Installing the D4T

Panel Mounting the Base
1. Make the panel cutout using the mounting template dimensions above and insert the
case assembly into the panel cutout.
2. While pressing the case assembly firmly against the panel, slide the Retention Collar
over the back of the controller until the gasket is compressed.
3. For an IP65 seal, alternately place and push
the blade of a screwdriver against each of the
the four corners of the retention collar assem-
bly. Apply pressure to the face of the control-
ler while pushing with the screwdriver. Don't
be afraid to apply enough pressure to properly
install the controller. The seal system is com-
pressed more by mating the retention collar
tighter to the front panel. If you can move the
case assembly back and forth in the cutout, you
do not have a proper seal. The tabs on each side
of the retention collar have teeth that latch into
the ridges on the sides of the controller. Each
tooth is staggered at a different depth from the
front so that only one of the tabs, on each side,
is locked onto the ridges at a time.

Flex Module (FM) Characteristics

Many of the modules appear to look alike at first glance, therefore, it is always recommend-
ed that the module part number be noted and verified
prior to plugging it into any of the available slots in a
base. Each module is identified with a part number locat-
ed on the back side of the assembly right below the con-
nector (black label), as seen in the graphic to the right.

Flex Module Installation - To view video go to www.watlow.com/D4T

Some Flex Modules require that they be installed in specific slots within the base. As an
example, if a communications card is to be installed, it must be placed in slot 6. Slot 6 can
receive and accept any card, however, it is the only slot that allows for a communication
card (see table to the right).

Slots are keyed such that modules cannot be inserted upside down. Insert modules with the
component side facing the right when viewing the controller from the rear.

Installing the modules:

5. With the component side of the module facing right (viewing the controller from the
rear) insert the module in to the slot until it latches.
6. Remove the screw terminal block from the module.
7. Wire field devices to the appropriate terminals (see. Wiring details for each input and
output are provided in the following sections.
8. Reconnect the wired screw terminal block to the module. Be sure to reconnect the ter-
minal block to the correct module.
9. Restore power to the controller.

Note:
If a module is swapped out and replaced with a different type or moved to another open
slot after configuration, the controller will no longer function properly without being re-
configured using Composer™ software.
Note:
To minimize the possibility of unwanted downtime due to a module being removed and
installed into the wrong slot, affix the slot number labels (as directed in step 4 above) to
each module (as shown in the graphic below, white circle) and each removable screw ter-
minal block.

Wiring the Modules

Prior to wiring any of the I/O modules described in this document it is recommended that
the warnings and notes listed below be reviewed.
CAUTION: ç
To prevent damage to the controller, do not connect wires to unused terminals.
AVERTISSEMENT: Pour prévenir tout endommagement du régulateur, ne pas faire de raccor-
dements à des bornes inutilisées.

CAUTION ç Quencharc Note:

Switching pilot duty inductive loads (relay coils, solenoids, etc.) with the mechanical relay,
solid-state relay or open collector output options requires the use of an R.C. suppressor for
AC load or a diode for a DC load.
AVERTISSEMENT: les charges inductives de commutation de lampes témoins (bobines de re-
lais, solénoïdes, etc.) avec des options de sortie à relais mécanique, de relais statique ou col-
lecteur ouvert requièrent un dispositif antiparasite R.C.

Note:
It is possible that the terminal strip labeling for any given module could be the same. For
example, if a Thermocouple input module is installed in slot 1 and 2, each slot would have
S1 and R1 on its label. When referencing either of these inputs the differentiating factor is
the module slot number, therefore the reference should be input 1 of slot number x.
Note:
Maintain electrical isolation between the analog input, digital input-outputs, switched dc/
open collector outputs and process outputs to prevent ground loops.
Note:
The D4T meets IP10 requirements when the empty slots have slot caps installed.
Note:
Maximum wire size and torque for screw terminations:

Watlow D4T System • 24 • Chapter 3 Connecting to a PC

Connecting the D4T Base to a PC
DHCP Connection
There are two ways to connect the D4T over Ethernet to a PC (Fixed IP or DHCP). Because
the D4T is delivered as a DHCP client, we'll take a look at this method first. The picture
below shows two D4T data loggers connected through a switch to a DHCP server. When the
D4Ts are powered up on the network the
DHCP server will assign IP addresses to
them. Using this method allows the D4Ts
to come up in the same network as the PC
with minimal changes to the default D4T
Ethernet configuration.
To connect using DHCP:
1. Connect Ethernet cables from D4T RJ45
connector to the Ethernet switch.
2. Cycle power on the D4T data loggers.
3. DHCP server will detect them on the
network and give them IP addresses
automatically.

