NOTE 1: If any of the following operations are performed in the
hazardous area, all appropriate hazardous area procedures must
be followed.
NOTE 2: To prevent damage to electronic components caused by
electrostatic discharge, a grounding strap should be worn when
servicing the display.
SETUP
The only tools needed for calibration are a calibrated current source and a
screwdriver.
Calibration Connections
To access the input terminals it is necessary to remove the enclosure cover and
the Display PCB. This is done by loosening the four screws on the enclosure
cover and removing the cover. Completely loosen the left screw that holds the
Display PCB to the enclosure and loosen the right screw about four turns so
the Display PCB remains attached to the enclosure. Rotate the Display PCB
90° to gain access to the Input Signal PCB. Next, connect a calibrated current
source per Figure 1.
Decimal Point Selection
The decimal point jumper array is located in the lower right corner of the
Display PCB next to the display. It is labeled DP1, DP2, DP3. Place a jumper
over both pins of DP1 for a display of 199.9, DP2 for 19.99, or DP3 for
1.999.
Calibration
LO and HI calibration controls are located to the left of the display
(see Figure 1). Apply a signal equal to 4 mA and adjust the LO control
to display the desired reading. Apply a signal between 16 and 20 mA and
adjust the HI control to display the desired reading. Complete the calibration
procedure by making any minor adjustments to the LO and HI controls.
Installation
Installation of the meter involves removing the Display PCB from its enclosure
and connecting a 1/2″ conduit fitting to the hole provided. Refer to PD686
FM Approved & CSA Certified Loop-Powered Meter Intrinsic Safety Barrier
Connections diagrams (LIM686-2) for further details. Wall mounting holes are
located in each corner of the enclosure (see Figure 4).
Loop Connections
Disconnect power to the loop and install the meter as illustrated in Figure
2 and the PD686 FM Approved & CSA Certified Loop-Powered Meter
Intrinsic Safety Barrier Connections diagrams (LIM686-2) supplied with the
instrument. Replace the enclosure cover.
Removing Display PCB From the Loop
The Display PCB and Input Signal PCB are connected together with one black
and one red wire. The wires are soldered to the Display PCB and connected to
a screw terminal connector on the Input Signal PCB.
To remove Display PCB:
1. Loosen the four screws on the enclosure cover and remove the cover from
the enclosure base.
2. Completely loosen the left-side screw holding the Display PCB to the
enclosure and loosen the right-side screw four turns so the Display PCB
remains secure to the enclosure.
3. Rotate the Display PCB 90° to gain access to the Input Signal PCB.
4. Install Loop Jumper over both pins to bypass Display PCB and allow the
signal to flow through the Loop Jumper. The display turns off when jumper
is installed.
5.
Disconnect the black and red signal wires from the screw terminal
connector.
6. Loosen completely the right-side screw and lift Display PCB from
enclosure. Care should be taken to prevent static electricity from damaging
the electronic circuitry.
7. Restore enclosure cover to the base to prevent contamination of
components.
Restoring Display PCB to the Loop
1. Remove enclosure cover as described above in step 1.
2. Secure Display PCB to enclosure using right-side screw; do not tighten
screw to allow rotation of Display PCB while accessing Input Signal PCB.
3. Connect red wire to S+ terminal and black wire to S- terminal, as shown in
Figure 1.
4. Remove Loop Jumper to allow the signal to flow through Display PCB
(save push-on jumper by placing over one pin only).
5. Tighten screws holding Display PCB and install enclosure cover.
Servicing Display PCB Outside the Loop
Two modes of input signal allow the user to remove the Display PCB for
service without interrupting the loop as indicated above and operate the
Display PCB at another location in a non-hazardous area. The loop remains
connected to the Input Signal PCB while the Display PCB is absent for service.
The user may operate the Display PCB at another location by connecting a
signal to “S+” and “S-” wires on the Display PCB. Refer to Figure 3.
