INTRODUCTION
The Large Display Temperature Meters are housed in rugged, NEMA 4X
or explosion-proof enclosures. These meters handle temperature display
and alarm applications with simplicity, accuracy, and reliability. They
accept the common thermocouples J, K, T, E, R, and S or 100 Ω
platinum RTD. Options include up to 4 relays for alarms as well as an
isolated 4-20 mA transmitter output. An isolated 24 VDC power supply is
available as standard feature on AC powered models to power the
transmitter output.

Isolated 4-20 mA Transmitter Output
CALIBRATION
RANGE The transmitter output can be calibrated so that a 4 mA output is
produced for any number displayed on the meter. The 20 mA
output may correspond to any number displayed on the meter
(larger or smaller). However, best results are obtained with a
500-count difference between 4 and 20 mA displays.
The output will be linear (example: 4 mA = 0°, 20 mA = 1000°,
output is 6 mA at 125°.)
ACCURACY ±0.1% FS ±.004 mA @ 25°C
NO EQUIPMENT
NEEDED The 4-20 mA output from the Temperature Meter is calibrated
via the ENTER button without the use of a calibrator.

SETUP AND PROGRAMMING
Overview
To setup and program the Digital Temperature Meter, it is necessary to
disassemble the Display Board. See disassembling instructions in the next
pages.
Setting up and programming the Digital Temperature Meter involves four basic
steps:
1. Jumper Configuration (Page 19)
a. Input selection and lockout jumpers
b. Relay acknowledge enable
c. Fail-safe operation of relays
2. Power Selection (Page 20)
a. Changing to 230 VAC power if needed. 115 VAC is factory default on
AC powered models.
b. Labeling meter for power input: 115 VAC or 230 VAC (24 VDC powered
models are labeled as such at the factory).
3. Connections (Page 21)
a. Power connections
b. Signal connections
c. Enter, acknowledgement, and hold reading
d. Relays connections
e. 4-20 mA output connections
4. Programming (Page 29)
a. Basic meter
b. Alarm setup and set points
c. 4-20 mA output
d. Lockout jumper
Programmed Parameter Settings
To simplify programming, write down the desired programming values prior to
attempting to program the meter. The Programmed Parameter Settings form,
located on page 69, provides a convenient method to record the user settings; it
also provides the factory setting for most of the programmable parameters.

Large Display Temperature Meters Instruction Manual
16
Disassembling the Meter
To perform the steps described above, it is necessary to partially disassemble the
meter. Main Board may remain attached to enclosure’s base even during conduit
hub installation if proper precautions are taken.
Disassembling the PD755
1. Loosen the four screws that hold enclosure’s cover and remove the cover.
2. Remove the four mounting screws holding the Display Board (see Figure 28,
page 60).
3. Move the Display Board out of the way. The ribbon cable to the Display
Board may be removed during meter installation. Do not remove standoffs
from the Main Board. The Main Board is secured to enclosure’s base with
four mounting screws.
4. Change voltage selection as required; this is described on page 20. Set
configuration jumpers; connect power and signal wires.
5. Reassemble Display Board prior to applying power.
6. Program meter prior to installing enclosure’s cover.
7. Install lockout jumper to prevent accidental changes to programmed settings.
Disassembling the PD756
!
When servicing the PD756 in a hazardous area, all appropriate
hazardous area procedures must be followed.
1. Remove enclosure’s cover.
2. Loosen the two mounting screws on the right side of the Display Board (see
Figure 29 on page 60). It is not necessary to remove the faceplate.
3. Remove the two mounting screws on the left side of the Display Board.
4. Slide the Display Board out from under the screws. The ribbon cable to the
Display Board may be removed during meter installation. Do not remove
standoffs from the Main Board. The Main Board is secured to enclosure’s
base with four mounting screws.
5. Change voltage selection as required, described on page 20. Set
configuration jumpers; connect power and signal wires.
6. Reassemble the Display Board prior to applying power.
7. To program meter using front panel buttons leave cover off until meter
programming is complete.
8. Install lockout jumper to prevent accidental changes to programmed settings.

Large Display Temperature Meters Instruction Manual
17

2. Replace the two mounting screws on the left side of the Display Board.
3. Tighten the two mounting screws on the right side of the Display Board
4. To program the meter using the front panel buttons leave cover off until
meter programming is complete.

Reassembling the PD757
1. Slide the Display Board under the top three screws (see Figure 30, page 61).
2. Replace the bottom three mounting screws.
3. Tighten the top three mounting screws.
4. Align the enclosure cover so the alarm numbers on the cover are on the left
side of the meter and aligned with the alarm status LEDs.
5. To program the meter using the front panel buttons leave top cover off until
meter programming is complete.
6. Replace the enclosure cover and tighten the four screws that hold it in place.

Jumper Configuration
Before programming the Digital Temperature Meter, it is necessary to configure
three jumper arrays. The jumper arrays are used for setting type of input signal
(thermocouple or RTD), lockout programmed settings, enable relay
acknowledgement (ACK), and setting relay fail-safe operation.

Power Selection
Overview
Power Selection involves the following:
1. Changing to 230 VAC power if needed. 115 VAC is factory default on AC
powered models.
2. Labeling the meter as to how it will be powered: 115 VAC or 230 VAC.
Meters powered from 24 VDC are labeled as such at the factory.
Note: Meters ordered to operate from 24 VDC do not require any special
setup; this option is not field selectable.
Installation and configuration must be undertaken by qualified servicing
personnel.
!
When servicing the PD756 in a hazardous area, all appropriate
hazardous area procedures must be followed.
!
All AC powered meters are shipped from the factory set for 115 VAC
power. Do not apply 230 VAC without first setting up the Digital
Temperature Meter to accept this voltage. Otherwise it will cause
damage to the meter and endanger personnel.
!
Disconnect power prior to performing the following procedures.
All three meters are field selectable for either 115 VAC or 230 VAC
power. Changing the voltage selection involves the removal of the front
cover and the Display Board, then selecting 115V or 230V on switch
S1 located on the Main Board.
!
Observe polarity for DC powered meters. Applying voltage with reverse
polarity may damage the meter.
Do not apply an AC voltage to DC powered meters. Applying an AC
voltage to DC powered meters will result in damage to the meter and
endanger personnel.
Changing from 115 to 230 VAC Power
To access the 115/230 VAC switch it is necessary to remove the housing cover
and the Display Board, see Disassembling the Meter, page 16.
Once the Display Board has been removed, switch S1 is visible. It is the large
black component with a red slide switch on the top, located next to the
transformer. For an illustration see:
Figure 31 on page 61 for PD755
Figure 32 on page 62 for PD756
Figure 33 on page 62 for PD757
For 115 VAC operation, the switch shows 115V; for 230 VAC it shows 230V.
Several setup steps are required and connections made while Display Board is
removed, so it should not be reinstalled just yet. However, to avoid electric shock,
install Display Board prior to applying power.
