Caution

(1) Mount the product to a panel that is strong enough to hold the product. If the panel is not strong enough or the product is not fixed tightly, it may fall down and cause injury. (2) The A5000 does not have a power switch, and will thus be immediately ready for operation upon connecting it to a power supply. (3) If the product is installed inside other equipment, provide sufficient heat dissipation to ensure that the temperature inside the equipment does not exceed 50.

Note: The ripple ratings for the 4-20 mA output are when the load resistance of 250 and the output current of 20 mA are applied. Conversion system

5.4.5 Method of Setting Linearization Data The linearization function means a function that changes the slope of straight lines in the relationship between the input and indication by correcting the relations at arbitrary points. Linearization data are set using the input value (indicated value before correction) and the output value (indicated value after correction) at each arbitrary point.

6.3 Peak Hold Function
The Peak Hold function retains one of the maximum (peak hold)/minimum (valley hold)/maximum - minimum (peak-valley hold) values and provides output for that value. Selection from these values is made using the condition data. The peak hold function is enabled by shortcircuiting the PH and COM terminals or setting both terminals to the same voltage level.

Output Function

7.1 Comparison Output Function

The A5000 series of unit meters is designed so that the two judgment values HI and LO can be set for the measured (indicated) value to provide the results of judgment as relay contact output. (This function is effective when the meter is equipped with a comparison output unit.) For details on the contact ratings and other specifications, refer to the section Output Specifications.

(2) Press the Shift key a few times to move to the linearization data menu.

(3) Press the Mode key to move to the setup for the number of data to be corrected.

7.2 Analog Output Function

The A5000 series of unit meters can output an analog signal for an indicated value (when the meter is equipped with an analog output unit). There are four output ranges, 0 to 1 V/0 to 10 V/1 to 5 V/4 to 20 mA, from which a selection can be made using the condition data. In addition, the analog output of the A5000 series allows for arbitrary output scaling. This scaling can be achieved by setting the indication value for an output of the maximum scale value (20 mA for 420 mA output range) in the AOHI parameter of the scaling data.

Control Functions

6.1 Hold Function

The Hold function temporarily retains the indication. The hold function is enabled by shortcircuiting the HOLD and COM terminals or setting both terminals to the same voltage level. As a result the display unit retains the indication given at that moment.

6.2 Digital Zero Function

The Digital Zero function zeros the indication given at an arbitrary timing. Thereafter, the function shows the amount of change from the point of zeroing. However, this function serves as an indication resetting function for a frequency measuring unit. Thus, the Digital Zero function can be used to reset the indication when there is no input signal at all. Note that, the on/off control of the Digital Zero function can be achieved by means of terminal control or front panel keys. In the case of terminal control, the Digital Zero function is turned on by shortcircuiting the DZ and COM terminals or setting both terminals to the same voltage level. The indication at that moment is zeroed. In the case of control with the front panel keys, hold down the Mode key and press the Increment key for about 1 second to zero the indication at that moment. Note: Operation with the control terminals takes priority over operation with the front panel keys. The Digital Zero function is disabled if the control terminals are made to go through the off-on-off sequence with the function enabled by means of the front panel keys.
