E15.0.01.6C-05 GIA0420 / GIA0420 SP Connection and operating manual page: 4
Configuration
Please note: measuring current should be at least 4 mA during configuration!
1. Press button 1, "dP" (decimal point) will be displayed.
Select decimal point position desired using buttons 2 and 3.
Acknowledge decimal point position by pressing button 1. "dP" will be displayed again.
2. Press button 1 once again, "An 4" (display for 4mA) will be displayed.
Use buttons 2 and 3 to set value to be displayed on the GIA0420 for an input signal of 4mA.
Buttons 2 and 3 are equipped with a scrolling function, i.e. the value will be increased respectively
decreased by 1 digit when button 2 respectively button 3 is pressed briefly (no more than 1 s). When
pressing these buttons for a longer time (over 1 s) the values will start „scrolling“ upwards respectively
downwards with the scrolling speed being increased after approx. 6s.
Acknowledge value displayed by pressing button 1. "An 4" will be displayed again.
3. Switch over to the next parameter by pressing button 1 once again. "An20" will be displayed (display
for 20mA).
Use buttons 2 and 3 to set value to be displayed on the GIA0420 for an input signal of 20mA.
Acknowledge value displayed by pressing button 1. "An20" will be displayed again.
4. Press button 1 once again. "LI" (limit) will be displayed.
Select measuring range limits desired using buttons 2 and 3.
0=Values exceeding/falling below limits are acceptable. (FE1, FE2 displayed for hardware limits)
1= Values exceeding/falling below limits are not acceptable. (FE1, FE2 displayed for area limits)
Acknowledge selection made by pressing button 1. "LI" will be displayed again.
5. Press button 1 once again. "FILt" (filter) will be displayed.
Select input filter 0, 1, 2 or 3 desired using buttons 2 and 3.
0=no filter
1=filter 1 active
2=filter 2 active
3=filter 1 and filter 2 active
Filter 1: prevents ”jumping” of the last figure, a phenomenon often found with digital displays and
controllers. Make sure to always activate filter 2 if the display range exceeds 2000 digits.
Additional display delay: approx. 1s
Filter 2: for filtering short pikes occurring when relays and contactors are switched. Make sure to always
activate filter 1 if high loads are switched in the vicinity of the GIA0420, wires or sensor or if large pikes are to
be expected.
Additional display delay: approx. 0.5s
Acknowledge selection made by pressing button 1. "FILt" will be displayed again.
The adjustment of the GIA0420 to the transducer is now completed. Do not forget to set alarm limits and
alarm delays if you operate a GIA0420SP (with switching output). This is not necessary for GIA0420
(without switching output). The GIA0420 can be immediately switched over to display the current measuring
vlaue by pressing button 1.
6. Press button 1. "AL.HI" (max. alarm limit) will be displayed.
Use buttons 2 and 3 to set max. alarm limit.
Acknowledge alarm limit set by pressing button 1. "AL.HI" will be displayed again.
7. Press button 1 once again. "AL.Lo" (min. alarm limit) will be displayed.
Use buttons 2 and 3 to set min. alarm limit.
Acknowledge alarm limit set by pressing button 1. "AL.Lo" will be displayed again.
8. Press button 1once again. "dELA" (alarm delay) will be displayed.
Use buttons 2 and 3 to set alarm delay.
The value displayed corresponds to the alarm delay in minutes.
Acknowledge alarm delay set by pressing button 1. "dELA" will be displayed again.
Configuration of the GIA0420SP has now been completed. Press button 1 to switch over to the display of
the current measuring value.
