Error Message [Err]
Error messages usually occur during calibration procedures. The three most likely causes of an error message are:
1) The full scale and zero signals were too similar.
Note, the high input
(full scale) signal
must be at least 1000 counts greater than
the low input (zero) signal (positive and
negative values are
allowed).
2) The scaling requirement exceeded the capability of the meter (19999
to +99999).
3) No input signal present, or incorrect connections.
The LOCK pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [XX1].
Reset channel 2 [XX2].
Reset channel 3 [XX3].
Reset channel 4 [XX4].
Reset tare [XX5].
Reset total 1 [XX6].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [XX7].
Hold Pin
Configure Code 9 to [X0X]. When the HOLD pin (pin 19) is connected to the COMMON pin (21) the displayed reading is frozen.
However, A/D conversions and all control functions continue and as soon as pin 19 is disconnected from pin 21 by the switch, the updated reading is instantly displayed.
The HOLD pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following functions (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset channel 1 [X1X].
Reset total 1 and total 2 [X2X].
Reset total 2 [X3X].
Reset peak and valley [X4X].
Reset tare [X5X].
Set tare [X6X].
Unlatch (de-energize) all setpoints [X7X].
Test Pin
Configure Code 9 to [0XX]. When the TEST pin (pin 20) is connected briefly to the COMMON pin (pin 21) all segments of the display and setpoint annunciators light up. Five eights and five decimal points (8.8.8.8.8.) are displayed for a short period. The microprocessor is also reset during this time, losing all RAM settings such as peak and valley, and any digital input pin settings set up in Code 9.
The TEST pin can also be configured in Code 9 to carry out the following (see Meter Programming Codes on Page 9):
Reset counter channel 1 and total 2 at power-up [1XX].
Reset counters, CH1, CH2, CH3, CH4, total 1, and total 2 at
power-up [2XX].
Lock Pin
By configuring Code 9 to [XX0], connecting the LOCK pin (pin 18 on the main PCB) to the COMMON pin (pin 21 on the main PCB), both the main and setpoint programming modes
are locked out. All meter programming codes and setpoints can be viewed but not changed.
Reset total 1 and total 2 at power-up [3XX].
Capture Pin
When the CAPTURE pin (pin 22) is connected to the COMMON pin (pin 21), the CAPTURE pin can be programmed for setpoint/ relay activation or macro control applications in the setpoint control settings mode of the setpoint programming mode [SPC_X] [X2X].
Common Pin
To activate the LOCK, HOLD, TEST and CAPTURE pins from the rear of the meter, the respective pins have to be connected to the COMMON pin (pin 21).
The main programming mode can be entered, but only the brightness setting adjusted. After adjusting the brightness setting, pressing the P button displays [LoCK].

To explain software programming procedures, diagrams are used to visually describe the programming steps. The following conventions are used throughout the range of Tiger 320 Series document diagrams to represent the buttons and indicators on the meter, and the actions involved in programming the meter:
Symbol
Explanation
The display showing 99999 represents the OPERATIONAL DISPLAY. After the meter has been powered up, the display settles and indicates the calibrated input signal. This is known as the operational mode and is generally referred to as the operational display throughout the documentation.
All programming modes are entered from this level.
This symbol represents the PROGRAM button.
In a procedure, pressing the program button is always indicated by a left hand. A number indicates how many times it must be pressed and released, or for how long it must be pressed before releasing.
Programming procedures are graphic based with little descriptive text.
Each procedure shows a number of meter panel displays running in procedural steps from the top to the bottom of the page.
If need be, the procedure may run into two columns with the left column running down the page and continuing at the top of the right-hand column. Each action performed by the user is shown as a numbered step.
Each procedural step shows the meter display as it looks before an action is performed. The hand or hands in the procedural step indicate the action to be performed and also how many times, or for how long, the button is to be pressed.
For example, the diagram below shows the meter in the operational display. With a left hand pressing the P button and a right hand pressing the button, the user is entering the main programming mode. This is indicated by the next diagram displaying [bri] and [5].
This is the display brightness mode and is the first sub-menu of the main programming mode.
Step 1
Step 2
Where a left and right hand are shown on separate buttons on the same diagram, this indicates that the buttons must be pressed at the same time.
The exceptions to this rule are when carrying out the Model and Software Code Version Check, or the Code Blanking and Macro Check.
This symbol represents the UP button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the UP button is always indicated by a right hand.
This symbol represents the DOWN button.
Shown in a diagram, pressing the DOWN button is always indicated by a right hand.
Where two right hands are shown on the same diagram with the word OR between them, this indicates that both the buttons can be used to adjust the display: UP for increase, DOWN for decrease.
and
[Span]
[10000]
Text or numbers shown between square brackets in a description or procedure indicate the programming code name of the function or the value displayed on the meter display.
Page 8
When two displays are shown together as black on grey, this indicates that the display is toggling (flashing) between the name of the function and the value or configuration setting.
Where a number is not definable, the default setting [000] is shown.
If an X appears in the description of a 3-digit programming code or in a configuration procedure, this means that any number displayed in that digit is not relevant to the function being explained, or more than one choice can be made.
The meters programming codes are divided into two modes:
the main programming mode, and the setpoint programming mode. (See diagram below).
Each mode is accessible from the operational display.
Programming Tip
The easiest and fastest way to configure the Tiger 320 is to use a PC with the free downloadable configuration utility program.

