Safety First ..............Don't assume anything............. Always double check.
If in doubt, ask someone who is QUALIFIED to assist you in the subject.
Warnings
Please carefully read this manual and all warnings. Install the meter ONLY when you are sure
that you’ve covered all aspects.
Where the product is intended for “UL” installations, removal or
addition of option boards is not permitted.
Check that the model number and supply voltage suit your application before
you install the meter.
Connect the meter according to current IEE regulations, IEC61010 &
NFPA:70 National Electric Code in USA.
This meter is for Installation class II service only. This means it
has exposed electrical and power terminals. You must install it in a
suitable fire enclosure which will also protect users from electric shock
We designed this meter for Pollution-Degree 2 environments only.
Power supplies to this equipment must have anti-surge (T) fuses rated at 400mA for
230V supply, 400mA for 110V supply or 2A for DC supplies in the range 11-30VDC.
Only Siba fuses in series 189500, cULus listed according to file #E167295 are
accepted for this service under the terms of UL listing.Aswitch or circuit breaker, clearly
marked as a disconnecting device, must be included close to the installation.
Don’t touch any circuitry after you have connected the meter, because there may be
lethal voltages on the circuit board.
Only adjust on-board switches or connections with the power turned off
Make sure all screw terminals are tight before you switch the meter on.
Only clean the meter’s front with a soft damp cloth. Only lightly dampen with water.
Do not use any other solvents. The behind-panel case may be cleaned with a dry cloth
only, use no liquid or solvent on it.

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.
Any moving mechanical device controlled by this equipment must have suitable access guards
to prevent injury to personnel if the meter should fail.

Caution: There is a risk of electrical
shock if this instrument is not properly installed
Caution: Risk of danger: Read the whole
manual before you install this meter

Panel Mounting and Installation - Class II
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
Re-fit the U-Bracket and tighten the bracket
screws to firmly clamp the meter in place.
Check that the gasket is evenly pinched
between the meter’s front bezel and the
enclosure front
Ventilation
There should be sufficient ventilation in the
enclosure to ensure that the meter’s case is
always kept to less than 60C.
Meter Spacing.
Meters should be spaced apart sufficiently
to allow a free flow of ventilation air around
the meters, such that no part of the case will
exceed 60C

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)

Other mounting options
IP67 SPC4
The SPC4 splashproof cover gives
IP67 / NEMA4-X protection for the
front of your meter. Ideal for use in
harsh wet environments.
Available with optional security tag
ports to allow you to fit your own
crimped wire tamper-seals, to pre-
vent or indicate unauthorised access
(Similar to tags used on electricity
meters)
Wall Box
The Wallbox is sealed IP65 all round,
and is supplied with the meter in-
stalled, for you to wire to, via 3 cable
glands. It comes complete with SPC4
splashproof cover.
We also offer a dual version of this
enclosure, which can take 2 meters,
one above the other.
PCC Series
The PCC series of Portable Carrying
cases is ideal for housing your panel
meters so that they can be used in the
lab. These enclosure come fully
wired, with panel meters fitted and
with IEC switched power connector
plus any input or output connectors,
as required.
Versions are available to accept 1, 2,
4, 6, 8, 12 or 16 meters

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.
