3. Instrument Inspection
Instruments are inspected before shipping and sent out in perfect condition.
Should damage to a device be visible, we recommend a thorough inspection of the
delivery packaging. In case of damage, please inform your parcel service /
forwarding agent immediately, since they are responsible for damages during
transit.
Scope of delivery:
The standard delivery includes:
 “Description instrument” model: “DAG-A44”
4. Regulation Use
Any use of the device, which exceeds the manufacturer’s specification, may
invalidate its warranty. Therefore, any resulting damage is not the responsibility of
the manufacturer. The user assumes all risk for such usage.

5. Assembly
Please read the safety advice on page 13 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!
The dimension symbols can be exchanged before installation via a channel
on the side!

6. Electrical connection
Advice:
The galvanic insulation in devices with temperature sensors, that do not have a
galvanic connection to an extrinsic potential, can be cancelled by a bridge from
terminal 2 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.

7. Function and operation description
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 parameterization level should be always
confirmed by pressing the [P] key to save them. However, the display
automatically saves all adjustments and then switches to operation mode if no
further keys are pressed within 10 seconds.

8. Setting up the device
8.1 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 switch-on progress, the segment test (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.
8.2 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 meu level with the first menu item TYPE.

page 10 DAG-A44 K05/0123
8.3 Extended parameterization
By pressing the [ ] & [ ] buttons during standard parameterization for one second,
the display switches to the extended parameterization mode. Operation is the
same as in standard parameterization.

9. Functional principle of the set points
Limit value exceedance „High“
By limit value exceedance the
Alarm S1-S2 is off below the
threshold and on on reaching the
Threshold.
Limit value undercut “Low”
By limit value undercut the alarm
S1-S2 is on below the threshold
and switched off on reaching the
threshold.
Alarms / optical setpoint display
An activated set point can be optically indicated by flashing of the 7-segment
display.

10. Factory settings
10.1 Default values
10.2 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.

13. Safety advice
Please read the following safety advice and the assembly chapter 5 before
installation and keep it for future reference
Proper use
The DAG-A…device is designed for the evaluation and display of sensor 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-A…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 0.5 A N.B
fuse.
 Do not install inductive consumers (relays, solenoid valves etc.) near the
device and supress any interference with the aid of RC spark extinguishing
combinations or free-wheeling diodes.
 Keep input, output and supply lines separate from one another and do not lay
them parallel with each other. Position “go” and “return” lines next to one
another. Where possible use twisted pair. So, you receive best measuring
results.
 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 equalizer (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
 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 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.

15. Disposal
Note!
 Avoid environmental damage caused by media-contaminated parts
 Dispose of the device and packaging in an environmentally friendly manner
 Comply with applicable national and international disposal regulations and
environmental regulations.
Batteries
Batteries containing pollutants are marked with a sign consisting of a crossed-out
garbage can and the chemical symbol (Cd, Hg, Li or Pb) of the heavy metal that
is decisive for the classification as containing pollutants:
Cd1 Hg2 Pb3 Li4
1. „Cd" stands for cadmium
2. „Hg" stands for mercury
3. „Pb" stands for lead
4. „Li" stands for lithium
