POWER CONNECTION INSTALLATION
To meet the requirements of the directive EN61010-1, where the unit
is permanently connected to the mains supply it is obligatory to install
a circuit breaking device easy reachable to the operator and clearly
marked as the disconnect device.
WARNING
In order to guarantee electromagnetic compatibility, the following
guidelines for cable wiring must be followed:
- Power supply wires must be routed separated from signal wires.
Never run power and signal wires in the same conduit.
- Use shielded cable for signal wiring and connect the shield to
ground of the indicator (pin2 CN1).
- The cable section must be 0.25 mm².
CONNECTORS
To perform wiring connections, remove
AC VERSIONS the terminal block from the meter's connector,
PIN 1 - AC HI strip the wire leaving from 7 to 10mm exposed
PIN 2 - GND (GROUND) and insert it into the proper terminal while pushing
PIN 3 - AC LO (NEUTRAL) the fingertip down to open the clip inside the
connector as indicated in the figure.
DC VERSIONS Proceed in the same manner with all pins and plug the terminal block
PIN 1 - DC POSITIVE into the corresponding meter's connector.
PIN 2 - N/C (not connected) Each terminal can admit cables of section comprised between 0.08mm²
PIN 3 - DC NEGATIVE and 2.5mm² (AWG 26 ÷ 14).
The blocks provide removable adaptors into each terminal to allow
proper fastening for cable sections of <0.5 mm².

2.3 - Input configuration
The Alpha-P provides a choice of three input types: volts (VoLt), milliamp (AMP) and potentiometer (Pot).
Programming menu of "VoLt" and "AMP" inputs (process indicator) include selection of input range and transducer excitation.
Programming menu of "Pot" input (displacement indicator) requires no further configuration. When entering this option the meter
automatically sets the excitation to 10V. This voltage is used to feed the potentiometer so the input signal may take values
between 0 and 10V.
After deciding the input range, we are ready to enter in the input configuration module (1 CnInP) to program this parameter.
Connect the instrument to the mains. The self-test routine starts: for a few seconds, the display illuminates all segments, decimal

MENU 2 CALCULATE A VOLUME
PRESENTATION
There a several ways to calculate a volume of a liquid within a container. By using a pressure-sensor fixed at the bottom of the
container, it is possible to know the height of the liquid by adopting the adequate scale (page 19).
3. Fill the container with pre-defined quantities and look at the value of the output signal. Introduce these values in the scaling
menu (page 17). The more points are introduced the more precise will be the indicator.
4. If the shape of the container is regular (vertical roll, cube) then the volume will be proportional to the height and thus to the
pressure. By introducing a multiplicative factor in the scaling (page 17), it is possible to have the volume directly.
AUTOMATIC CALCULATION
The Alpha-P1.00 offers the possibility of calculating directly volumes for container having the shape of a sphere, a cylinder or a
combination of both, as well as SILO containers (figures 27). All the user has to do is to introduce the dimensions following the
corresponding menu.
To use this function fix a pressure-sensor at the bottom of the container and scale the instrument so that the output signal
indicates the height of the volume in meters. The height is proportional to the pressure, it is thus sufficient to introduce only two
points into the scaling menu (page 19 to 22): for each signal introduce the corresponding height in meters.
Example: Silo with total high of 10 meters, Pressure sensor with 4- 20 mA output signal corresponding to 0-1 bar. On SCAL menu
will be programmed INP1 = 4.000 mA, DSP1 = 0.00 m; INP2 = 20.000 mA, DSP2 = 10.00 m.
After in menu PROGRAMMING AUTOMATIC CALCULATION page 29 put the information asked for this menu according to the shape
chosen.

3.2 - Remote functions
The rear connector CN2 provides 4 user programmable opto-coupled inputs that can be operated from external contacts or
logic levels supplied by an electronic system. Four different functions may be then added to the functions available from the
front-panel keys. Each function is associated to one of the CN2 connector pins (PIN 1, PIN 2, PIN 4 and PIN 5) and is
activated by applying a falling edge or a low level pulse to the corresponding pin with respect to common (PIN 3).
Each pin can be assigned one of the 28 functions listed on the following pages.
Default configuration
As shipped from the factory, the CN2 connector allows the
TARE, MAX/ MIN and RESET operations be made in the same
way as from the front-panel keyboard and incorporates one
more function: the display HOLD.
The HOLD state, which is acknowledged by the LED "HOLD",
freezes the display, the BCD and the analog outputs but does
not halt the meter's internal operation nor the alarm outputs.
The HOLD state is maintained as long as pin2 is kept to a low
level with respect to pin 3. Fig. 32.1
