Introduction
The PROVU® PD7000 temperature meter accepts a direct temperature input from a wide range of
temperature measurement devices (type J, K, T, E, R, S, B, N, and C thermocouples and 100 or
1000 Ω platinum, 10 Ω copper, 120 Ω nickel RTDs). It displays the measured temperature in either
degrees Fahrenheit or degrees Celsius on a dual-line, 6-digit display whose superluminous LED
digits make it easily readable in smoke, dust, fog, and, with the optional SunBright® display, even
direct sunlight. The PD7000 includes automatic cold junction compensation for thermocouples
and the ability to average up to ten (10) RTD sensors.
A fully loaded PD7000 meter has the following: four SPDT relays, 4-20 mA output, and one 24 VDC
power supply to power the 4-20 mA output. The PD7000 capabilities may be enhanced by adding
the following external expansion modules: four SPST relays (creating an eight-relay temperature
meter), two digital I/O modules with four inputs and four outputs each, and USB, RS-232 or RS-485
communication adapters. A digital input is standard.
The eight relays can be used for alarm indication or temperature control applications. The 4-20 mA
isolated output, Modbus RTU serial communications, and digital I/O options make the PD7000 an
excellent addition to any system.

Panel Mounting Instructions
• Prepare a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout – 3.622" x 1.772" (92 mm x 45 mm). Refer to Figure 1
below, for more details.
• Clearance: allow at least 6.0" (152 mm) behind the panel for wiring.
• Panel thickness: 0.04" - 0.25" (1.0 mm - 6.4 mm).
Recommended minimum panel thickness to maintain Type 4X
rating: 0.06" (1.5 mm) steel panel, 0.16" (4.1 mm) plastic panel.
• Remove the two mounting brackets provided with the meter (back-off the two screws so that there is ¼"
(6.4 mm) or less through the bracket. Slide the bracket toward the front of the case and remove).
• Insert meter into the panel cutout.
• Install mounting brackets and tighten the screws against the panel. To achieve a proper seal, tighten
the mounting bracket screws evenly until meter is snug to the panel along its short side. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN, as the rear of the panel may be damaged.

Signal Connections
Signal connections are made to a three-terminal connector labeled SIGNAL on Figure 5.
Thermocouple and RTD Connections
The following figures show examples for thermocouple and RTD connections.
The TYPE selector switch must be set to the proper position for the meter to accept the selected RTD or
TC input.
The RANGE selector switch is used to select 100-ohm platinum or 10-ohm copper RTD. The 1000-ohm
platinum RTD input uses the same setting as the 100-ohm RTD.
The input type is selected using the Setup menu.
The selected thermocouple input must correspond to the thermocouple sensor and wire type used.
The meter accepts two, three, or four-wire RTDs. The three-wire RTD connection has built-in lead wire
compensation.
Lead wire compensation for two-wire RTDs can be applied using the Adjust menu. See the Advanced
Features Menu on page 34.
The four-wire RTD connection is similar to the three-wire. One of the leads of a four-wire RTD is not
connected, and may be clipped off.
The three-wire connection provides sufficient lead wire compensation to obtain accurate readings even
with long leads.

Switching Inductive Loads
The use of suppressors (snubbers) is strongly recommended when switching inductive loads to prevent
disrupting the microprocessor’s operation. The suppressors also prolong the life of the relay contacts.
Suppression can be obtained with resistor-capacitor (RC) networks assembled by the user or purchased
as complete assemblies. Refer to the following circuits for RC network assembly and installation:
Figure 13. AC and DC Loads Protection
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 amp through closed contacts
Notes:
1. Use capacitors rated for 250 VAC.
2. RC networks may affect load release time of solenoid loads. Check to confirm proper operation.
3. Install the RC network at the meter's relay screw terminals. An RC network may also be installed
across the load. Experiment for best results.
Figure 14. Low Voltage DC Loads Protection
RC Networks Available from Precision Digital
RC networks are available from Precision Digital and should be applied to each relay contact switching an
inductive load. Part number: PDX6901.
Note: Relays are de-rated to 1/14th HP (50 watts) with an inductive load.
F4 Digital Input Connections
A digital input, F4, is standard on the meter. This digital input connected with a normally open closure
across F4 and COM, or with an active low signal applied to F4.

