ISOLATED PARALLEL BCD OPTION
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The optional parallel BCD board works concurrently in two output modes: 6-digit
parallel BCD (24 lines) and addressable 3-digit. In addition to the 6-digit BCD, this
board outputs the alarm condition (High, Low and Go), polarity, overflow, and
decimal point binary address signals. The outputs are three-state and electrically
isolated from the main board. They are active when the appropriate address is
applied on connector P4, pins L24, U24, L23, and U23. The inputs are internally
connected to the main board via the interconnection of P5 with J5.
Outputs are available on P4, a 50-pin dual-row header at the rear of the board. The
P4 mates with a standard, 50-pin mass-terminated connector. The P4 outputs can
be frozen by making the HOLD input (P4-U21) low. Although the BCD outputs are
always valid, the DATA READY signal goes active low for approximately 0.2
millisecond when BCD data is updated.
2.0 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The parallel BCD board is positioned as an upper board in the P6000A/P5000.
Refer to the exploded view in the main board manual.
To avoid electrical shock be sure to disconnect the unit from its power supply.
To install:
1. Hold the board upside-down with components facing the main board.
2. Position the P5 pins to mate with the J5 connector on the power supply
board.
3. Push the board downward until it rests on the upper rear panel and the
display board.
3.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
NOTE: The software switch SS3 of Configuration 2 must be set (XXX1XX)
to activate the parallel BCD board. For more information, refer to
Section 4.1 of the P6000A/P5000 main board manual.
3.1 POWER
A n is olat ed + 5 V ±10% ext ernal power supply is required and s hould be c onnect ed t o pi n
P4-L21 (+5 V) and pin P4-L19 (ISO GND). If isolation is not required, S5A, S5B, S6A, and
S6B may be installed to power the parallel BCD option by the main board.

3.2 BCD OUTPUTS
The board is factory-set as 6-digit parallel BCD. Outputs are enabled when the
binary address on the instrument select lines, pins L24, U24, L23, and U23, match
the board address (set by pin group S1). The output polarity is normally positive
true (reversible by S4) and each output can drive 10 LSTTL loads.

3.3 POLARITY OUTPUT
This three-state output is active when Digits 1, 2 and 3 are enabled. Signal
polarity can be reversed by a push-on jumper at S4. With a jumper on S4-A, a
high level corresponds to a positive display value.
3.4 DECIMAL POINT BINARY ADDRESS (D.P. 1, 2 AND 4)
These three-state outputs are enabled with Digits 1, 2 and 3. Signal polarity can be
reversed by a push-on jumper at S4. With a jumper on S4-A, the outputs represent
positive true binary address of a right-hand decimal point (see Table 3-2).

Table 3-2 Decimal Point Binary Address
3.5 OVERFLOW OUTPUT
This three-state output is active when Digits 4, 5 and 6 are enabled. S4 reverses
the polarity. When a jumper is installed on S4-A, an overflow condition makes this
output go high. In this case, all of the digits of the parallel BCD board
represent a "9" (BCD 1001). The decimal point address corresponds to the
point selected as Fixed Range decimal point. S7 connects this output to
pin U22 of the P4 connector.

5
3.6 ALARM OUTPUTS (HI, LO, GO)
These three-state outputs are enabled with Digits 4, 5 and 6. S8, S9, and S10
connect HI, LO, and GO to P4-U1, L1 and U2, respectively. The polarity is positive
true (high level corresponds to an alarm condition) when a jumper is installed on
S4-A.
3.7 DATA READY OUTPUT
The output is always valid because the parallel BCD data updates synchronously
with a single clock pulse. A negative true DATA READY signal goes high,
however, for about 0.2 milliseconds when the parallel BCD data is updated.
3.8 INSTRUMENT SELECT INPUTS (P4-U23, L23, U24 AND L24)
These are TTL-compatible inputs with 47 k Ohms pull-up resistors. When the input
logic levels match the instrument address (set by S1), the outputs are enabled.
When the logic levels do not match, they are in high impedance. Refer to Table 3-1.
3.9 HOLD INPUT
When low, this input freezes the outputs and makes the DATA READY low true.
The internal BCD data continues to update. The updated data replaces the
outputs when HOLD goes high.*
* If the HOLD input goes high during transmission, the output update is postponed in
order to prevent erroneous output. Each transmission requires approximately 10
milliseconds.

