INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The Programmable Thermocouple Meter is a value packed indicator/ controller.
Four full digits allow for an accurate display of your temperature. Your
meter may be a basic indicator or it may include analog output or dual
relay output. Analog output is fully scalable and may be configured as
a proportional controller, or to follow your display. Dual 5 amp, form
C relays control critical processes. Front panel peak detection and memory
is also standard. A mechanical lockout has been included to guard against
unauthorized changes.

labels:
NOTE
WARNING
CAUTION
IMPORTANT
NOTE: provides you with information that is important to successfully
setup and use the Programmable Digital Meter.
CAUTION or WARNING: tells you about the risk of electric shock.
CAUTION, WARNING or IMPORTANT: tells you of circumstances or practices
that can effect the meter's functionality and must refer to accompanying
documents.
UNPACKING
Remove the Packing
List and verify that all equipment has been received. If there are any
questions about the shipment, use the phone numbers listed on the back
cover to contact the Customer Service Department nearest you.
Upon receipt of shipment, inspect the container and equipment for any
signs of damage. Take particular note of any evidence of rough handling
in transit. Immediately report any damage to the shipping agent.
The carrier
will not honor any claims unless all shipping material is saved for their
examination. After examining and removing contents, save packing material
and carton in the event reshipment is necessary.
Verify that you

SAFETY
CONSIDERATIONS
This device is marked
with the international Caution symbol. It is important to read this manual
before installing or commissioning this device as it contains important
information relating to Safety and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility).
Unpacking & Inspection
Unpack the instrument
and inspect for obvious shipping damage. Do not attempt to operate the
unit if damage is found.
This instrument is a panel mount device protected in accordance with Class
I of EN 61010 (115/230 AC power connections). Installation of this instrument
should be done by Qualified personnel. In order to ensure safe operation,
the following instructions should be followed.
This instrument has no power-on switch. An external switch or circuit-breaker
shall be included in the building installation as a disconnecting device.
It shall be marked to indicate this function, and it shall be in close
proximity to the equipment within easy reach of the operator. The switch
or circuit-breaker shall not interrupt the Protective Conductor (Earth
wire), and it shall meet the relevant requirements of IEC 947û1 and IEC
947-3 (International Electrotechnical Commission). The switch shall not
be incorporated in the mains supply cord.
Furthermore, to provide protection against excessive energy being drawn
from the mains supply in case of a fault in the equipment, an overcurrent
protection device shall be installed.
The Protective Conductor must be connected for safety reasons. Check that
the power cable has the proper Earth wire, and it is properly connected.
It is not safe to operate this unit without the Protective Conductor Terminal
connected.
NOTE
Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the top of the
instrument housing.
Always disconnect power before changing signal and power connections.
Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its case for safety
reasons.
Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive atmospheres.
Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.
EMC Considerations
- Whenever
EMC is an issue,
always use shielded
cables.
- Never
run signal and
power wires in
the same conduit.
- Use
signal wire connections
with twisted-pair
cables.
- Install
Ferrite Bead(s)
on signal wires
close to the instrument
if EMC problems
persist.
