MANUAL V. SB.3
THE 3000PLUS PANEL METER
Incorporating Daytronic’s 5D Series Signal Condition-
er Modules, the 3000PLUS Panel Meter is a field-scal-
able indicator featuring operator-programmable signal
processing and PC/PLC communications. With a
durable front panel and secure screw terminals for all
power and I/O connections, this mechanically and elec-
trically rugged instrument is ideal for pump, motor,
hydraulic, and other high-noise monitoring applications.
Accepting the fully conditioned output of any standard
plug-in 5D module*, the 3000PLUS maintains signal
integrity to deliver accurately scaled analog output,
while sampling all data at 16-bit resolution. The data dis-
play provides selectable digital filtering for even greater
readout stability.
The operator can easily select any of three separate
output channels for display, as explained in Section 1.D:
•the meter’s standard ±5-VDC scaled output
(Channel 1), representing measured engineering
units (after calibration)
•the “auxiliary” DACoutput (Channel 2), which
serves to monitor and process Channel 1, and to
generate Channel 3
•the “scaled voltage” output (Channel 3), which is
continuously proportional to the reading of the auxil-
iary output (Channel 2). Channel 3 may be set to a
full scale of either ±5 or ±10 VDC, and is available
from the rear of the 3000PLUS as both voltage and
4-20 mA output (see Section 2.D).**
The auxiliary analog output (Channel 2) is used for
•HI/OK/LO limit monitoring with selectable hystere-
sis windows, front-panel annunciation, and relay out-
puts for local process control (see Section 5.E for
full details)
•high-speed positive or negative peak capture with
TTL-level “have peak” output, selectable “backout”
and “peak defeat” thresholds, and user-adjustable
leak rate (Section 5.B)
•a signal hold to allow captured peaks and other
values to be transferred to computer for processing
(Section 5.C)
•automatic application of a desired tare offset (Sec-
tion 5.D)
Separate logic inputs provide external control of peak
capture, signal hold, tare application, and the release of
latched limit violations.
As explained in Sections 3 and 4 of this manual, you
can quickly set up the 3000PLUS either via the simple
front-panel button menu or via the configuration soft-
ware supplied with the unit. Operator-entered ranges,
filters, calibration points, and other setup parameters
are always specific to the installed 5D Series condition-
er.
A standard RS232 interface operating at a fixed rate of
19.2K baud allows connection of an external PC for
instrument configuration and on-line monitoring. It may
also be used for direct communication of simple ASCII
mnemonic commands both for run-time reconfiguration
and for interrogation of current data and setup values.
Employing the run-time version of Microsoft®Access
2000, the 3KP CONFIGURATOR software supplied
with the Model 3000PLUS makes short work of meter
setup. Communicating via the RS232 link, the Configu-
rator lets you define, store, edit, download, upload, and
manage any number of “configurations” for your
3000PLUS. As explained in Section 4, “off-line” configu-
rations can be easily created and downloaded, or you
can use the “Live Output Window” to view and modify
the present configuration of the connected 3000PLUS
instrument on a purely run-time basis.
The Configurator also lets you perform selected run-
time operations, including
•both “absolute” and two-point (deadweight) calibra-
tion
•viewing any of the meter’s three “live” analog out-
puts and adjusting it as desired
•applying a signal hold command
•releasing any and all latched limits
•sending standard mnemonic commands to the
meter
THE MODEL 5D40
FREQUENCY CONDITIONER MODULE
Delivering a high-level filtered analog output of ±5 VDC,
the Model 5D40 is a wide-range general-purpose
instrument for conditioning the signal received from a
Magnetic pickup-type sensor, TTL sensor devces,
frequency generators, photocell, or other external fre-
quency sources. The input may be either differential
(floating) or grounded (single-ended).
The Model 5D40’s differential inputs and generous
common-mode range eliminate ground-coupling errors
normally associated with off-ground signal sources. A
1. INTRODUCTION
1.AGENERAL DESCRIPTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
* “V” and “S” models may not be used with the 3000PLUS.
** The ±5-VDC output of the installed 5D40 conditioner (prior to
A/D conversion) is also available from the rear of the meter.

