PRIMEX™ 2 SP6R Level Controller User Manual

The SP6R level controller is a simple, easy-to-use microprocessor-based controller which monitors any
4-20 mA signal. It has six programmable relay outputs that can be used for control and alarm. The trans-
ducer input zero and span are fully configurable. A simulation mode allows the user to test the set-points
and relay operation.
SP6R LEVEL CONTROLLER INTRODUCTION
The standard SP6R level controller contains (see Figure 2 on page 5 of this manual):
• one SP6R level controller
• two mounting brackets for panel mounting
• a three pin power supply connector block (P1)
• a five pin transducer connector block (P2)
• a 18 pin relay output connector block (P3)
The SP6R-N4X version includes a controller mounted within a NEMA 4X enclosure with a pre-wired power
supply and terminal blocks.

WARNINGS
Failure to read and understand the information provided in this manual may result in personal injury or
death, damage to the product or product failure. Please read each section in its entirety and be sure you
understand the information provided in the section and related sections before attempting any of the proce-
dures or operations given.
Failure to follow these precautions could result in serious injury or death. Keep these instructions with
warranty after installation. This product must be installed in accordance with National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70 so as to prevent moisture from entering or accumulating within the controller housing.
See additional specifications on page 14 of this manual.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
Disconnect power before installing or servicing this product.
A qualified service person must install and service this product according to applicable
electrical codes.
EXPLOSION OR FIRE HAZARD
Do not use this product with flammable liquids. Do not install in hazardous locations
as defined by National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70.
• Do not install in area with: excessive or conductive dust, corrosive or flammable gas, moisture
or rain, excessive heat, regular impact shocks or excessive vibration.
• Do not place in water or let water leak onto the controller.
• Do not allow debris to fall inside the unit during installation.
• Double-check all the wiring before turning on the power supply.
• Do not touch live wires.
• Stay as far as possible from high-voltage cables and power equipment.
• Leave a minimum of 10 mm space for ventilation between the top and bottom edges of the
controller and enclosure walls.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1. POWER (Terminal P1)
Connect power to terminal 1 and 2: the unit requires 24 VDC (+/- 10%).
2. TRANSDUCER (Terminal P3)
For loop powered transducers (2 wire) connect power conductor to terminal 1 and 2. If the cable is
protected with an overall shield, connect the shield to terminal (3). Terminal 4 and 5 must be con-
nected if an output follower is not required. If no valid input is present, the controller will display
SENSOR and all outputs will be de-energized.
NOTE: To avoid ground loops, the shield of the signal cable must only be grounded at one end.
3. OUTPUT RELAY CONNECTIONS
The relay outputs are rated up to 10 A (resistive) at 240 VAC, fuse protection is required individually
or as a group.

mersible pressure transducer.

FUNCTION KEYS / DISPLAYS
LEFT AND RIGHT ARROW KEYS
are used to navigate through the menu items. These arrow keys can also be
used to back out when in editing and simulation mode.
ENTER KEY
is used for selecting a menu item for editing. This key is also used after a
valued has been edited to store in memory.
UP AND DOWN ARROW KEYS
is used to increase or decrease the current value being edited.
NOTE: The display automatically returns to “level” after 20 seconds of
inactivity, regardless of where it was left.
Pressing once will increment the current value by one unit. Pressing and
holding will begin repeatedly incrementing after a short delay. If the opera-
tor continues to hold the key, the value continues to increment at a faster
rate.
SET POINTS
6 programmable set points
status LED. Form C
(SPDT) contacts: rated at
10A at 240 VAC.
LEVEL DISPLAY
Eight character alpha-
numeric LED for process
value display and pro-
gram parameters.
KEYPAD
Arrow keys are used
to navigate through the
configuration and used for
adjusting set points.
BAR GRAPH
20 segment bar graph
display for process value.
Each bar represents 5%
of full scale.

LEVEL DISPLAY
The adjustable ON and OFF function allows for an individual hysteresis or differential setting of each set-
point. For an emptying application, the ON set-point must be greater than the OFF set-point. For a fill-
ing application, the ON set-point must be less than the OFF set-point (Refer to FIGUIRE 5).
NOTE: For proper operation of the SP6R controller, the ON and OFF set-points must not be set to
the same value.

CONFIGURATION
To enter the configuration mode, simultaneously press the LEFT and RIGHT
arrow key and hold for three (3) seconds with the unit powered ON.
NOTE: Eight (8) seconds of inactivity (no keys pressed) will terminate the
configuration menu and exit back to the run menu.
The first item in the configuration menu is the UNITS selection. Use the
LEFT or RIGHT arrow keys to navigate through all the items in this menu.
UNITS Select the unit of measure display after the process value.
FT= Feet
IN = Inches
CM= Centimeters
%= Percentage
oC= Degrees Celsius
oF= Degrees Fahrenheit
PS = Pound Per Square Inch (PSI)
BR = Bar
NONE = Blank, No Units Displayed
When you are at the item you wish to edit, press the ENTER key and the
original value for the item selected will flash. Use the UP and DOWN arrow
keys to change to your desired value and press ENTER.
NOTE: The edited value will not be saved until the ENTER key is pressed.
4 mA Set the value displayed when the signal value is equal to 4
mA (zero). The default value is zero.
20 mA Set the value displayed when the signal value is equal to 20
mA (span). The default value is 10.0.
BAR MIN This value set the level for which all bars on the bar graph will
turn OFF.
BAR MAX This value set the level for which all bars on the bar graph
will turn ON.
OFFSET An offset value can be added or subtracted to bring the display
value to zero at atmospheric pressure. If you are using a
submersible pressure transducer, the level readout at atmos-
pheric pressure (out of the wet well) should be zero. If it is not,
add or subtract (negative) a value to bring the display to zero.
Check the level readout to verify it is zero. If not, try changing
the offset again.
