Introduction
1.2
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
This device is marked with the international caution symbol. It is important to
read this manual before installing or commissioning this device as it contains
important information relating to Safety and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
This instrument is a panel mount device protected in accordance with EN 610101:2001, electrical safety requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control
and laboratory. Installation of this instrument should be done by qualified personnel. In
order to ensure safe operation, the following instructions should be followed.
This instrument has no power-on switch. An external switch or circuit-breaker shall
be included in the building installation as a disconnecting device. It shall be marked to
indicate this function, and it shall be in close proximity to the equipment within easy
reach of the operator. The switch or circuit-breaker shall not interrupt the Protective
Conductor (Earth wire), and it shall meet the relevant requirements of IEC 9471 and
IEC 947-3 (International Electrotechnical Commission). The switch shall not be
incorporated in the main supply cord.
Furthermore, to provide protection against excessive energy being drawn from the
main supply in case of a fault in the equipment, an overcurrent protection device shall
be installed.
Note
Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the top of the instrument
housing.
Always disconnect power before changing signal and power connections.
Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its case for safety reasons.
Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive atmospheres.
Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.
Unit mounting should allow for adequate ventilation to ensure instrument does not
exceed operating temperature rating.
Use electrical wires with adequate size to handle mechanical strain and power
requirements. Install without exposing bare wire outside the connector to minimize
electrical shock hazards.
EMC Considerations
Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.
Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems
persist.
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!!

About The Meter
SECTION 2. ABOUT THE METER

2.1 DESCRIPTION
The Digital Programmable Strain meter is a value packed indicator/controller. Four full
digits and broad scaling capability allow for display in virtually all engineering units.
A wide variety of DC current and voltage input ranges cover typical strain applications.
Standard features include sensor excitation and front panel or remote tare. Your meter
may be a basic indicator or it may include analog output or dual relay output. Analog or
dual relay output must be ordered at time of purchase. Analog output is fully scalable
and may be configured as a proportional controller, or to follow your display. Dual 5 amp,
form C relays control critical processes. A mechanical lockout has been included to
guard against unauthorized changes.
2.2 FEATURES

About The Meter

METER BUTTONS
SETPTS Button
In the Run Mode, this button will sequentially recall the previous setpoint settings. As
necessary, use the /NT/GRS and /TARE buttons to alter these settings, then press
the SETPTS button to store new values.
Unless you press the SETPTS, /TARE, or /NT/GRS button within 20 seconds, the
meter will scroll to setpoint 2 and then to the Run Mode.
Note
If the dual relay option is not installed or if L.3=1 is displayed on the LK.CF
menu, pressing the SETPTS button will display the meter's firmware version.
/NT/GRS Button
In the Run Mode, this button will toggle between net/gross readings or peak readings
depending upon setup.
In the Configuration Mode, press this button to change the value of the flashing digit
shown on the display and/or toggle between menu choices, such as R.1=R or R.1=N on
RD.CF menu. When configuring your setpoint values, press the /NT/GRS button to
advance the flashing digit's value from 0 to 9 by 1.
/TARE Button
In the Run Mode press the /TARE button to tare your reading (zeroing).
In the Configuration Mode, press the this button to scroll to the next digit.
About The Meter

SECTION 3. GETTING STARTED

Caution: The meter has no power-on switch, so it will be in operation as
soon you apply power.
If you power off/on the meter, or perform a hard reset (press the RESET button twice),
the meter shows RST , followed by STRN.

Configuring The Meter
SECTION 4. CONFIGURING THE METER

Note
Refer to Table 6-1 for a summary list of menu configuration.

