The instruction manuals on our website www.kobold.com are always for currently
manufactured version of our products. Due to technical changes, the instruction
manuals available online may not always correspond to the product version you
have purchased. If you need an instruction manual that corresponds to the

Operating instructions, data sheet, approvals and further information via the QR
code on the device or via www.kobold.com
The devices are only to be used, maintained and serviced by persons familiar with
these operating instructions and in accordance with local regulations applying to
Health & Safety and prevention of accidents.
When used in machines, the measuring unit should be used only when the
machines fulfil the EC machinery directive.
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:
 Digital Indicator and Controller model: DAG-M3F
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. Operating Principle
The panel meter DAG-M3F can evaluate pulses in many different ways and show
the result in the 5-digit LED-display. Available options are: frequency coverage
with optional filters, summate of pulses or display values via the time, detection of
a rotational speed or collection of a position via an incremental encoder. The
results can be monitored via alarm conditions and can be displayed onto the
optional switching point.
Furthermore, the results can be freely scaled on an optional analog output and
relayed to a control system. The device can be operated directly by Namur
sensors, 3-wire sensors, switching/slider contacts, incremental encoders (HTL-
/TTL-output) or TTL-signals.
Via the 3 navigation keys on the front, the device can be adjusted onto different kind
of applications and later on different functions of the device can be controlled.
With an individual code, the created parameterisation can be protected against
changes of the user.
Numerous applications can be realised with this device, like e.g. tachometer,
revolution counter, flowmeter, dosing equipment, filling capacity meter, baking
time meter of a baking oven, flying knife, position evaluation, position surveillance,
flow rate surveillance, acoustic discharge measurements and so on. By use of
the integrated, configurable functions like permanent min/max-recording,
averaging, frequency filter, setpoint setting, threshold value recording via alarm
system, 30-points-linearisation, mathematic charging and many more, you
receive an universal applicable modern instrument for your demands in
measuring and control technique.

6. Assembly
Please read the Safety advice on page 40 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!

8. Function and operation description
Operation
The operation is divided into three different levels.
Menu level (delivery status)
The menu level is for the standard settings of the device. Only menu items
which are sufficient to set the device into operation are displayed. To get into
the professional level, run through the menu level and parameterise “prof “ under
menu item RUN .
Menu group level (complete function volume)
Suited for complex applications as e.g. linkage of alarms, setpoint treatment,
totaliser function etc. In this level, function groups which allow an extended
parameterisation of the standard settings are availabe. To leave the menu group
level, run through this level and parameterise „uloc„ under menu item RUN.
Parameterisation level:
Parameter deposited in the menu item can here be parameterised. Functions,
that can be changed or adjusted, are always signalised by a flashing of the
display. Settings that are made in the parameterisation level are confirmed with
[P] and thus safed. Pressing the [O]-key („zero-key“) leads to a break-off of the
value input and to a change into the menu level. All adjustments are safed
automatically by the device and it changes into operating mode, if no further key
operation is done within the next 10 seconds.

9. Setting up the device
9.1 Switching-on
Once the installation is complete, start the device by applying the voltage supply.
Before, check once again that all 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 starting sequence, the device
switches to operation/display mode.
9.2 Standard parameterisation: (flat operation level)
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.
