    OPERATION

    Alarm Relays

    All PD560 Series Digital Meters have a standard 3 A Form C (SPDT) alarm relay. Up to two additional 1 A Form A (SPST) relays may be added. All relays can be programmed for a variety of alarm types.

    • High/Low Alarms
    • Set Point Deviation Alarms
    • Fail-Safe and Standby Alarms
    • Relay Delays and Reset Deadbands

    4-20 mA Retransmitting Output

    A 4-20 mA powered output is standard on all PD560 Series models. The output can be programmed to transmit over any input scale for any input type.

    Transmitter Loop Power Supply

    The 4-20 mA retransmitting output may be configured to provide a 14 to 18 VDC @ 20 mA transmitter power supply.

    Input Bias Adjustment

    Up to five bias points can be used to provide precise offset adjustments at specific input values. The controller will use the offset to create a smooth input value curve leading up to the bias points.

    Display Max/Min Input Values

    PD560 Digital Meters can record and display maximum and minimum input values. These values will be stored until reset by the user power to the meter is lost. Through the use of the user defined displays, these values can be accessible with the push of the SET/ENT button.

    Digital Input Max/Min Reset

    Two digital inputs can be added as an optional feature. Digital inputs are activated by closing contacts or low logic levels. The configuration of the two inputs can be used to hold or reset the maximum and minimum input values simultaneously or independently.

    NO switches (external excitation not required) or open collector transistor

    Serial Communications & Adapters

    Nova meters with the serial communications option can be used for data acquisition or with Modbus communication (RTU and ASCII). Nova meters transmit via RS-485. PDA7485 RS-232 to RS-485 isolated and non-isolated converters and PDA8485 USB to RS-485 isolated and non-isolated converters are available for use with the Nova Multi-Monitoring software or other PC applications.

    14 to 18 VDC @ 20 mA; available instead of retransmitting analog output; selection is made through the front panel.

    Alarm Relays

    Ratings: 1 Form C (SPDT) standard; rated 3 A @ 30 VDC or 3 A @ 250 VAC resistive load. 1 or 2 Form A (SPST) optional; rated 1 A @ 30 VDC or 1 A @ 250 VAC resistive load
    High/Low Alarm: User may program any alarm for absolute high or low operation, forward or reverse (fail-safe) mode.
    Alarm Deadband: 0-100% FS, user selec
    Alarm Delay:
    0 to 99 minutes and 59 seconds
    Reverse Operation (Fail-Safe):
    Programmable, independent for each alarm. Relay coils are energized in non-alarm condition. In case of power failure, relays will go to alarm state.
    Forward Operation:
    Relay coils are energized in alarm condition. In case of power failure, relays will go to non-alarm state.
    Auto Alarm Initialization: Normal and standby operation independent for each alarm. Normal alarms will reflect the state of the input to the meter at all times. Standby alarms will not trigger if the change to alarm state is a result of power up cycle, set point change, or alarm configuration change.