Example
Programming Tip
The Model and Software Code Version checking procedure can be performed at any time without interfering with other configuration settings.
Code Blanking and Macro Check Tiger 320 Series meters have the ability to hide (blank out) all or some programming codes, making them tamper-proof. This can only be done using the Meter Configuration program.
With code blanking turned ON, all main and setpoint codes that have been blanked out during factory programming are hidden, preventing them from being reprogrammed. Any codes that have not been blanked out are still visible and can be reprogrammed.
Turning code blanking OFF means all meter programming codes are visible when you enter the programming modes and can be reprogrammed.
A macro is a set of commands that run automatically when the meter is powered up. The supplier has a growing library of macros to suit a wide range of standard customer applications.
Macros can be installed in the meter at the factory during initial programming or by the customer at some later date. Macros are written and compiled using the BASIC Compiler program, and loaded into the meter using either the BASIC Compiler program or the Meter Configuration program.
Turning the macro OFF means that the meter will not perform the automatic commands pre-programmed to run with the macro.
Unless requested to blank out all or some programming codes CODE BLANKING & MACRO CHECK PROCEDURE and/or run a macro, the supplier programs the meter in the code blanking OFF and macro OFF (default) setting.

Page 13
Related Calibration Functions
The following functions are also configured in the calibration mode. See Advanced Calibration and On Demand Mode Supplement (NZ203) for further calibration details.
Serial Communications Properties
Selecting [CAL][20X] enters the Serial Communications Properties Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the serial communications output module baud rate, parity, time delay, and address settings.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Also see the Serial Communications Module Supplement
(NZ202) for further details on the serial communications module.
Set Auto Zero Maintenance Selecting [CAL][21X] enters the Set Auto Zero Maintenance Mode.
This mode allows you to configure auto zero maintenance settings for weighing applications applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.
Set Averaging Samples & Averaging Window Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode.
This mode allows you to configure the number of input signal samples to average over, and the size of the averaging window in display counts applied to the channel selected in the 3rd digit.
Selecting [CAL][22X] enters the Set Averaging Samples and Averaging Windows Mode. When in this mode, the [AV_S] menu allows you to select the number of input signal samples to average over. After setting the number of samples, moving to the [AV_W] menu allows you to configure the size of the averaging window in displayed counts.
The meter averages the input samples over the selected number of input samples (selected in the [AV_S] menu). This carries on in a continual process provided the input signal stays within the averaging window (set in the [AV_W] menu). If the sample moves out of the averaging window, the meter responds quickly to the change by displaying the non-averaged signal value.
When the signal stabilizes, a new averaging window is established and averaging resumes.
You can program the number of samples you want to average the input signal over from 1 to 255 samples. The averaging window can be set to between 1 and 65535 counts.
See the calibration modes diagram on Page 13 showing a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits.

