MAX/MIN key
Recalls the following parameters to the second display : first
push recalls peak, second push recalls valley, third push
recalls tare (or offset). If the integrator option is enabled, the
fourth push recalls total and, if not enabled but the logic
function nº30 (totalizer+batch) is programmed to one of the
user inputs a new push shows the number of batch
operations. The last push after this sequence blanks the
lower displays.
The auxiliary display indicates which variable is being read in
the second display : "HI" = peak, "Lo" = valley, "tA" = tare,
"oF" = offset, "bA" = nº of batches. The total value needs all
8 digits to be displayed.
A
ny selected parameter is permanently displayed and
continuously updated if no action is taken.
TO RESET PEAK, VALLEY, TOTAL or BATCH :
RESET key
Press MAX/MIN until desired parameter appears on the second
display. This parameter may be peak ('HI'), valley ('Lo'),
total (auxiliary digits blank or hi part of the total reading) or
number of batch operations ('bA').
When desired variable is being read on the lower displays,
hold the RESET key and press MAX/MIN . Release first MAX/MIN ,
then RESET .
A
tare or tare reset operation updates automatically the peak
and valley readings to the current display value.
ENTER key
A
momentary push of the ENTER key gives access to the

ENTER key (3s)
Gives access to the program lock-out routine. Hold ENTER
for approximately 3s, at the end of which the meter prompts
the indication '- - - -' to enter the security code.
RESET + ENTER (3s)
A
press of 3s of both RESET and ENTER restores the factory
settings to the memory of the instrument.
Press RESET first, then ENTER and hold both until the

Factory Configuration
As shipped from the factory, the CN2 connector allows the
TARE, MAX/MIN and RESET operations be made in the same
way as from the front-panel keyboard and incorporates one
more function: the display HOLD.
If the user programs a '0' (no function) to all input pins, they
are automatically set to the default configuration.
CN2 : FACTORY DEFAULT CONFIGURATION
PIN (INPUT) Function Number
PIN 1 (INP-1) RESET Function nº 7
PIN 2 (INP-2) HOLD Function nº 9
PIN 3 COMMON
PIN 4 (INP-4) TARE Function nº 1
PIN 5 (INP-5) PEAK/VALLEY Function nº 6
The external electronics (fig.66.2) applied to the CN2
connector must be capable of withstanding 40 V and 20 mA
present at all terminals with respect to COMMON. In order to
guarantee the electromagnetic compatibility, please refer to
the instructions given on page 12.
5.2 - Logic Functions
The rear connector CN2 provides 4 user programmable opto-coupled inputs that can be operated from external contacts or
logic levels supplied by an electronic system. Four different functions may be added to the functions available from the front-
panel keys. Each function is associated to one of the CN2 connector pins (PIN 1, PIN 2, PIN 4 and PIN 5) and is activated by
applying a falling edge or a low level pulse to the corresponding pin with respect to common (PIN 3).
Each pin can be assigned one of the 36 functions listed on the following pages.

The instrument is supplied with all software programming
parameters accessible to operator's modifications. Afte
r
completing the software configuration, it is recommended to
take the following steps:
1. Lockout programming parameters to prevent from
accidental or unauthorized modifications.
2. Lockout the tare key operation.
3.
T
he lockout can be applied to everything or to specific
menus or parameters. If some parameters should be
reprogrammed frequently, make a partial lock leaving
such parameters accessible. If no subsequent adjus
t
must be made, make a total lock.
4.
T
he access to the lockout routine is allowed by entering
a safety code. At fabrication this code is set to 0000. We
recommend to change this code and to write it down and
keep safe.
5. Prior to configure the meter, it is recommended to
organize all data and keep a record s manual.
6. PARAMETER LOCKOUTS
TOTAL LOCKOUT
T
he access to the programming routines to read data is
allowed even if all parameters are locked out, but it won’t
be possible to enter or modify data. In this case, when
entering in the programming mode, the second display shows
the indication -dAtA- instead of -Pro-.
SELECTIVE LOCKOUT
When only some parameters are locked out, all configuration
data can be read but only non-protected parameters can
be modified. In such case, when entering in the
programming mode, the second display shows the indication
-Pro-.
Selective lock-outs include the following groups:
•Setpoint 1 configuration (menu 31).
•Setpoint 2 configuration (menu 32).
•Setpoint 3 configuration (menu 33).
•Setpoint 4 configuration (menu 34).
•Input configuration (module 10).
•Scaling (menus 21/22, 23 and 27).
•Display options and filtering (menus 24, 25 and 26).
•Analog output configuration (module 40).
•Serial output configuration (module 50).
•Logic inputs configuration (module 60).
•Direct access to the programming of the setpoint values

TOTAL LOCKOUT
T
he access to the programming routines to read data is
allowed even if all parameters are locked out, but it won’t
be possible to enter or modify data. In this case, when
entering in the programming mode, the second display shows
the indication -dAtA- instead of -Pro-.
SELECTIVE LOCKOUT
When only some parameters are locked out, all configuration
data can be read but only non-protected parameters can
be modified. In such case, when entering in the
programming mode, the second display shows the indication
-Pro-.
Selective lock-outs include the following groups:
•Setpoint 1 configuration (menu 31).
•Setpoint 2 configuration (menu 32).
•Setpoint 3 configuration (menu 33).
•Setpoint 4 configuration (menu 34).
•Input configuration (module 10).
•Scaling (menus 21/22, 23 and 27).
•Display options and filtering (menus 24, 25 and 26).
•Analog output configuration (module 40).
•Serial output configuration (module 50).
•Logic inputs configuration (module 60).
•Direct access to the programming of the setpoint values
Those that refer to optional outputs only appear if the
corresponding option is installed.

6.1 - Lockout programming routine
The lock-out programming routine is entered by depressing
the ENTER key for 3 seconds and introducing a security code.
T
his gives access to either the parameter list or to change the
code if desired.
If the user opts for changing the code, the unit asks for the
new one and returns to the normal operation. The old code is
replaced with the user selected one, that will be asked next
time this routine is entered.
When the user enters the parameter list, each parameter is
indicated in the second display, while in the first one a
blinking digit allows setting a ‘1’ to lock this item, or a ‘0’ to
free it.
There are two ways to lock-out the program; One is to lock
everything, which is accomplished by setting a ‘1’ in the ‘tot-
LC’ parameter (the remaining parameters are skipped except
the tare key lock).
The second is to individually lock some parts of the program
menus leaving free those parts which are more liable to have
changes during normal operation.

T
he options are supplied with a specific instructions manual
describing characteristics, installation, connections and
programming. The output cards are easily installed on the
meter's main board by means of plug-in connectors and each
one activates its own programming module that provides
complete software-configuration.
A

The figure shows the main circuit board locations of the
available output options. Each plug-in location can
accept only one card from a particular function type.
The options 2RE, 4RE, 4OP and 4OPP are for setpoint
control and only one of them can be installed in the M5
location.
The options RS2 and RS4 are for communication and
only one of them can be installed in the M1 location.
The ANA option provides selectable 0-10V and 20mA
analog output and is installed in the M4 location.
Up to three output options can be present at a time and
operate simultaneously:
- ANALOGUE, 0-10V or 4-20mA
- RS232C or RS485 (one of them),
- 2 RELAYS, 4 RELAYS or 4 NPN or 4 PNP outputs
(one of them).
T
he BCD output is exclusive and it does not allow any of
the others. This option is attached to the main circuit
board by means of a 18-pin FLAT cable.
