected to Digital Input 1
Example 5 Switch Closure Figure 7 shows a switch connected to both digital inputs. Digital input 1 acts as an up counter with low-pass filtering to record the number of switch closures. Digital input 2 acts as a status input on D2. Input 1 header (CNT1) and input 2 header (CNT2) are set to NPN for 10 k pull-up resistors to +24 V. Closing the switch sets both inputs to 2.5 V.

Calibration
Both channel 1 and channel 2 m ust be individually calibr ated using the tw o-point calibration method. Calibration must be done us ing a source of pressure equal to the pressure r ange you selected for your meter. For example, if you selected 0-5 psi f or CH1, then you should be able to apply a pressure of 5 psi from y our source for the meter s [SPAn] setting. See Figure 3 and the 2-point calibr ation procedure on the next page.
1) Enter the meters calibration mode and set the display to [111]. This sets you up to calibrate CH1 using the 2-point method.
2) While in the [ZEro] setting mode with no pressure applied, set the displa y to the n umber of counts you want to see on the dis play for the
zero setting.
3) Now enter the [SPAn] setting mode and apply the maximum pressure for CH1. Set the display to the number of counts you want to see on
the display for the span setting (full scale).
4) Save the CH1 settings and repeat the procedure f or CH2 by setting the calibration mode to [112].
The low input source is applied to the meter when setting the zero value.
The high input source is applied to the meter when setting the span value.

The diagram shows an external transducer requiring external excitation wired to input module ISD3 or ISD4 through signal 1.
A signal <2 V requires the signal 1 (CH1) attenuation header to be set to the ON position.
The external supply requires signal 1 (CH1) e xcitation header to be set to the ON position.
The meter uses three smar t setup registers to configure all smar t input modules. Input modules ISD1 and ISD2 require smart register 1 to be set up, while input modules ISD3 and ISD4 require smart register 1 and smart register 2 to be set up. All four modules are single input signal modules with the choice of tw o channels. ISD3 and ISD4 also has two solid state rela y (SSR) outputs dr iven b y SP5 and SP6 control.
SSR1 is controlled by SP5 and SSR2 is controlled b y SP6.
The following programming procedures co ver all the steps required to configure ISD1 to ISD4. Steps 1 to 5 describe how to select the line frequency rejection, the voltage range and input signal, and the output rate through smart register 1.
Steps 6 to 9 descr ibe ho w to select the SSR (SR1 and SR2) output mode f or SP5 and SP6 control through smart register 2. Steps 10 onwards describe how to select the output register for channels 1, 2, 3, and 4 as required.
Note, as ISD1 and ISD2 do not have SSRs, smart register 2 is not programmed.
ISD1 is factory software set to 50 Hz rejection.
ISD2 is factory software set to 60 Hz rejection.

The meter has three smart setup registers to configure all smar t input modules.
ISD9 requires smart registers 1 and 2 to be configured. Because this is a dual input module, measuring voltage and resistance, independent sensor inputs can be software selected for Tiger 320 Series meter channels 1, 2, 3, and 4. This module produces two output registers. One of these registers can be transferred to Channel 1 via Code 2, the same or another register to Channel 2 via Code 4, the same or another regi ster to Channel 3 via Code 5, and the same or another register to Channel 4 via Code 6.

