· Plug-in directly to transmitter
· Loop voltage drop only 3 V at 20mA
· Large display range of -1999 to 9999
digits
· Scale easily adjustable to transmitter
range
The DDI6000 display can be used with all 4...20 mA output devices of the following
Sensortechnics transmitter series:
KTE/KTU3000
KTE/KTU6000
BTE/PTU6000
BTE/PTU4000
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DDI6000 is a microprocessor controlled loop
powered display for any 4...20 mA standard signal. It
does not require its own separate voltage source as it
is supplied directly from the measuring current loop.
The measured value is displayed on a 4-digit LCD with
a wide max. display range of -1999 to +9999 digits.
The operating range of the display device can be directly
adjusted to the transmitter without any accessories
being required. Simply enter the maximum and minimum
measuring range limits and the decimal point position.
Parameter and limit values are entered via three keys
which are accessible after removal of the cover.
All programmable parameters of the DDI6000 are saved
in an EEProm. In case of a current failure they will be
stored for at least 10 years.

The DDI6000 is equipped with a self-diagnosis system
to continuously monitor the essential parts of the device
for their correct function. An additional monitoring
system checks for the sensor for “sensor damage”,
“sensor short circuit” or values exceeding or falling below
permissible limits. Both systems ensure maximum
operational reliability of the device.
Prior to delivery the DDI6000 will be tested and accurately calibrated.
However, prior to starting your installation please
configure the device for your application.
Please refer to chapter “Configuration”.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
To connect the DDI6000 simply plug into an existing transmitter by means of a special adaptor for the
DIN43650 plug.
Supply voltage:
Caution!
Device takes power directly from measuring current.
Please allow for an additional loop voltage drop of 3 Volts.
Wrong electrical connection may lead to the destruction of the device.
Mind the maximum input current rating of 40 mA under any circumstances!
FAULT CODES
In case of unacceptable conditions in the system a fault code will be displayed.
Fault codes have been defined as follows:
FE 1: Measuring range has been exceeded
This fault code indicates that the measuring range of the A/D converter has been exceeded.
Potential fault cause:
Transmitter damaged
Short-circuit in transmitter connection
DDI6000 not or incorrectly configured
Remedies:
FE 1 will be reset as soon as the measuring values return to their permissible
range. Please check your transmitter and transmitter connecting cables.
FE 2: Measuring values have fallen below permissible range
This fault code indicates that the measuring values of the A/D converter have fallen below the permissible
range.
Potential fault cause:
Transmitter damaged
Transmitter connection interrupted
DDI6000 not or incorrectly configured
Remedies:
FE 2 will be reset as soon as the measuring values return to their permissible
range. Please check your transmitter and transmitter connecting cables.

CONFIGURATION
Please note: Measuring current should be at least 4 mA during configuration!
1.
Press button 1, "dP" (decimal point) will be displayed.
Select decimal point position desired using buttons 2 and 3.
Acknowledge decimal point position by pressing button 1. "dP" will be displayed again.
2.
Press button 1 once again, "An4" (display for 4 mA) will be displayed.
Use buttons 2 and 3 to set value to be displayed for an input signal of 4 mA.
Acknowledge value displayed by pressing button 1. "An4" will be displayed again.
(Buttons 2 and 3 are equipped with a scrolling function, i.e. the value will be increased respectively decreased by 1 digit when
pressed briefly (no more than 1 s). When pressing for a longer time (over 1 s) the values start "scrolling" with the speed
being increased after approx. 6 s.)
3.
Switch over to the next parameter by pressing button 1 again. "An20" will be displayed (display for 20 mA).
Use buttons 2 and 3 to set value to be displayed for an input signal of 20 mA.
Acknowledge value displayed by pressing button 1. "An20" will be displayed again.
4.
Press button 1 once again. "LI" (limit) will be displayed.
Select measuring range limits desired using buttons 2 and 3.
0 = Values exceeding/falling below limits are acceptable. (FE1, FE2 displayed for hardware limits)
1 = Values exceeding/falling below limits are not acceptable. (FE1, FE2 displayed for area limits)
Acknowledge selection made by pressing button 1. "LI" will be displayed again. For pressure measuring
transducers always enter "LI 0", for relative humidity, pH and similar measuring units always enter "LI 1".
5.
Press button 1 once again. "FILt" (filter) will be displayed.
Select input filter 0, 1, 2 or 3 desired using buttons 2 and 3.
0 = no filter
1 = filter 1 active
2 = filter 2 active
3 = filter 1 and 2 active
Filter 1: For filtering short pikes occurring when relays and contactors are switched. Make sure to always
activate filter 1 if high loads are switched in the vicinity of the DDI6000, wires or the sensor or if large pikes
are to be expected.
Additional display delay: approx. 0.5 s
Filter 2: Prevents "jumping" of the last figure, a phenomenon often found with digital displays and
controllers. Make sure to always activate filter 2 if the display range exceeds 2000 digits.
Additional display delay: approx. 1 s
Acknowledge selection made by pressing button 1. "FILt" will be displayed again.
The adjustment of the DDI6000 to the transmitter is now completed. The DDI6000 can be immediately switched
over to display the current measuring value by pressing button 1.
