NOTES:
1. The instrument may be powered from the AC line or 24 VDC. Do not wire AC
line terminals 4-5 and 24 VDC terminals 14-15 at the same time or damage to
the unit will result.
2. For supply connections, wire in accordance with an equivalent national standard
or code. Use copper conductors only rated for at least 75°C.
3. Terminals 11-15, 18 and 20 are rated CLASS 2.
4. ISOLATION:
Relays - 1500 VAC to all other inputs and outputs.
AC Line Power (terminals 4-5) - 1500 VAC to all other inputs and outputs.
RS485 output - 500 VAC to all other CLASS 2 wiring.
The 24 VDC Power, 4-20 mA transmitter, and Remote Reset Switch share
a common ground.
5. The Remote Reset Switch must be a dry contact switch.
6. Shielded cable is required for RS485 wiring.
WIRING
WARNING
If Digihelic®is powered by 24 VDC, the device receiving the 4-20 mA transmitter
output MUST NOT share a common ground with the 24 VDC supply or damage
to the Digihelic®will result.

It is not necessary to remove the control chassis from the housing for
installation. If the control chassis is removed from the housing, you
must follow industry standard practice for control and protection
against Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). Failure to exercise good ESD
practices may cause damage to the control.
Wiring to housing terminals while chassis is removed may cause dis-
tortion of the internal connector and possible damage to the connec-
tor when the chassis is reinstalled. It is strongly recommended that
the control housing be wired with the chassis installed.
INSTALLATION
Mount the instrument in a location that will not be subject to excessive temperature,
shock or vibration. All models are designed for mounting in an enclosed panel.
Select the position desired for the instrument on the panel. Prepare the panel by cut-
ting and deburring the required opening.
From the front of the panel, slide the instrument through the cut out. The housing
gasket should be against the housing flange before installing.
From the rear of the panel slide the mounting collar over the housing. Hold the hous-
ing with one hand and using the other hand, push the collar evenly against the panel
until the springs are compressed. The ratchets will hold the mounting collar and
housing in place.

SET POINT ADJUSTMENT
Adjusting the Digihelic®Controller Set Points is quick and simple. Instead of setting
a set point and deadband, simply adjust
SP1H or SP2H for the desired relay turn
on point, and then adjust
SP1L or SP2L for the desired relay turn off point.

(in. w.c.)
In the above graph, an instrument with a 1.0˝ range would have the SP1 relay turn
on at 0.8˝ and off at 0.4˝.
SP1H sets the relay turn on point, and SP1L sets the relay
turn off point. The relays outputs normally function in the direct acting mode, which
means the relays turn on with an increase in pressure. SP1 may be configured to act
as a reverse acting relay (refer to the 1SP SUB MENU setting, page 15). When set
for reverse acting,
SP1H sets the relay turn OFF point, and SP1L sets the relay turn
ON point. SP2 is always direct acting.

ArEA , DIA , XDIM and YDIM SUB MENUS
These SUB MENUS become accessible if the instrument is set for flow. When meas-
uring flow, the area of the duct must be specified. Tables 3 and 4 show the input
range vs maximum flow and duct size. For a rectangular duct the maximum size is
specified in square feet or meters. For a circular duct the maximum size is specified
as the diameter. X, Y and circular dimensions are entered in feet with 0.01 foot res-
olution for
FLOr = LO and 0.1 foot resolution for FLOr = HI , or entered in millimeters
with 1 millimeter resolution.
ArEA - Area, select CIR for a circular duct or RECT for a rectangular
duct. If a circular duct is selected, the
DIA SUB MENU will be activated. If a
rectangular duct is selected, the
XDIM and YDIM SUB MENUS will be acti-
vated.
DIA - Diameter, enter the diameter of a duct
XDIM - Enter the “X” dimension of a duct
YDIM - Enter the “Y” dimension of a duct
OUt (Output) MAIN MENU
The OUt MENU selects the output type of the instrument. The SUB
MENUS are:
CtrL - Control type ALrE - Alarm reset, manual or auto
ISP - SP1 reverse or direct acting AL.H - Alarm inhibit
AL - Alarm type ALDL - Alarm delay

The following alarm function SUB MENUS are activated when CtrL is set to
SPAL :
AL (Alarm Type) SUB MENU
HI - High alarm
LO - Low alarm
HILO - For a high/low guardband type alarm
ALARM ADJUSTMENT
Alarm settings are dependent upon the selected alarm mode. The Digihelic®
Controller alarm may be configured as a High Alarm, Low Alarm, or High/Low Alarm.
Alarm settings are all absolute and may be set to anywhere within the range of the
instrument. The dead bands of the alarms are fixed at 1% of full scale.

