5.4. Information on Each Parameter
5.4.1Method of Setting Condition Data
This section shows a typical example of setting the peak hold parameter.
The same method applies to other parameters.
5.4.2 Method of Setting Comparator Data
This section explains comparator data and shows a typical example of setting
the HI side judgment value. The same method applies to all other parameters.
Note: The setup conditions are HI side judgment value > LO side judgment
value, HI side judgment value ³ LO side judgment value + LO side
hysteresis, and LO side judgment value £ HI side judgment value-HI
side hysteresis. If these conditions are not satisfied, an error indication
appears and the display returns to the HI side judgment value setup.
5.4.3 Method of Setting Scaling Data
This section explains comparator data and shows a typical example of setting
the full scale indication parameter. The same method applies to all other
parameters.
Note: For the Digital limiter, values larger than the DLHI setpoint are not
indicated even if signals greater that the value set in the DLHI
parameter are input (for DLLO parameter, values smaller than the
DLLO setpoint are not indicated).

Note: For the process signal measuring unit, set the full scale input value to
5.000 for the 1 V range and to 20.00 for the 2 A range, and set the offset
input value to 1.000 for the 1 V range and to 4.00 for the 2 A range.
The following explains the frequency measuring unit. (The same method applies
to the full scale indication parameter.)
Note: For the frequency measuring unit, set the relationship between the input
and indication using the PS and PPR parameters (parameters of FSC, FIN,
OFS, and OIN are not indicated).
The following explains the scaling of analog output (The same method applies
to the full scale indication parameter.)
Note1: For analog output scaling, set the indication value for an output current
of 20 mA in the AOHI parameter and set the indication value for an
output current of 4 mA in the AOLO parameter (for 4-20 mA output).
Note2: The analog signal out of the setting range cannot be accurately
output.
5.4.4 Method of Setting Calibration Data
5.4.4.1 Actual Load Calibration
Actual load calibration means that calibration is carried out by applying
actually measured pressure to a sensor such as a load cell connected to the
meter.
5.4.4.2 Equivalent Calibration
Equivalent calibration means that calibration is carried out according to the
ratings (specifications) of such a sensor as a load cell. It is not necessary to
connect the sensor or to apply pressure to the sensor.

Determining the revolution speed (rpm) using the rotary encoder set to 30 pulses per minute:
(1)Determine the measurement range by calculating the maximum frequency.
The figure below shows an example where the revolution rises to a maximum speed of
about 100 rpm.

(3)The display unit shows 500 if 50 Hz pulse input is measured under range 11 (when PS=1
and PPR=1 by default). Therefore, the parameters should be set as PS=2 and PPR=1 so that
the decimal point is positioned in the 101digit(100.0 is is indicated 50 Hz input).
(2)Since the number of pulses determined in (1) is 50 per second (50 Hz), set the range to

5.4.5 Method of Setting Linearization Data
The linearization function means a function that changes the slope of straight
lines in the relationship between the input and indication by correcting the
relations at arbitrary points. Linearization data are set using the input value
(indicated value before correction) and the output value (indicated value after
correction) at each arbitrary point.
Note: The setup conditions are N-1 < N-2 … N-15 < N-16.
6.Control Functions
6.1 Hold Function
The Hold function temporarily retains the indication. The hold function is
enabled by shortcircuiting the HOLD and COM terminals or setting both
terminals to the same voltage level. As a result the display unit retains the
indication given at that moment.
6.2 Digital Zero Function
The Digital Zero function zeros the indication given at an arbitrary timing.
Thereafter, the function shows the amount of change from the point of zeroing.
However, this function serves as an indication resetting function for a frequency
measuring unit. Thus, the Digital Zero function can be used to reset the
indication when there is no input signal at all.
Note that, the on/off control of the Digital Zero function can be achieved by
means of terminal control or front panel keys. In the case of terminal control,
the Digital Zero function is turned on by shortcircuiting the DZ and COM
terminals or setting both terminals to the same voltage level. The indication at
that moment is zeroed. In the case of control with the front panel keys, hold
down the Mode key and press the Increment key for about 1 second to zero the
indication at that moment.
Note: Operation with the control terminals takes priority over operation with
the front panel keys. The Digital Zero function is disabled if the
control terminals are made to go through the off-on-off sequence with
the function enabled by means of the front panel keys.
6.3 Peak Hold Function
The Peak Hold function retains one of the maximum (peak hold)/minimum
(valley hold)/maximum - minimum (peak-valley hold) values and provides output
for that value. Selection from these values is made using the condition data.
The peak hold function is enabled by shortcircuiting the PH and COM terminals
or setting both terminals to the same voltage level.
7.Output Function
7.1 Comparison Output Function
The A5000 series of unit meters is designed so that the two judgment values HI
and LO can be set for the measured (indicated) value to provide the results of
judgment as relay contact output. (This function is effective when the meter is
equipped with a comparison output unit.) For details on the contact ratings and
other specifications, refer to the section “Output Specifications.”
7.2 Analog Output Function
The A5000 series of unit meters can output an analog signal for an indicated
value (when the meter is equipped with an analog output unit). There are four
output ranges, 0 to 1 V/0 to 10 V/1 to 5 V/4 to 20 mA, from which a selection can
be made using the condition data. In addition, the analog output of the A5000
series allows for arbitrary output scaling. This scaling can be achieved by
setting the indication value for an output of the maximum scale value (20 mA for
4–20 mA output range) in the AOHI parameter of the scaling data.
7.3 RS-485 Interface Function
The A5000 series can be equipped with an RS-485 interface (when the meter is
provided with an RS-485 unit). For details on the RS-485 function, see the
separate manual on communication functions.
7.4 RS-232C Interface Function
The A5000 series can be equipped with an RS-232C interface (when the meter is
provided with an RS-232C unit). For details on the RS-232C function, see the
separate manual on communication functions.
