CONCISE PRODUCT MANUAL (59333-2)
 
 
CAUTION: Installation should be only performed by 
technically competent personnel. Local Regulations 
regarding electrical installation & safety must be observed. 
 
1.  INSTALLATION 
The models covered by this manual have three different DIN case sizes (refer to 
section 9). Some installation details vary between models. These differences have 
been clearly shown. 
Note: The functions described in sections 2 thru 8 are common to all models.

To access module A, first detach the PSU and CPU boards from the front by lifting 
first the upper, and then lower mounting struts. Gently separate the boards. 
a.  Plug the required option modules into the correct connectors, as shown below.
b.  Locate the module tongues in the corresponding slot on the opposite board. 
c.  Hold the main boards together while relocating back on the mounting struts. 
d.  Replace the instrument by aligning the CPU and PSU boards with their guides
  in the housing, then slowly push the instrument back into position. 
Note: Option modules are automatically detected at power up.

Panel-Mounting 
The mounting panel must be rigid, and may be up to 
6.0mm (0.25inch) thick. Cut-out sizes are: 
          Cut-Out Dim A        Cut-Out Dim B

Slide mounting clamp 
over the instrument 
housing towards rear face 
of mounting panel until 
the tongues engage in 
ratchets
clamped in position. 
 
 
Hold instrument firmly in 
position (apply pressure 
to bezel only) 
 
CAUTION: Do not remove the panel gasket; it is a seal against dust and 
moisture.

These diagrams show all possible option combinations. The actual 
connections required depends on the exact model and options fitted. 
 
CAUTION: Check information label on housing for correct operating 
voltage before connecting supply to Power Input 
Fuse:  100 – 240V ac – 1amp anti-surge 
           24/48V ac/dc – 315mA anti-surge 
 
Note: At first power-up the message 
 
 is displayed, as described in 
section 6 of this manual. Access to other menus is denied until configuration 
mode is completed 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
2.  SELECT MODE 
Select mode is used to access the configuration and operation menu functions. 
It can be accessed at any time by holding down        and pressing       . 
In select mode, press        or        to choose the required mode, press        to enter. 
An unlock code is required to prevent unauthorised entry to Configuration, & Setup 
modes. Press        or        to enter the unlock code, then press        to proceed.

3.  CONFIGURATION MODE 
First select Configuration mode from Select mode (refer to section 2). 
Press       to scroll through the parameters, then press        or      to set the required 
value. Press         to accept the change, otherwise parameter will revert to previous 
value. To exit from Configuration mode, hold down        and press       , to return to 
Select mode. 
Note: Parameters displayed depends on how instrument has been configured.  
Refer to user guide (available from your supplier) for further details. 
Parameters marked * are repeated in Setup Mode.

Notes: Output 1 is always a Latching Limit Relay output.  
If Option Slot A has the Digital Input module fitted, this always functions as a 
Remote Reset, duplicating the function of the Reset) key      .
 
 
As these functions cannot be changed, no Configuration menus are required. 
 
 
CAUTION: Process Variable Offset can be used to modify the 
measured value to compensate for probe errors. Positive values 
increase the reading, negative values are subtracted. This parameter 
is effectively, a calibration adjustment and MUST be used with care. 
There is no front panel indication of when this parameter is in use.
