Sabre P ●Model PD603 Process Meter Instruction Manual
INSTALLATION
There is no need to remove the meter from its case to com-
plete the installation, wiring, and setup of the meter.
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
• Prepare a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout – 3.622" x 1.772" (92 mm
x 45 mm). Refer to Mounting Dimensions, page 29 for more details.
• Clearance: allow at least 4" (102 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.

Connections
All connections are made to removable screw terminal connectors
located at the rear of the meter.
!
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 connectors label, affixed to the meter, shows the location of the
connectors available with requested configuration.

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.

SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
• There is no need to recalibrate the meter
when first received from the factory.
• The meter is factory calibrated prior to
shipment, for all input types, in milliamps and
volts. The calibration equipment is certified to
NIST standards.
Overview
There are no jumpers involved in the setup process of the meter. The
switch, located between the SIGNAL and the RJ11 connectors is not
used with the PD603 model. Setup and programming is done through
the front panel buttons.
After power and signal connections have been completed and verified,
apply power to the meter.
