1. APPLICATION
NA3 series meters with a multicoloured bargraph have an universal input destined
to measure temperature, resistance, voltage from shunts, standard signals, d.c.
voltage and d.c. current.
NA3 meters can optionally have a continuous analogue output, relays, OC type
(Open Collector) and digital RS-485 outputs.
They can find application in various industrial fields, e.g. food industry, intermediate
pumping stations, sewage treatment plants, chemical industry, weather stations,
breweries.
The NA3 meter is made in the version:
 with a 4-digit LED readout field (digit height: 7 mm) and a multicolour
bargraph.
The type choice is made in the execution code.
They are programmed by means of the keyboard and through RS-485. Meters only
with the bargraph can be programmed through RS-485.

NA3 meters realise following functions:

– measurement of the input quantity and displaying it on the display and/or the
bargraph,
– evaluation of the input signal into indication on the base of the individual linear
characteristic,
– programming of the colour and bargraph resolutions,
– signalling of alarm value setting exceeding,
– recording of the measured signal in programmed time segments,
– storage of maximal and minimal values,
– programming of the indication resolution,
– programming of the measurement averaging time,
– locking of the parameter introduction by means of a password,
– conversion of the measured quantity into a voltage or current output signal,
– service of the RS-485 interface in MODBUS protocol, both in ASCII and RTU
mode.

Taking into consideration electromagnetic interference it is recommended to use

shielded conductors for the connection of input and output signals.
The power supply must be connected by means of a two-wire conductor with a
suitable cross-section ensuring its protection by means of a fuse element.
Requirements concerning the power supply cable are regulated by EN 61010-1
p. 6.10. standard.

5. SERVICING
After connecting external signals and switching the meter on, its name
and also the current version of the program, e.g. are displayed.
After ca 3 seconds, the meter is transiting automatically into the working mode
in which it carries out the measurement and the display of the measured value
on the display and the bargraph. Depending on alarm and bargraph parameter
settings, alarm thresholds are also displayed on the bargraph. The meter blanks
automatically insignificant zeros.

The pressure and hold down the key during 3 seconds causes the entry
into the preview menu. One must move on the preview menu by means of the
key. In this menu, only all programmed parameters, except servicing
parameters, are accessible to readout. The exit from the preview menu is operated
by means of the key.
In the preview menu, it is also possible to review recorded resl values. The
pressure of the key on the resl parameter causes the entry into the
preview menu of recorded values. The number of the recorded result is displayed
alternately with the value e.g. The moving on recorded values
takes place by means of the key. The hold down of this key longer than ca
2 seconds will cause the acceleration of the review. The pressure of the key
in any time will cause the display of the number of recorded results. The exit from
the review of recorded values is operated by means of the key.

NOTE!
– In case of the meter working with a resistance thermometer in a two-wire system,
the choice of the automatic compensation of conductor resistance changes will
cause a meter defective work.
– The automatic compensation is switched off when choosing Pt1000, Pt500
sensors and at measuring the resistance up to 4 k Connect the signal only in
the two-wire system.
– In case of switching the display individual characteristic on, the result on the
display is lineally converted in accordance with the introduced I_H1, I_H2, d_Y1
and d_Y2 parameters.
– In case of switching the analogue output individual characteristic on, the measu-
rement result is lineally converted in accordance with the introduced d_H1, d_H2,
O_Y1 and O_Y2 parameters.

24
– The meter checks currently the value of the introduced parameter. In case when
the introduced value exceeds the upper or lower change range given in the
table 1, the meter will not make the parameter record.
– In case of the Input type change, a simultaneous change of the decimal point
follows, optimally for the given input.
– After the supply decay, the current time is reset.
– The switching of the record off follows in following cases: switching the record off
from the programming matrix, change of the input kind, change of Go_r , change
of IntE, setting Cnt=0, memory filling up and when the meter is switched to the
network on again.
– In case of the Intr or Sect bargraph type, the setting of Curl and Curh markers
(from one alarm) is possible. The others are automatically erased.
– Max. and min. values are erased in case of following changes: input type,
individual characteristic (on, off), entry of standard parameters.

6. RS-485 INTERFACE
NA3 programmable digital meters have a serial link of RS-485 standard to commu-
nicate in computer systems and with other devices fulfilling the master function. The
MODBUS asynchronous character communication protocol has been implemented
on the serial link. The transmission protocol describes information exchange pro-
cedures between devices through the serial link.