MANUAL V. SB.3
stable, excitation of ±5 VDC ± 2.0% @ 70 ma is
provided for external powered sensor, TTL-type sen-
sors, and other transducers that may require it. With an
externally powered transducer, input isolation yields an
operating common-mode range of up to 1500 V (when
using the regulated excitation provided by the 5D40
module, see Table 1, below). Exceptional signal stabili-
ty and accuracy over a remarkably wide range of sen-
sor inputs are achieved through
•regulated excitation
• chopper-stabilized low-drift amplification
• configurable low-pass active filtering
• “absolute” software-based calibration
• effective signal isolation & ESD protection
Plugging into the rear of the 3000PLUS meter, the 5D40
connects directly to its source frequency sensor via
simple screw-terminal pinout (see Fig. 3). High output
accuracy over a wide temperature range guarantees
repeatable sensor signal integrity. For steady indication
and smooth, dependable control action, the conditioner
provides a true average value of the measured variable,
even in the face of substantial dynamic content.
The 5D40 features
• Powerful user-selectable low-pass active filter-
ing for removal of unwanted high-frequency mea-
surement-signal components and the elimination of
aliasing errors
•High input impedance on all ranges to eliminate
cable resistance as a source of error (allowable
cable length has virtually no practical limits)
• High noise rejection, eliminating errors from com-
mon-mode pickup and ground-loop coupling, with
1. INTRODUCTION
1500 VAC isolation between input and output termi-
nals and between I/O and power supply / communi-
cations terminals
• High ESD immunity and extensive EMI protec-
tion further assure data integrity in harsh industrial
environments
Internal “ABSOLUTE” CALIBRATION ensures high accu-
racies, without elaborate trial and error procedures.
Thus, to calibrate the 3000PLUS meter’s installed 5D40
module, you need only use the front-panel menu or
configuration software to specify the desired relation-
ship between the measured engineering units and the
±5-VDC output, given the full-scale frequency range for
which it is currently set. If the received input is to repre-
sent a value of some parameter other than frequency
itself, you will also have to enter frequency source value
and range information (as explained in Sections 3.B and
4.E). A zero offset term may also be entered,
expressed either in engineering units or millivolts.
Conventional TWO-POINT (DEADWEIGHT) CALIBRA-
TION may be applied, if desired, to improve on the
“absolute” calculations, when there are at least two
independently and accurately known calibration points
(“ZERO” and “SPAN”).
Guaranteed “absolute” calibration accuracies for a
properly configured 5D40’s input ranges are given in
Table 1, below. By virtue of the unusually high stability
of the 5D40 instrument, even higher accuracies can be
achieved with additional high-precision two-point cali-
bration.

3KP40 - 1.7
3000PLUS WITH 5D40 INSTRUCTION
MANUAL V. SB.3
1. INTRODUCTION
• Channel 2—the “auxiliary” DAC output, which con-
tinuously operates on Channel 1 for purposes of
limit evaluation, peak capture, tare offset, etc. It is
produced for display, interrogation via the CHN
command, and generation of the “raw volts” analog
output (Channel 3).
• Channel 3—the instrument’s “scaled voltage” out-
put, which is continuously proportional to Channel 2.
It may be set to a full scale of either ±5 or ±10 VDC,
and is available at the rear of the 3000PLUS as both
DC voltage and 4-20 mA output (see Section 2.D)
As explained in the following section, the front-panel
SCROLL button may be used during normal run-time
operation to cycle through the three channel displays.4
When Channel 2 or 3 is being displayed, the corre-
sponding front-panel indicator LED (C2 or C3) will
light—see Fig. 2. No indicator lights when Channel 1 is
displayed.
The channel that is displayed whenever the 3000PLUS
is powered up is always the channel that was on dis-
play when the meter was last turned off.
COMMUNICATIONS INDICATION
Fig. 2 also shows the 3000PLUS instrument’s front-
panel CM LED. This indicator lights when the RS232
serial communications port (Section 2.B) is in receipt of
one or more transmitted ASCII characters (which may
or may not constitute a valid MNEMONIC COMMAND—
see Appendix A).
LIMIT STATUS INDICATION
Whenever continuous limit monitoring of the “auxiliary”
output (Channel 2) is enabled, the appropriate front-
panel limit status indicator (Fig. 2) will show the LIMIT
ZONE in which Channel 2’s existing data reading lies
(regardless of whether Channel 2 is the one currently
DATA DISPLAY
Updated four times a second, the 3000PLUS instru-
ment’s six-digit data LED data display is automatically
scaled to count by a resolution of 1, 2, or 5 to a maxi-
mum reading of ±199990.1Regardless of the scaling
currently in effect, a flashing display during normal run-
time operation indicates that an overrange condition
has occurred. In this case, the displayed measurement
reading may be invalid.
During normal instrument setup, the operator will be
called upon to indicate the DESIRED FULL-SCALE
READING IN ENGINEERING UNITS (the “FULL SCALE
UNITS” or “FSU” value), to correspond to a full-scale
output of 5.000 volts. This can be done via the front-
panel setup procedure (as explained in Section 3.B) or
via the Configurator software, on a setup or run-time
basis (as explained in Section 4). The DECIMAL-
POINT RESOLUTION of the data display for Channels
1 and 2 will always match that of the last-entered FSU
value.2
You can also specify a DISPLAY OFFSET value
(“DSO”), if desired—again, either through the front panel
or the Configurator software. The DSO is a value of
numeric offset (positive or negative) to be continuously
applied to the displayed reading of Channel 1 or 2 (see
below). Note that the DSO is applied in addition to any
zero offset resulting from instrument calibration (Sec-
tions 3 and 4) and to any specified tare offset (Section
5.D).3
In addition to the normal-mode analog filtering fur-
nished by the installed 5D40 Conditioner, the 3000PLUS
can apply selectable DIGITAL FILTERING (“DFL”) to the
data display to allow smooth, stable readout of dynamic
variables. The DFL number ranges from 0 through 9 to
indicate increasing amounts of digital smoothing. Like
the FSU and DSO values, it may be entered through
either the front panel or the Configurator software.
Use of the data display for manual setup of the
3000PLUS instrument is described in detail in Section 3
(“Front-Panel Configuration and Calibration”).
CHANNEL INDICATION
At any time, you can select any one of the 3000PLUS
instrument’s three separate output channels for display:
• Channel 1—the meter’s basic ±5-VDC scaled out-
put, representing measured engineering units (after
calibration). It is produced solely for display and
interrogation via the CHANNEL (CHN) command
(described in Appendix A).
1.DDATA AND STATUS DISPLAYS
1Under a reading of about 32000, the display’s least significant
digit will change by 1; from 32000 to 64000, it will change by 2;
and over 64000, by 5.
2That is, the precision (decimal-point location) both of the basic
±5-volt scaled output (Channel No. 1) and of the “auxiliary” DAC
output (Channel No. 2) will always reflect that of the currently
stored FSU number—as will that of other setup values that
directly relate to the 3000PLUS’s scaled engineering-units read-
ing, including display offset, high/low limit and hysteresis val-
ues, “peak defeat” threshold, tared output value, and all
calibration numbers (both “absolute” and “two-point”) that are
expressed in units.
3Since the display offset is automatically set to zero during
instrument calibration (either “absolute” or “two-point”), you
should set a nonzero DSO value only after calibration has been
performed (Sections 3 and 4).
4The Configurator software’s “Live Output Window” (described
in Section 4.D), lets you view any selected channel and modify
applicable output characteristics on a run-time basis.

