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 a small nominal current
value must be used (recommended bipolar, max. 2A) 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 terminals (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 to, 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.
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 running signal cables and transmission cables together with power supply cables
and cables controlling inductive loads (e.g. contactors). Such cables should cross at
a right angle.
–Contactor coils and inductive loads should be equipped with 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 pair of signal cables is
recommended. Twisted pair (best if shielded) must be used with RS-485 serial
transmission connections.
–In the case of measurement or control signals are longer than 30m or go outside of the
building then additional safety circuits are required.
–In the case of interference from the power supply side the use of appropriate 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 earth with the largest possible surface. The cables connected to the filter output must
not be run with cables with interference (e.g. circuits controlling relays or contactors).
Connection of the power supply, and the measurement and controlling signals should be
made by screw connectors mounted inside the housing.

Contacts of relay outputs are not equipped with spark suppressors. While use
the relay outputs for switching of inductive loads (coils, contactors, power
relays, electromagnets, motors etc.) it is required to use additional
suppression circuit (typically capacitor 47nF/ min. 250VAC in series with
100R/5W resistor), connected in parallel to relay terminals or (better) directly

6. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
After turning the power supply on, device ID and software version are showed on the
display, next the controller goes to the measurement mode.
6.1. MEASUREMENT MODE
In the measure mode, the measurement results, converted over selected characteristic,
are displayed on the LED display. The measurement range equal to the nominal range is
called: nominal measurement range, and the measurement range equal to the extended
nominal range is called: permissible measurement range (Figure .1, .2).
Figur 6.1. D finitions of m asur m nt rang s in mod 4 ÷ 20mA
If the result of measurement exceeds the permissible measurement range, warning ”-Hi-” or
”-Lo-” is displayed rather than input signal, depends on exceeded value (see description of
“Lo r” i “Hi r” parameters, paragraph ”inPt” menu).

User manual - METER SRP-N118
If the measurement value do not exceeds permissible measurement range but
displayed value exceeds range -999 ÷ 9999, the warning ”-Ov-” is displayed rather
than the calculated result.
In the measurement mode user can check main thresholds values. After pressing [^] or
[v] button, name of the threshold (e.g. ”rEL1”) and his value will be displayed on the display
in alternating mode. If [^] or [v] will be pressed in 5 sec again, the next threshold will be
displayed, else the device comes back to the measurement mode. If a free access is enabled
(see description of ”SECu” menu), user can change the value of particular threshold pressing
button [ENTER] (see: PARAMETERS EDITION).
Input type, range of displaying values, characteristic of conversion, decimal point position
and measure filtering ratio, are user configurable parameters. All accessible parameters can
be changed by entering the menu (see: DEVICE PROGRAMMING). Use the local keyboard or
the remote controller to do it. (Note: all parameters can be remote changed via RS-485
interface).
Configuration of the device (via menu or RS-485 interface) do not stops measures.
6.2. DETECTION OF THE PEAK VALUES
The RP-N118 controller is equipped with peaks detection function. It can detect a peaks
of the input signal and display their values. Presets connected with this function are placed in
”HOLd” menu (see description of ”HOLd” menu). The detection of the peak can be done if
the measured signal raises and drops of value at least equal to parameter ”PEA”. Detected
peaks are displayed during the time defined by parameter ”timE”. If a new peak will be
detected while one is displayed, this new peak will be displayed and display time counter will
be cleared (Figure .3). If no peaks are detected while time ”timE” elapses, device starts to
show the current value of input signal again. If „Hdi ”=”HOLD” then setting parameter
"timE"=0.0 causes holding peak value until [E C] button is pressed. If „Hdi ”=”rEAL” then
value "timE"=0.0 means no holding. Displaying peak value is signalized by flashing most right
decimal point.
The relays/LEDs can be controlled depend on the current value of input signal or the
peak value (see ”HOLd” menu).

6.3. CONTROL OF THE RELAY OUTPUTS
The control of the object (measured signal) is realized via relay outputs. Front panel LEDs
named „R” indicates the state of particular relay output.
If device is not equipped with one or more relay outputs, menus refer to this relays
are available, but apply to LED indicators only. In such case LEDs indicates
exceeding of particular thresholds.
Modes of the control can be changed depend on the values of parameters “ EtP”, “ Et2”,
“HY t”, “modE”, “t on”, “toFF”, “unit” and “AL”. Depend on “modE” parameter, relays
can be not used or controlled over one or two thresholds values.
If one threshold is used (Figure .4) the relay can be turned on (“modE” = ”on”) or off
(“modE” = ”oFF”) when the input signal value is contained in zone A. If two thresholds are
used (Figure .5) the relay will be turned on when value of input signal is contained in zone A
(“modE” = ”in”) or zone B (“modE” = ”out”) and turned off if the signal is contained in the
second one.