6.1. Procedure of the serial interface connection

The RS-485 standard enables the direct connection to 32 devices on a single serial
link up to a 1200 m distance. For the connection of a higher number of devices it is
necessary to apply additional intermediate-to-separating systems.
The exit of the interface line is presented in the service manual on the fig. 3.d. In
order to obtain a correct transmission it is necessary to connect lines A and B in
parallel to their equivalent lines in other devices.
The connection must be made with a shielded conductor. The shield must be con-
nected to the protective terminal in one point.
The GND line serves to the additional protection of the interface line at long distance
connections.
One must connect GND signals between devices and one point to the protective
terminal (that is not necessary for the interface correct operation).
To obtain the connection with the computer of IBM PC class, an RS-232 into
RS-485 converter of PD51 type is necessary or an RS-485 interface card. The
way of NA3 meter connection through the PD51 converter is shown on the fig. 3d.
The designation of transmission lines for the card in the PC computer depends on
the card producer.

6.2. Description of the MODBUS protocol implementation

The implemented protocol is in accordance with the PI-MBUS-300 Rev G Modicon
company specification.
The set of parameters of the meter serial link in the MODBUS protocol:
– meter address 1... 247
– baud rate 2400, 4800, 9600 bit/s
– working mode ASCII, RTU
– information unit ASCII: 8N1, 7E1, 7O1
RTU: 8N2, 8N1, 8E1, 8O1
– maximal response time 300 ms

26
The configuration of serial link parameters is described in the further part of this ser-
vice manual. It consists on the settlement of the baud rate (Baud parameter), device
address (Adr parameter), and the type of the information unit (Tryb parameter)
Note: Each meter connected to the communication network must:
 have a unique address, different from addresses of other devices connected to
the network
 the identical baud rate and the type of the information unit.

9. EXAMPLES OF NA3 METER PROGRAMMING

Example 1. Programming of the individual characteristic.
If we want to programme so that to the value 4.00 mA will correspond the value
0 on the display, whereas, the value 20.00 mA will correspond to the value 100,
one must:
 enter into the programming mode and choose the D_ P parameter
responsible for the decimal point. Set the decimal point on 00000
 choose the Ind parameter and switch the individual characteristic On
 choose the I_H1 parameter and introduce the value 4.00
 transit on the d_Y1 parameter and introduce the value 0

48
 transit on the I_H2 parameter and introduce the value 20.00
 transit on the d_Y2 parameter and introduce the value 100

Example 2 Programming of an inverse individual characteristic.

If we want to programme so that to the value 4.00 mA will correspond the value 120.5
on the display, and to the value 20.00 mA, the value 10.8, one must:
 enter into the programming mode and choose the D_P parameter responsible
for the decimal point. Set the decimal point on 0000.0
 choose the wybraæ Ind parameter and switch the individual characteristic On
 choose the I_H1 parameter and introduce the value 4.00
 transit on the d_Y1 parameter and introduce the value 120.5
 transit on the I_H2 parameter and introduce the value 20.00
 transit on the d_Y2 parameter and introduce the value 10.8

Example 3 Programming of the alarm with hysteresis

If we want to programme the alarm 1 operation so that at the value 850C, this
alarm will be switched on, whereas it will be switched off at the value 100C, and
the alarm 2 operation so that at the value 1000C, this alarm will be switched off
and switched on at the value -199C, one must:
 enter into the programming mode , choose the PrL parameter of the alarm 1
and introduce the value 100
 transit on the PrH parameter of the alarm 1 and introduce the value 850
 transit on the tYPA parameter of the alarm 1 and choose select the function
assigned as nor
 transit on the tYPA parameter of the alarm 2 and select the function nor
 choose the PrL parameter of the alarm 2 and introduce the value 1000
 transit on the PrH parameter of the alarm 2 and introduce the value -199

Example 4 Programming of an alarm operating in a set interval with delay.

If we want that the alarm 1 will be switched on in the interval from 100 V to 300 V
and operate only after 10 seconds, one must:
 enter into the programming mode , choose the PrL parameter of the alarm 1
and introduce the value 100
 transit on the PrH parameter of the alarm 1 and introduce the value 300
 transit on the tYPA parameter of the alarm 1 and select the function On
 transit on the dLY parameter of the alarm 1 and introduce the value 10.0
in case of the alarm state duration for a time longer than 10 seconds, the meter will
switch the alarm relay on

Example 5 Programming of an analogue output
If we want to programme so that to the displayed value 0.00 mA for the channel
2 will correspond the value 4.00 on the analogue output, whereas to the value
20.00 mA , the value 20.00 mA, one must:
 enter into the programming mode, choose the IndO parameter and switch the
individual characteristic On
 choose the d_H1 parameter and introduce the value 0.00
 transit on the O_Y1 parameter and introduce the value 4.00
 transit on the d_H2 parameter and introduce the value 20.00
 transit on the O_Y2 parameter and introduce the value 20.00

Example 6 Programming of the recording every 20 seconds since 12:30:

 enter into the programming mode, choose the Go_r parameter and introduce
the value 12:30
 transit on the IntE parameter and introduce the value 00:00:20
 choose the rEC parameter and switch the recording On
After the exit from the programming matrix the memory will be erased and the meter
will begin to record results since 12:30, every 20 seconds.
After the memory filling up, the recording will be switched off.
