Program and Scale 4-20 ma Input These instructions show you how to program the ProVu meter to accept a 4-20 ma input and display a value associated with that range. When the meter is receiving a 4 ma input, it will display the low end of the display range; when receiving a 20 ma input, it will display the high end of the display range. The input values (InP 1 & InP 2) can be changed if needed, but the steps to do this have been omitted for this quick start guide. For example: If the meter were used to display the level of a 100 ft tall tank, the transmitter should send a 4 ma signal when the tank is empty and a 20 ma signal when the tank is full. The meter should be programmed to interpret these inputs on a display range of 0-100, so that at 4 ma the meter will display 0.00 and at 20 ma the meter will display 100.00. press to SEtup (Setup) 4 accept nma (Milliamp) as the input type. 5 multiple times, until the dec pt (Decimal Point) menu is displayed and press 7 to InPut (Input) until the desired decimal point location is displayed and press 8 ProG (Program) SCALE (Scale) 9 10 three times, until dis 1 (Low Display Value) is displayed.

Program and Scale 0-10 V Input These instructions show you how to program the ProVu meter to accept a 0-10 V input and display a value associated with that range. When the meter is receiving a 0 V input, it will display the low end of the display range; when receiving a 10 V input, it will display the high end of the display range. The input values (InP 1 & InP 2) can be changed if needed, but the steps to do this have been omitted for this quick start guide. For example: If the meter were used to display the level of a 100 ft tall tank, the transmitter should send a 0 V signal when the tank is empty and a 10 V signal when the tank is full. The meter should be programmed to interpret these inputs on a display range of 0-100, so that at 0 V the meter will display 0.00 and at 10 V the meter will display 100.00. press to SEtup (Setup) 4 until volt (Volt) is displayed and then press to accept as the input type. 5 multiple times, until the dec pt (Decimal Point) menu is displayed and press 7 4 to InPut (Input) until the desired decimal point location is displayed and press 8 ProG (Program) SCALE (Scale) 9 10 three times, until dis 1 (Low Display Value) is displayed.

Consult the ProVu PD6000 Instruction Manual for information on additional relay action types. 5
Program Pump Alternation Control These instructions show you how to program the ProVu meter to alternate between relays when the set point is reached. This relay action is most commonly used to alternate between primary and backup sump pumps so that they wear evenly over their life spans. Note: With pump alternation active, when the first set point is reached the meter will alternate between the relays set up with the altern relay action. The other relays will be activated in turn if the subsequent relay set points are reached. They will also be deactivated in turn as their reset points are reached. press to SEtup (Setup) 4 until the appropriate relay number is displayed (rly 1-8) and then press This will be the relay that will activate the primary sump pump. 5 until altern (Pump Alternation) is displayed and then press to accept. 7 8 the selected digit. when done to accept the new set point value. 9 10 the selected digit. when done to accept the new reset point value. 6 until the relay (Relay) menu is displayed and then press Act (Relay Action) 6 to set (Relay Set Point) to rst (Relay Reset Point) next relay (rly) This will be the relay that activates the backup sump pump.

Program Custom Unit Tags These instructions show you how to program the ProVu meter to display custom unit tags for the process value. The secondary (little) display shows this custom unit tag by default. Note: The custom unit tag has no bearing on the meter s operation or the process value. Displaying a custom unit tag is simply for ease of reading. press to SEtup (Setup) 4 The meter will display the default unit tag (ma). Notice here that the letter 'm' uses two 7 segment LEDs. This is true of the letter 'w' as well. until the units (Units) menu is displayed and then press letter is selected and to increment to the next letter. when done to accept the new custom unit tag. 7
Program 4-20 ma Analog Output These instructions show you how to program the ProVu meter to output an analog signal based on its display value.
