We Do Your Level Best
Thank you for purchasing the Dataview™ Analog Input Display (LI55).
The LI55 Series is a multipurpose, easy to use digital process meter
ideal for level applications. It accepts current signals (4-20 mA) and has
four front panel buttons for configuration of the display.
A fully loaded LI55 Series meter has the following: four SPDT relays,
4-20 mA output, and two 24 VDC power supplies. The four relays can
be used for alarm indication or process control applications, such as
pump alternation control. The 4-20 mA isolated output, and digital I/O
options make the LI55 Series an excellent addition to any system.

Installing the DataView™
For most users, installation can be done without opening the case. It will
only require opening when changing from a mA to voltage configuration
(refer to the full manual found on-line at www.flowline.com).
When unpacking the Dataview, thoroughly inspect the unit for any
damage that may have occurred during shipping. Be sure to report any
damage, as well as any missing parts or malfunctions to your supplier or
Flowline.
Mounting the Panel
When mounting the panel, first prepare a standard 1/8 DIN panel
cutout – 3.622" x 1.772" (92 mm x 45 mm), as shown below.
Allow at least 6.0" (152 mm) clearance behind the panel for wiring.
Be sure to maintain a minimum panel thickness of 0.04" - 0.25"
(1.0 mm - 6.4 mm) to maintain Type 4X rating. This would equal
0.06" (1.5 mm) for a steel panel and 0.16" (4.1 mm) plastic panel.
Remove the DataView's two mounting brackets. Back-off the two
screws so that there is ¼" (6.4 mm) or less through the bracket. Slide
the bracket toward the front of the case and remove.
Insert the DataView into the panel cutout.
Install mounting brackets and tighten the screws against the panel.
To achieve a proper seal, tighten the mounting bracket screws
evenly until meter is snug to the panel along its short side. DO NOT
OVER TIGHTEN, as the rear of the panel may be damaged.

Configuration for 12 or 24 VDC Power
The DataView allows for either a 12 or 24 VDC power option and comes
shipped from the factory ready to operate from 24 VDC. DO NOT
exceed these voltage ratings for the DataView.
To configure the DataView for 12 VDC power:
1. Remove all the connectors.
2. Unscrew the back cover.
3. Slide the back cover about 1 inch to expose the board.
4. Configure the J9 jumper behind the power connector for the
desired power configuration as shown below.

Transmitter Supply Voltage Selection (P+, P-)
All DataView models come shipped from the factory configured to
provide 24 VDC power for the transmitter or sensor. If the installation's
transmitter requires 5 or 10 VDC excitation, the internal jumper J4 must
be configured accordingly.
To access the voltage selection jumper:
1. Remove all the wiring connectors.
2. Unscrew the back cover.
3. Slide out the back cover by about 1 inch.
4. Configure the J4 jumper, located behind the input signal
connector, for the desired excitation voltage as shown.

Connections
All connections are made by attaching wires onto removable screw
terminal connectors located at the rear of the DataView.
Copper wire with 60°C or 60/75°C insulation should be used for all line
voltage connections, observing all safety regulations. Electrical wiring
should be performed in accordance with all applicable national, state,
and local codes to prevent damage to the meter and ensure personnel
safety.
The connectors’ label shows the function of each of the connections,
such as POWER, RELAY, SIGNAL, etc. The RJ-45 M-LINK connection
is intended for Flowline expansion modules, cables, or meters ONLY.
Any other use of the DataView's RJ-45 connection may damage the
DataView and any equipment connected thereto. The different types of
connections are explained on the following pages.
DO NOT connect any equipment other than Flowline’s expansion
modules, cables, or meters to the RJ45 M-LINK connector. Otherwise
damage will occur to the equipment and the meter.

Power Connections
The external power source to DataView is connected through a two-
terminal connector labeled POWER. The DataView will operate
regardless of polarity connection. The + and - symbols are only a
suggested wiring convention.

Refer to the product label on the display for the
DataView's power requirements.
The LI55-1__1 series operates from 95 to 265 VDC, 5-60 Hz.
The LI55-8__1 series operates at 12 to 24 VDC.
Signal Connections
Signal connections are made to a six-terminal connector labeled
SIGNAL. The COM (common) terminal is the return for the 4-20 mA and
the 10 V input signals.
!
The 2-wire connection is the most common for Flowline
products (EchoPod, EchoSonic II, EchoSpan, EchoSafe,
Echotouch (LU20 series only), DeltaSpan and FloaTek
series).

Wiring for Current Inputs
The following figures show examples of current and voltage connections.
There are no switches or jumpers to set up for current and voltage inputs.

The current input is protected against current overload by a resettable
fuse. The display may or may not show a fault condition depending on
the nature of the overload. The fuse limits the current to a safe level
when it detects a fault condition, and automatically resets itself when the
fault condition is removed.

Wiring for Current and Voltage Inputs
The figures shown below are examples of voltage connections. See the
section 'Transmitter Supply Voltage Selection' for possible jumper
setting with voltage connections. Current reception is protected against
overload by a resettable fuse. The display may or may not show a fault
condition depending on the nature of the overload. The fuse limits the
current to a safe level when it detects a fault condition, and
automatically resets itself when the fault condition is removed. The
DataView is capable of receiving any voltage ranging from -10 VDC to
+10 VDC.

Relay Connections
Relay connections are made through two six-terminal connectors
labeled RELAY1 – RELAY4. Each relay’s "C" terminal is common only
to the normally open ("NO") and normally closed ("NC") contacts of the
corresponding relay. The relays’ "C" terminals should not be confused
with the COM (common) terminal of the INPUT SIGNAL connector.
