Model PD6000 Analog Input Process Meter Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION
The PD6000 is a multipurpose, easy to use digital process meter ideal for level,
flow rate, temperature, or pressure transmitter applications. It accepts current
and voltage signals (e.g. 4-20 mA, 0-10 V). Three of the front panel buttons can
be custom-programmed for specific operation.
The basic model includes an isolated 24 VDC transmitter power supply that can
be used to power the input transmitter or other devices. An additional isolated
24 VDC power supply is included with the 4-20 mA output option.
A fully loaded PD6000 meter has the following: four SPDT relays, 4-20 mA output,
and two 24 VDC power supplies. The PD6000 capabilities may be enhanced by
adding the following external expansion modules: four SPST relays –creating an
eight-relay process meter–, two digital I/O modules with four inputs and four outputs
each, and RS-232 or RS-485 communication adapters.
The eight relays can be used for alarm indication or process control applications,
such as pump alternation control. The 4-20 mA isolated output, serial communica-
tions, and digital I/O options make the PD6000 an excellent addition to any system.

INSTALLATION
There is no need to remove the meter from its case to com-
plete the installation, wiring, and setup of the meter for most
applications. Instructions are provided for 12 VDC meter power
and for 5 or 10 V transmitter power applications, see page 16.
Unpacking
Remove the meter from box. Inspect the packaging and con-
tents for damage. Report damages, if any, to the carrier.
If any part is missing or the meter malfunctions, please contact
your supplier or the factory for assistance.
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.

Do not exceed voltage rating of the selected configuration.
Meters equipped with the 12/24 VDC power option are shipped
from the factory ready to operate from 24 VDC.
To configure the meter for 12 VDC power:
1. Remove all the connectors.
2. Unscrew the back cover.
3. Slide the back cover about 1 inch.
4. Configure the J9 jumper, located behind the power con-
nector, for 12 V as shown below.

All meters, including models equipped with the 12/24 VDC power
option, are shipped from the factory configured to provide 24 VDC
power for the transmitter or sensor.
If the transmitter requires 5 or 10 VDC excitation, the internal jum-
per J4 must be configured accordingly.
To access the voltage selection jumper:
1. Remove all the wiring connectors.
2. Unscrew the back cover.
3. Slide out the back cover by about 1 inch.

Use copper wire with 60°C or 60/75°C insulation
for all line voltage connections. Observe all safety
regulations. Electrical wiring should be performed
in accordance with all applicable national, state,
and local codes to prevent damage to the meter
and ensure personnel safety.

The current input is protected against current overload by a resettable
fuse. The display may or may not show a fault condition depending on
the nature of the overload.
The fuse limits the current to a safe level when it detects a fault condi-
tion, and automatically resets itself when the fault condition is removed.

The meter is capable of accepting any voltage from -10 VDC to +10 VDC.
Serial Communications
Serial communications connection is made to an RJ45 connector la-
beled M-LINK on Figure 5. Use PDA1232 for RS-232 interfacing or the
PDA1485 for RS-422/485 interfacing. The same port is used for inter-
facing with all expansion modules (e.g. external relays, digital I/O).
Use the PDA1200 meter copy cable for meter-to-meter interfacing for
cloning purposes (i.e. copying settings from one meter to other meters).
Relay Connections
Relay connections are made to two six-terminal connectors labeled
RELAY1 – RELAY4 on Figure 5. Each relay’s C terminal is common
only to the normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts of the
corresponding relay. The relays’ C terminals should not be confused
with the COM (common) terminal of the INPUT SIGNAL connector.
