Helios PD2-6200 Analog Input Rate/Totalizer

Quick Start Guide

The meter can be programmed using MeterView Pro. This software can be installed on

any Microsoft® Windows® (2000/XP/Vista/7/8/10) computer by connecting to the meter’s

onboard USB. The meter is powered by the USB connection, so there is no need to wire

anything prior to programming the meter.

Installing MeterView®Pro

Connect the provided USB cable to the

meter and the computer as shown. The

computer will automatically install the driver

software it needs to talk to the meter.

Note: Only one meter may be connected at a time.

Attaching multiple meters will cause a conict

with the meter software.

Once the driver is installed, an AutoPlay dialog

should appear for the drive “MAINSTAL.” Click

“Open folder to view les.”

If the computer does not display an AutoPlay

dialog for the drive “MAINSTAL,” you should

open My Computer and double-click on the

drive labeled “MAINSTAL.”

Double-click on the le named “MAStart.”

The program will open a few windows and

install two programs on your computer. Simply

follow the onscreen instructions until you see

one of the dialogs below.

Note: If you receive a User Account Control

warning, click “Yes.”

If there is an update available, click the

“Update” button to install the new version.

Otherwise, click “Congure” to begin program-

ming your meter.

Note: When you update your MeterView Pro soft-

ware, you will be asked if you want to update

the setup les located on the meter itself.

This way, you will always have the most cur-

rent version on the meter for future installs.

Note: The remainder of this guide will explain how to congure your meter using either the MeterView Pro

software or the conguration menus in the meter itself. It is only necessary to perform one of these

options in order to congure the meter for a desired setting.

Program and Scale the Input

Program the Helios meter to accept a 4-20 mA or 0-10 V input and display a value associated with that

range. When the meter is receiving a 4 mA or 0 V input, it will display the low end of the display range;

when receiving a 20 mA or 10 V input, it will display the high end of the display range. The input values

can be changed if needed, but the default values are su󰀩cient for most transmitter types.

For example: If the meter were setup to accept a 4-20 mA input and display the ow of a pipe whose

rate of ow will only ever be between 0 and 100 gal/s, the transmitter would send a 4 mA signal when

there is zero ow and a 20 mA signal when there is max ow. The meter should be programmed to inter-

pret these inputs so that at 4 mA the meter will display 0 and at 20 mA the meter will display 100.
