Decimal points are user selectable. The DPM 1AS-BL features a negative rail generator which enables the meter to measure a signal referenced to its own power supply GND. LED backlighting ensures excellent readability under low light conditions. The design of the panel meter's housing allows the module to be easily snapped into a panel. The module's low cost means it will suit high and low volume applications. The DPM 1AS-BL is intended to replace the DPM 1, DPM 1S, DPM 1-BL and DPM 1S-BL in many applications, usually requiring only minor circuit modifications. ## **FEATURES** - 5.5mm (0.22") Digit Height - 200mV d.c. Full Scale Reading - 3.0 to 7.5V or 6.0 to 15.0V Operation - Auto-zero and Auto-polarity - • Programmable Decimal Points • LED Backlighting ## **TYPICAL APPLICATIONS** - Precision Instrumentation Systems - Power Supply Monitoring - Hand held instruments ## **ORDERING INFORMATION** Stock Number Standard Meter **DPM 1AS-BL** - Panel-Mount Indication - Low Power Voltage Measurement ## **ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS** |**Specification**|**Specification**|**Min.**|**Typ.**|**Max.**|**Unit**| |---|---|---|---|---|---| |Accuracy (overall error)*|||0.1||%(±1 count)| |Linearity||||±1|count| |Sample rate|||2.5||samples/sec| |Operatingtemperature range||0||50|°C| |Temperature stability|||250||ppm/°C| |Meter supply voltage|V+ to GND

Unless otherwise noted, specifications apply at T =25°C, V supply =5Vd.c. (f clock =48kHz) and are tested with the module configured for single ended input mode. ## **SAFETY** To comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD 93/68/EEC), input voltages to the module’s pins must not exceed 60Vdc. The user must ensure that the incorporation of the panel meter into the user’s equipment conforms to the relevant sections of BS EN 61010 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measuring, Control and LaboratoryUse). **==> picture [483 x 59] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
