3. Warnings and Safety
3.1. General
Instrument not to be subject to shock, excessive vibration
or extremes of temperature; before or after installation.
Inputs are protected against electrical interference, but
excessive levels of electro-magnetic radiation and RFI
may affect operation.
For full EMC or for RFI immunity, termination of the cable
shields and correct earthing of the instrument is essential.
Instrument is sensitive to excessive electrical noise and
should be installed well away from any power or switching
circuits.
3.2. Electrical Safety
For your protection all mains electrical hardware must be
rated to the environmental conditions of use.
Pluggable equipment must be installed near an easily
accessible power socket outlet.
To avoid the possibility of electric shock or damage to the
instrument, always switch off or isolate the instrument
from the power supply before maintenance is carried out.
3.3. Cleaning
•To maintain the D32x version, never use harsh
abrasive cleaners or solvents. Wipe the instrument
with a soft cloth slightly dampened with warm soapy
water.
•The XD30 has been designed for high-pressure, high
temperature (80°C) wash-down environments. However
long periods of focused pressure at a close range will
damage the casing. Casing is chemical resistant.

4. Installation
4.1. General Setup Information
The following steps are required to set up the remote
display.
•Inspect instrument to ensure good condition.
•Ensure mounting options and connectors are available.
•Use connection diagram to wire up power and serial
cables as required.
•Then D32x remote display can be panel mounted. Use
the "Panel Drilling Template" provided for hole
locations. The panel mounting screws are also used to
attach desk/wall brackets or the stainless steel rear
housing accessories.
•Connect the serial and power cables to the instrument.
If using an RS-232 to RS-485 converter, connect the
converter between the serial cable and the remote
display serial port connector.
•Set the transmitting device to 9600 or 19200 baud and
select the preferred output format for that instrument.
4.2. Panel Mounting (D32x Only)
The simplest way to mount the instrument is to use the drill
template supplied. The template indicates positions for the
drill holes for the two 4mm mounting screws through the
panel. Also displayed on the template is the position of the
rectangular hole that should be cut to allow for the
connection of cables. The drill template supplied with the
indicator allows for front or rear machining of the panel.

D300-602-202Page 9
4.3. Cable Connections
4.3.1. D32x Version
All cable connections are made to the rear of the instrument
using screwless terminals. Wires must be stripped of
insulation by at least 10mm.
To install, carefully depress the orange lever beside the
terminal required and push the wire into the hole. Release
the lever and pull gently on the wire to ensure it is securely
trapped in the terminal. It is not necessary to tin the ends of
the wire with solder or to add crimp ferrules to the wires, but
these techniques are also compatible with the terminals and
may make for a neater job.
Warning: Care should be taken when depressing the
levers on the screwless connectors to prevent sideways
movement and possible damage. Use only appropriate
tools (eg. flathead screwdriver). Do not use sharp
instruments (eg. pens).
4.3.2. XD30 Version
All cable connections are made
to the rear of the instrument
using pluggable screw terminals. It is not necessary to tin
the ends of the wire with solder or to add crimp ferrules to
the wires, however, these techniques are also compatible
with the terminals and may ultimately make for a neater job.
4.4. DC Power
The DC supply need not be regulated, provided that it is free
of excessive electrical noise and sudden transients.The
instrument can be operated from a high quality plug-pack as
long as there is sufficient capacity to drive it.

4.5. D32x RS-232 Serial Auxiliary Connection
Remote Display
As a minimum the RXD and GND pins need to be
connected to TXD and GND on the Indicator.

4.7. Cable Shield Connection and Earthing
To obtain full EMC resistance cable shields MUST be
connected to the earth lug/terminal on the rear of the display.
Care should be taken when connecting shields to maximise
EMC or RFI immunity and minimise earth loops and cross-
talk (interference) between instruments.
For full EMC or for RFI immunity, termination of the cable
shields at the earth lug is very important. The earth lug of
the instrument must be separately connected to ground
potential via a reliable link.
The instrument should only be connected to earth via a
single reliable link to avoid earth loops.
Where each instrument is separately earthed,
interconnecting cable shields should be connected at one
end only.

5.2. Delimiters
The instrument responds to any string that ends with the
following:
CRLF (ASCII 013, 010), or
ENQ (ASCII 05), or
any string that starts with STX (ASCII 02) and ends with
ETX (ASCII 03).
5.3. Address
The instrument has a default address of 01 however the
address can be set to 02 on the DX30 by connecting the TXD
output to the DTR input, or on the D32X by connecting the 2
pins above RXD. Most protocols are not addressed so this is
usually not necessary.
