DIGITAL INDICATOR WITH RELAY OUTPUTS

MODEL: AK-62

DESCRIPTION
The Controller has one display windows on the front panel for
The AK-62 is a fully configurable microcontroller based Digital indication of Process value and the set-point values. Two LED
Indicating controller in a compact, rugged & reliable execution. The indications show the status of the two control Relays.
instrument has a four-digit red LED seven-segment digital display on
the front panel to continuously indicate the real time process value
and other menu options. CONTROL KEYS

The Process value display can indicate any scale range between -999
to +9999 units The instrument has non-volatile memory (i.e., in case
of power failure, the set points and other settings are retained in
memory and the indication and control actions resume after power is
restored).
The instrument accepts a 4 to 20 mA DC current loop signal at the
input. An auxillary power supply output of 24 V DC is available at the
terminals. The instrument may therefore be used in either two-wire or
four-wire configuration. [The instrument is calibrated as specified. This
calibration may be changed by the end-user by following the
instructions under the “CONFIGURATION / CALIBRATION” section].
The AK-62 provides two Relay outputs, the set points of which may
be set through the Membrane Keypad on the front panel [see
CONFIGURATION – INITIAL SETTINGS section]. The instrument also
provides an RS-485 communication signal on MODBUS RTU
(optional). It operates on universal AC power supply (90 to 270 V AC,
50/60 Hz) and is offered in standard 1/8 DIN panel-mount execution.
The instrument has three keys on the front panel, the functions of
which are described below:
The PROGRAM key is the central co-ordinating key for
PROG accessing the settings of the instrument. Pressing this Key, one
can sequentially view, change and save the parameters such
as Zero & Span settings, Decimal Points, Relay Set-points for
control action, Hysterisis, etc.
The INC or Incrementing key allows the operator to select the
numeral in the digit being set. The digit will sequentially display
INC 0, 1, 2….9 on each pressing of the INC key. This may be used
to set the Zero/Span and Set-points of the displays.
The DEC or Decrementing key allows the operator to select the
numeral in the digit being set. The digit will sequentially display
DEC 9, 8, 7….0 on each pressing of the DEC key. This may be used
to set the Zero/Span and Set-points of the displays.

INSTALLATION

The instrument should be mounted in the cutout (44 x 92 mm) on the TERMINAL DIAGRAM
panel using the mounting clamps provided. All inter-connections to
the instrument should be made with strong multi-strand wire of the
order of 2.5 sq.mm. The ends of the wires should be properly ferruled UPPER TERMINAL BLOCK

CONFIGURATION (INITIAL SETTINGS)

After the instrument is properly connected to the mains power supply and input signal, the Initial Settings of the Digital Indicating Controller must
first be done. Only after the Initial Settings are completed, the instrument can be calibrated. An external current source is NOT REQUIRED for
calibration. During Calibration, the Display will “Time-Out” after 5 seconds (i.e., if no key is pressed for 5 seconds, the displays will return to their
“normal” states). The following is the sequence of settings to be carried out on the Controller before first use :

All settings to be done using Increment (
) and Decrement () keys.
