the PROVU such a useful device is its built-in 24 VDC
PD6200-6R2 PD6200-7R2 2 relays
@ 200 mA power supply to drive the transmitter. This
feature not only saves the cost of an external power PD6200-6R3 PD6200-7R3 4-20 mA output

The total and grand total can be password-protected
to prevent unauthorized resets. The grand total can
be programmed as a non-resettable total. See Total

for details.

Time Base
The time base is the amount of time over which the
rate parameter should accrue. For example, if the rate
was ten and the time base was in minutes, then the
total would increase by ten every one minute.

Total & Grand Total Conversion

Factor
The total & grand total conversion factor is the
amount by which the rate is multiplied before it is
added to the total or grand total. For Example, if the
rate was ten per second and the total conversion
factor was 100, the total would increase by 1000
every second. This is useful, for instance, if you want
to show rate in gallons and total in thousands of
gallons.

When the total reaches the preset, the relay trips and
the sample time starts. After the sample time has
elapsed, the relay resets. The cycle repeats every
time the preset value is added to the total.

When the signal crosses the set point, the On time delay
timer starts and the relay trips when the time delay has
elapsed. If the signal drops below the set point (high
alarm) before the time delay has elapsed, the On time
delay timer resets and the relay does not change state.
The same principle applies to the Off time delay.

The noise filter is available for unusually noisy signals
that cause an unstable process variable display. The
noise filter averages the input signal over a certain
period. The filter level determines the length of time
over which the signal is averaged. The filter level can
be set between 2 and 199. The higher the filter level,
the longer the averaging time and so the longer it

Troubleshooting Tips
This meter is a highly sophisticated instrument with an extensive list of features and capabilities. If the front panel
buttons are used to program the meter, it may be a difficult task to keep everything straight. That is why we strongly
recommend the use of the free MeterView Pro software for all programming activities. A USB cable is provided with
the meter for programming with MeterView Pro software.
If you have programmed the meter with the front panel buttons and it is not working as intended, try re-programming
the meter using MeterView Pro software.

Symptom Check/Action
No display at all Check power at power connector
Not able to change setup or programming, Meter is password-protected, enter correct six-digit password to
Locd is displayed unlock or Master Password of 508655.
If a Low-Flow Cutoff Value has been programmed, the meter will
display zero below that point, regardless of the input – which can
appear like the meter is not responding to an input change. Check to
Meter does not respond to input change make sure the problem is not being caused by an undesired low-flow
cutoff value.
To prevent the display from showing a negative value, set the low-
flow cutoff to a value greater than zero.
Check:
Meter displays error message during 1. Signal connections
calibration (Error) 2. Input selected in Setup menu
3. Minimum input span requirements
Meter displays Check:
1. 999999 1. Input selected in Setup menu
2. -99999 2. Corresponding signal at Signal connector
Check:
1. Input signal stability and value
Display is unstable
2. Display scaling vs. input signal
3. Filter and bypass values (increase)
Display response is too slow Check filter and bypass values
Check:
Display reading is not accurate 1. Input signal conditioner selected: Linear, square root, etc.
2. Scaling or calibration
Display does not respond to input changes, Check:
reading a fixed number Display assignment, it might be displaying max, min, or set point.
Display alternates between
1. Hi and a number Press Menu to exit max/min display readings.
2. Lo and a number
Check:
Relay operation is reversed 1. Fail-safe in Setup menu
2. Wiring of relay contacts
Check:
Relay and status LED do not respond to
1. Relay action in Setup menu
signal
2. Set and reset points
Flashing relay status LEDs Relays in manual control mode or relay interlock switches opened.
Check:
Meter not communicating with application 1. Serial adapter and cable
programs 2. Serial settings
3. Meter address and baud rate
If the display locks up or the meter does not
Cycle the power to reboot the microprocessor.

Other symptoms not described above Call Technical Support for assistance.
Note: Certain sequences of events can cause unexpected results. To solve these issues, it is best to start fresh from
factory defaults and use the manual as a step by step programming guide, rather than a random approach to
programming. To reset the meter to factory defaults, see Reset Meter to Factory Defaults on page 47. In addition, for
best results, we recommend using the free MeterView Pro software for all programming needs.
