General Description
This series of meters accepts industrial sensors to allow various physical measurements to
be made, such a weight, temperature, pressure, humidity etc. Different models are available
for different sensor types.
The main function of this series is to give a numeric readout of the variable being monitored.
Most models include an excitation power output, to power the sensor directly.
Various optional output modules are also available to give alarm relay outputs, analogue
output or digital communications, or any combination of these options.
Meters are programmed using front panel pushbuttons. The buttons may be locked with a
rear switch.
Meters have two power supply options : 100-240 VAC or 11-30VDC
These meters are designed to mount into a protective enclosure which will protect users from
contact with power and signal wiring.
These units must be installed fully assembled, and must be installed according to local electrical
installation rules. When properly installed, they provide ingress protection to IP65 / NMA4X
from the front
Safety
Obey all safety warnings in this manual, and install the meter according to local wiring and
installation regulations. Failure to follow these guidelines may cause damage to the meter,
connected equipment, or may be harmful to personnel.

DIN Rail Mounting option
The INT2 Series is ideal if you need high precision signal conditioning. Sometimes, it is not
necessary to have front panel indication, so in such cases, we offer a DIN rail mounting option,
which allows the INT2 to be installed within a control panel.
Detachable connectors add to the simplicity of installation, and of course the setup method is
identical to the panel mounting version, so you don’t need to learn a new method.
The INT2’s display remains active, so you can see at a glance the status of your signals, and
programming is simple, using the 4 buttons.
Output functions include isolated 16 bit 4-20mA, 0-10V, -10 to +10V, RS232, RS485 and up
to 4 alarms with a wide choice of alarm functions.
Install the meters in a suitable protective electrical control enclosure according to local wiring
regulations. See specifications for maximum allowable temperature in enclosure. Allow
adequate air circulation.
Securing into the panel
Use standard top-Hat DIN rail 35 mm x 7.5 mm (EN 50022, BS 5584, DIN 46277-3)

Wiring Advice
This meter uses detachable screw terminal connectors. Refer to the wiring diagram on the
following page for the correct positioning of each wire.
The conductors you use must be suitable for the meter’s temperature, current and voltage
rating, which is broadly described as follows:-
Cable Temperature Rating
All cables must be rated for operation up to 90C continuous.
Cable gauge and screw tightness
The connectors on this instrument can accept conductors up to 16 gauge AWG / 1.5mm2
c.s.a. The minimum cross sectional area shall be 22 gauge AWG / 0.5mm2 . Tighten screw
terminals to 7.0 lb/in torque / 0.8 Nm torque.
Cable insulation voltage rating
Cables shall have an insulation voltage rating of at least 380V continuous.
Wire preparation:
We recommend multi-strand wire, because it withstands vibration better than single strand
cable. Pull the wire firmly after you make the connection to confirm it is tight.
Use screened cable for all signal and control wiring and connect the screen to earth at the
destination end only. Route signal cabling away from power cabling and relay switching
cabling, to avoid electrical noise interference.

Installation hints for best performance
This section offers several suggestions which will help you get the best performance from
your measurement system.
Shunts generate comparitively small signals which can easily be corrupted by the potentially
high level of electrical noise which can be created by electrical machinery such as motors,
welding systems, discharge lighting, AC power inverters and solenoids. These steps will
ensure you get the best possible performance from your system.
1. Use good quality screened signal cable, with twisted pairs. Belden 8777NH,
Belden 9503 and AlphaWire 6010C are good choices, available from many
electrical distributors.
2. If you are using multi-pair twisted cable, each pair should be dedicated to a single
display as shown opposite, for maximum noise immunity.This will ensure that any
electrical noise induced in the cable is properly cancelled. Mixing destinations
carelessly amongst the twisted pairs can actually worsen noise performance.
3. The cable should be routed away from noisy wiring and devices such as power
feeds from inverters, discharge-lighting cables, welder cabling etc, and should
preferrably be routed in a dedicated low voltage signalling/instrumentation conduit
or cable tray.
4. Screened cable should be earthed at the display end only.
5. All wires and screens coming out of the screened cable should be kept as short
as possible to minimise pickup of noise.
6. If you are using barriers, you should earth your screen as shown below, paying
particular care that you do not earth both ends of any run of of cable.

Display 1 Display 2 Display 3
Shunt1 Shunt2 Shunt 3
When using multi-core screened cable to connect several displays to several shunts, please be sure to use one twisted pair for each display and shunt. Do NOT use a wire from one pair for signal positive and a wire from another pair for signal negative, as this will prevent the twisted cables form cancelling any induced electrical noise.

Now you can choose from two main calibration methods.
1. Direct Calibration - this is when you connect the meter to your system and
make the meter read what you want it to, at 2 different points. This is the preferred
calibration method, because it allows you to calibrate the system as a whole.
2. Theoretical Calibration - this is when you type in the sensor’s theoretical
signal level at the bottom and top of itsrange and then type in the value the
display should show, for each signal level.