LVDT sensors can be applied to almost all engineer ing applications from civil, mechanical, petrochemical, and power generation, to production, aerospace, defense, and much more.
They can be used on production lines to automatically gauge products for quality control and product sorting. In the power generation and petrochemical industries they can be used, for example, as servo position feedback on actuated equipment such as valves and dampers, or for measuring turbine casing expansion.
Submersible units can be used in mar ine and offshore mining applications, and sensors that meet militar y environmental standards have been applied to defense and aerospace applications.
Dual LVDT smart input module ISL1 / ISL2 is the ideal interf ace between LVDT sensors and the unr ivaled control functionality of the Tiger 320 Ser ies operating system. This combination is ideal f or multi-dimensional linear displacement measurement applications. Programmable excitation v oltage, ultr a-low noise high speed signal processing, and dual control outputs are standard f eatures of this input module.
The following are example applications that show the versatility of the LVDT200 controller.
Example Setup Procedure
An LVDT transducer is fitted to the shak er head of a vibration tester to measure dynamic displacement versus time. The shaker head vibrates at approximately 100 Hz frequency and a 3 mm peak to peak amplitude.
The excitation frequency is set at 2.4 kHz, 24 times g reater than the mechanical vibration frequency, and a 50 Hz line frequency rejection (suitab le for 50 Hz power supply areas). A single channel fast option with a 40 Hz average and a 1600 Hz sampling speed is selected. If this averaged result exceeds 3.500 mm then CONTROL 1 is activated and a buzzer sounds.

Macro Programming
Prior to shipping, Texmate configures the controller with a macro. The macro automates the prog rammable functions a vailable in the controller to perf orm our customers requested functions. The macro is programmed on a PC using Texmates in-house de velopment softw are prog ram, kno wn as the Tiger Development System (TDS) compiler program. The TDS compiler saves the macro as a.bas file that is then downloaded to the controller.
Tiger 320 Macro Overview The Tiger 320 Series of programmable meter controllers have been designed to incorporate the analog and digital functionality of an intelligent controller with the logic of a PLC.
Traditionally, the PLC approach is to build a working application entirely in some form of programming language. The approach used in the Tiger 320 Series of controllers is to b uild an application by selecting the pre-programmed functions of the controller and then adding small amounts of prog rammability and logic where needed.
The operating system of the Tiger 320 controller controls all the pre-prog rammed functions, handling the input, averaging, scaling, linear ization, totalization and m uch more, as w ell as dr iving the displa y, timers, relays, analog and ser ial outputs. Once configured, these functions are e xecuted by the operating system and form the basis of a control system.
To form an advanced automation and control system you only need to write a small program that adds the extra logic required. We call this program a macro. A macro can be wr itten specifically for your application and is used to initiate a sequence, reconfigure, or disable some of the controller functions. With Texmate's
22 I/O plug-in module installed, a macro fur ther expands the Tiger 320 oper ating system with additional digital status inputs and digital s witched outputs.
Custom Macro Programming
Texmates Tiger Development System (TDS) enables a macro to be wr itten and compiled in BASIC, utilizing any combination of the hundreds of functions and thousands of registers embedded in the Tiger 320 Operating System. When y our BASIC prog ram is compiled into Tiger 320 Macro-language it is error checked and optimized.
Macros are useful when implementing a specializ ed control system that cannot be achie ved by the standard configuration capability of the Tiger 320 Operating System. Using the TDS software, functions can be altered or added in a standard controller to perf sequencing functions and mathematical functions.
orm the required job. This ma y typically include logic
Developing a Macro is m uch easier and quicker than programming a PLC, because the basic code required to customize the Tiger meter is considerably less than the ladder logic prog ramming required for PLCs. This is due to the hundreds of functions built into the Tiger controller that can be manipulated or invoked by a macro to fulfill the requirements of almost an y application.
Scrolling display messages can be prog rammed to appear with an y setpoint activation, selected event, or logic input. Easy to read, plain text prompts can be programmed to replace the manual programming codes and provide a user-friendly interface for any custom application.

