USB Programming Cable and Software
The 3.5 mm connection “hole” in the center bottom of the rear panel is for the
optional USB Programming Cable (p/n 6180-031), which comes with Windows ™
compatible PM (Panel Meter) Remote Software on CD. The cable and software
combination allows the user to configure: operation mode, analog output scaling,
decimal places, display update rate and pulses per input. The user can also view real
time data in digital format and/or through Microsoft
®
Excel. Software instructions are
included on the software CD.
SENSOR CONNECTIONS
A speed sensor (not included) is connected to the terminals under the section
labeled INPUT on the rear panel. Refer to Figures 2 and 3.
Connections and their functions are as follows:
+VA
Positive +12 Vdc to provide power to optical, laser, infrared
or amplified magnetic sensors. Maximum load is 75 mA dc.
Optionally 5 or 24 Vdc supply may be ordered.
PX+
Positive +12 Vdc supply for use with two-wire proximity
sensors. Maximum load for proper operation with two-wire
sensors is 25 mA.
SIG
Positive input signal from the speed sensor. Accepts TTL
pulses or ac signals, unipolar and bipolar, from 1.5 Vac to 50
Vac. (Contact the factory for increased sensitivity.) Connect
the signal wire from three-wire sensors or the positive side of
two-wire magnetic sensors to this terminal. Typical input
impedance is 10 Kohms.
COM Common or Negative connection for both signal and power
from most sensors.
Refer to Figure 3 for connection of Monarch standard sensors. The
connections are typical for these types of sensors.
