Otherwise damage will occur to the equipmentand the meter.Power ConnectionsPower connections are made to a two-terminal connector labeled POWER on Figure 7 on page19. The meter will operate regardless of DC polarity connection. The and – symbols are onlya suggested wiring convention.15

Return to Table of ContentsModel BD300 Analog Input Process Meter5.8.Instruction ManualSignal ConnectionsSignal connections are made to a six-terminal connector labeled SIGNAL on Figure 7. The COM(common) terminal is the return for the 4-20 mA and the 10 V input signals.5.9.Current and Voltage ConnectionsThe following figures show examples of current and voltage connections.There are no switches or jumpers to set up for current and voltage inputs. Setup and programming is performed through the front panel buttons.The current input is protected against current overload by a resettable fuse. The display may ormay not show a fault condition depending on the nature of the overload.The fuse limits the current to a safe level when it detects a fault condition, and automaticallyresets itself when the fault condition is removed.16

Return to Table of ContentsModel BD300 Analog Input Process MeterInstruction ManualThe meter is capable of accepting any voltage from -10 VDC to 10 VDC5.10. ModBUS RTU Serial CommunicationsSerial communications connection is made to an RJ45 connector labeled M-LINK on Figure 7.For interfacing to the BULLDOG, use the BD232SA for RS-232, the BD422SA for RS-485, or theBDUSBSA for the USB. The same port is used for interfacing with all expansion modules (e.g.external relays, digital I/O).Using the BDCCC meter copy cable for meter-to-meter interfacing for cloning purposes (i.e.copying settings from one meter to other meters).5.11. Relay ConnectionsRelay connections are made to two six-terminal connectors labeled RELAY1 – RELAY 4 on Figure7. Each relay’s C terminal is common only to the normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC)contacts of the corresponding relay. The relays’ C terminals should not be confused with theCOM (common) terminal of the INPUT SIGNAL connector.17

Return to Table of ContentsModel BD300 Analog Input Process MeterInstruction Manual5.12. Switching Inductive LoadsThe use of suppressors (snubbers) is strongly recommended when switching inductive loads toprevent disrupting the microprocessor’s operation. The suppressors also prolong the life of therelay contacts. Suppression can be obtained with resistor-capacitor (RC) networks assembledby the user or purchased as complete assemblies. Refer to the following circuits for RC networkassembly and installation:Choose R and C as follows:R: 0.5 to 1 Ω for each volt across the contactsC: 0.5 to 1 µF for each amp through closed contractsNotes:1. Use capacitors rated for 250 VAC2. RC networks may affect load release time of solenoid loads. Check to confirm properoperation.3. Install the RC network at the meter’s relay screw terminals. An RC network may alsobe installed across the load. Experiment for best results.18

RC Networks Available from Blue Ribbon CorpRC networks are available from Blue Ribbon Corp and should be applied to each relay contactswitching an inductive load. Part number: BD6901.Note: Relays are de-rated to 1/14th HP (50 watts) with an inductive load.5.14. F4 Digital Input ConnectionsA digital input, F4, is standard on the meter. This digital input is connected with a normally opencontact across F4 and COM, or with an active low signal applied to F4.5.15. 4-20 mA Output ConnectionsConnections for the 4-20 mA transmitter output are made to the connector terminals labeledMA OUT. The 4-20 mA output may be powered internally or from an external power supply.19

Analog Output Transmitter Power SupplyThe internal 24 VDC power supply powering the analog output may be used to power otherdevices, if the analog output is not used. The I terminal is the 24 V and the R terminal is thereturn.5.17. External Relays & Digital I/O ConnectionsThe relay and the digital I/O expansion modules BDXM & BDIO are connected to the meterusing a CAT5 cable provided with each module. The two RJ45 connectors on the expansionmodules are identical and interchangeable; they are used to connect additional modules to thesystem.Note: The jumper located between the RJ45 connectors of the BDIO must be removed on thesecond digital I/O module in order for the system to recognize it as module #2.Do not connect ar disconnect the expansion modules withthe power on!WARNING!More detailed instructions are provided each optionalexpansion module.20

Return to Table of ContentsModel BD300 Analog Input Process MeterInstruction Manual5.18. Interlock Relay FeatureAs the name implies, the interlock relay feature reassigns one or more alarm/control relays foruse as interlock relay(s). Interlock contact(s) are wired to digital input(s) and trigger the interlockrelay. This feature is enabled by configuring the relay, and relative digital input(s) (see page 61).In one example, dry interlock contacts are connected in series to one digital input which will beused to force on (energize) the assigned interlock power relay when all interlock contacts areclosed (safe). The interlock relay front panel LED flashes when locked out. The interlock relaywould be wired in-series with the load (N/O contact). See below.21
