local safety and EMC regulations.
- The unit must be properly set-up, according to the application. Incorrect
configuration can cause defective operation, which can lead to unit
damage or an accident.
- If in the case of a defect of unit operation there is a risk of a serious
threat to the safety of people or property additional, independent
systems and solutions to prevent such a threat must be used.
- The unit uses dangerous voltage that can cause a lethal accident. The
unit must be switched off and disconnected from the power supply
prior to starting installation of troubleshooting (in the case of
malfunction).
- Neighbouring and mating equipment must meet the requirements of
appropriate standards and regulations concerning safety and be equipped
with adequate anti-overvoltage and anti-interference filters.

2 General characteristics
The PD96 meter is equipped with one current input 0-20 / 4-20mA and one voltage input
0-5 / 1-5 / 0-10 / 2-10V. Current input has additionally overcurrent protection circuit,
which protects standard resistor. The selection of active input is realised by software,
and selected input can be changed at any time. Additionally the PD96 allows user to
select a conversion characteristic of several kinds: linear, square, square root, and user
defined (max.20 points length). Result is showed on 4- digit LED display. Displayed
values range can be selected by user, from -999 to 9999, plus decimal point.
The device can be equipped with two relay (or OC type) outputs. Device PD96is
equipped with PD96 communication interface and sensor supply output. The meter can
be ordered in three power supply versions.
The device has 4 buttons being used for main presets programming. To get high
protection level, the keyboard is mounted under transparent cover. To allow user to
changepresets without opening the cover, an IR sensor is mounted. Remote controller
keyboard isequivalent to the device keyboard (Note, that remote controller is not a part
of the PD96 set –it is an additional equipment).
PD96 can be used for controlling and regulation of processes need proportional and
threshold control like: temperature processes (heating or cooling), valves controlling or
other.
- Do not use the unit in areas threatened with excessive shocks,
vibrations, dust, humidity, corrosive gasses and oils.
- Do not use the unit in explosion hazard areas.
Do not use the unit in areas with significant temperature variations,
exposed to condensation or icing.
- Do not use the unit in areas exposed to direct sunlight.
- Make sure that the ambient temperature (e.g. inside the control box) does
not exceed the recommended values. In such cases forced cooling of the
unit must be considered (e.g. by using a ventilator).
The unit is designed for operation in an industrial environment and
must not be used in a household environment or similar.

4. Device installation
The unit has been designed and manufactured in a way assuring a high level of user
safety and resistance to interference occurring in a typical industrial environment. In
order to take full advantage of these characteristics installation of the unit must be
conducted correctly and according to the local regulations.
4.1. Unpacking
After removing the unit from the protective packaging, check for transportation damage.
Any transportation damage must be immediately reported to the carrier. Also, write down
the unit serial number on the housing and report the damage to the manufacturer.
Attached with the unit please find:
- user’s manual,
- warranty,
Read the basic safety requirements on page 3 prior to starting the
installation.
- Ensure that the power supply network voltage corresponds to the
nominal voltage stated on the unit’s identification label.
- The load must correspond to the requirements listed in the technical
data.
- All installation works must be conducted with a disconnected power
supply.
- Protecting the power supply clamps against unauthorized persons must
be taken into consideration.

4.2. Assembly
Figure 4.1. Device and assembly dimensions
- Disconnect the power supply prior to starting assembly.
- Check the correctness of the performed connections prior to switching
the unit on.
To install device on the wall, a pinholes should be made. Figure 4.1
presents
dimensions of the device and distances between holes. The back side of
the device has four mounting holes. This part of the case should bemounted
to a wall by screws.

4.3. Connection method
Caution
- Installation should be conducted by qualified personnel . During
installation all available safety requirements should be considered. The fitter
is responsible for executing the installation according to this manual, local
safety and EMC regulations.
- The unit is not equipped with an internal fuse or power supply circuit
breaker. Because of this an external time-delay cut-out fuse with minimal
possible nominal current value must be used (recommended bipolar, max.
2A) and a power supply circuit-breaker located near the unit. In the case
of using a monopolar fuse it must be mounted on the phase cable (L).
- The power supply network cable diameter must be selected in such a way
that in the case of a short circuit of the cable from the side of the unit the
cable shall be protected against destruction with an electrical installation
fuse.
- Wiring must meet appropriate standards and local regulations and laws.
- In order to secure against accidental short circuit the connection cables
must be terminated with appropriate insulated cable tips.
- Tighten the clamping screws. The recommended tightening torque is 0.5
Nm. Loose screws can cause fire or defective operation. Over tightening
can lead to damaging the connections inside the units and breaking the
thread.
- In the case of the unit being fitted with separable clamps they should be
inserted into appropriate connectors in the unit, even if they are not used
for any connections.
- Unused clamps (marked as n.c.) must not be used for connectingany
connecting cables (e.g. as bridges), because this can cause damage
to the equipment or electric shock.
- If the unit is equipped with housing, covers and sealing packing, protecting
against water intrusion, pay special attention to their correct tightening or
clamping. In the case of any doubt consider using additional preventive
measures (covers, roofing, seals, etc.). Carelessly executed assembly can
increase the risk of electric shock.
- After the installation is completed do not touch the unit’s connections when
it is switched on, because it carries the risk of electrical shock.