ISS7/8 is a 4-channel smar t load cell input module that can pro vide excitation for a maximum of eight load cells. The input module can receive four independent sensor input signals through four channels from any combination of up to eight load cells.
Being a smar t input module means that it can perf orm the f ollowing pre-processing functions on the input signals of all f our channels, prior to processing in the Tiger 320 meter:
Select the line frequency for all four inputs.
Select the signal range for all four inputs.
Select the averaged output rate for all four inputs.
Input Module
Tiger 320 Series Controller
Figure 1 Up to Eight Load Cell Sensor Inputs into Four Input Module Channels
The preferred method of connecting load cells to the ISS7/8 input module is via the DIN rail mount terminal block. Unlike simple junction bo xes that combine all load cell input signals into one sensor input prior to processing in a controller, the load cell terminal block can interface eight load cells into as many as four independent sensor groups. For example, sensor input 1 could have four load cells, sensor input 2 could ha ve two load cells, sensor input 3 could ha ve one load cell, and sensor input 4 could also ha ve one load cell. This provides four averaged signals for pre-processing via the four channels of the input module's 16-bit A/D con vertor and built-in microprocessor.
Diagnostic Capability
Having four independent inputs provides a diagnostic capability to quickly detect which sensor input is s vie w faulty. Using the meter modes, all four input channel readings can be quic kly vie wed. This allows incorrectly installed, connected, or damaged load cells to be quickly identified and then repaired.

Weight Distribution Monitoring
Having four independent load cell inputs is also useful in the load distr ibution and wind loading areas of dr y mater ial handling. With individual inputs from each support on a silo, it is possible to detect uneven distribution of mass within the silo (See Figure 3). Wind loading is a potentially dangerous hazard with high silos, especially when empty. Setpoint alarms can be configured for each load cell to activ ate when the wind load exceeds a pre-set limit.
Figure 3 Weight Distribution in Dry Material Silo

Connecting the load cells directly to the input module is an option, b ut means that a maxim um of only f our load cells can be connected and processed. In most cases connecting through the terminal b lock simplifies connections and allo ws for up to eight load cells to be connected (See Figure 5).

Connection to the DIN rail mount terminal block and the input module is via a shielded 16-wire IDC cable available in user selectable lengths. For example, the Tiger 320 controller and input module could be sited about 5 meters from the load cells. In this case, the terminal block would be located close to the load cells and connected, b y a 5 meter length of IDC cable, to the controller housed in an enclosure. Also, the controller could possib ly be linked to a central control through a serial communications link (See Figure 6).
Figure 6 Example of Three Load Cells Connected to the Meter via the Terminal Block
Alternatively, both the controller and the ter minal block could be mounted on a DIN r ail within an enclosure and connected using a standard shor t ribbon cable (See Figure 7).

The meter uses three smar t setup registers to configure smar t input modules. ISS7 and ISS8 require smart registers 1 and 2 to be set up.
This input module produces four output registers, each being the averaged result of one or more input sensors. One of these registers can be transferred to CH1 via Code 2, the same or another register tr ansferred to CH2 via Code 4, the same or another register tr ansferred to CH3 via Code 5, and the same or another register tr ansferred to CH4 via Code 6.
Smart register 1 allows you to select the following settings:
A line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz f or all four sensor inputs.
The input signal range for sensor input 1 only from 1, 2, 3, or 20 mV/V.
And the output r ate for all f our sensor inputs from 0.5, 1, 5, or 10 Hz
(Note: If more than one type of load cell is installed, the output rate selected must correspond to the load cell requir ing the fastest output rate).
Smart register 2 allows you to select the input signal r ange for sensor inputs 2, 3, and 4.

In our example, a hopper fills boxes travelling along a conveyor belt. A rotary encoder monitors the conveyor speed and a light beam sensor indicates when the bo x to be filled is in position belo w the hopper. A load cell under the conveyor weighs the box.
The rotary encoder is connected to status input D1 and assigned to CH1. The light beam sensor is connected to status input D2 and assigned to CH2. The load cell is configured f or 3 mV/V input with 50 Hz line frequency rejection. As the boxes are filled relatively quickly, the averaged output rate is set to 10 Hz on CH3.
The frequency output from the encoder is in the 0 to 1 kHz r ange (360 pulse/revolution). The light sensor has its beam broken at a much slower rate.

