PROGRAMMING
The meter’s Single Button Scaling feature allows it to be programmed using only the
ENTER button. The general procedure is to press the ENTER button to accept a
flashing display or to wait for the display to scroll and press ENTER when the
desired display appears.
For instance when the ENTER button is pressed, the meter scrolls through the stan-
dard programming routine titles: [ALIb , TYPE, For[, Alars.It will also scroll the
optional programming routine title: OvtPvt if the meter contains the isolated 4-20
mA Output Option. To enter a programming routine, press ENTER when the meter
displays the desired programming routine title.
The following flow chart overviews the meter programming routines.
There are 5 basic programming instructions
1. If the flashing display is OK, press ENTER before it stops flashing to accept it.
2. If the flashing display is not OK, (or if ENTER was not pressed in time to
accept it), wait for first digit to flash.
3. If a flashing digit is OK press ENTER before it starts to scroll to accept it.
4. If a flashing digit is not OK, (or if ENTER was not pressed in time to accept it),
wait for the digit to scroll, and press ENTER when OK.
5. Digits will scroll until ENTER is pressed. When a digit is accepted by pressing
ENTER, the next digit flashes.
For best results, allow the meter to warm up for at least
30 minutes before calibrating.

CALIBRATION ( (ALIb)
The PD750 is pre-calibrated for 6 types of thermocouples and 2 types of 100 Ω RTD
sensors. The PD751 is pre-calibrated for 10 Ω copper RTD sensors and the PD752
is pre-calibrated for 120 Ω nickel RTD sensors.
These input ranges may be re-calibrated and should be checked every 12 months.
Calibration is performed from the front panel using the ENTER button. It does not
require any tools or disassembly of the meter. The only equipment needed is a ther-
mocouple calibrator or a 5 decade resistance box with an accuracy of about 0.1%
and a minimum resistance of 0.01 Ω for RTDs.
Go to INPUT TYPE on page 11 if calibration is not necessary.
Input 1 Calibration
1. Press ENTER, when [ALIb appears press ENTER again.
2. Meter flashes iNPT1. Apply input 1 (low signal) using a calibrator, THEN press
ENTER.
3. All digits flash for 3 seconds.
If this is the desired display for input 1, press ENTER before
entire display stops flashing, (meter will then flash InPt 2). Go
to step 9 below.
If this is not the desired display, (or if ENTER was not pressed
in time to accept the display) wait for the first digit to flash.
First digit flashes for 3 seconds before it scrolls.
4. When digit is OK, press ENTER, next digit will flash for 3 seconds before it scrolls.
5. When flashing digit is OK, press ENTER, next digit will flash for 3 seconds before
it scrolls.
6. Repeat step 4 for each remaining digits.
7. When last digit is OK, press ENTER.
8. Entire display will flash for 3 seconds. Press ENTER within the 3 seconds if OK to
complete input 1 calibration. If not OK, wait for first digit to flash and go to step 3
above.
9. Meter flashes iNPT 2. Apply input 2 (high signal) using a calibrator, THEN press
ENTER.
10. GO TO STEP 3 ABOVE.

4 ALARM POINTS ( Alars )
The meter is equipped with 4 alarm points as a standard feature. Each alarm may
be programmed for either a high or low alarm and for 0-100% deadband. Front
panel LEDs indicate alarm status.
Options for 2 and 4 relays are available.
To program a high alarm, program the set point above the reset point. To program a
low alarm, program the set point below the reset point.
To program the alarm deadband, set the reset point above or below the set point by
an amount equal to the desired deadband value.
Example: Alarm 2 is a high alarm that trips at 1500° and has a deadband of 100°
Alarm 2 set point is set at 1500° and its reset point at 1400°
Alarm Set and Reset Point Programming ( Alars )
Alarm set and reset point programming is performed in the Alars routine.

repeat steps 2-8.
Determine which alarm set or reset point is being programmed by noting which
LEDs are illuminated. For instance, if the “3” LED and the “R” LED are illuminated,
the meter is displaying alarm #3 reset point. When alarm programming is complete
the meter will display the process input signal and the front panel LEDs will indicate
alarm status.
Programming Confirmation
To verify that the alarm set and reset points have been programmed as desired,
press ENTER, and press ENTER again when Alars appears. Before the display
stops flashing #1 set point value, press ENTER again to advance the display to #1
reset point. Continue skipping through the remaining alarm set and reset points. To
alter an alarm point value, wait for the first digit to flash and follow steps 3-8 above.
Alarm Operation
When the meter detects an alarm, a front panel LED illuminates to indicate which
alarm point has been tripped. This LED will stay illuminated until the meter display
passes through the reset point.
Alarm Acknowledgment
The ACK button on the front panel resets the optional relays only and has no effect
on the alarm status LEDs.

FAIL-SAFE OPERATION:
The relay coils are energized in the non-alarm condition. In the case of a power fail-
ure, the relays will go to the alarm state. The fail-safe operation can be disabled by
removing jumper J2 located at the front of the relay option card.
OPTION CARD PIN-OUTS
Notes:
1. Alarm acknowledgement terminals (ACK and COM) are located on the meter main board.
2. In the alarm condition, the NC contact is connected to common in the fail-safe mode.

