## **SCALING**
Two resistors Ra and Rb may be fitted in order to alter the fullscalereading(F.S.R.)ofthemeter-seetable. Themeterwillneedre-calibration.

* To ensure maximum accuracy, re-calibrate periodically.
- **Above typically 35°C the display’s viewing angle will progressively reduce, although contrast should remain acceptable when viewed head-on.
## **NOTE**
EnsurethatLinkLaisopeniffittingRa.
## **SAFETY**
To comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD 93/68/EEC), input voltages to the module’s pins must not exceed 60Vdc. If voltages to the measuring inputs do exceed 60Vdc, then fit scaling resistors externally to the module. The user must ensure that the incorporation of the DPM into the user’s equipment conforms to the relevant sections of BS EN 61010 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measuring,ControlandLaboratoryUse).

## **PANEL FITTING**
Locate the meter by passing it through the front of the panel cut-out, and gently push until the rear of the bezel is flush with the panel (DO NOT PUSH ON THE LCD). The snap-in lugs will now automatically hold the meter firmly in position.

**----- Start of picture text -----**
VARIOUS OPERATING MODES
ON-BOARD LINKS: In order to quickly and easily change operating modes for Normally Normally
different applications the meter has several on-board links. They are designed SHORTED OPEN
to be easily opened (cut) or shorted (soldered). Do not connect more than one meter Cut to Solder to
to the same power supply if the meters cannot use the same signal ground. OPEN SHORT
Taking any input beyond the power supply rails will damage the meter.