There are two methods of configuring the IST1/IST2 smart input module:
By the user through the front panel using the code menus, or
By preconfiguring the controller with a macro.
Front Panel Programming
The controller has four input channels available for processing sensor input signals when programming through the front panel. All six sensors can be connected to the input module at the same time, but only four can be selected and processed at any one time.
Macro Programming
With a macro installed, the controller can process all six sensor input signals at the same time. A macro can be either pre-compiled and installed by Texmate before the module leaves the factory, or compiled and installed by the customer. See Page 10 for a brief overview of the Tiger Macro Development System (TDS).
A full set of tutorial documents for macro programming are available online at www.texmate.com.
Alternatively, printed copies can be sent on request.

The IST1 and the IST2 have 5 active smart output registers available. Access to the fifth register (or all registers) can be done through a simple macro string as demonstrated in the example macro below.
First set Code 7 to [000] so that the Result register (& Result) is not updated by any math function. In the example macro below the Main Macro defines the Result register as the 5th smart output register (&SMART_RESULT5). In this way CH1 to CH4 contain the first four smart output registers and the Result contains the fifth.
Macros are powerful tools used to increase the versatility and range of the Tiger controller beyond the standard code settings. For further information on macros and the registers in the Tiger 320 operating system see the following literature:

Tiger 320 Macro Overview The Tiger 320 Series of programmable meter controllers have been designed to incorporate the analog and digital functionality of an intelligent controller with the logic of a PLC.
Traditionally, the PLC approach is to build a working application entirely in some form of programming language. The approach used in the Tiger 320 Series of controllers is to build an application by selecting the pre-programmed functions of the controller and then adding small amounts of programmability and logic where needed.
The operating system of the Tiger 320 controller controls all the pre-programmed functions, handling the input, averaging, scaling, linearization, totalization and much more, as well as driving the display, timers, relays, analog and serial outputs. Once configured, these functions are executed by the operating system and form the basis of a control system.
To form an advanced automation and control system you only need to write a small program that adds the extra logic required. We call this program a macro. A macro can be written specifically for your application and is used to initiate a sequence, reconfigure, or disable some of the controller functions. With Texmate's 22 I/O plug-in module installed, a macro further expands the Tiger 320 operating system with additional digital status inputs and digital switched outputs.

Macro control is ideal for many OEM applications that require analog, digital, and timer functions with sophisticated mathematical and enhanced logic operations. The macro concept has major cost advantages for large or small sophisticated applications that require some degree of programmable logic control with display and front panel control.
Custom Macro Programming
Texmates Tiger Development System (TDS) enables a macro to be written and compiled in BASIC, utilizing any combination of the hundreds of functions and thousands of registers embedded in the Tiger 320 Operating System. When your BASIC program is compiled into Tiger
320 Macro-language it is error checked and optimized.

Macros are useful when implementing a specialized control system that cannot be achieved by the standard configuration capability of the Tiger 320 Operating System. Using the TDS software, functions can be altered or added in a standard controller to perform the required job.
This may typically include logic sequencing functions and mathematical functions.
Developing a Macro is much easier and quicker than programming a PLC, because the basic code required to customize the Tiger meter is considerably less than the ladder logic programming required for PLCs. This is due to the hundreds of functions built into the Tiger controller that can be manipulated or invoked by a macro to fulfill the requirements of almost any application.
Scrolling display messages can be programmed to appear with any setpoint activation, selected event, or logic input. Easy to read, plain text prompts can be programmed to replace the manual programming codes and provide a user-friendly interface for any custom application.
Scrolling Text Messaging
Scrolling text messaging is another bonus from running a macro. Any number of messages for detailed operator instructions, of up to 100 characters each, can be written into the macro during compilation for detailed operator instructions, alarm and control applications.
A scrolling text message can be written for OEMs and sensor manufacturers providing informative instructions for setup and calibration procedures.

Calibrating the IST5 dual RTD smart input module is done in the f ollowing two steps:
Perform a simulated RTD input calibration procedure.
Perform a full scale calibration procedure.
Simulated RTD Input Calibration Procedure To gain the best performance from and linearization of RTD signals, the input module should be initially calibrated using a sim ulated RTD input signal of 32 F (0 C). Fine calibration is a means of initially calibr ating the input module using tw o 100 precision resistors to simulate an RTD input signal of 32 F. This is normally done before the input module leaves the factory. But, if recalibration is required, connect two 100 precision resistors to the input module according to the connection diagram shown in Figure 6 and carry out the following steps.