RELAYS (Optional)
The meter is available with 2 and 4 relays. The SPDT relays can be programmed
for automatic or automatic + manual reset. The relays can also be programmed for
0-100% deadband.
Set and Reset Point Programming
Refer to page 13 to program the alarm (relay) set and reset points.
Automatic and Manual Reset Programming
There are two ways to reset the relays:
1. Automatically when the signal passes through the reset point.
2. Automatically + manually via the front panel ACK button, or a user supplied
switch across terminals at the rear of the instrument. That is, a relay may be manu-
ally reset prior to the signal passing through the reset point, or, if it is not, it will auto-
matically reset when the signal passes through the reset point.
A manual reset will reset all relays that are programmed for automatic + manual
reset.
An array of jumpers located behind the front panel on the Display Board is used to
program each relay for either automatic or automatic + manual reset. Refer to page
21 for front panel removal instructions. The top jumper is used for relay 1, the next
for relay 2, etc. A relay will automatically reset if no jumper is installed. A relay will
automatically reset, plus can be manually reset, if a jumper is installed over its
respective pins.
Jumpers to program relays for either automatic or automatic + manual reset.
Example: Relay 1 is programmed for automatic reset only.
Relays 2, 3, and 4 are programmed for automatic + manual reset.

SWITCHING INDUCTIVE LOADS
The meter has the ability to suppress electrical noise generated by switching induc-
tive loads. However, installing suppressors improves this performance even more
and prolongs the life of the meter’s relay contacts.
This suppression can be obtained with RC networks assembled by the user or pur-
chased as a complete assembly. Refer to the following circuits for RC network
assembly and installation:
AC and DC LOADS
Choose R and C as follows
R: 0.5 to 1 Ω for each volt across the contacts
C: 0.5 to 1 µF for each 1 A through closed contacts
Notes
1. Use capacitors rated for 240 VAC.
2. Snubbers may affect load release time of solenoid loads, check to confirm proper operation.
3. Install the RC network right at the meter’s relay screw terminals. An RC network may also be
installed across the load.
LOW VOLTAGE DC LOADS
Use a diode with a reverse breakdown voltage two to three times the circuit voltage
and forward current at least as large as the load current.
RC NETWORKS
Suppressors are available and should be applied to each relay that switches an
inductive load. Part number PDX6901.

ISOLATED 4-20 mA OUTPUT OPTION ( OvtPvt )
The meter can be equipped with an isolated 4-20 mA output signal option that can
be programmed to produce a 4-20 mA output for virtually any input.
Connections
The following drawings illustrate the 4-20 mA output signal being powered from the
meter’s internal 24 V power supply (AC powered units only) and by an external
power supply.
4-20 mA output signal being powered by meter’s internal 24 V power supply.
AC powered units only
4-20 mA output signal being powered from an external 24 V power supply.
If the output loop is powered by an external supply, the loop power supply
must be turned on before the meter is turned on. Otherwise, the output loop signal
may be incorrect.
Calibration
The isolated 4-20 mA output signal is calibrated using the front panel ENTER button
and uses the same Single Button Scaling technique that is used to calibrate the sig-
nal input and the alarm set and reset points. A multimeter may be connected to the
output terminals to verify calibration, but it is not required as part of the calibration
process.

4 mA Output Calibration
1. Press ENTER, when OvtPvt appears press ENTER again.
2. All digits flash for 3 seconds, a green LED labeled “4” illuminates indicating the
flashing display is the value at which the meter will produce a 4 mA output.
If this is the desired display at which the meter will produce a 4 mA out
put, press ENTER before entire display stops flashing. The meter indi-
cates that the 4 mA Output Calibration is now complete by illuminating
the green “20” LED. Go to 20 mA Output Calibration below.
If this is not the desired display, (or if ENTER was not pressed in time to
accept the display) wait for the first digit to flash.
3. First digit flashes for 3 seconds before it scrolls.
4. When first digit is OK, press ENTER, next digit will flash for 3 seconds before it
scrolls.
5. When flashing digit is OK, press ENTER, next digit will flash for 3 seconds before
it scrolls.
6. Repeat step 5 for each remaining digits.
7. When last digit is OK, press ENTER.
8. Entire display will flash for 3 seconds. Press ENTER within the 3 seconds if OK to
complete 4 mA Output Calibration. If NOT OK, wait for first digit to flash and go to
step 5 above.
20 mA Output Calibration
Note: The 20 mA output calibrates in the same fashion as 4 mA output so the 4 mA
Calibration Instructions will be referenced for most of the 20 mA Calibration
Instructions.
1. When ENTER is pressed to complete the calibration for 4 mA output, the green
LED labeled “20” illuminates indicating the flashing display is the value at which the
meter will produce a 20 mA output.
2. Repeat steps 2-8 in 4 mA Output Calibration above.
3. Upon acceptance of the display corresponding to the 20 mA output, the meter
exits the outPut routine and returns to indication mode.

quickly checked to make sure they are the desired values. To do this, enter the
OvtPvt routine by pressing ENTER and then pressing ENTER again when
OvtPvt appears.
The green “4” LED illuminates indicating the meter is displaying the value at which it
will produce a 4 mA output. Confirm that this is the desired value. Press ENTER
(within 3 seconds) before the entire display stops flashing and the green “20” LED
illuminates indicating the meter is displaying the value at which it will produce a 20
mA output. Confirm that this is the desired value. Press ENTER (within 3 seconds)
before the entire display stops flashing and the meter returns to indication mode.
LOCKOUT
Install jumper JP2 at rear of instrument to restrict modification of calibration values.
When ENTER is pressed with lockout jumper in place, only Alars and OvtPvt
routines are displayed. These routines may be entered to view their settings, but the
settings may not be altered.
