Display description

Initial commissioning

6.1 Connecting the transmitter
First mount the connection terminal to a designated DIN rail or screw it to a designated surface.
First connect the mains voltage. To do this, use connection 5 and 6 on the connection terminal.
Ensure that the connection cable is initially voltage-free.
Then connect the transmitter to the connection terminal.
Finally, connect the sensor to the transmitter.
Note: For the 24 V version of the transmitter (PCE-SLT-TRM-24V), ensure that the supply ground is galvanically isolated from the signal ground.

6.2 Connecting the display
First mount the display using the mounting bracket.
For the power supply, connect the mains cable to the T1 and T2 connections on the display connection terminal. Ensure that the mains supply cable is initially voltage-free.
Now connect the transmitter to the display. To do this, connect pin 7 to T15 (positive) and pin 8 to T16 (negative).

Set measurement ranges

First open the transmitter cover. Then remove the internal rubber seal.
The switches for setting the measurement range are now accessible. Use the table on the inside of the transmitter cover to set the measurement range. Then cover the switches again with the rubber seal and close the transmitter cover.

Calibration

Open the transmitter cover. Turn the potentiometer labelled “SPAN” to adjust the measured value.
To make changes to the potentiometer, use a small slotted screwdriver.

Alarm setting (control)

The display has two separate alarm relays. A distinction is made between control and alarm. The difference is that when the alarm switches, the display also flashes, which is not the case with the control.

To programme the limit values of the two functions, proceed as follows:
First press the “SET” key briefly. “CtLo” appears on the display to set the lower control value. You can now set this value directly using the arrow keys. Press the “SET” key to confirm this value and return directly to the menu.
To set other parameters, press the “SET” key continuously until you have reached your parameter. The menu is organised as follows.

CtLo → lower control value
CtHi → upper control value
ALLo → lower alarm value
ALHi → upper alarm value

Once you have set all the parameters, press the “SET” key again to exit the menu.

Advanced menu

To access the extended menu, press the “SET” key for two seconds.
This menu is organised as follows:

dPSt             Decimal point shift
4-A4             mA parameter
20-A20        mA parameter
FiLt              Filter function
CtHY            Hysteresis for the control function
ALHY           Hysteresis for the alarm function
oFSt              Offset
GAin             Gain setting
Unit               Set RS232 unit

10.1 Decimal point shift
To move the decimal point, first press the “SET” key for two seconds. “dPSt” appears on the display. Now press the arrow keys to access this configuration mode and to move the decimal point. Press the “SET” key to save the setting.

10.2 4 mA Parameter
To change the parameterisation for 4 mA, first press the “SET” key for two seconds. “dPSt” appears on the display. Press the “SET” key again. “4-A” now appears on the display. Now press the arrow keys to access this configuration mode and to change the parameterisation for 4 mA.
Press the “SET” key to save the setting.

10.3 20 mA parameter
To change the parameterisation for 20 mA, first press the “SET” key for two seconds. “dPSt” appears on the display. Now press the “SET” key twice. The display now shows “20-A”. Now press the arrow keys to access this configuration mode and to change the parameterisation for 20 mA. Press the “SET” key to save the setting.

10.4 Filter function
To change the parameterisation for the filter function, first press the “SET” key for two seconds. “dPSt” appears on the display. Now press the “SET” key three times. “FiLt” now appears on the display. Now press the arrow keys to access this configuration mode and to change the parameterisation for the filter function. The higher the value, the more filtering takes place. Press the “SET” key to save the setting.

10.5 Hysteresis for the control message
To change the parameterisation of the hysteresis for the control message, first press the “SET” key for two seconds. “dPSt” appears on the display. Now press the “SET” key four times. “CtHY” now appears on the display. Now press the arrow keys to access this configuration mode and to change the parameterisation for the hysteresis. Press the “SET” key to save the setting.

10.6 Hysteresis for the alarm function
To change the parameterisation of the hysteresis for the alarm function, first press the “SET” key for two seconds. “dPSt” appears on the display. Now press the “SET” key five times. “ALHY” now appears on the display. Now press the arrow keys to access this configuration mode and to change the parameterisation for the hysteresis. Press the “SET” key to save the setting.

10.7 Offset
To change the parameterisation for the offset, first press the “SET” key for two seconds. dPSt” appears on the display. Now press the “SET” button six times. The display now shows “oFSt”.
Now press the arrow keys to access this configuration mode and to change the parameterisation for the offset. Press the “SET” key to save the setting.

10.8 Gain setting
To change the parameterisation for the gain, first press the “SET” key for two seconds. “dPSt” appears on the display. Now press the “SET” key seven times. “GAin” now appears on the display.
Now press the arrow keys to access this configuration mode and to change the parameterisation for the gain. Press the “SET” key to save the setting.

10.9 Set RS232 unit
To change the unit for the RS232 interface, first press the “SET” key for two seconds. “dPSt” appears on the display. Now press the “SET” key eight times. The display will now show “Unit”.
Now press the arrow keys to access this configuration mode and to change the parameterisation for the
unit.
The correct value can be found in the following table.

Press the “SET” key to save the setting.

RS232

The PCE-SLT has an RS232 interface that can be connected via a 3.5 mm jack.
The jack plug must be constructed as follows:

11.1 RS232 settings
To receive the data correctly, set the COM connection on your PC as follows:

11.2 RS232 protocol

The display transmits a 16-digit protocol. This is structured as follows:

Reset system

To reset the system, proceed as follows.
Press and hold the “SET” and the “Decrease” key for five seconds. “rSt” flashes on the display.
The system has now been reset. After this, the device returns to measuring mode. After the reset, the device may need to be re-parameterised.

Disposal

For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.
They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.

In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.

For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with your local waste regulations.
If you have any questions, please contact PCE Instruments.
