Product Information

The Rinstrum R423/R427 Stainless Steel Indicators are part of the R400 series, which is designed to cater to the needs of both installers and operators across a wide range of applications. These indicators are built with reliability in mind and are engineered to last. The modular design allows for easy installation with only the necessary components, saving time and money. The R423 is a Panel Mount indicator, while the R427 is a Full Housing indicator.

Features:

  • AC and DC options
  • LCD with 4 alpha-numeric displays and LED backlighting
  • OIML, NMI, and NTEP trade approved
  • Built-in RS232/RS485
  • IP66-rated Stainless Steel housing
  • Ethernet support
  • Robust precise analogue output module
  • Versatile application software
  • Magnetically coupled rinLINK for easy connection to a PC
  • Superior diagnostics and support
  • User-defined function keys
  • Numeric keypad

Primary Display: R423
The R423 indicator offers superior diagnostics and support. It provides a range of diagnostic tools and features, including a hardware configuration report that summarizes the setup of the indicator for maintenance purposes or fault finding. The indicator also has Force Output and Test Input functions, which allow the installer to specifically test I/O for site setup. Additionally, the R423 allows for module swapping without recalibration of the indicator.

View400: Fast Efficient Indicator Setup via a PC
View400 is a software tool that displays the complete menu structure of the indicator on a PC. It offers convenient drop-down menus for easy setting selection. With View400, users can enter custom print strings, set up the indicator, save configurations and calibrations for maintenance purposes, or load the RIS file onto multiple indicators. The software also enables the creation of real-time graphs from logs, which are ideal for diagnostics.

Save400: Reading and Writing Indicator Setup
Save400 is a software tool that allows for reading and writing of R400 indicator setup and configuration. It enables exporting setups for updates and reimporting them later.

Lua Programmability
The Rinstrum R423/R427 indicators support embedded Lua scripting with an accessory module. This enhances functionality by allowing the installation of a range of application packages. The indicators also come with an open-source library and comprehensive API, enabling users to write their own applications or engage Rinstrum to write them through the Lua MAX program. Additionally, the indicators feature an embedded web server for creating browser-based user interfaces.

R427: Rugged Load Cell Input
The R427 indicator is designed to take 16×350 ohm load cells at 0.25uV/D. This provides flexibility and reduces the need for summing hardware, simplifying installation and saving money. The load cell input is protected with onboard transorbs to limit damage from external voltage surges.

rinLINK: Temporary Connection to a PC
The rinLINK provides an isolated optical serial connection directly on the front of the indicator. It is magnetically coupled, allowing for easy access in situ for updates and setup of the indicator. This feature saves time and effort for installers. The rinLINK can be used to download new firmware or establish a connection to a PC running Viewer for indicator configuration.

Accessory Modules:

  • RS232/RS232 Module
  • RS232/RS485 Module
  • RS485/RS485 Module
  • AC Module
  • Lua Module
  • I/O Module
  • Button Module
  • Analogue Output Module

Product Usage Instructions

To use the Rinstrum R423/R427 Stainless Steel Indicators, follow these steps:

  1. Identify the type of indicator you have – R423 (Panel Mount) or R427 (Full Housing).
  2. Ensure you have the necessary power supply module – AC power or DC power, depending on your requirements.
  3. If using load cells, connect them to the rugged load cell input of the R427 indicator. This input is designed to take 16×350 ohm load cells at 0.25uV/D.
  4. If required, install any accessory modules, such as RS232/RS232, RS232/RS485, RS485/RS485, AC, Lua, I/O, Button, or Analogue Output modules.
  5. If you need to establish a temporary connection to a PC, use the rinLINK feature located on the front of the indicator. This feature provides an isolated optical serial connection and can be magnetically coupled for easy access.
  6. If you prefer to set up the indicator via a PC, install the View400 software. This software allows for fast and efficient indicator setup by displaying the complete menu structure on your PC. Use convenient drop-down menus for setting selection, enter custom print strings, and save configurations and calibrations for maintenance purposes.
  7. If you need to read and write indicator setups, use the Save400 software. This tool enables reading and writing of R400 indicator setup and configuration, allowing for easy export and import of setups for updates.
  8. If you want to enhance the functionality of the indicators through scripting, install the Lua module. This module supports embedded Lua scripting, open-source libraries, and a comprehensive API for writing your own applications or engaging Rinstrum for custom applications through the Lua MAX program.
  9. For any additional assistance or support, refer to the user manual or contact Rinstrum for superior diagnostics and support.
