4.1. UNPACKING
After removing the unit from the protective packaging, check for transportation damage. Any
transportation damage must be immediately reported to the carrier. Also, write down the unit
serial number on the housing and report the damage to the manufacturer.
Attached with the unit please find:
- user’s manual,
- warranty,
- assembly brackets - pieces.
4.2. ASSEMBLY
- The unit is designed for mounting indoor inside housings (control panel,
switchboard) assuring appropriate protection against electric impulse waves.
Metal housing must be connected to the grounding in a way complying with the
governing regulations.
- Disconnect the power supply prior to starting assembly.
- Check the correctness of the performed connections prior to switching the unit on.
In order to assembly the unit, a 66,5 x 3 ,5 mm mounting hole (Figure 4.1) must be
prepared. The thickness of the material of which the panel is made must not exceed
5mm. When preparing the mounting hole take the grooves for catches located on
both sides of the housing into consideration (Figure 4.1). Place the unit in the
mounting hole inserting it from the front side of the panel, and then fix it using the

4.3. CONNECTION METHOD
Caution
- Installation should be conducted by qualified personnel . During installation all
available safety requirements should be considered. The fitter is responsible for
executing the installation according to this manual, local safety and EMC
regulations.
- The unit is not equipped with an internal fuse or power supply circuit breaker.
Because of this an external time-delay cut-out fuse with minimal possible nominal
current value must be used (recommended bipolar, max. A) and a power supply
circuit-breaker located near the unit. In the case of using a monopolar fuse it must
be mounted on the phase cable (L).
- The power supply network cable diameter must be selected in such a way that in
the case of a short circuit of the cable from the side of the unit the cable shall be
protected against destruction with an electrical installation fuse.
- Wiring must meet appropriate standards and local regulations and laws.
- In order to secure against accidental short circuit the connection cables must be
terminated with appropriate insulated cable tips.
- Tighten the clamping screws. The recommended tightening torque is 0.5 Nm.
Loose screws can cause fire or defective operation. Over tightening can lead to
damaging the connections inside the units and breaking the thread.
- In the case of the unit being fitted with separable clamps they should be inserted
into appropriate connectors in the unit, even if they are not used for any
connections.
- Unused clamps (marked as n.c.) must not be used for connecting any
connecting cables (e.g. as bridges), because this can cause damage to the
equipment or electric shock.
- If the unit is equipped with housing, covers and sealing packing, protecting
against water intrusion, pay special attention to their correct tightening or clamping.
In the case of any doubt consider using additional preventive measures (covers,
roofing, seals, etc.). Carelessly executed assembly can increase the risk of electric
shock.
- After the installation is completed do not touch the unit’s connections when it is
switched on, because it carries the risk of electrical shock.

User manual for regulated current source SZP-73
Due to possible significant interference in industrial installations appropriate measures
assuring correct operation of the unit must be applied. To avoid the unit of improper
indications keep recommendations listed below.
–Avoid common (parallel) leading of signal cables and transmission cables together with
power supply cables and cables controlling induction loads (e.g. contactors). Such cables
should cross at a right angle.
–Contactor coils and induction loads should be equipped with anti-interference protection
systems, e.g. RC-type.
–Use of screened signal cables is recommended. Signal cable screens should be
connected to the earthing only at one of the ends of the screened cable.
–In the case of magnetically induced interference the use of twisted couples of signal
cables (so-called “spirals”) is recommended. The spiral (best if shielded) must be used
with RS-485 serial transmission connections.
–In the case of interference from the power supply side the use of appropriate anti-
interference filters is recommended. Bear in mind that the connection between the filter
and the unit should be as short as possible and the metal housing of the filter must be
connected to the earthing with largest possible surface. The cables connected to the filter
output must not run in parallel with cables with interference (e.g. circuits controlling relays
or contactors).
Connections of power supply voltage and measurement signals are executed using the
screw connections on the back of the unit’s housing.

parameters “OUtL” and “OUtH” (see OPIS MENU). Decimal point position can be set to any
decade using parameter “ nt” (see OPIS MENU).
• if displayed value is equal to value of parameter “OUtL” - output current is equal 4 mA
• if displayed value is equal to value of parameter “OUtH” - output current is equal 0 mA
• all values between “OUtL” and “OUtH” are recalculated to output current according to
formula:
Iout=Z−" OUtL"
"OUtH"−"OUtL" ×16 mA4mA
where Z denotes required value.
Buttons [^] and [v] allow to change of current value (recalculated value in this mode). If user
presses and holds one of these buttons current is being changed with increasing speed.
The range of displayed and generated values is “OUtL” ÷ “OUtH” in this mode.

”bAud” - this parameter determines RS-485 interface baud rate. It can be set to one of 8
possible values: ”1.2”, ”2.4”, ”4.8”, ”9.6”, ”19.2”, ”38.4”,”57.6”,”115.2”, which
respond to the baud rates of 1 00, 400, 4800, 9600, 19 00, 38400, 57600 and
115 00 bit/s respectively.
”mbAc” - this parameter sets the access to the configuration registers of the device.
Possible values:
”on” - configuration registers can be set via RS-485 interface,
”oFF” - configuration registers can not be set via RS-485 interface.
”rES ” - this parameter defines minimal (additional) delay between the Modbus message
and the answer of the device (received and sent via RS-485 interface). This
additional delay allows the device to work with poor RS-converters which do not
works properly on baud rates higher than 19 00. This parameter can be set to one
of values:
”Std” - answer as quick as possible, no additional delay
” 1 c”
” 2 c”
” 5 c”
”1 c”
”2 c”
- answer delayed of 10, 0, 50, 100 of 00 chars respectively, where
one character time depends on selected baud rate
In the most cases parameter ”rES ” should be set to ”Std” (no additional delay).
Unfortunately for some third party RS-converters ”rES ” should be adjusted
experimentally. Table 7.1 contains most frequently used values.
”bAud” parameter “38.4” “57.6” “115. ”
”rESP” parameter “ 10c” “ 0c” “ 50c”

7.3.1 . ”Edit” paramet er
This parameter allows to change the edition mode of numerical parameters:
”dig” - the change to “by digit” mode,
”Slid” - slide change mode.
7.3.11. ”dEFS” parameter
This setting allows to restore the factory settings of the device. To get the access to this
option special password is required: „5465”, next the device displays acknowledge question
„SEt?”. Press [ENTER] to acknowledge the restoring of factory settings or [ESC] to cancel.
7.3.12. ”SErv” menu
This menu contains the parameters for authorized service only. To enter this menu
proper service password must be entered. Improper settings can causes of damage of the
device.

8. THE MODBUS PRO TOCOL HANDLING
Transmission parameters: 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 or stop bit ( bits are send, 1 and bits
are accepted when receive), no parity control
Baud rate: selectable from: 1 00 to 115 00 bits/second
Transmission protocol: MODBUS RTU compatible
The device parameters and display value are available via RS-485 interface, as HOLDING-
type registers (numeric values are given in U code) of Modbus RTU protocol. The registers
(or groups of the registers) can be read by 03h function, and wrote by 06h (single registers) or
10h (group of the registers) accordingly to Modbus RTU specification. Maximum group size for
03h and 10h functions can not exceeds 16 registers (for single frame).
The device interprets the broadcast messages, but then do not sends the answers.
