Function Description

■ Display method: frequency
It measures input signal frequency when it is AC input.
In order to measure frequency normally, input signal, over 10 % F.S. of the rated input range, should be supplied.
Otherwise, it may not be measured normally.
The measurement range differs depending on the decimal point position.
It is available to adjust the high-limit display value gradient correction and exponent of INB at parameter setting.
• Accuracy of frequency measurement: below 1 kHz, F.S. ± 0.1 % rdg ± 2-digit, from 1 k to 10 kHz, F.S. ± 0.3 % rdg ± 2-digit

■ High-limit display value gradient correction
This function is to correct a gradient of High / Low-limit scale value.
And also can be used as correction function of high-limit scale value.
Adjustment range is setting value and multiply current gradient.
• E.g.: To display 3.000 when 200 mVDC for input range 0-1 VDC

FIG 31 High-limit display value gradient correction

■ High / Low-limit scale value

This function is to display setting of particular High / Low-limit value in order to display High / Low-limit value of measured input.
If measured inputs are a and b and particular values are A and B, it will display a = A, b = B as below graphs.
• When changing input range, it is changed automatically as factory default display range of the input range.

FIG 32 High Low-limit scale value

■ Zero adjustment
It adjusts the display value of the optional configured input value as zero by force.
Zero point error can be adjusted with 3 ways as below.

  1. Direct input correction value at Low-limit display value deviation correction parameter.
  2. Set the keys for zero adjustment parameter to YES and press the [◀] + [▲] keys for 3 sec in RUN mode.
  3. Set the external input terminal parameter to ZERO and short the Hold / Zero terminal for over 50 ms.

■ Error correction
It corrects display value error of measured input.
Display value = (Measured value × High-limit display value gradient correction)
+ Low-limit display value deviation correction
• E.g.: When the Input range 0 to 500 VDC   and the display range is 0 to 500.0
If the low-limit display value is 1.2 to 0 VDC input, set -12 as deviation correction value to display 0.0 by adjusting offset of the low-limit display value.
The display value to 500 VDC measured input varies by adjusting the offset of low-limit display value.

If this display value is 501.0, calculate 500.0 / 501.0 (desired display value / the display value), and set the 0.998 correction value as the High-limit display value gradient correction parameter to display 500.0 by adjusting gradient of high-limit value.

■ Startup compensation time
This time function limits the operation of an output until the measured input (overvoltage or inrush current) is stable at moment of power on. All outputs are OFF during startup compensation time setting after power is applied.

■ Display cycle
In some applications the measured input may fluctuate which in turn causes the display to fluctuate.
By adjusting the display cycle delay function time the operator can adjust the display time.

For example, if the operator sets the display cycle time to 4 sec, the display value displayed will be the average input value over 4 sec and also will show any changes if any every 4 sec.

■ Max. / Min. peak value
It monitors max./min. peak value of display value based on the current displays value and then displays the data at the parameters.
When pressing any one of front keys at the parameters, the monitored data is initialized. Set the delay time at peak monitoring delay time parameter in order to prevent malfunction caused by initial overcurrent or overvoltage, when monitoring the peak value.

■ Transmission (DC 4 – 20 mA) output scale adjustment
It sets transmission output for the display value at the output current DC 4 – 20 mA.
It sets display value for 4 mA at low-limit value of transmission output and 20 mA at high-limit value of transmission output.

  • The range between high-limit value of transmission output and low-limit value of transmission output should be 10 %.
    When min. set interval under 10 % F.S., it changed as over 10 % F.S. automatically.

  • Preset display value is fixed to output as 4 mA at under low-limit value of transmission output and 20 mA at over high-limit value of transmission output.