Carry out the same steps as f or CH1 to to set the offset and full scale settings f or CH2.
3) While still in the main prog ramming mode set CH1 to displa y RTD1 and CH2 to displa y RTD2 using the f ol-
lowing codes:
for CH1 enter Code 2 and select R TD1 in the 3rd digit. See Step 9 on Page 4.
for CH2 enter Code 4 and select R TD2 in the 2nd digit. See Step 10 on Page 5.
4) While viewing CH1, adjust the trimpot until the display reads 3200 counts. This represents 32.00 F.
Both CH1 and CH2 are now calibrated.
Full Scale Calibration Procedure The RTDs can be calibrated in F or C. A calibration source is the easiest method to calibr ate a zero and full scale setting, otherwise, the known resistance values for the temperatures must be used:
RTD Pt 385:
0 C is equivalent to 100 .
100 C is equivalent to 138.5 .
For example:
Offset (low setting) is zero (0 C).
Full scale setting is 100 C.

The Tiger controller uses three smart setup registers to configure all smart input modules. Line frequency rejection (50 / 60 Hz) and RTD type are configured in smart register 1 (SMT1). See Figure 3.
Smart register 1 allows you to select the following settings:
Line frequency rejection of 50 or 60 Hz for all three RTD inputs.
RTD type: Pt385 or Pt392 for all RTD types.
A standard sampling rate of 800 / 960 Hz (50 / 60 Hz) is applied to all inputs.
The module produces three output registers (3 RTD), each being the 20 Hz averaged result of the input sensors. One of these registers can be transferred to CH1 via Code 2, the same or another register transferred to CH2 via Code 4, the same or another register transferred to CH3 via Code 5, and the same or another register transferred to CH4 via Code 6.

Tiger 320 Macro Overview The Tiger 320 Series of programmable meter controllers have been designed to incorporate the analog and digital functionality of an intelligent controller with the logic of a PLC.
Traditionally, the PLC approach is to build a working application entirely in some form of programming language. The approach used in the Tiger 320 Series of controllers is to build an application by selecting the pre-programmed functions of the controller and then adding small amounts of programmability and logic where needed.
The operating system of the Tiger 320 controller controls all the pre-programmed functions, handling the input, averaging, scaling, linearization, totalization and much more, as well as driving the display, timers, relays, analog and serial outputs. Once configured, these functions are executed by the operating system and form the basis of a control system.
To form an advanced automation and control system you only need to write a small program that adds the extra logic required. We call this program a macro. A macro can be written specifically for your application and is used to initiate a sequence, reconfigure, or disable some of the controller functions. With Texmate's 22 I/O plug-in module installed, a macro further expands the Tiger 320 operating system with additional digital status inputs and digital switched outputs.

Macro control is ideal for many OEM applications that require analog, digital, and timer functions with sophisticated mathematical and enhanced logic operations. The macro concept has major cost advantages for large or small sophisticated applications that require some degree of programmable logic control with display and front panel control.
Custom Macro Programming
Texmates Tiger Development System (TDS) enables a macro to be written and compiled in BASIC, utilizing any combination of the hundreds of functions and thousands of registers embedded in the Tiger 320 Operating System. When your BASIC program is compiled into Tiger 320 Macro-language it is error checked and optimized.
Page 7
Macros are useful when implementing a specialized control system that cannot be achieved by the standard configuration capability of the Tiger 320 Operating System.
Using the TDS software, functions can be altered or added in a standard controller to perform the required job. This may typically include logic sequencing functions and mathematical functions.
Developing a Macro is much easier and quicker than programming a PLC, because the basic code required to customize the Tiger meter is considerably less than the ladder logic programming required for PLCs. This is due to the hundreds of functions built into the Tiger controller that can be manipulated or invoked by a macro to fulfill the requirements of almost any application.
Scrolling display messages can be programmed to appear with any setpoint activation, selected event, or logic input. Easy to read, plain text prompts can be programmed to replace the manual programming codes and provide a user-friendly interface for any custom application.
Scrolling Text Messaging
Scrolling text messaging is another bonus from running a macro. Any number of messages for detailed operator instructions, of up to 100 characters each, can be written into the macro during compilation for detailed operator instructions, alarm and control applications.
A scrolling text message can be written for OEMs and sensor manufacturers providing informative instructions for setup and calibration procedures.

