1.1 INTORDUCTION

UNISCAN – NX/H/V is a Universal Input Scanner intended for continuous

monitors of process parameters.
It incorporates advanced software features and micro controller based design
to provide complete user flexibility and can cater to almost all monitoring and
data acquisition needs of the user. It can be user programmed to cover
different application needs thus reducing time, inventory and spares cost. It
accepts direct signals from thermocouples, RTDs and linear voltage and
current inputs, either as fixed type or programmable universal input. Each
channel is sequentially scanned and active channels are displayed, Individual
channels can be locked for monitoring using the E key. Flexible alarm logic
and grouping is provided to energize alarm relay outputs as per the process
parameter values and programmed set points.
Serial communication is provided to enable the scanner to communicate with
PC (RS 232/RS 485 optional.
1.2 FEATURES

2.0 INSTALLATION / WIRING

Unpack the instrument and install it in a panel having specified cutout. Provide instrument power as per order. Provide an external
fuse/MCB of 250 mA rating for additional protection. Wire up the relays if ordered; these are with potential-free output, external voltage
has to be connected to drive the trip circuit (e.g. contactor’s coil).
Wire up the instrument’s inputs via its detachable external termination board and connect it to the main unit by the built-in Male/Female
connector pairs. Route the sensor cables and the extension cable away from electrical noise sources. Ensure correct input polarity.
Important Note: Insure proper earthing connection of supply

3.0 OPERATION / PROGRAMMING
3.1 HMI INTERFACE
The UNISCAN-NX/H/V has the following HMI-interface:
1. Top 4 digit 7-segment LED normally shows Process Value display of channel being shown (PV). This indicates the value of the channel’s
input being measured, in direct engineering units. The range can be programmed for mA/Sqrt inputs at site over any 4-digit range (-1999 to
9999 units).
2. Bottom 4 digit 7-segment LED normally shows Channel Number and Alarm Status of channel being shown.
3. 2 nos LEDs A & M for display of Auto-Manual status. The instrument can be operated in automatic mode, wherein the channel display
automatically scrolls through all channels as per user set display interval time. In Manual mode, user can select any channel and hold the
display to that channel.
4. 4 nos. keys for operating the instrument. Their normal functions are given below (keys from left to right)
1. S SCROLL: This key sequentially selects parameter being displayed or programmed.
2.  Decrement: This key selects (decrements) channel numbers in Manual Mode
3.  Increment: This key selects (increments) channel numbers in Manual Mode.
4. M Auto/Manual: This key toggles the instrument between Auto/Manual modes.
All keys are multi-function keys and used singly or in combination with other keys and this is described in the relevant sections.
Any unused channel should be terminated by minimum 100 Ω resistor

I mportant Note 1: The UNISCAN’s standard software enables user to select up to 32 relays for assigning them for alarms of any desired channel.
The software allows selection of maximum number of relays (32), obviously, if lesser number of relays are ordered, user must select relay numbers
less than or equal to the relays ordered. (For example, if 8 relays are ordered, you can assign alarms of desired channels among these 8 relays only,
if an alarm is allocated to relay number higher than 8, it will not function).
Important Note 2: The user must satisfy himself that relays have been correctly assigned/grouped. This is especially important for critical
applications like alarm/trips of safety devices. Standard suggested method is to make a table of desired alarm assignments, so that alarm type
conflicts are avoided while programming the UNICSAN-NX. (For example, the same relay can be assigned for High or Low Alarm conditions to
different channels.
Important Note 3: When alarm condition ‘H’ (TRIP) for any channel occurs and if instrument is in auto mode then It stops scanning and holds
the temperature value of that channel. It will be remains in that state unless and until the condition get acknowledged. Press  key to
acknowledge that condition, it will run in auto mode till next H alarm condition occurs.

3.2.5 AUTO CALIBRATION MODE

Calibrate all input types to Channel no. 1. And just setting the respective input type, that particular channel will gets calibrated
1. Suppose User wants to calibrate RTD to ch-2. Go in configuration mode. Recall that input type and then save it by pressing S+M key.
2. Suppose input type (e.g. RTD) is there then also user has to change it and set to RTD. Save it by pressing S+M key.
Important Note: User can calibrate the instruments without auto calibration. It needs individual calibration for each channel (Procedure is
given in calibration mode). By this way these instruments can be use for any input type as mentioned above.

4.0 DATA LOGGING AND TIME SETTING

Data logging can be done with the printer and serial communication port to
communicate and log the data on PC based data logger system.

4.1 PRINTER INTERFACING AND WORKING

Epson 80 column parallel printer can be connected to UniScan NX/H/V through printer port provided on back plate of the device with the
help of specially manufactured printer cable by Lectrotek.
Printer can be assigned to take automatic printouts after specified time interval or it can be instructed to have on demand print.
Printer timing settings for automatic printouts can be done in the software through keyboard, by pressing ‘S’ key four times. Upper display
will show the printer time interval (In min) and lower display will show the option selected. Time interval can be set from 1 – 255 minutes. Time
interval can be saved permanently by pressing ‘S’ key once more. Setting zero value to automatic printer time interval will disable the automatic
print facility.
On demand print can be obtained by pressing ‘M’ and ‘INC’ key simultaneously (‘M’ key should be pressed first)

4.2 SERIAL COMMUNICATION

Data logging can be also done though MODBUS serial communication for PC based data logger systems. The protocol for the serial
communication can be obtained from Lectrotek on demand.

4.3 SETTING THE INBUILT CLOCK THROUGH SERIAL COMMUNICATION

For time based data logging facility UniScan NX/H/V has been provided with inbuilt clock, the timing for which can be set initially through
serial communication in following manner.

The Serial number represents the unique device id if it is connected on a network of many devices, the default serial number for the device
is ‘01’, Which can also be modified from option found by pressing ‘S’ key two times.
Function code ‘06’ is used in MODBUS protocol to write a single byte data.
To write the clock two byte address should start with ‘80’, the second byte of the address will specify what parameter is being written.
Please refer the table bellow to write relative parameter.