For first-time users: Refer to the QuickStart Manual for basic operation and
set-up instructions.
4.1 SELECTING THE INPUT TYPE INPT

To select your appropriate input type signal, follow these steps:
Note
Before proceeding, set the input DIP switch settings at the back of your
meter. (Refer to Table 2-3).
1.
Press the MENU button. The meter shows INPT .
2.
Press the TARE button. The meter flashes one of the following:
100M (for 0-100 mV dc) (Default)
50M (for 50 mV dc)
10V (for 0-10 Vdc)
5V (for 5 Vdc)
0-20 (for 0-20 mA dc)
3.
Press the NT/GRS button to scroll through available choices.
4.
Press the MENU button to store your choice. The meter momentarily shows
STRD , followed by DEC.P (Decimal Point).
21

4.2 SELECTING A DECIMAL POINT POSITION DEC.P
Note
To select a decimal point display position, follow these steps:

1.
Press the MENU button until the meter shows DEC.P .
2.
Press the TARE button. The meter shows one of the following:
FFF.F
FF.FF
F.FFF
FFFF (Default)
3.
Press the NT/GRS button to scroll between available choices.
4.
Press the MENU button to store your choice. The meter momentarily shows STRD ,
followed by the next menu RD.S.O (Reading Scale and Offset). Or you can press
the RESET button to abort and go back to the DEC.P menu.
4.3 SELECTING READING SCALE AND OFFSET RD.S.0

Note
To scale the meter to show readings in engineering units. There are two methods. One
method is to scale with known inputs. Another method is to scale without known inputs:
you calculate input values based on the transducer specifications and manually enter
them through the keyboard.
22
4.3.1 Scaling with Known Loads (On-Line Calibration)

Note
For maximum resolution, find the maximum signal that will be applied to the
meter input.
For regular voltage input, refer to the main body of Table 4-1.
For millivolt or milliamp input, refer to the main body of Table 4-2.
Set the DIP switch positions as indicated at the top of either Table 4-1 or 4-2. The
numbers 1 through 8 in the top row of either table represent dip switches 1 through 8,
and the O, C or X directly below the number indicates the correct position of each switch.
O' Switch should be open or up.
C' Switch should be closed or down.
X' Switch is used to control excitation (refer to Table 2-3 to determine

correct position of these switches).
Once Dip switches have been positioned correctly, apply power. Proceed to the RD.CF
(Reading Configuration) and set R2 equal to the value in the right hand column of the
chart.

Note
24
IN1 (Input 1) is the unscaled display reading at minimum input.
IN!2 (Input 2) is the unscaled display reading at maximum input.
4.3.1 Scaling with Known Loads (On-Line Calibration) (Continued)

11.
Apply a known load equal to approximately 100% of the transducer range.
12.
Press the TARE button again. The meter shows the last stored value for Input 2.
13.
Press the TARE button once more. The meter shows the actual signal being
received.
14.
Press the MENU button to store Input 2 value. The meter shows RD!2 (Read 2).
Note
RD!2 (Read 2) is the desired display reading at input 2.
15.
Press the TARE button. The meter shows the last stored value for Read 2.
16.
17.
18.
Press the MENU button to store value as RD!2 (Read 2). The meter momentarily
shows STRD , followed by RD.CF . Meter scaling is now complete.
25

4.3.2 Scaling Without Known Loads
To scale without known inputs, calculate input values based on the transducer
specifications and manually enter them on the front-panel push buttons. The following
example assumes load cells with these specifications:
Maximum Load:
Output:
Sensor Excitation:
Output:
1.
100.0 lbs
3.1 mV/V
10 Vdc
31mV = (3.1 mV/V) x (10 V)
Determine the correct values for IN1 and IN!2 based on the load cell specifications.
In most cases, RD1 and RD!2 are equal to the minimum and maximum of the
transducer output span. The example assumes RD1 and RD!2 are equal to the
range of the load (RD1 = 0 and RD!2 = 100.0). Calculate IN1 and IN!2 using the
loadcell output span and the following equation:
IN = (Sensor Output) x (Natural Gain) x (Multiplier).

Example: IN1 = (0 mV) x (100 cts/mV) x (1.000) = 0
IN!2 = (31 mV) x (100 cts/mV) x (1.000) = 3100
RD1 = 0000