6.3.1. One threshold mode
Figure . presents the principle of relay outputs operation for one threshold mode, and
an example values of other parameters.
Description:
A, B, C, D - points where measured signal exceeds border values (expected value ± allowed deviation)
BON ,BOFF ,DON ,DOFF - relays state changes moments: (for “t on” > 0, “toFF” > 0)
tA , tB , tC , tD- time periods while input signal is in zone A or zone B
Figur 6.6. Principl of LED/r lay output op ration for on thr shold mod
Parameter “ EtP” sets a threshold of the relay, and parameter “HY t” sets a
hysteresis of the relay (Figure . a). The relay can change his state only when input value
exceeds (over or under) border value and tA ,tB ,tC ,tD times (Figure . ) are bigger than the
time defined by parameters “t on”, “toFF” and “unit”. Border values means values equal
threshold+hysteresis and threshold-hysteresis respectively.
If “t on” and “toFF” parameters are set to “0”, then the relay state will be changed
as soon as input value exceeds any of the border values (see points A and C, Figure . a,
b, c).
If values of “t on” or/and “toFF” are positive, then relay state will be turned on if the
input value exceeds the border values and stay bigger (or lower) during at least
“t on” (see points BON, DON, Figure . a, d, e). Similarly, the relay will be turned off if time
“toFF” elapse since the input signal value exceeds any of the border values (see points BOFF,
DOFF, Figure . a, d, e).
If tA ,tB ,tC or tD (when input signal stay in zone A or zone B) are lower than parameters “t on”
or “toFF”, the relay will not change his state (see points A and C, Figure . a, d, e).

The state of relay output while the input value exceeds the border values (points A, B, C,
D) is described by parameter “modE”. The relay can be turned on (“modE” = ”on”), or turned
off (“modE” = ”oFF”) when input signal value is contained in zone A (Figure . a).
The parameter “AL” allow user to set the relay output behaviour in critical situations (e.
g. Input values exceeds permissible measurement range). User can select that the relays
will be turned on, turned off,or not changed in critical situations.
All parameters connected with relay outputs are described in paragraph ”rEL1” menu.

“HY t”, “modE”, “t on”, “toFF”, “unit” and “AL” are connected with both “ EtP” and
“ Et2” thresholds. While the controlling process, the relay output changes his state depends
of both “ EtP” and “ Et2” thresholds in similar way as it was described in one threshold
mode.
If two threshold mode is used, “modE” parameter defines state of the relay output when
the input value occurs in a particular zone defined by border values of both thresholds. The
relay can be turned on if the input value is contained in zone A (“modE” = ”in”) or zone B
(“modE” = ”out”) and turned off if it is contained in the second one (Figure .7).
The sequence of thresholds “ EtP” and “ Et2” can be set in any order, due to the
control of relay outputs is done depend on difference between thresholds values
(zone A ) and outside of threshold values (zone B).
7. DEVICE PROGRAMMING
The device menu allow user to set all parameters connected to operation of
measurement input, control modes, critical situations behaviour, communication via RS-485
and access settings. The meaning of the particular parameters is described in paragraph
MENU DESCRIPTION.
Some of the parameters can be accessed without menu entering (quick view mode). After
pressing [^] or [v] button, name of the threshold (e.g.”rEL1”) and his value will be displayed
on the display in alternating mode. If [^] or [v] will be pressed in 5 sec again, the next
threshold will be displayed, else the device comes back to the measurement mode. If a free
access is enabled (see description of ”SECu” menu), user can change the value of particular
threshold pressing button [ENTER] (see: PARAMETERS EDITION).
If particular parameter has been changed and confirmed in quick view mode, its new
value is displayed in alternating mode with parameter name by few seconds.
Confirmed changes may be checked or user can switch viewed parameter pressing
[^] or [v] button.
7.1. PROGRAMMING MENU
To enter main menu (being in the measurement mode) operator must to press and hold
at least 2 sec. [E C/MENU] button.
If the user password is defined (see parameter “ cod“, menu ”SECU”), operator have
to enter correct one before proceeding to menu options . Entering of the passwords is similar
to the edition of numeric parameters (see: PARAMETERS EDITION ), however presently editing
digit is showed only on the display, other digits are replaced by “-” sign.
After entering of last digit of the password first menu position will be displayed (if the password
is correct) or warning ”Err” in other case.
Pay attention when device parameters are being changed. If it is possible, turn off
controlled installation (machine).