CODE 1 Display Configuration Modes All meter display modes, except the display brightness mode, are configured in Code 1 (See diagram below). See Code 1 diagram on Page 18 for a breakdown of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd digits settings.
Setpoint Annunciators Mode
The setpoint annunciators mode is configured by changing the 1st digit in Code 1. The setpoint annunciators can be configured to operate as follows:
On when the setpoint activates.
All annunciators are permanently on and each one only goes
off when its setpoint activates.
All annunciators are always off (See Note 1 on Code 1 diagram
on Page 18).
Setpoint 1 annunciator comes on indicating a rising signal.
Setpoint 2 annunciator comes on indicating a falling signal.
The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to select the setpoint annunciators to come ON when the setpoints are OFF (not active).
Update Display at Selected Sample Rate The meters default display update rate is 0.5 seconds and is set in the 2nd digit of Code 1 as [X0X].
The display can be configured to update at the analog sample rate selected in Code 2. The example procedure on Page 22 shows how to configure the display to update at typically 10 samples per second by setting Code 1 to [X2X].
For these settings to take effect, the analog sample rate must be set at [2XX] in Code 2.
See Code 2 Channel 1 Measurement Task and Sampling Rate on Page 23 for an example.
Manual Loader Mode
The meter can be configured to function exclusively as a manual loader by setting Code 1 to [X1X].
See Analog Output Module Supplement (NZ200) for full details on manual loader mode functions.
Display Functions Mode
The display functions mode is configured by changing the 2nd and 3rd digits in Code 1:
Selecting [X5X] enters the Data Source sub-menu.
Selecting [X6X] enters the Display Format sub-menu.
Selecting [X7X] enters the Last Digit Text Character sub-
menu.
Data Source 2nd Digit [X5X] The data source for the primary display is configured by selecting
5 in the 2nd digit and the 0 in the 3rd digit:
Note:
[XX1] Second Display is the bargraph display on models DI-50EB51, DI-50TB51, FI-B101D50E, and FI-B101D50T.
The [XX1] Second Display and [XX2] Third Display only apply to DI-503 meters with three displays.
The 2nd digit in Code 1 can also be used to configure the data source for the remaining functions in the 3rd digit:
[X53] = Peak and Valley.
[X54] = Analog Output 1.
[X55] = Analog Output 2.
[X56] = Totalizer 1.
[X57] = Totalizer 2.
Selecting 5 in the 2nd digit enters a sub-menu and allows you to select the data from one of a number of meter registers as the data source for the displays or functions selected in the 3rd digit.
The example procedure on Page 19 shows how to select the data source for the primary display. The three digits are set to [X50].
Display Format 2nd Digit [X6X] Selecting 6 in the 2nd digit enters the Display Format submenu where the following display format settings can all be configured:
Last digit rounding.
Display units (decimal, octal, or optional 12 or 24-hour clock).
Decimal point placement.
The example procedure on Page 20 shows how to configure the three display format modes for the 3rd digit selection.
Text Character 2nd Digit [X7X] Selecting 7 in the 2nd digit allows you to select one of 54 characters and apply it to the last digit when the meter is in the operational display.
For example, if the meter was measuring a temperature, the display could be configured to display the reading with a C or an F in the last digit for C or F.
The example procedure on Page 21 shows how to configure the last digit text character as C for centigrade (C) for the 3rd digit selection.
Note:
After setting any or all the above three modes [X5X], [X6X], [X7X], the Code 1 display must be set back to [X0X] to leave Code 1 and carry on programming.

