Introduction
INTRODUCTION
The IR290 (4 to 20 mA Remote Indicator) is ideal to work with any 4 to 20mA device without a
LCD display or in a hard access area, making the monitoring of this device easier. When connected
in series with any 4 to 20 mA equipment it shows great versatility and easy handling.
Eliminates, for example, the user need to be near the device, in the case of a device installed on an
upper tank level or even on a hazardous area.
No external power supply is required, as it is connected in series with the equipment that generates
the 4 to 20 mA signal. The IR290 is a compact device, easy to use, and requires less room in panels
when compared to other solutions.
For better results using the IR290 read carefully these instructions.

General
The overall accuracy of a control measurement depends on several variables. Although the IR290
has an outstanding performance, proper installation is essential to maximize its performance.
Among all factors, which may affect IR290 accuracy, environmental conditions are the most difficult
to control. There are, however, ways of reducing the temperature, humidity and vibration effects.
Locating the IR290 in areas protected from extreme environmental changes can minimize
temperature fluctuation effects.
The IR290 should be installed in a way to avoid, as much as possible, direct exposure to the sun or
any source of irradiated heat.
The electronic circuit is protected by a humidity proof varnish, but frequent exposure to humidity may
affect this protection. It is also important to keep the covers tightened in place. Every time they are
removed, the threads are exposed to corrosion, since painting cannot protect these parts. Code-
approved sealing methods should be employed on conduit entering the transmitter. The unused
outlet connection should be plugged accordingly.

WARNING
In hazardous areas with explosion proof requirements, the covers must be tightened at least 8 turns. In order
to avoid the penetration of moisture or corrosive gases, tighten the O-ring until it touches the housing. Then
tighten 1/3 turn (120°) more to guarantee sealing. Lock the covers using the locking screw.
In hazardous zones with intrinsically safe or non incendive requirements, the circuit entity parameters and
applicable installation procedures must be observed.
Cable access to wiring connections is obtained by one of the two conduit outlets. Conduit threads should be
sealed by means of code-approved sealing methods. The unused outlet connection should be plugged and
sealed accordingly.
Explosion proof, non incendive and intrinsic safety Factory Mutual certification are standard for IR290.
Should other certifications be necessary, refer to the certification or specific standard for installation

CONFIGURATION
The IR290 configuration can be made in a very simple way, through local adjustment, using
Magnetic tool.
To visualize the configuration parameters on the Local Adjustment Programming Tree, the magnetic
tool must be inserted on the orifice marked with letter “Z”, located on the housing upper part, under
the identification plate. To act on the Local Adjustment Programming Tree parameters, insert the
magnetic tool on the orifice marked “S”. See figures 3.1 and 3.3.
Figure 3.1 – Zero and Span Local Adjustment and local adjustment switches
The orifices are marked with Z (Zero) and S (Span) and from now on will be designated by their
respective initial letters.
Table 3.1 shows the action performed by the magnetic tool when inserted in Z and S according to
the type of adjustment selected.
ORIFICES ACTION
Z Moves between functions.
S Selects the indicator function.
The rotation over the functions and their branches works in the following way:
1 - Insert the magnetic tool handle on Z. The IR290 goes from the normal state to the configuring
state. The IR290 automatically starts indicating the function available on the display, in a cyclical
way.
2 - To go until the desired option, rotate between the options, wait for the display to show it and
move the magnetic tool from Z to S. See Figure 3.3 – Programming Tree Via local adjustment to
know the position of the option to be chosen. Change the magnetic tool to Z to rotate between
the new options, though inside the new branch.
3 - The process to reach the desired option is the same as described on the previous item for all the
programming tree hierarchy level.

WPROT: When is displayed, instead of DONE and SAVED, means that the device write protect is ON and will not save the data.
When the user is on an other-than-Trim menu, he can change the order he navigates on Local Adjustment. For example, if incrementing the EU0
value and insert the tool in Zero (Z), the arrow direction will be inverted and will decrement the value when the key is inserted in Span (S). The
saving occurs in 1 second after magnetic key is removed from Span (S). The time to leave Local Adjustment and return to Monitoring is 4 seconds.
Execution time: Zero (Z) = 1.5 seconds and Span (S) = 2.5 seconds.
