External Control Lines
16-1
EXTERNAL CONTROL LINES
P2, the 20-pin connector at the rear of the main board, connects to the
setpoint transistor collectors and permits remote control of significant meter
features.
The meter case label gives the names (abbreviated functions) of each of the
twenty pins of P2, the center-bottom connector. Refer to Figure 16-1.
Figure 16-1. Connector Label Detail
16.1 TARE (PIN 1)
Tare is available when P2-1 and P2-4 are connected to a momentary contact
switch. This feature allows you to automatically zero your meter when the
switch is activated.
16.2 PEAK (PIN 2)
When this is connected to P2-4 by an external switch, the meter displays the
stored PEAK (“HI RDG”) value rather than the current reading. The display
flashes to distinguish this value.
16.3 VALLEY (PIN 3)
When this is connected to P2-4 by an external switch, the meter displays the
stored valley (“LO RDG”) value rather than the current reading. The display
flashes to distinguish this value.
16.4 SWLIN2 (PIN 4)
Completes the circuit for any of the above three signals.
16.5 PEAK & VALLEY OR EXTERNAL RESET (PIN 5)
Connecting this to ground (P2-7) when “RDG.7=0” has been programmed
causes a “HARD” RESET (when you see “RESET2” on the display). If you
set “RDG.7=1”, grounding causes only a PEAK/VALLEY RESET.
