Each alarm has a Warning Light in the front panel that shows when it was activated. ALARM FUNCTIONS The alarms can be set to operate in seven different modes. These modes are shown in Table 2 and described below. The alarm can also be set as disabled. OPEN SENSOR IERR The alarm is triggered whenever the sensor breaks or is badly connected or broken. LOW ALARM LO Triggered whenever the measured value is below the alarm Setpoint. HIGH ALARM KI Triggered whenever the measured value is above the alarm Setpoint. DIFFERENTIAL LOW DIF.LO Triggered whenever the measured value is below the point set by: (ALrEF - Deviation) DIFFERENTIAL HIGH - DIF.KI Triggered whenever the measured value is above the point set by: (ALrEF + Deviation) DIFFERENTIAL (OR BAND) OUT OF RANGE - DIF.OU For Differential alarm, it is necessary to define two parameters: Differential alarm reference value (ALrEF) and Alarm differential Setpoint (Deviation). The Differential out of range alarm occurs when the measured value is outside the range defined by: (ALrEF - Deviation) and (ALrEF + Deviation) DIFFERENTIAL (OR BAND) WITHIN RANGE - DIF.IN Same as previous but acting within the range defined above. TYPE PROMPT ACTION Disabled Open sensor (input Error) High alarm (Low) Off ierr Lo High alarm Ki (High) Differential low Dif.lo (Differential Low) Differential high Dif.ki (Differential High) Differential out of range (Differential Output) Differential within range (Differential Input) Dif.OU Dif.IN Alarm disabled.

PV Alarm SP Alarm SP ALreF - Deviation ALreF PV PV PV ALrEF ALrEF + Deviation PV ALrEF - Deviation ALrEF ALrEF + Deviation PV ALrEF - Deviation ALrEF ALrEF + Deviation Table 2 Alarm basic functions NOVUS AUTOMATION N1500LC Digital Panel Meter ALARM TIMER N1500LC allows programming of the Time Setting of Alarms, being able to set delays in alarm condition; send a single pulse at the time of trigger; or allow the generation of sequential pulses. Table 3 shows these advanced functions. Times T1 and T2 can be programmed from 0 to 6500 seconds and are defined when setting up the device. For alarms with no time delays, set T1 and T2 with value 0 (zero). The warning LEDs associated with the alarm always light up when the alarm condition occurs, regardless of the status of the output relay, which may be de-energized momentarily due to a time delay. ADVANCED FUNCTION Normal Operation Delayed T1 T2 ACTION 0 0 Alarm Output Alarm Event 0 1 to 6500 s Alarm Output T2 Alarm Event Pulse 1 to 6500 0 s Alarm Output T1 Alarm Event Oscillator 1 to 6500 1 to 6500 s Alarm Output T1 T2 T1 s Alarm Event Table 3 Timer alarm functions INITIAL BLOCK ALARM The Initial Blocking option inhibits the alarm from being recognized if an alarm condition is present when the controller is first energized. The alarm will be triggered only after the occurrence of a non-alarm condition followed by a new occurrence for the alarm. The initial blocking is disabled for the Open Sensor alarm function. SPECIAL FUNCTIONS SPECIAL FUNCTION KEY AND DIGITAL INPUT The key (special function key) as well as the Digital Input may be assigned different functions that will be chosen during the setup. The possible functions are: ZERO ZERO FUNCTION Available only for the key. It resets the scale. This function is used to eliminate the influence of interference or small deviations in the zero of a scale. Reset is only accomplished if the value shown in the scale is within 2 % of the end of scale. Zero is not lost if the scale is turned off. Note: This function can be performed automatically using the parameters En A.z and A.Z.rAn. LO DISPLAYS MINIMUM Set the key to, at the first touch, displays the minimum (Low) value the digital panel meter measured since the last reset. On the second touch, to show the maximum (High) measured by the digital panel meter since the last reset. On the third touch, the device returns to normal display. Press the button for more than 5 seconds to reset. This way, the minimum and maximum values will be erased, starting a new cycle. XI DISPLAYS MAXIMUM Displays the maximum (High) value the digital panel meter measured since the last reset. 2/8 PKOLD MAXIMUM VALUE The digital panel meter will automatically work in the Peak Hold mode whenever the key or the digital input are programmed as PkoLd. This operation mode makes that the digital panel meter always shows the maximum value measured, since the last time the key or the Digital Input were pressed. Each activation of the key or digital input triggers a new Peak Hold cycle, resetting the reading of the display to the current value of the measure. RST - CLEARS MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM If configured with rSt, each activation of the key or digital input clear the memory for a new cycle of maximum and minimum values. KOLD FREEZE MEASURED VALUE The Hold function freezes the measured value showed in the display. Each time the key or the Digital Input is selected, there is a change from Hold to normal mode. Whenever the digital panel meter is in the Hold mode, the message koLd will be displayed so that the operator will be aware that the value displayed is the frozen value and not the current reading. TARE TARE FUNCTION It is available only in the digital input configuration or through the key. It changes indication to zero (0000.0), regardless of the value applied to the input. It is used to eliminate indications of defined values. To eliminate the tare, you must press the key. AND KEYS The same Tare function available for the Digital Input can be quickly applied by using the key, which does not need to be set up. The key is used to eliminate the tare applied. The digital panel meter accepts successive tares, provided that the input signal (gross weight) does not exceed the end of scale. PROCESS VARIABLE RETRANSMISSION As an option, the digital panel meter can be supplied with an isolated 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA analog output for Process