OC7040A-POL is a programmable 6 digit instrument with inputs for process signals such as 0-20mA, 4-
20mA, 0-1V, 0-10V, -1V...+1V und -10V...+10VDC and 20mV Strain Gauge Applications. The display
can be scaled in required process units like kg, gr, lb, kN etc. Isolated excitation is available for supplying
of external sensors. Output options Set Points, Analogue Outputs and Serial Data Ports are suitable for
control applications.
The instrument can be used for measuring of linear and non-linear signals. The non-linear signals can be
linearized with a polynom of sixth degree.
Linear Signals can easily be calibrated with the keyboard to the desired display values. The Minimum
and the Maximum of the input signal will be assigned to the Minimum and the Maximum of the display
reading, such as 4 - 20mA at the input will appear at the display as 0 - 25000.
Linearizing with a Polynom sixth degree uses 6 digit Coefficients with decimal point and sign and
Exponents settable between 0 and ±24.
The Menu of the instrument can be entered with the keyboard or serial data port and contains four Set
Points with hysteresis, selection of the Input Range, Linearizing functions, Filter, Tara, two Analogue
Outputs, Sampling Rate, Display Count and Serial Data Ports.

5
Four Set Points can be set within the entire display range 0…±999999. They activate four output
transistors or four mechanical Relays. The hysteresis can be individually programmed.
Input is designed for signals 0 ... ±1V, 0 ... ±10 V or 0/4-20mA. For Strain Gauge applications a
programmable range is also available.
Linearizing with a Polynom of 6th degree can be activated in the menu. The polynom is of 6th degree
with 6 digit Coefficients with decimal point and sign and Exponents programmable from 0 and ±24.
Digital Filter with averaging function has selectable constants from 1 to 99. The filter can be deactivated
in the menu.
Tara can be selected in the menu and activated with the keyboard. The Tara remains stored also when
the instrument is switched-off from the supply. The Tara can easily be set with the key SET forcing the
display to zero. When the key SET is pressed for a second time, the display returns to show the non-
Tara signal.
Analogue Outputs 0 ... ±10V and 0/4-20mA are generated simultaneously and can be assigned with
the keyboard to any two desired display values.
Sampling Rate is selectable from 1 to 30. The selected value determines the number of measurements
after which the display will be refreshed with new information. By selection of 1 the display will be
refreshed 15 times per second.
LSD Count can be set for 1, 2, 5 or 0. These numbers correspond to the reading of the Last Significant
Digit of the display. When 1 is selected, the LSD reads all numbers between 0 and 9. When 2 is
selected, the LSD reads only even numbers. With 5 the LSD reads 0, 5, 0, 5… When 0 is selected, the
LSD displays dummy zero.
Peak Memory can be used for displaying of the Maximum and the Minimum display reading during the
determined measuring period. With the keyboard the values can be recalled at the display or erased
upon demand.
Two Serial ports RS232 and RS485 are optionally available. The RS485 data port has a programmable
address which permits the instrument to operate on an addressable data bus.

6 POLYNOM – LINEARIZING
The Polynom-Linearizing will be activated in the Menu. A polynom of sixth degree can be used.
The Polynom contains 7 coefficients: coef0 cee0 to coef6 coee6, whereas the Index is the Exponent
which multiplies the measured value. It will also be multiplied by a tenth power which is entered as coee.
The coefficients have 6 digits with decimal point and sign, the exponents can be set from 0 to ±24.
The entry can be done with the keyboard or via the data port. The display follows the input signal in a
format:
DISPLAY = ±Coef 0x10±0±Coef 1x10±1±Coef 2x10±2±Coef 3x10±3±Coef 4x10±4±Coef 5x10±5±Coef 6x10±6
Example:
Y = 5000 = 0 + 1X1 + 5X2 + 8X3 + 6X4 + 10X5 + 1X6(see Fig. bellow)
The result Xof this polynom is: X = 3.154. This value will be inserted in the menu step Set Hi.

7 CALIBRATION
7.1 Calibration of linear signals DC and AC
The calibration of linear signal such as 4-20mA, 0-1V is described in § 10, Service Menu-HtESt.
7.2 Calibration of non-linear signals (Tables)
Following is the calibration of non-linear signals derived from internally memorized function tables:
7.2.1 Calibration of Pt-100 Thermometers
7.2.2 Calibration of Thermocouples
7.3 Calculation of R19 (see table at page 14)
The correct range can be checked during the calibration in the service mode HtESt -§ 10. When zero
input signal is applied, the display has to show the reference voltage is 1.25xxx. With the maximum at
the input the display shall not exceed 2.50V. It is recommended to design R19 in a way that the display
shows 2.2xxxx with maximum input signal. There still remain 10% reserves for overrange.

the signal channel can be calibrated, the Set Points activated and the Analogue Output signals
generated. With the key MENU the menu steps are incremented, with SET decremented.
