3.2. Principle of operation
Area of application DT9002 is an intrinsically safe process indicator enable
linear process variables to be displayed in engineering units
in even the most hazardous plant areas: Zone 1, 2 or in the
safe area. Two isolated outputs are available with different
operating modes for limit signaling or for simple control
purposes.
DT9002 is housed in a DIN standard 144 x 72 mm ABS
case with IP 65 protection from the front and IP 30
protection from the back side, for installation on the control
panel.
Operating principle
The 4-20 mA current flows through a measuring resistor
and is converted by a 16 bit A/D converter into digital value.
The digital value is processed by a microcontroller. The use
r
may set up the the configuration parameters: scaling,
decimal point position, display refresh rate, signal filtering,
limit modes, limit values, etc. through the front panel
membrane keypad. The parameters stored in EEPROM. A
two level password protects the settings from unauthorised
changes.
Large 4 ½-digit, 20.5 mm height liquid crystal display make
process variables easily visible at a distance. A label
defining the appropriate engineering unit may be attached
to the right of the display.
DT9002 has two optically isolated transistor outputs for limit
signaling or for simple control purposes.
Power supply DT9002 is loop-powered from 4-20 mA signal, dropping less
than 2 V at 20 mA.

3.3. Adjustment
DT9002 can be adjusted through the 3 button front panel
keypad. All configuration parameters are stored in the
instrument EEPROM for unlimited period of time, even
when the loop current beeng switched off.
In factory setting the DT9002 displays the 4-20 mA loop
current with a resolution of three decimals.
The instrument doesn’t need any internal adjustment.
3.4. Storage and transport
This instrument should be stored and transport in places
whose climatic conditions are in accordance with Chapter
10.1. Technical specification, as described under the title:
Environmental conditions.
The packaging of DT9002 consist of enviroment-friendly,
recyclable cardboard is used to protect the instrument
against the impacts of normal stresses occurring during
transportation. The corrugated cardboard box is made from
environment-friendly, recyclable paper. The inner protective
material is polyfoam and nylon, which should be disposed of
via specialised recycling companies.

5. Connecting
5.1. Connecting into the current loop
In hazardous areas you should take note of the appropriate
regulations, conformity and type approval certificates of the
DT9002 and other instruments are connecting in the current
loop (e.g. power supply, transmitter, etc.).
The connection must be carried out by trained and
authorised personnel only!
There are two different cases for the current loop to be
connected:
•The DT9002 acts as a terminal device of the current loop.
In this case the signal comes via a pair of wires, and it does
not have to go to other devices.
The following figure shows this case:
Wiring plan, connecting
the DT9002 as a terminal
device:
(see also “Application
example”)
Be careful the polarity of
the cable.

DT9002
14 20180621-V1
Connecting the cables •The DT9002 is situated in the „middle” of the current loop.
In this case one cable comes from the signal source and
another cable goes to the processing unit. The following
figure shows this case.
Wiring plan, connecting
the instrument as an
intermediate device
(see also “Application
example”)
Be careful the polarity of
the cables.
Wiring plan, connecting
the limit outputs
(see also “Application
example”)
Be careful the polarity of
the cables.

DT9002
20180621-V1 15
Select connection cable Take note the suitability of the connecting cable.
We recommend the use of screened twisted pair cable. The
wire cross-section should be 0.25-1.5 mm2.
Select connection cable
for Ex applications
Take note of the corresponding installation regulations for
Ex applications. In particular, make sure that no potential
equalisation currents flow over the cabre screen. In case of
grounding on both sides (for suppress very high level, high
frequency interference signals) this can be achived by use
of a blocking capacitor (e.g. ceramic capacitor 1 nF,
1500 V) or separate potential equalisation.
The low frequency potential equalisation currents are thus
supressed, but the protective effect against high frequency
interference signals remains.
Preparing cables
Prepare the cable for the connection.
Remove approx. 20 mm of cable mantle, strip approx.
8 mm insulation.

DT9002
16 20180621-V1
Make sure before connection that the current loop is
switched off.
The push-in direct connector assemblies used allow a fast
connection of the cables.
Their proper usage is shown by the following figure:
Connecting the cables
into the terminal
assemblies
1. Push the stripped cable-end until it possible into the
terminal assembly. In the case of flexible cable-ends, you
can facilitate opening the connection part by pushing down
the white button.
2. By pushing the wire in, the self-closing connection is
being established. Check it by pulling it outwards slightly.
(3. When you disassemble the cable, push down the white
button by a screwdriver, and pull the cable-end out.)
There is no need to use great force for pushing the cable in,
neither for removal. The button can be pushed down easily.
Please do not exercise forces higher than necessary, as it
may cause damages to the terminal assembly.

DT9002
20180621-V1 17
Finishing step Check if the cables are connected properly (have you
connected all the cables; have you connected them to the
right place; is the connection stable; do not the cable-ends
touch each other).
Checking the
connections
After you have completed the connections, put the current
loop under voltage, in such a way that the nominal 4-20 mA
current should flow in the loop. If the connection is correct,
numbers or a characters has to appear on the display.
If nothing appears on the display, most probably there is no
current flowing in the loop. Check if the current is present by
using an ampermeter.
In Ex area use Ex proof measuring instrument.
If the current value is in the 4-20 mA range, check if
everything has been done in accordance with Chapter 5.1
Connecting into the current loop.
You may check the voltage at the pins 5and 6of the
terminal assembly, the voltage should be a value between
1.5 and 2.2 V, while pin 6is the positive one, if the
connection is correct. In the case of reverse polarity, the
voltage value is less than 1 V, and 5is the positive pin.
With this step you have completed the connection of
DT9002.

After the instrument has been installed and connected into
the current loop, first you see on the display the type of
instrument: , , than the current in mA, with a
resolution of 3 decimals.
In the case of an error
message
If anything else appears on the display instead of the
numbers showing the current value (e.g. a message with
blinking letters), then it is an error message of the
instrument.
In order to define the error more accurately, please go to
Chapter 10.3. Error messages or 10.4. Messages of
critical errors, found at the end of this Manual, in the
Appendix.

6.2. Characters and mnemonics appearing on the
display
DT9002 has a 7-segment type display. It means that
maximum 7 bars are used to form each characters. The
numbers can be read easily, some of the letters, marks
however, looks unusual:
= A, = B, = C, = D, = E, = F, = G,
= H,= I, = J, = K, = L, = M, = N,
= O, = P, = Q, = R, = S, = T, = U,
= V, = W, = X, = Y, = Z
All mnemonics (code words) presented on the display
comes from English expressions in abbreviated form.
The following part gives a list of the possible mnemonics
and their meaning. The left-side column shows the
characters appearing on the display. The right-side column
gives first the meaning, then the full English word in
brackets and, after the hyphen, and explanation may be
given.
