Thank you for choosing NIVELCO instrument.

We are convinced that you will be satisfied with our product!

1. INTRODUCTION

The UNICONT PDF–01 and PDF–01–6 / A / C Ex devices are 2-wire on-site indicators that can be inserted into a 4...20 mA current loop without the need for

additional power supply. Since the displayed value is proportional to the input, the units are suitable for indication of temperature, pressure, level, etc. values, the

information carried by the loop current. The customer can program the engineering units and the indication range.

The HART capable UNICONT PF-01-4 and PF–01–8 / B / D Ex 3-wire process indicators require additional power supply. Besides displaying the loop

current or the process values, these units convert input current to HART signals and so enable devices that have analogue outputs only to be integrated into

HART®multidrop systems. The ratio between the input and output current can be programmed.

The intelligent electronics and HART®communication enables versatile signal processing and remote programming. The software uses the Universal HART®

commands No. 1 – 3, 6, 7, 11 – 18 and device specific commands No128-132, 135 and 139 of the HART®Revision 5.

Robust enclosure makes applications under harsh conditions also possible. Explosion proof versions are available for hazardous environments.

3.5 MAINTENANCE REPAIR,AND STORAGE CONDITIONS

UNICONT PDF units do not require maintenance on a regular basis. Repair during or after the guarantee period should only be carried out by NIVELCO. Before returning the device

for repairs, it must be cleaned carefully, the parts in contact with the medium that might contain harmful substances must be decontaminated. Our official form

(Returned Equipment Handling Form) must be enclosed. Download it from our website www.nivelco.com. The device must be sent with a declaration of decontamination. Please

provide a statement in the declaration that the decontamination process is completed, the device is clean and free from harmful materials, and there are no hazardous substances on

it. Unused devices must be stored within the ambient temperature range specified in the technical data, with a maximum of 98% relative humidity.

4. INSTALLATION AND ELECTRIC CONNECTION

The devices are suitable for working in closed area or they can be used in open-air applications. When choosing the installation place please ensure proper space for the mounting,

programming and checking the display. Mounting the units on the wall or to a support can be done with using 2 pcs. of M4 nuts. To avoid overheating the instrument should be

protected against direct sunshine.

4.1 WIRING

2-wire indicators are used in 4...20 mA current loops. They do not require external power supply.

3-wire devices are powered with 10–36 VDC (Ex type devices: 10–30 VDC) through the output.

Make sure, that current values on the internal terminals should not exceed overload capability limits.

Wiring should be done with shielded cable, specified under ‘Technical Data’ table.

Devices should be grounded by using their grounding screws.

The screw terminals can be accessed after removal of the housing cover and the display module.

After wiring and programming the cover should be screwed to tightness of the sealing.

Shielding should be grounded at one point.

The housing cover of the flameproof device is allowed to remove only when the unit is de-energized! The housing cover can be removed after unscrew the M2

size hex socket set screw or after dismounting the safety locking bolt by unscrew the M4 size hex socket set screws.

The instrument may be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD) via its terminal, thus apply the precautions commonly used to avoid electrostatic discharge e.g. by

touching a properly grounded point before removing the cover of the enclosure.

possible electrostatic discharge can cause damage for the instrument. Do not touch the internal terminals!

After wiring and programming the housing cover should be closed properly and the hex socket set screw or the safety locking bolt should be tightened! The sealing ring
