2. INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
The transmitter is set by two control keys on the front panel or via data line RS 232/485.
A standard equipment is the OM Link interface, through which it is possible to modify and store all settings. The
OM Link program is freely procurable, to be downloaded from the web site. For the connection an OM Link cable
is necessary.
All programmable parameters are stored in the EEPROM memory (they hold even after the instrument is switched
off).
EXTENSION
Excitation is suitable for feeding sensors and converters. It has a galvanic isolation of 12…24 VDC.
Comparators are assigned to control two limit values with relay output. The limits have adjustbale hysteresis as
well as selectable delay of the switch-on. Reaching the preset limits is signalled by LED and simultaneously by the
switch-on of the relevant relay.
Data outputs are for their rate and accuracy suitable for transmission of the measured data for further projection or
directly into the control systems. We offer an isolated RS 232 and RS 485 with the ASCII protocol.
Real time is an internal time control of data collection. It is suitable everywhere where it is neccessary to register
measured values in a given time segment. Up to 65 000 values may be stored in the instrument‘s memory. Data
transmission into PC via serial interface RS232/485
FIRMWARE www.orbit.merret.cz/update
With respect to the continuous development and innovation of our products it is now possible to download the most
recent program version for every instrument directly from the web pages.
After connecting the instrument to PC and running the program the upgrade is performed automatically .
Number of the current program version in your instrument can be found in „Configuration menu - service - identifi-
cation“

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE OMX 100
3. CONNECTION
The lead for feeding the instrument should not be in the proximity of the incoming low-potential signals.
Contactors, motors with larger input power and other efficient elements should not be in the proximity of the instru-
ment.
The lead into the input of the instrument (the measured quantity) should be in sufficient distance from all power leads
and appliances. Provided this cannot be secured it is necessary to use shielded leads with connection to ground.
The instruments are tested in compliance with standards for use in industrial area, yet we recommend to abide by
the above mentioned principles.
Relay parameters listed in Technical data apply for resistance
load. Upon connection of induction load we recommend
fitting the leads to relay 1 A with a fuse for protection of
maximum load.
Grounding on terminal „E“ has to be connected at
all times.
In RTD and OHM inputs it is necessary in 2 or 3-wire connec-
tion to link the unconnected inputs to terminal board.

SETTING THE DECIMAL POINT AND THE (-) SIGN
DECIMAL POINT
Its selection in the setting mode is performed by control key with transition behind the highest decade, when the
data starts flashing. Positioning is performed by .
For projection of value exceeding 999 the „k“ suffix may be set up (display value is multiplied by 1000, only for
frequency output).
MINUS SIGN
Setting the minus sign is performed by control key on the higher decade. When editing the item, figures change
in numeric row 0,1…9,-,0,1
ACCESS INTO THE CONFIGURATION MODE
The code from manufacture is always
preset to 000. In case of loss of access
password it is possible to use the universal access

time - time base
- if you set the time of measurement e.g to 1s,
the measuring time is approximately from
1s to 2s (1 s + maximum one period of
measured signal). If no impulse comes within
2 s , it is understood that the signal has zero
frequency
- range of the setting of the time base is 0,5 s
to 10 s
- in the „RTC“ regime with projection of date
the set time determines the period of switching
between time/date, min. is 5 s, the date is
displayed for approximately 2,5

parameter indicates maximum possible
instrument frequency (Hz), which the
instrument may process without restriction
Method and process of the setting of
CJC is described in separate chapter
on page 31
Valid for the „Counter“ mode
When entering the contact and if we
know the maximum input frequency we
recommend using the filter
