ALARMS
The digital panel meter has 2 alarm outputs in the basic version and up to 4 alarm outputs optionally.
Each alarm has a corresponding LED message in the front panel to show alarm status.

ALARM FUNCTIONS
The alarms can be set to operate in seven different modes. These modes are shown in Table 2 and described below. The alarm can also be set as ‘disabled’.

• Break alarm –
  The break alarm is triggered whenever the input sensor breaks or is badly connected.

• Low alarm –
  The alarm relay is triggered whenever the measured value is below the alarm set point.

• High alarm –
  The alarm relay is triggered whenever the measured value is above the alarm set point.

• Differential low –
  Deviation alarm. The alarm relay is triggered whenever the difference (deviation) between the Process Variable and the reference value ( ) is lower than the values defined in . For this function, the triggering point is defined as:

• Differential High –
  Deviation alarm. An alarm relay is triggered when the difference (deviation) between the Process Variable value and the reference value ( ) is greater than the value defined in . For this function, the triggering point is defined as:

• Differential (or Band) out of range –
  Deviation alarm. The alarm relay is triggered when the difference (deviation) between the Process Variable value and the reference value ( ) has its modulus greater than the value configured in . For this function, the triggering point is defined as:
  

• Differential (or Band) within range –
  Deviation alarm. An alarm relay is triggered when the difference (deviation) between the Process Variable value and the reference value ( ) has its modulus lower than the value defined in . For this function, the triggering points are defined as:

Differential out of range (differential out)| |
Differential within range (differential Within)| |

ALARM TIMER
The alarms can be configured to perform timing functions. The configuration allows the alarm output to be delayed, or to deliver a single pulse or a train of pulses. The delay, the pulse width, and the period are defined by the user.
Table 3 shows these advanced functions. Times T1 and T2 can be programmed from 0 to 6500 seconds and are defined during configuration (see ALARM LEVEL section). Programming 0 (zero) in the timer parameters T1 and T2 disables the timer function.
The LEDs associated with the alarm always light up when the alarm condition occurs, regardless of the current state of the output relay, which may be de- energized momentarily due to a time delay.

Table 3 – Timer alarm functions

Delayed| 0| 1 s to 6500 s|
Pulse| 1 s to 6500 s| 0|
Oscillator| 1 s to 6500 s| 1 s to 6500 s|

ALARM INITIAL BLOCKING
The Initial Blocking option inhibits the alarm from being recognized if an alarm condition is present when the controller is first energized. The alarm will be triggered only after the occurrence of a nonalarm condition followed by a new occurrence for the alarm.
The Initial Blocking is disabled for the Break Alarm function.

SPECIAL FUNCTIONS

MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM
The digital panel meter memorizes the measured maximum and minimum values (peak and valley). These two values are shown when pressing the MAX or MIN keys.
Pressing both keys simultaneously will clear the memory for a new peak and valley detection.

SPECIAL FUNCTION KEY AND DIGITAL INPUT
The key (special function key) in the frontal panel and the optional digital input can execute special functions according to the user selection. Figure 8 shows how to activate the digital input. The special functions for the key and for the digital input are explained as follows.
• – Freeze measured value
The Hold function freezes the measured value shown in the display. This function is toggled each time the key is pressed, or the digital input is selected.
Whenever the digital panel meter is in the Hold mode a message is briefly displayed to show the operator that the displayed value is the frozen value and not the current input reading.
• – Maximum value
The Peak Hold function shows the maximum value measured since the last time the key was pressed, or the digital input activated.
Each activation of the key or digital input triggers a new Peak Hold level and the display resets with a new peak value.
•  – Clears maximum and minimum
This function works the same way as the MAX and MIN keys pressed simultaneously, as explained in the MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM section.
If this function is programmed, every touch of the key or activation of the digital input will clear the memory and a new level of maximum and minimum values memorization will start.

PROCESS VARIABLE RETRANSMISSION
As an option, the digital panel meter can be supplied with an isolated 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA analog output for Process Variable (PV) retransmission. Available at the back panel terminals 29 and 30. When this option is available, retransmission will be always active, so that the user will not be required to turn it on or off.
The PV values that define the scale of the 0 mA / 4 mA to 20 mA retransmission can be programmed by the user in the high and low output limits ( and ), at the configuration level. High and low limits can be freely programmed, even with a low limit higher than the high limit, resulting in a reversed retransmission signal (decreasing signal when PV increases).
For a voltage output signal, an external shunt (calibrated resistor) should be installed at the analog output terminals.