Relay Energize Functions
All setpoints activate at the setpoint value.
All relays/setpoints are programmable to energize above or below the setpoint value.
Setpoint Activation Source
Setpoints activate from any input channel, selected meter register, or external switched inputs (digital input pins).
Setpoint Latching
Setpoints can be programmed in relay latching modes.
Setpoint Reset & Trigger Setpoints can be programmed to reset selected registers, or be manually reset. They can also trigger a data print or a data log.
Setpoint Tracking
Setpoint tracking can
be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis, deviation, or PID modes.
Display Flashing
Display flashing can be applied to setpoints configured in the hysteresis or deviation modes.
Each setpoint can be programmed to make the display flash on and off while the setpoint is active, and keep it flashing until the setpoint de-activates.
Real-time Clock Option
Any setpoint can be programmed to operate from the real-time clock option.
Data Logging
Any setpoint can be programmed to log data within the meter (up to
4000 samples).
Data Printing to Serial Printer Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a serial printer.
Data Printing to PC Any setpoint can be programmed to send data directly to a connected PC.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each relay can operate in a hysteresis or deviation mode.
PID Control Settings
The PID (proportional, integral, derivative) control function provides exceptional control stability during control process applica-
tions. PID control is available from the following outputs:
Setpoint / relay output.
Analog output.
Relay and analog output at the same time.
PID control from the setpoint / relay output is available from SP1 and SP2 only.
There are two PID control outputs available via the analog output:
PID1 stored in register 50.
PID2 stored in register 51.
PID Control
Timer Modes
Each setpoint can be programmed to operate the relay in one of the following seven resident timer modes:
Normal Mode Timer
Single actuation, delay-on-make (DOM) and delay-onbreak (DOB).
Normally OFF/Pulsed ON Timers
Repeat ON Mode Timer multiple actuation, programma-
ble offand on-time.
Pulse ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and maximum on-time.
1-Shot ON Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOM and minimum on-time.
Normally ON/Pulsed OFF Timers Repeat OFF Mode Timer multiple actuation, program-
mable offand on-time.
Pulse OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and maximum off-time.
1-Shot OFF Mode Timer single actuation, programmable
DOB and minimum off-time.
Hysteresis or Deviation
Each setpoint can be individually programmed to energize the relay in the hysteresis or deviation mode, with or without initial startup inhibit.
Hysteresis (deadband) is the programmable band above and below the setpoint value that determines when and for how long the relay is energized or de-energized. The setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay above or below the setpoint value.
The hysteresis setting can be any value between 0 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a hysteresis band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 500 counts and the hysteresis setting is 10 counts, the hysteresis band around the setpoint setting is 20 counts, starting at 490 counts and ending at 510 counts.
Note:
If hysteresis is set with ZERO counts, the relay energizes AT or ABOVE the setpoint value.
Page 31
Deviation (passband) is the programmable band around the setpoint in which the setpoint can be programmed to energize the relay inside or outside the deviation band.
The deviation setting can be any value between 1 and 65535 counts. The number of counts selected act both positively and negatively on the setpoint, forming a deviation band around the setpoint.
For example, if the setpoint setting is 1000 counts and the deviation setting is 35 counts, the deviation band around the setpoint setting is
70 counts starting at 965 counts and ending at 1035 counts.
Initial Start-up Inhibit.
On power-on, start-up inhibit prevents the relay from energizing on the first setpoint activation cycle. Depending on how the meter has been programmed, initial start-up inhibit either functions during a falling input signal, or during a rising input signal.
Relay Time Control Modes The following time control mode settings can cover almost every relay timer application.
All setpoints can be individually programmed to operate a relay in one of the following time control modes above or below the setpoint value.
Normal Mode
This mode individually programs a relays setpoint with delayon-make (DOM) and
delay-on-break (DOB)
settings.
Normally OFF / Pulsed ON Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally off and pulses on when the setpoint activates.
Repeat ON Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable on and
off time settings.
Pulse ON mode (Programmable ON-time)
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
on time settings.
Single actuation, programmable DOM and
time minimum on
settings.
Adj.
DOM
Normally ON / Pulsed OFF Modes These are delay modes were the relay is normally on and pulses off when the setpoint activates.

Page 32
Pulse OFF mode (Programmable OFF-time)
Single actuation, programmable off time
and DOB.
Repeat OFF Mode
Multiple actuation, programmable off and