being displayed). The three limit zones are defined by
the 3000PLUS instrument’s current HIGH LIMIT (“HIL”)
and LOW LIMIT (“LOL”) settings:
•HI(or “GREATER THAN”)—Channel 2’s reading is
greater than the current high limit value
•OK(or “BETWEEN”)—Channel 2’s reading is greater
than or equal to the current low limit value and less
than or equal to the current high limit value
•LO(or “LESS THAN”)—Channel 2’s reading is less
than the current low limit value
When limit monitoring is disabled, none of the limit indi-
cators will light.
For a complete discussion of limit monitoring, including
definition of limit setpoints, limits LATCH MODE (“LAT”),
relay contact POLARITY (“POL”), and both high-limit
and low-limit HYSTERESIS deadbands (“LHY” and
“HHY”), see Section 5.E.
RUN-TIME LIMITS DISPLAY
When the 3000PLUS instrument’s LIMITS SECURITY
(LMS) is OFF, the local operator is able to use the front-
panel buttons (as explained in Sections 1.E and 5.E) to
quickly view and adjust the operating limit values during
normal run-time operation, without having to enter
Setup Mode. This is the case even when limit monitor-
ing is currently disabled (Section 5.E).
When limits security is ON, the operator can view and
modify the limits values for monitoring the “auxiliary”
DAC output only by following the standard front-panel
setup procedure given in Section 3, which may require
entry of a security code.
SETUP STAGE INDICATION
Each of the seven front-panel setup indicators shown in
Fig. 2 will light when the 3000PLUS enters the corre-
sponding stage of the FRONT-PANEL SETUP PROCE-
DURE, as listed below and described in detail in
Section 3. Except for ST (“SETUP”), each indicator will
remain on only as long as the meter is in that setup
stage; ST will remain on until the operator exits setup
mode.
1. ST (“SETUP”)—security and module identification
2. RG (“RANGE”)—input range and scaling information,
including (for the 5D40 module) full-scale VDC
range, desired full-scale reading in units, and
desired decimal-point resolution
3. FL (“FILTER”)—analog and digital filter settings
4. CL (“CALIBRATION”)—including desired calibration
method and all cal-point values applicable to that
method
5. LM (“LIMIT”)—parameters relating to the limit moni-
toring of the “auxiliary” output (Channel 2), including
limit enable, latch mode, relay polarity, setpoint val-
ues, and hysteresis windows*
6. PK (“PEAK”)—parameters relating to the further pro-
cessing of the “auxiliary” output (Channel 2), includ-
ing peak mode, “defeat” threshold, “backout”
threshold, decay rate, and tare offset
7. AN (“ANALOG OUTPUT”)—full-scale voltage output,
followed by entry a new security code, if desired
MODULE STATUS INDICATION
Shown in Fig. 3, the status indicator light of the installed
5D40 Conditioner module serves to monitor the mod-
ule’s power, input, communications, and general health
condition. The condition(s) represented by the light’s
three possible colors and color combinations are given
below.
NOTE: As long as the module is properly communicat-
ing with the 3000PLUS meter (and the meter is pow-
ered up), the indicator light will be flashing.
•if the flashing light is constantly GREEN, the mod-
ule’s input signal is OK
•if the flashing light is constantly YELLOW, the mod-
ule’s input signal is over 20% out of range
•if the flashing light is constantly RED, a serious input
condition has been detected (e.g., excessive cur-
rent, overvoltage); it could indicate a transducer
short or faulty cabling
•if the flashing light is alternating YELLOW AND
GREEN, the module has received a mnemonic
command from the 3000PLUS meter (the yellow
light will continue for about a second after receipt of
the command-terminating carriage return)
•if the flashing light is alternating RED AND GREEN,
a significant internal software error detected; contact
the Daytronic Service Department

