A sheet of labels covering the most commonly used engineering units is supplied with all units. If the unit you require is not on the sheet, a blank label is provided on which you can use LETRASETTM. Install the instrument into a panel. Make connections to the instrument. PLEASE NOTE: · Ensure that the power to the instrument is switched off before carrying out any installation or maintenance work. · It is recommended that all connections to the terminals are made using ferrules to afford greater reliability and to prevent short circuits between adjacent terminals. · Avoid installing the instrument close to switch gear, contactors or motor starters. · Do not place signal and power supply wiring in the same loom. · Use screened cables or wires for all signal/sensor leads with screen earthed at one point only. Panel Mounting The instrument is supplied with an installation kit consisting of a mounting clamp, a panel sealing gasket and terminal connectors. Ensure that there is sufficient space behind the instrument panel - the instrument requires a depth of 100mm (110mm when any options are fitted) plus enough space to allow safe routing of cables. To install the instrument: 1. Make panel cut-out with the dimensions as shown overleaf. Panel thickness from 1.5mm to 9.5mm can be accommodated. 20-5110 Issue B 3 Sentry Digital Panel Indicator Setup Guide 2. Fit the rubber seal by slipping it over the unit from the rear of the box and pushing it forwards until it sits behind the front lip of the unit. Insert the instrument into the panel from the front, pushing it through as far as the front lip, to ensure correct seating of the rubber seal between the panel and the unit. Working from behind the panel, take the mounting clamp, slide over the rear of the instrument and push forwards. Continue to push the clip forward until the ratchet operates and the clamp is sufficiently compressed to apply adequate pressure on the panel. 3. 4. 5. 4 20-5110 Issue B Sentry Digital Panel Indicator Setup Guide Connections The diagram below shows the rear panel terminal connection arrangement.

There are 12 ranges for temperature measurement available. When a thermosensor range is selected, ie. J, K, t, r, S, n or RTD, the instrument will automatically set the appropriate scaling in oC. Engineering Units Default: Eng unit Allows the user to define the units of measurement to be displayed o o in C, F and Eng (linear engineering units). Default: 1 dP Defines the position of the decimal point for the display; 0 or 1 for thermocouples/RTD and 0 to 3 for process inputs. Decimal Position High and Low Display Values Default: Low = 000.0, high = 100.0 HdSP LdSP The low display value LdSP is used for scaling purposes when combined with the other scaling parameters L-iP, HdSP, and H-iP. These 4 parameters can scale the measured input to any engineering units as long as the relationship between the displayed units is linear. LdSP is used to define the value to be displayed for an input defined by L-iP. HdSP is used to define the value to be displayed for an input defined by H-iP. High and Low Input Values H-iP L-iP Correspond to the signal output values from the sensor which will cause the instrument to display the values set as LdSP and HdSP. L-iP and H-iP can be input in mV, V, mA etc. VAL rEAd There are 2 methods of setting the low and high input values, either by manually entering a signal value using the VAL option or by sampling the sensor output using the rEAd option. Values entered manually are entered in the same way as other numeric values (see Editing a Value page 11). The value to be entered will usually be supplied with the data accompanying your sensor. However, if it is not available, the output from the sensor may be rEAd from an external 14 20-5110 Issue B Sentry Digital Panel Indicator Setup Guide source by the instrument. When performing a rEAd input as part of the scaling process, the sensor must have the corresponding physical value applied. This may be pressure, weight, temperature etc. The instrument will sample the output from the sensor and save this as the L-ip and H-iP scaling parameters. A example of scaling: 0 - 100 mV = 0 -1000 (psi) LdSP = 0 L-iP = 0 (mV) HdSP = 1000 H-ip = 100.0 (mV) Display Filtering Default: 000 Filt This parameter is used to apply a digital filter to the display value. The filter is defined in seconds which approximate to the time constant. This parameter would be used to damp out any eff ...