Fixed IP Connection
If it is desired to connect the D4T directly to a PC as shown in the graphic below follow the
steps below to do so. It should be noted too that there are alternatives to the steps defined
below, this is one way to do this.
To connect using Fixed IP changing PC IP address:
1. Connect Ethernet cables from D4T RJ45 connector
to PC Ethernet port.
2. On the PC navigate to the control panel and click
on Network and Sharing Center
3. Click on Change adapter settings
4. Double-click on the Local Area Connection (the
Ethernet port where cable is connected icon).
5. Click the Properties button.
6. Double-click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) button.
7. Click the radio button identified as Use the following IP address.
8. Change the IP address so that the first 3 octets match the first 3 octets of the D4T IP
address while ensuring that the last octet for both the PC and the D4T are unique and
between 0 and 255. If there are other devices on this network all must have a unique
address.
9. Change the Subnet mask to match what was entered for the D4T.
10. Click OK when done (this change to the IP address will take effect immediately)
To connect using Fixed IP changing D4T IP address:
1. Push the Menu, Settings and Network buttons, in that order.
2. Under "Communications Channels" push Ethernet.
3. Change desired settings to match the PC ensuring a unique IP address for each.
4. Cycle power to the D4T (changes to IP address will not take effect until this step is
peformed).

4 Chapter 4: Calibration
Calibrating the D4T Inputs
All inputs are factory calibrated and are accurate to the specified specifications (see Appen-
dix for specifications) when they ship from the manufacturing facility.

If an input is suspect as being out of calibration it is recommended that prior to perform-

ing any calibration procedure that the user verify that the displayed readings are not within
published specifications. Input a known value from a precision source to the analog input and
subtract the displayed value with the known value and compare this difference to the pub-
lished accuracy range specification (see Appendix for specifications) for that type of input.

Use of the Calibration Offset parameter found when viewing the Universal Input parameters
from within Composer™ software or while viewing the input from the front panel Operations
menu, shifts the readings across the entire displayed range by the offset value. Use this
parameter to compensate for sensor error or sensor placement error. Typically this value is
set to zero.

Required Equipment When Performing Calibration

Obtain a precision source for millivolts, volts, milliamperes or resistance depending on the
sensor type to be calibrated. Use copper wire only to connect the precision source to the
controller’s input. Keep leads between the precision source and controller as short as possi-
ble to minimize error. In addition, a precision volt/ohm meter capable of reading values to 4
decimal places or better is recommended. Prior to calibration, connect this volt/ohm meter
to the precision source to verify accuracy.

Actual input values do NOT have to be exactly the recommended values, but it is critical
that the actual value of the signal connected to the data logger be accurately known to at
least four digits.

Watlow D4T Install & Troubleshooting • 28 • Chapter 4 Calibration

Calibration of Analog Inputs
To calibrate an analog input, you will need to provide a source of two electrical signals or
resistance values near the extremes of the range that the application is likely to utilize. See
recommended values below:
Sensor Type Precision Source Low Precision Source High
Thermocouple 0.000mV 50.000mV
Millivolts 0.000mV 50.000mV
Volts 0.000V 10.000V
Milliamps 0.000mA 20.000mA
100Ω RTD 50.00Ω 350.0Ω
1,000Ω RTD 500.0Ω 3,500Ω
Thermistor 5kΩ 50.00 5,000
Thermistor 10kΩ 150.0 10,000
Thermistor 20kΩ 1,800 20,000
Thermistor 40kΩ 1,700 40,000
Potentiometer 0.000 1,200

CAUTION: ç
Control loops, alarms, limits and any other functions that receive signals from the analog
input will act on the high and low signals applied in this procedure.

Note:
When calibrating a Universal Input configured as a 3-wire RTD, ensure that the calibrated
source is connected across R and both T and S inputs.
Note:
If the user exits this procedure at any point by clicking cancel or simply navigating away
to another screen, the previous calibration for the selected input will be restored.
Note:
The calibration values entered using this procedure will be overwritten whenever the
controller has the factory settings restored.
Note:
There are three security settings that can be applied to the calibration screens through
the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting (see the System Overview section of the D4T Setup
and Operation User's Guide for more information) access point:
1. Full Access - full capabilities to calibrate available

Replacing the Battery
All D4T controllers are equipped with a field replaceable battery. In a worse case scenario,
the battery should be replaced every 7.5 years. If a replacement is required, the part num-
ber for the battery is BR 2032. The Watlow part number for the battery is: 0830-0858-0000
Identifying the battery location:
1. Orient the controller as shown in the picture below.
2. Notice that the battery compartment is located just below the two USB.

Removing the old battery:

1. Ensure all power is off to the D4T.
2. Insert a small screwdriver into the hole provided on the side of the controller as shown
below.
3. Place screwdriver into the bottom of the white battery holder and apply downward
pressure to slide the battery out of the housing. Once removed, make note of the
polarity as seated in the holder.

Installing a new battery:

1. Observing polarity (as shown in the previous graphic), insert the new battery from the
bottom of the holder (2 open slots - red circles as shown in picture below).

Watlow D4T Install & Troubleshooting • 34 • Chapter 5 Troubles hooting

2. Insert the battery perpendicular to the plastic housing.

3. Turn and secure the battery so that it sits under the tabs located on the top of the
holder.

4. Insert the holder into the controller housing with the positive side of the battery
oriented to the left as shown below.

Note:
If the battery is fully discharged it may be dis-
posed of in normal municipal waste. Because there
will always be some residual metals remaining in
the battery, Watlow recommends that this battery
be recycled.