PLEASE NOTE: Some of the wiring diagrams in this section show only the male connector head-
ers on the rear of the 3000PLUS instrument (also shown in Fig. 3). Each connected wire or jumper
is to be firmly secured to the corresponding SCREW TERMINAL of the terminal block (supplied
with the meter) that plugs into the appropriate header.
CABLE SHIELDING
Proper shielding of cable wires or twisted pairs—as shown in Figs. 7 through 10—is strongly rec-
ommended to minimize the production of unwanted electrical noise from capacitive and inductive
effects.
In the I/O cabling diagrams below, only the “connector end” of each cable shield is shown, as rep-
resented by a gray circle surrounding either a single wire or a TWISTED PAIR of wires within the
cable. Unless otherwise stated, every shield should be grounded to the appropriate common or
ground terminal only at the connector end. The drain wire tying the connector end of the shield to
common/ground should be as short as possible.
* An optional 18-W in-line power supply for the 3000PLUS(the
Model 3KPS1) is available from Daytronic. Contact the factory
for more information.

tor software will automatically set to this protocol the
computer COM PORT selected for communications
with the 3000PLUS (see “Setup and Testing of Serial
Communications” in the Configurator’s on-line HELP
system).
Separate shielding of the RECEIVE and TRANSMIT lines
is highly recommended, especially if the cable connect-
ing the PC and the 3000PLUS is over three feet in
length. This will prevent electrical noise from causing
“break” signals and other communications errors.
As shown in Fig. 7, simple two-wire RS232 cabling is
employed for communications between the 3000PLUS
and an external PC. While 3000PLUS / PC serial com-
munications will usually take place through the 3KP
Configurator software described in Section 4, a “termi-
nal emulation” program (either conventional or cus-
tomized) can also be used to issue standard mnemonic
commands to the meter, and to receive meter respons-
es.
The RS232 interface observes a fixed protocol of
19,200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and NO parity—with
no software or hardware “handshake.” The Configura-

(Fig. 8.d). When the TTL SIG-
NAL is directly connected to the sensor, the +SIGNAL
and –SIGNAL inputs must be tied to EXCITATION COM-
MON (Terminal 10) and –EXCITATION (Terminal 6),
respectively.
ALSO NOTE: The general TTL connections shown in
Fig. 8.c should always be used when the input frequen-
cy is greater than 200 KHz or less than 2 Hz.
An additional wire is shown in Fig. 8.d connecting the
zero-velocity sensor’s –EXCITATION pin and the

wire is recommended when the cable resistance is
greater than 20 ohms. When used, the additional wire

shielded twisted pair, as shown. The +SIGNAL and
main –EXCITATION lines should always be paired and
shielded.

As shown in Figs. 8.a and 8.b, below, the Model
5D40(V)’s differential inputs (+SIGNAL and –SIGNAL)
are normally used when connecting the module to a
magnetic pickup for conventional tachometric applica-
tions. When the ±SIGNAL lines are used for direct sen-
sor connections, note that
•The TTL SIGNAL input (Terminal 7) must be tied to
–EXCITATION (Terminal 6).
•It is strongly recommended that the –SIGNAL line
be tied to the module’s 0.1 µF COUPLING terminal
(as shown in Figs. 8.a and 8.b). This serves to sup-
press unwanted signal noise, especially at the low-
frequency input range.*
Fig. 8.a gives the wiring for a pickup connection via
shielded twisted-pair cable, while Fig. 8.b gives the
wiring for a pickup connection via coaxial cable. With
coaxial cabling, the shield connection is not required,
and the –SIGNAL line should be tied to EXCITATION
COMMON (Terminal 10), which then connects directly
to the sensor (as shown).
The Model 5D40(V)’s TTL input should be used when
connecting the module to any generic TTL device (Fig.