Each setpoint can be individually configured for basic to advanced operations in the following three levels. Each operational level is designed to provide only the required relevant setpoint and relay functions.
The modes at Level 2 and Level 3 can be set to OFF for each individual setpoint, ensuring that no other functions are programmed to influence the setup.
Level 1
Setpoint & Relay Basic Mode
This is an easily programmable mode for users who require the
following basic setpoint and relay functions:
First Digit Relay Energize Functions
Relays programmed to energize above or below the
setpoint value.
Second Digit SP Activation Source
Setpoints programmed to activate from selectable meter registers or one of six external switched inputs.
Third Digit Setpoint Latching
Relays programmed with latching and manual reset
options.
Level 2
Setpoint & Relay Intermediate Mode
Level 2 uses all Level 1 functions and is further extended by the following programmable modes. The functionality of the relay energize functions are extended by allowing the relays to be programmed with or without initial start-up inhibit.
Hysteresis, Deviation & PID Mode
This mode adds extra functionality to the basic mode by providing programmable hysteresis or deviation settings for all setpoints, or PID control from setpoints SP1 and SP2.
Timer Modes
These modes add even more functionality to the basic and intermediate mode by providing each setpoint with a choice of one of seven resident programmable timers.
Level 3
Setpoint & Relay Advanced Mode
Level 3 uses all Level 1 and Level 2 functions combined with reset and trigger functions to provide an extremely powerful advanced mode.
Level 3 enables you to program all setpoints individually for operations normally requiring sophisticated controllers.
Example Procedure:
The following procedure describes how to program setpoint
1 (SP1) for the following Level 1 setpoint and relay functions:
See Setpoints and Relays Supplement (NZ201) for procedures to program all setpoint and relay operational levels (Level 1 to Level 3).

The 40 registers that can be selected as a data source, a reset source or a reset destination for the functions above are shown in the table on the right.
The table shows, in seven columns, the functions where these registers can be used.
Where a register is more likely to be used in a particular function, a closed circle is shown in the column. For those functions where a register is less likely to be used, an open circle is s hown.
No register number is shown for the first 11 functions, because these 11 functions are identified in the display menu for direct selection by their code names.
When cycling through the Registers Menu and then Registers 1 to 244, the numerical Register Set will increment through each decade in turn, from 1 to 0, while the button is held down. When [200] is reached, [oFF] or [tArE] will be displayed. To select a specific number set, the button should be released and pressed again each time the left most decade displays the desired number for that decade.
To quickly exit the numerical 1 to 244 Register Set, hold the button down while cycling through the decades, and release it when [oFF] or [tArE] appears.
Registers that Should Not be Used The following registers are contained within the selectable
1 to 244 Register Set, but they should not be selected because they are either reserved for future use, or for use by the operating system only:
15, 38, 47-48, 52-53, 61-64, 123-128, 140-141, 234-244
Any selection of these Registers may cause a malfunction.

Resetting and Incrementing Using Setpoints Setpoints may be used to reset and/or increment registers. In the example shown below, 2 liter soft drink bottles are being filled and packed 12 to a case. Using the setpoint reset and increment feature, the number of bottles and the total number of filled cases is easily calculated and displayed. Totalizer 1 counts from 0 to 2, resets, and repeats. CH 2 counts from 0 to 12, resets, and repeats.

Modular Construction
The Tiger 320 Series of 32-bit Programmable Meter Controllers in one instrument, all the different functions required by todays automation and process control applications. This is made possible by modular construction, around standard case sizes, built to American, European, and Japanese standards.
The range comes with a wide variety of display options, including 5 or 6-digit numeric or alphanumeric displays, 6-digit LCD displays, and 51 or 101-segment red, green, or tri-color straight and circular bargraphs.
All meters are housed in one of three DIN case sizes, or the popular 4 ANSI case, and provide the ideal solution for your measurement and process control applications.
Modular construction ensures you dont have to pay for unnecessary hardware. Simply order the input and output options to suit your application.

1. Install and wire meter per local applicable codes/regulations, the particular application, and good installation practices.
2. Install meter in a location that does not exceed the maximum operating temperature and that provides good air circulation.
3. Separate input/output leads from power lines to protect the meter from external noise. Input/output leads should be routed as far away as possible from contactors, control relays, transformers and other noisy components. Shielding cables for input/output leads is recommended with shield connection to earth ground near the meter preferred.
4. A circuit breaker or disconnect switch is required to disconnect power to the meter. The breaker/switch should be in close proximity to the meter and marked as the disconnecting device for the meter or meter circuit.
The circuit breaker or wall switch must be rated for the applied voltage (e.g., 120VAC or 240VAC) and current appropriate for the electrical application (e.g., 15A or 20A).
5. See Case Dimensions section for panel cutout information.
6. See Connector Pinouts section for wiring.
7. Use 28-12 AWG wiring, minimum 90 C (HH) temperature rating. Strip wire approximately 0.3 in. (7-8 mm).
8. Recommended torque on all terminal plug screws is 4.5 lb-in (0.51 N-m).
