3. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The main function of this series is to give a clear numeric readout of the variable being monitored.
Various digit heights are available, to suit the maximum viewing distance required in each installation. For
every 10 metres of viewing distance required, use 1” (2,54cm) of digit height.
Various optional output modules are also available to give alarm relay outputs, analogue output or digital
communications, or any combination of these options.
Displays are programmed using front panel pushbuttons. The front panel buttons can be disabled. In addition,
you can connect 4 remote wired pushbuttons to the display, so that you can make adjustments while the
display is mounted in an inaccessible location.
Displays have two power supply options: 100-240 VAC or 11-30VDC
These displays must be installed fully assembled, and must be installed according to local electrical installation
rules.
When properly installed, and provided they have been ordered with cable glands exiting the lower surface of
the case, they provide ingress protection to IP65 / NEMA4X from all directions.
Safety
Caution: There is a risk of electrical shock if this instrument is not properly installed
Caution: Risk of danger: Read the whole manual before you install this display
Obey all safety warnings in this manual, and install the display according to local wiring and installation
regulations. Failure to follow these guidelines may cause damage to the display, connected equipment, or may
be harmful to personnel.
Any moving mechanical device controlled by this equipment must have suitable access guards to prevent
injury to personnel if the display should fail.

4. CONNECTIONS
Warning: Disconnect all power before removing the rear of the display
There is a wide range of possible locations for the input board, output board and power supply board/s. Their
locations depend on the height of digits, number of digits, brightness of digits and any installed options.
Because the permutation of possible locations is large, we will not describe the location of boards within the
display, but simply identify the connectors and their functions on each board.
4.1. Power Board
There are two connectors on the power board.
The first one is already cabled to the signal board.
The second one is the power supply of the DISP-FP
Please, respect the order of the cables

Rev: 08/02/2012
4.2. Signal
There are only two wires for the signal:
The Signal –is the terminal number 2.
The Signal mA+ is the terminal number 3.
You can connect the shielding of the signal cable to the terminal number 7 (Common of the Logic
Inputs)
The fourth is the Signal V+. It must be used, instead of mA+, if you are using a signal in voltage.
The common and CC1 can be used for an additional tare push-button if activated (see 12.1).
4.3. Remote
On one of the display boards, you will find a 7 way connector, to which you can wire remote programming
buttons, to allow adjustment of the display‟s settings when the display is inaccessible.
You can also enable or disable the display‟s front panel buttons, either by a remote contact closure, or by an
on-board push-on jumper switch, which is located near to the remote button connector. When the contact is
closed, or the push-on switch fitted, the front buttons are enabled.

5. DISPLAY BRIGHTNESS
You can adjust the display brightness at any time, provided the display is locked.
DISP-FP4x (4 digits)
DISP-FP6x (6 digits)
6. METER CALIBRATION
You can choose from two main calibration methods.
1. Direct Calibration –calibration that needs a load that the display will measure. This is the preferred
calibration method, because it allows you to calibrate the system as a whole.
2. Theoretical Calibration –calibration using a high and low value which will be entered manually.
How to choose a calibration method:
DISP-FP4x (4 digits)
DISP-FP6x (6 digits)
If you chose Theoretical, you will now be asked whether your input signal will be DC Current or DC voltage ...
the display will show / followed by or

7. SIGNAL FILTERING / AVERAGING
You can adjust the filtering time constant to reduce the effect of noise or instability on your input signal.
A larger FIL value will give a more stable display, but the response to signal changes will be slower.
DISP-FP4x (4 digits)
DISP-FP6x (6 digits)
8. LAST DIGIT ROUNDING UP BY 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 OR 50
You can adjust the way the display rounds up, which is useful if you want to display a very large number, but
do not want jitter on the last digit.
The display can be set to round up to the nearest 1 (no rounding) 2, 5, 10, 20 or 50

9. ERROR CODES AND FAULT FINDING
1. Under Range. The meter is being asked to display a value which is more
negative than its limit of -199999
2. Over Range. The meter is being asked to display a value which is higher than
its limit of 999999
These fault codes could be displayed because the signal is too negative, too positive, or because there is a
wiring error, or because the display‟s scaling has been adjusted to give excessive sensitivity, or because there
is a fault in the display.
A. If you are connecting a 4-20mA signal to the display, please measure the DC millivolt signal
between terminals 2(-) and 3(+) Ideally, you will measure 132mV at 4mA and 660mV at 20mA. If the voltage is
much higher, there may be a problem with the 33 Ohm input shunt resistor.
You can verify this as follows...
Remove the input signal and power connectors to the meter, and measure the resistance between terminals 2
and 3. This should be 33 Ohms. If it is more than this, the resistor has probably been overloaded and burned
by having a voltage connected across it. Please check your field wiring to ensure that no more than 30mA or
1V can be applied to the current input terminals.
B. If the measurements above were satisfactory, the problem may be caused by a bad
configuration.
If you are happy to do so, it is a simple matter to reset the display‟s scaling to the factory default conditions.
Put the lockout switch off
-Press all 4 buttons together for around 3 seconds until the display shows “dEFS n”.
-Ppress the UP button once so the display shows “dEFS Y”.
-Now press the OK button and the display will be reset to factory defaults.
If still no success, please return the display to us for the attention of our QA Manager, with a report of what you
found, for repair.
