2. For your safety
2.1. Authorized personnel
All operations described in this operating instructions
manual must be carried out only by trained and authorized
specialist personnel. For safety and warranty reasons, any
internal work on the instruments must be carried out only by
DATCON personnel.

mA, 4-20 mA, 0-10 V, 0-5 V, 2-10 V to be displayed in
engineering units on the control panel.
Detailed information on the application range of the
instrument is available in chapter „Product description”.
2.3. Warning about misuse
Inappropriate or incorrect use of the instrument can give rise
to application-specific hazards, or damage to system
components through incorrect mounting or adjustment.
2.4. General safety instructions
The DT1400 xx xx is a high-tech instrument requiring the
strict observance of standard regulations and guidelines.
The user must take note of the safety instructions in this
operating instructions manual, the country-specific
installation standard as well as all prevailing safety
regulations and accident prevention rules.
2.5. CE conformity
A DT1400 xx xx is in conformity with the provisions of the
following standards:
EN 61326-1:2007 (EMC)
EN 61010-1:2001 (Safety)
2.6. Environmental instructions
Protection of the environment is one of our most important
duties. Please take note of the instructions written in the

3.2. Type designation
3.3. Operating principle
Area of application The DT1400 xx xx Limit switch compares the 0-20 mA,
4-20 mA, 0-10 V, 0-5 V, 2-10 V input signal with the set
values. When the input signal exceed one of the set values
the instrument activates the corresponding SPDT relay
contact. The DT1400 xx xx is also a process indicator and
enable linear process variable to be displayed in
engineering units on its 5 digit LED display.
The instrument is available with the following output options
(2 limit-relays are standard, beyond that only one option can
be installed at the same time):
•+ 2 normally open relay contacts (SPST) for limit switching
or for simple control tasks. (In this case 4 limit-relay
contacts are in the instrument.)
•4-20 mA / 0-20 mA galvanic isolated scaleable analogue
output. The output can be active (A) or passive (P).
•15 VDC, 30 mA, galvanic isolated power supply for two
wire 4-20 mA transmitter.

Oparating principle
The input current or voltage to be measured is led to the 22
bit A/D converter through a protection and signal condition
circuit.
The digital output signal of the A/D converter is processed
by a microcontroller.
The microcontroller drives the 5 digit LED display,
processes the front panel membrane keypad, drives the
limit relays, the analogue output.
Easy on-site configuration through the front panel
membrane keypad is a major advantage of the
microcontroller-based technology. The configuration
parameters: input signal selection, signal filtering, display
scaling, decimal point position, display refresh rate, limit
modes, limit values, etc. are stored in EEPROM. The
settings are protected by a two-level password against
unauthorized manipulation.
Power supply The instrument has two power supply version:
DT1400 xx xx:
18-40 V DC / 14-29 V AC, 3 VA / 3.5 W
DT1400 xx xx PS:
140-250 V AC / 180-250 V DC, 3 VA / 3.5 W
3.4. Adjustment
The DT1400 xx xx can be adjusted through the
3 button front panel keypad. All configuration parameters
are stored in the instrument EEPROM for unlimited time,
even when the supply voltage beeng switched off.
The instrument doesn’t need any internal adjustment.

3.5. Display, indicators
The following figure shows the front panel of the instrument:
1. „Rel1” yellow indicator for indicating that limit output 1 is
in “on-state” (LIMIT1).
„Rel2” yellow indicator for indicating that limit output 2 is in
“on-state” (LIMIT2).
„Rel3” yellow indicator for indicating that limit output 3 is in
“on-state” (LIMIT3).
„Rel4” yellow indicator for indicating that limit output 4 is in
“on-state” (LIMIT4).
2. 5 digit 7 segment LED for displaying the measured value
and the mnemonic messages.
3.6. Storage and transport
This instrument should be stored and transport in places
whose climatic conditions are in accordance with Chapter
10.1. Technical specifications, as described under the
title: Environmental conditions.
The packaging of DT1400 xx xx consist of enviroment-
friendly, recyclable cardboard is used to protect the
instrument against the impacts of normal stresses occurring
during transportation. The corrugated cardboard box is
made from environment-friendly, recyclable paper. The
inner protective material is nylon, which should be disposed
of via specialised recycling companies.

4. Mounting
4.1. General instructions
The instrument should be installed in a cabinet with
sufficient IP protection, where the operating conditions are
in accordance with chapter 10.1. Technical specification,
as described under the title: Operating conditions.
Mounting position
The instruments are designed in housing for mounting on
TS-35 rail.
The instruments should be mounted in vertical position
(horizontal rail position).
Horizontal mounting may cause overheating and damage of
the instrument.

4.3. Mounting
The following figure shows the mounting procedures (fixing
on the rail):
Mounting on the rail
The mounting doesn’t need any tool.
1. Tilt the instrument according to the figure; put the
instrument’s mounting hole onto the upper edge of the rail
(figure step 1.).
2. Push the instrument’s bottom onto the bottom edge of the
rail (figure step 2.), you will hear the fixing assembly
closing.
3. Check the hold of the fixing by moving the instrument
firmly.
