5. Brief description
The panel instrument DAG-A3B is a 4-digit device for temperature metering via
Pt1000-sensors and a visual limit value monitoring via the display. The
configuration happens via three front keys. An integrated programming interlock
prevents unrequested changes of the parameter and can be unlocked again via
an individual code.
The electrical connection happens on the rear side via plug-in terminals.
Selectable functions like e.g. the recall of the min/max-value, an impedance
matching and a direct change of the limit value in operating mode complete the
modern device concept.

6. Assembly
Please read the Safety advice on page 17 before installation and keep this user
manual for future reference.
1. After removing the fixing elements, insert the device.
2. Check the seal to make sure it fits securely.
3. Click the fixing elements back into place and tighten the
clamping screws by hand. Then use a screwdriver to tighten
them another half a turn.
CAUTION! The torque should not exceed 0.1 Nm!

7. Electrical Connection
Type DAG-A3B0000R Type DAG-A3B3000R
with a supply of 230 VAC with a supply of 24 VDC galv. isolated
Advice:
The galvanic isolation in devices with temperature sensors, that do not have a
galvanic connection to an extrinsic potential, can be cancelled by an bridge from
terminal 3 to 4 and thus stabilise the device against external failures.
Devices with a supply of 230 VAC need to connect terminal 3 to signal ground.

8. Function description and operation
Operation
The operation is divided into two different levels.
Menu Level
Here it is possible to navigate between the individual menu items.
Parameterization level:
The parameters stored in the menu item can be parameterized here.
Functions that can be adjusted or changed are always indicated with a flashing
of the display. Adjustments made at the parameterisation level should be always
confirmed by pressing the [P]-key to save them.
However, the display automatically saves all adjustments and then switches
into operation mode if no further keys are pressed within 10 seconds.

9. Setting up the device
9.1 Switching on
Once the installation is complete, you can start the device by applying the current
loop. Check beforehand once again that all the electrical connections are correct.
Starting sequence
For 1 second during the switching-on process, the segment test (8 8 8 8 8) is
displayed, followed by an indication of the software type and, after that, also for
1 second, the software version. After the start-up
sequence, the device switches
to operation/display mode.
9.2 Standard parameterization:
To be able to parameterize the display, press the [P] key in operating mode for 1
second. The display then changes to the menu level with the first menu item TYPE.

10. Reset to default values
To return the unit to a defined basic state, a reset can be carried out to the default
values.
The following procedure should be used:
Switch off the power supply
Press button [P]
Switch on voltage supply and press [P]-button until „ - - - -“ is shown in the display.
With reset, the default values of the program table are loaded and used for
subsequent operation. This puts
the unit back to the state in which it was supplied.
Caution! All application-related data are lost.

14. Safety advice
Please read the following safety advice and the assembly chapter 6 before
installation and keep it for future reference.
Proper use
The DAG-device is designed for the evaluation and display of Pt1000 signals.
Danger! Careless use or improper operation can result in
personal injury and/or damage to the equipment.
Control of the device
The panel meters are checked before dispatch and sent out in perfect condition.
Should there be any visible damage, we recommend close examination of the
packaging. Please inform the supplier immediately of any damage.
Installation
The DAG-device must be installed by a suitably qualified specialist (e.g. with a
qualification in industrial electronics).
Notes on installation
• There must be no magnetic or electric fields in the vicinity of the device, e.g. due
to transformers, mobile phones or electrostatic discharge.
• The fuse rating of the supply voltage should not exceed a value of 6A N.B. fuse.
• Do not install inductive consumers (relays, solenoid valves etc.) near the device
and suppress any interference with the aid of RC spark extinguishing
combinations or free- wheeling diodes.
• Keep input, output and supply lines separate from each other and do not lay them
parallel with each other. Position “go” and “return lines” next to one another.
Where possible use twisted pair. So, the best measuring results can be received.
• Screen off and twist sensor lines. Do not lay current-carrying lines in the vicinity.
Connect the
screening on one side on a suitable potential equaliser (normally signal ground).
• The device is not suitable for installation in areas where there is a risk of
explosion.
• Any electrical connection deviating from the connection diagram can endanger
human life
and/or can destroy the equipment.

DAG-A3B
DAG-A3B K05/0722 page 17
• The terminal area of the devices is part of the service. Here electrostatic
discharge needs to be avoided. Attention! High voltages can cause dangerous
body currents.
• Galvanic insulated potentials within one complex need to be placed on an
appropriate point (normally earth or machines ground). So, a lower disturbance
sensibility against impacted energy can be reached and dangerous potentials,
that can occur on long lines or due to faulty wiring, can be avoided.
