FUTEK IPM500 (D500) Digital Display - Manual (Page 4)

Revision 04
Display Buttons:
*The Menu button is used to scroll
through setting options and to save
individual settings.
*The Peak button is used to select the
displayed menu item. Pressing the Peak
function on a menu item will enable the user
to change the items setting.
*The Reset button is used to reset all display functions. Selecting the Reset function when
inside the settings can also change the numerical value of the flashing digits that was selected
by the Peak function.
*The Alarms button will allow the user to scroll backwards through the setting
options.
Menu Functions:
1. Lo In – Enables the user to enter a low input signal from the source
2. Hi In – Enables the user to enter a high input signal from the source
3. Lo rd - Enables the user to enter a minimum display reading (corresponding to the Lo In)
4. Hi rd – Enables the user to enter a maximum display reading (corresponding to the Hi In)
5. InPut – Enables the user to enter desired input signal type
6. SEtuP – Enables the user to set the constraints for the meter, (display selection, line frequency,
display of leading zeros, method of scaling meter, and rear connector inputs A and B, etc…)
7. ConFG – Enables the user to configure the meter (selection of scaling method, rate of change
function, unlatched data, etc…)
8. FiLtr – Enables the user to select filtering options
9. dEc.Pt – Enables the user to select placement of decimal point
10. SCALE – Enables the user to enter a scale factor multiplier
11. OFFSt – Enables the user to select offset value
3 Methods for Configuration:
This meter can be configured by three different methods. The three methods are listed below as well as the
necessary information about the sensors to utilize each method.
Method 1 (Futek’s Recommendation):
This method requires that the Rated Output and the maximum capacity of the sensor be known. The
sensor does not have to be attached to the meter in order to configure the meter. With this method the
user enters in the low display input signal (typically at zero load), and the rated output and corresponding
maximum capacity. The meter automatically calculates the scale factor.
Method 2:
This method requires that the scale factor and offset values be known. The sensor does not have to be
connected to the meter in order to configure the meter. With this method the user will enter the scaling
factor and offset value, and the meter will apply that scale factor to the input signals in order to determine
the displayed values.
Method 3:
This method requires that the user has a known load (at least 75% of max. capacity of the sensor), and
that the sensor be connected to the meter. With this method the meter reads the input signal from two
different loads, and the user enters the corresponding display values. The meter then calculates a scaling
factor.