4.0 JUMPER SELECTION
Pin Group Function
S1 Selects the binary address (Table 3-1).
S2 Jumper installed on A:* Board can be selected by four
address lines on connector P4, pins L24, U24, L23 and U23.
Jumper installed on B: A high or low level on L24 selects
the board when S1-B1 or S1-B1 are installed respectively.
S3 Controls the DATA READY output.
Jumper installed on A:* DATA READY is active low when
the input address matches the board address.
Jumper installed on B: DATA READY is active when P4-L24
matches S1-B1 or P4-U24 matches S1-B2.
S4 Inverts all output logics except DATA READY. S4-A*
corresponds to positive true logic.
S5, S6 Jumpers installed on A and B of S5 and S6: The main board
powers the parallel BCD board. The outputs are not isolated
from the main board. Default setting of these jumpers is open.
S7, S8, S9, S10 Connects Overflow, High, Low and Go signals to connector
P4, pins U22, U1, L1 and U2, respectively. Default setting
of these jumpers is open.

5.0 CONTROLLER INTERCONNECTIONS
5.1 INTERCONNECTION WITH A PARALLEL BCD PRINTER
If printing the decimal point is not required or if the printer recognizes a positive
true binary address for the decimal point, simply connect the 24 line BCD outputs
(6 digits x 4) to the corresponding inputs of the printer. For negative true BCD and
decimal point address, install S4-B. If the parallel BCD printer accepts more than
6Êdigits, tie the unused inputs (digits 7, 8, etc.) to GND or high level, as required,
to print a BLANK on those positions.
Some printers or data acquisition systems can only accept a binary address of a
left-hand decimal point (001 corresponds to XXXXX.X instead of XXXXXX.). For
interconnection to such a system, connect each digit (4 BCD lines) to the next
more significant digit input of the printer (e.g., D1→D2, D3→D4, . . . D6→D7).
With this method, all of the digits are printed one position to the left;
therefore, the decimal point prints in the correct position. Digit 1 input and
other unused inputs of the printer should be tied to the appropriate level
to print a BLANK or zero.

5.2 INTERFACE WITH PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLLERS
If the controller can accept 24 bits of BCD data (32 bits if other data is also
required), the 6-digit parallel BCD mode can be used.
In addressable 3-digit-at-a-time mode, only half of the I/O lines are required. In this
mode, digits 4, 5, and 6, Overflow, High, Low, and Go signals can be accessed on
the same lines of Digits 1, 2, and 3, D.P. 1, D.P.2, D.P. 4 and Polarity signals.
Parallel BCD board can be configured as an addressable 3-digit-at-a-time BCD as
follows:
1. Move U5A and U5B integrated circuits (IC) to U5B and U6B sockets.
2. Install a jumper on S2-B and S3-B.
The outputs can be enabled by an appropriate logic level on U24 and L24 pins of
P4 (see Table 3-1).

DUAL 8 A RELAY OPTION
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The relay option provides two Form-C relays corresponding with LO and HI
setpoints of the P6000A/P5000. The inputs are internally connected and the
outputs are available on TB4, a 6-position barrier. TB4J, a mating screw-
clamp connector, is standard.
2.0 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The relay board is positioned as an upper board in the P6000A/P5000. Refer
to the exploded view in the main board manual.
To avoid electrical shock be sure to disconnect the unit from its power supply.
To install:
1. Hold the relay board upside-down with components facing the main
board.
2. Position the P5 pins to mate with the J5 connector on the power supply
board.
3. Push the board downward until it rests on the upper rear panel and the
display board.
3.0 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS AND JUMPER SELECTION
3.1 RELAY OUTPUTS
These outputs are available on the TB4 connector (Figure 3-1). The relay
board is rated for 8 A current with resistive and 3 A with inductive loads.
Push-on jumpers must be removed from pin groups S1 and S2 (Figure 3-2)
when the P6000A/P5000 is powered by an external battery (connected to
V+ of P2) with a voltage higher than 9 volts.

3.2 S3 OF THE RELAY BOARD
If a jumper is installed on the HI position, high relay is energized when high alarm
is active.
If a jumper is installed on HI, the relay is energized when high alarm is not active
(LO or GO active). Also, with the jumper on HI, the high setpoint should be higher
than the low setpoint.
NOTE: Refer to the P6000A/P5000 main board owner's manual for low alarm
polarity reversal.