AUXILIARY 24 VDC POWER SUPPLY – AUXILIARY P.S.
The digital panel meter provides a voltage power supply of 24 Vdc to excite field transmitters with a 25 mA current maximum capacity.
Available at the back panel terminals 16 and 17.

CUSTOMIZED LINEARIZATION
Three types of signals can be user-customized to fit a linearization profile. This means that the operator can configure the instrument to read non-standard crescent non-linear signals with high accuracy.

INSTALLATION

The digital panel meter is designed to be panel mounted. Remove the two plastic fixing clamps from the instrument, insert the unit into the panel cut- out and slide firmly the fixing clamps from the rear against the panel.

INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

• Input signal wires should be laid out away from power lines and preferably inside grounded conduits.
• Instrument mains (line) supply should be suitable for this purpose and should not be shared.
• In controlling and monitoring applications, the consequences of any system failure must be considered in advance. The internal alarm relay does not warrant total protection.
• The use of RC filters (47 R and 100 nF, serial) is highly recommended when driving solenoids, contactor coils, or other inductive loads.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The internal electronics can be removed from the front panel without any cable disassembly. The input signals and power connections are shown in Figure 1.

POWER CONNECTION

|
---|---
Figure 2 – Power Connection

SENSOR AND INPUT SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
These connections should be properly done, and terminals must be well tightened. Thermocouples must be installed with proper extension or compensation cables.
Pt100 RTDs must be 3-wire connected and the wires connected to terminals 22 and 23 should have the same electrical resistance (same wire gauge) for correct cable length compensation. Four-wire RTDs can be connected by disconnecting the fourth wire. Two-wire RTDs can be connected by shortening terminals 22 and 23 and connecting the Pt100 to terminals 23 and 24.
The figures below show the connections relative to each type of input.

Figure 9 shows the connections for a 4-20 mA transmitter powered by the 24 V power supply of the digital panel meter.

DIGITAL INPUT (DIG IN)
The digital input is activated by connecting a switch (or equivalent) to its terminals, as shown in Fig. 8 above.

ANALOG OUTPUT
The N1500 can deliver either 0-20 mA or 4-20 mA analog output, depending on how the instrument is configured. The output is available at terminals 29 and 30.

OPERATION

The front panel is shown below:

Status Display: Shows the process variable (PV) and the programming prompts.
Indicators A1, A2, A3, and A4: Show active alarms.
Indicators Rx and Tx: Indicate RS485 communication line is active.
PROGRAM key: This key is used to access different displays with the programmable parameters of the device.
BACK key: This key is used to go back to the previous parameter displayed in the menu level.
UP / MAX and DOWN / MIN key: These keys are used to increase and decrease parameter values. These keys are also used to display maximum and minimum values stored in memory.
FUNCTION key: This special function key is used for pre-programmed functions as explained in the special function key section of this manual.
The digital panel meter requires that the internal parameters be properly configured such as to fit the application’s needs. These parameters are the input type (T/C, Pt100, 4-20 mA, etc), alarm triggering points, alarm functions, etc.
These parameters are divided into five levels (or groups) of parameters which we will refer to as LEVELS.

Table 4 – Parameters levels

3 − Functions
4 − Configuration
5 − Customized Linearization
6 − Calibration

The work level has free access. All other levels require a certain combination of keystrokes to be accessed. The combination is:

and keys pressed simultaneously

Once within a level, just press to move to the subsequent parameters of this level. At the end of each level, the display will go back to the work level.
Note: To access the calibration level, however, it is required to press the keys and ****simultaneously for 10 seconds. The first parameter in this level is presented ( ) indicating that the calibration level is enabled.
After reaching the intended prompt just press the or keys to change this parameter accordingly. All changes are recorded in nonvolatile memory as we move to the next prompt. After 25 seconds with no key pressed the digital panel meter will return to the measuring level (work level).

CONFIGURATION PROTECTION
As a safety measure, parameter changes can be prevented by a combination of keys, valid for each level. The protected parameters can be inspected but not modified.
To protect a level, press the and keys simultaneously for 3 seconds while in the level. To unlock the level, press and for 3 seconds.
The display will briefly flash confirming that the level was successfully locked or unlocked.
For further protection, the keypad unlocks operation can be disabled by changing the position of an internal strap inside the digital panel meter:
When PROT is OFF, the user is allowed to lock and unlock the levels using the keypad as explained above. If PROT is ON, the levels lock/unlock operation is disabled.
Note: It is recommended to disable/suspend the control whenever it is necessary to change the device settings.