Variable (PV) retransmission. Available at terminals 29 and 30 of the rear panel of the device. When this option is available, the retransmission is always enabled and does not require any intervention. The PV values that define the scale of the 0 mA / 4 mA to 20 mA retransmission can be programmed in the high and low output limits (0v.lol and 0v.kol) at the Configuration Cycle. These limits can be defined freely, and you can make a retransmission with increasing or decreasing behavior toward to the indicated value. For a voltage output signal, an external shunt (calibrated resistor) should be installed at the analog output terminals. LOAD CELL POWER SUPPLY (AUXILIARY P. S.) The digital panel meter provides a voltage power supply of 10 Vdc to excite field transmitters with 50 mA current capacity. Available at the back panel terminals 16 and 17. CUSTOMIZED LINEARIZATION The digital panel meter has five types of input for non-linear signals: c.4-20, c.0-20, c.50, c.-20 and c.20 For using these signals, is necessary to adopt the Custom Linearization option. This feature combines the input signal to 30 user-defined line segments; setting two points for each segment, a NOVUS AUTOMATION N1500LC Digital Panel Meter start and end and the respective display values. Thus, the indication will have a non-linear behavior set by the input signal. The following figure shows an input signal associated with four-line segments (a, b, c, and d), causing that the resulting indication can be approximated to the ideal value (characteristic curve). The resulting indication is as best as the best straight segments are chosen. Figure 2 Custom linearization for a nonlinear signal Note: The non-linear input signal shall have increasing pattern. CONFIGURATION PROTECTION As a safety measure, parameter changes can be prevented through a key combination performed at each level. With this protection, the parameters are still displayed but cannot be changed. To protect any level, just go to the level and press the and keys simultaneously for 3 seconds. To unlock the level, press the and keys for 3 seconds. The display will flash briefly to confirm locking or unlocking level. Inside the controller, the PROT key complements the protection function. In the OFF position, you can do and undo the protection of cycles. In the ON position, you cannot make changes. If there are protections cycles, these cannot be removed; if there is not, they cannot be promoted. INSTALLATION The digital panel meter is designed to be panel mounted. Remove the two plastic fixing clamps from the instrument, insert the device into the panel cut-out and slide firmly the fixing clamps from the rear against the panel. INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS · The wires of the input signals must be installed separated from the output wires and power. If possible, in grounded conduits. · The power supply for the instruments must be provided from an exclusive power source. · In controlling and monitoring applications, possible consequences of any system failure must be considered in advance. The internal alarm relay does not warrant total protection. · Use of RC FILTERS (47 R and 100 nF, serial) are highly recommended when driving solenoids, contactor coils or other inductive loads. 3/8 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The whole inner part can be removed without the need to make any disconnection. Figure 3 shows the connection arrangement at the rear panel of the digital panel meter: Figure 3 Back panel terminals POWER CONNECTION First check if the voltage required by the digital panel meter is compatible with the voltage of instrument power supply. Provide adequate protection devices. Figure 4 Power Connection INPUT SIGNAL CONNECTION It is important that they are very well connected, the sensor wires must be well fixed in the terminals of the rear panel. Figure 5 Voltage connection Figure 6 Current connection LOAD CELL CONNECTION USING THE POWER SUPPLY Figure 7 Load cell DIGITAL INPUT (DIG IN) To use the Digital Input, a switch must be connected to respective terminals (dry contact), as shown in Figure 8: Figure 8 Using the digital input NOVUS AUTOMATION N1500LC Digital Panel Meter ANALOG OUTPUT (4-20 MA OUTPUT) The analog output may be 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA, selected in the configuration. The output is available at terminals 29 and 30, as requested in the purchase order. OPERATION For best results, this digital panel meter requires correct basic setting of parameters or a definition for parameters displayed. It is necessary to define, for example: Input type (0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, etc.), range display, alarm set point, alarm function etc. To make configuration easier, the parameters are divided in five cycles (or groups): CYCLE 1 - Work 2 - Alarms 3 - Special functions 4 - Input setting 5 - Customized linearization 6 - Calibration 7 - Automatic calibration Table 4 ACCESS Free access Reserved access Parameters cycles The work cycle has free access. All other cycles require a certain combination of keystrokes to be accessed. The combination is: and keys pressed simultaneously Once within a cycle, just press to move to the subsequent parameters of this cycle. At the end of each cycle the display will go back to the work cycle. At the desired parameter, just press the buttons or to promote the desired changes. These changes are saved into protected memory and given as valid when we move to the next parameter. After 25 seconds with no key pressed the digital panel meter will return to the Measurement screen at work cycle. Note: It is recommended to disable/suspend the control whenever it is necessary to change the device settings. PROGRAMMING THE DIGITAL PANEL METER WORK CYCLE This is the first cycle. At power up, the digital panel meter will display the Process Variable (PV). The alarm triggering points are also displayed at this cycle (alarm Setpoints).