ALrE (Alarm Reset) SUB MENU
ONOF - Automatic reset
HOLD - Manual reset. An alarm is reset by the RESET key on the front
panel, or an external reset switch.
AL.H (Low Alarm Inhibit) SUB MENU
ON - Alarm inhibit is on
OFF - Alarm inhibit is off
If
AL.H is selected ON, a low alarm condition is suspended upon power
up until the process value passes through the alarm set point once.
ALDL (Alarm Delay) SUB MENU
Sets the amount of time an alarm condition must be continuously met before
the alarm condition is recognized. The alarm delay is adjustable from 0-3600
seconds.
d.S (Display) MAIN MENU
PEAK - Peak value rESO - Resolution
VALy - Valley value Pd.S - Process display
ZERO - Zero DAMP - Dampening level
PEAK (Peak) SUB MENU
The Peak feature stores the highest pressure reading the instrument has
measured since the last reset or power up. At power up
PEAK is reset
to the present pressure reading. To manually reset the PEAK value,
press the RESET key while in the
PEAK SUB MENU.
VALy (Valley) SUB MENU
The valley feature stores the lowest pressure reading the instrument has
measured since the last reset or power up. At power up
VALy is reset to
the present pressure reading. To manually reset the VALy value, press the
RESET key while in the
VALy SUB MENU.

rESO (Resolution) SUB MENU
The Digihelic®Controller is capable of displaying four digits of resolution.
However, at very low pressures the instability of the pressure may cause
fluctuations in the least significant digit causing the least significant digit to be
of little value. Three digit resolution (
3DIG ) can only be active when there is at
least one digit to the right of a decimal.
3DIG - Set display for 3 digit resolution
4DIG - Set display for 4 digit resolution
Pd.S (Process Display) SUB MENU
STD - Display reads pressure, velocity, or flow values
PCT - Display reads % of full scale value
When the display is reading percent,
PCT is displayed in the upper right of
the display. The percent display is only available in pressure operation.
DAMP (Dampening) SUB MENU
Adjust from 1-16
Dampening stabilizes the display from instabilities due to things such as
vibration and excessive pressure fluctuations. The dampening setting adjusts
the amount of readings that are averaged for each display update. Adjust
the dampening value until the display reads a stable value for the application.
AdU (Advanced) MAIN MENU
POL - Process output low ADDR - Modbus® Protocol address
POH - Process output high WR - Modbus®Protocol write enable/disable
MSP1 - Maintenance set point 1 ZERO - Zero calibration
MSP2 - Maintenance set point 2 SPAN - Span calibration
POL and POH (Process Output Low and High) SUB MENUS
This feature is used in pressure operation only.
Process output low and high are used to scale the 4-20 mA output. Set
POL to the desired display reading for 4mA output, and set POH to the
desired display reading for 20 mA output. POH must be higher than POL .
POL may be adjusted 2% BELOW minimum scale up to POH . POH may
be adjusted from
POL to 2% ABOVE maximum scale.

MSP1 and MSP2 (Maintenance Set Point 1 & 2) SUB MENUS
Adjust for the desired maintenance set points when the unit is placed in the
maintenance mode. The deadband is fixed at 2% of full scale. To enter or
leave the maintenance mode, press and hold the for 8 seconds.
ADDR (Modbus®Protocol Address ) SUB MENU
Modbus®communication instrument address. Set from 1 to 247. This num-
ber must match the address number used by the host computer.

See page 4 for wiring diagram.
WR (Modbus®Write Protect) SUB MENU
d.S - Disables write commands from Modbus®. Protocol can only read
information from the instrument.
En - Enable write commands from Modbus® Protocol. Modbus®can read
information from and write information to the instrument.
ZERO and SPAN (Calibration of Zero and Span) SUB MENUS
The lower display reads CAL in this mode.
ZERO Calibration
NOTE: For accurate calibration, DO NOT apply any pressure when
performing this function.
With the display reading
ZERO , press the ENTER key. The upper display will
blink. Press ENTER again to complete the zeroing of the instrument or press
the
MENU key to cancel.