4-20 mA Output Connections
Connections for the 4-20 mA output are made to the connector terminals labeled MA OUT. The 4-20 mA
output may be powered internally or from an external power supply.
Figure 16. 4-20 mA Output Connections
Power Supply for Analog Output Loop or Other Uses
The internal 24 VDC power supply powering the analog output may be used to power other devices, if the
analog output is not used. The I+ terminal is the +24 V and the R terminal is the return.
External Relays & Digital I/O Connections
The relay and the digital I/O expansion modules PDA1004 & PDA1044 are connected to the meter using
a CAT5 cable provided with each module. The two RJ45 connectors on the expansion modules are
identical and interchangeable; they are used to connect additional modules to the system.
Note: The jumper located between the RJ45 connectors of the PDA1044 must be removed on the second
digital I/O module in order for the system to recognize it as module #2.
Warning!
Do not connect or disconnect the expansion
modules with the power on!
More detailed instructions are provided with each
optional expansion module.

Interlock Relay Feature
As the name implies, the interlock relay feature reassigns one, or more, alarm/control relays for use as
interlock relay(s). Interlock contact(s) are wired to digital input(s) and trigger the interlock relay. This
feature is enabled by configuring the relay, and relative digital input(s) (see page 31). In one example, dry
interlock contacts are connected in series to one digital input which will be used to force on (energize) the
assigned interlock power relay when all interlock contacts are closed (safe). The interlock relay front
panel LED flashes when locked out. The interlock relay would be wired in-series with the load (N/O
contact). See below.

Setup and Programming
The meter is factory calibrated prior to shipment to read temperature in
degrees Fahrenheit. The calibration equipment is certified to NIST standards.
Overview
There are two switches, located at the back of the meter, to set the input selection for TC or RTD and for
100-ohm platinum or 10-ohm copper. The 1000-ohm RTD input uses the same setting as the 100-ohm.
Setup and programming is done through the front panel buttons.
After power and input signal connections have been completed and verified, apply power to the meter.

MeterView® Pro Software
The meter can also be programmed using the PC-based MeterView Pro software included with the meter.
This software can be installed on any Microsoft® Windows® (XP/Vista/7/8/10) computer by connecting
the meter’s onboard USB. The meter is powered by the USB connection, so there is no need to wire any-
thing prior to programming the meter, though USB is intended only for meter configuration.
MeterView Pro Installation
1. Connect one end of the provided USB cable to the meter and the other end to the computer.
The computer will automatically install the driver software it needs to talk to the meter.
Only one meter may be connected at a time. At-
taching multiple meters will cause a conflict
with the meter software.
2. Once the driver is installed, an AutoPlay dialog should appear
for the drive “MAINSTAL.” Click “Open folder to view files.”
If the computer does not display an AutoPlay dialog for the
drive “MAINSTAL,” you should open My Computer and double-
click on the drive labeled “MAINSTAL.”
3. Double-click on the file named “MAStart.” The program will
open a few windows and install two programs on your com-
puter. Simply follow the onscreen instructions until you see
one of the dialogs below. If you receive a “User Account Con-
trol” warning, click “Yes.”
4. If there is an update available, click the “Update” button to in-
stall the new version. Otherwise, click “Configure” to begin pro-
gramming your meter.
Note: If you decide to update your MeterView Pro software, once the installation has completed, you
will be asked if you want to update the setup files located on the meter itself. This way, you will always
have the most current version on the meter for future installs.
Warn-
ing!
Do not unplug the meter while the new installation files are being written to it. The
meter will display uwrite during the process and you will receive an onscreen noti-
fication once the process is complete.
Data logging for one meter at a time is available with MeterView Pro software. More advanced data ac-
quisition may be accomplished by using any Modbus RTU compliant software. Additional information re-
garding configuration and monitoring of the meter using MeterView Pro software is available online.
