PART 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Description
This device can be purchased as monitor (read process value only) or as
a controller.
• The iSeries Strain and Process monitors can measure a wide variety of DC
voltage and current inputs for all common load cells, pressure transducers
and strain gauge type of transducer. The voltage /current inputs are fully
scaleable to virtually all engineering units, with selectable decimal point,
perfect for use with pressure, flow or other process input.
• The iSeries monitor features a large, three color programmable display with
capability to change a color every time when Alarm is triggered. The standard
features include built-in excitation for transducers, selectable as 10V @ 60 mA
or 5 V @ 40 mA. (Built-in excitation is not available with optional isolated
RS-232/485 Serial Communication). Universal power supply accepts 90 to 240.
Low voltage power option accepts 24 Vac or 12 to 36 Vdc.
• Options include programmable RS-232 or RS-485 serial communication and
ethernet with an embedded web server.

1.2 Safety Considerations
This device is marked with the international caution symbol. It is
important to read this manual before installing or commissioning this
device as it contains important information relating to Safety and EMC
(Electromagnetic Compatibility).
This instrument is a panel mount device protected in accordance with
EN 61010-1:2001, electrical safety requirements for electrical equipment
for measurement, control and laboratory. Installation of this instrument
should be done by qualified personnel. In order to ensure safe operation,
the following instructions should be followed.
This instrument has no power-on switch. An external switch or circuit-
breaker shall be included in the building installation as a disconnecting
device. It shall be marked to indicate this function, and it shall be in close
proximity to the equipment within easy reach of the operator. The switch
or circuit-breaker shall not interrupt the Protective Conductor (Earth wire),
and it shall meet the relevant requirements of IEC 947–1 and IEC 947-3
(International Electrotechnical Commission). The switch shall not be
incorporated in the main supply cord.
Furthermore, to provide protection against excessive energy being
drawn from the main supply in case of a fault in the equipment, an
overcurrent protection device shall be installed.
• Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the top of the
instrument housing.
• Always disconnect power before changing signal and power
connections.
• Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its case for safety
reasons.
• Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive
atmospheres.
• Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.
• Unit mounting should allow for adequate ventilation to ensure
instrument does not exceed operating temperature rating.
• Use electrical wires with adequate size to handle mechanical strain
and power requirements. Install without exposing bare wire outside
the connector to minimize electrical shock hazards.
EMC Considerations
• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
• Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.
• Install Ferrite Bead(s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC
problems persist.
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!

1.3 Before You Begin
Inspecting Your Shipment:
Remove the packing slip and verify that you have received everything
listed. Inspect the container and equipment for signs of damage as soon
as you receive the shipment. Note any evidence of rough handling in
transit. Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent. The carrier
will not honor damage claims unless all shipping material is saved for
inspection. After examining and removing the contents, save the packing
material and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.
Customer Service:
If you need assistance, please call the nearest Customer Service
Department, listed in this manual.
Manuals, Software:
The latest Operation and Communication Manual as well as free software
and ActiveX controls are available at the website listed on the cover
page of this manual or on the CD-ROM enclosed with your
shipment.
For first-time users: Refer to the QuickStart Manual for basic operation
and set-up instructions.
If you have the Serial Communications/Ethernet Option you can easily
configure the controller on your computer or on-line.
To Reset the Meter:
When the monitor is in the "MENU" Mode, push conce to direct monitor
one step backward of the top menu item.
Push ctwice to reset monitor, prior to resuming "Run" Mode except
after "Alarms", that will go to the "Run" Mode without resetting the
monitor.