Figure 1 Single Phase, 2-wire Configuration
Figure 2 Single Phase, 3-wire Configuration
The meter uses three smart setup registers to configure all smart input modules. Input modules IW04/5 require only smart register 1 to be set up. These modules produce four output registers.
One of these registers can be transferred to Channel 1 via Code 2, the same or another register to Channel
2 via Code 4, the same or another register to Channel 3 via Code 5, and the same or another register to Channel 4 via Code 6.
Input modules IW01/2/4/5 have a zero crossing detector that is available for direct line-frequency measurement in Channel 2. The following resolution settings can be selected in Code 4:
0 to 99.999 Hz, 0.001 Hz resolution.
Set Code 4 to [30X].
0 to 999.99 Hz, 0.01 Hz resolution.
Set Code 4 to [31X].
Note, the direct line-frequency measurement setting for channel 2 is a hard-wired option and, if selected, means channel 2 is not available for selecting an output register.

DI-503 WHITE TRIM 2/May/02
Our customer has a powerful single phase motor connected to the 120 V rms supply. The motor can draw up to 200 A rms under full load. As part of the supervisory programme, the owner requires to monitor the line voltage, current draw, and resultant power usage simultaneously.
A Tiger 320 Series triple display meter is installed to display:
Channel 1:
Current (I rms) on the top (primary display).
Channel 3:
Voltage (V rms) on the middle display.
Channel 4:
Power usage (kW) on the bottom display.
CH1
CH3
Channel 2:
Configured to read the line frequency at 0.01 Hz resolution (displayable in the view mode).
Because there is a 5 A rms maximum current limit on smart power module IW02, a 200:5 current transformer is used to sense the load current.
CH4
The meter is calibrated at the factory to the following default settings with a scale factor of 1 and an offset of 0:
30,000 counts for 5 A rms.
1000 counts for 100 V rms.
10,000 counts for 500 W.
To accomodate the customers specifications, the offsets remain at 0, but the scale factors must be adjusted to display (See Recalibration Procedures on Page 6):
20,000 counts for 200 A on CH1.
1,200 counts for 120 V on CH3.
24,000 counts for 24 kW on CH4.
The new scale factors are calculated as follows:
1 CH1 Scale Factor
Our 200 A load is reduced to 5 A to suit the smart input modules maximum current limit by passing it through a 200:5 current transformer (CT).
The original factory setting was 30,000 counts for the maximum load.
We now want to display 20,000 counts for the same load. Therefore, the scale factor is calulated as:
CH1 Scale Factor =
20,000
30,000
= 0.666 (I rms)
2 CH3 Scale Factor
Our original factory setting for the 100 V line voltage was 1,000 counts. Applying a new line voltage of
120 V to the original settings for CH3 displays 1,200 counts on the meter. Therefore, no adjustment is necessary and the scale factor remains unchanged at 1.0.
3 CH4 Scale Factor
Our original factory setting for the power reading on CH4 is:
5 A load & 100 V line voltage = 500 W over 10,000 counts
Our load has now increased to 200 A, which is passed through a 200:5 CT effectively retaining a 5 A load.
Our line voltage has increased to 120 V displayed over 1,200 counts. This means we now have:
5 A load (actual 200 A) & 120 V line voltage = 600 W over 12,000 counts
We wish to double the resolution of the power reading on the display to 24,000 counts for the maximum load. Therefore, the scale factor is calculated as:
CH4 Scale Factor =
24,000
12,000
= 2.0
