The meter is fitted with high efficiency LEDs which, together with the integral red filter, give a high contrast display with 19mm (0.75") digit height. The meter can be easily scaled by the user to indicate volts, amps or other engineering units and maybeusedinsingle-ended,differential,ratiometricorfloatinginputmodes. - **19mm (0.75“) Digit Height Programmable Decimal Points** - **Auto-zero** - **Auto-polarity 200mV d.c. Full Scale Reading (F.S.R.)** ## **SCALING** Two resistors Ra and Rb may be fitted on the module in order to alter the full scale reading (F.S.R.) of the meter - see table. The meter will need re-calibration byadjustingthecalibrationpotentiometer. |**Required F.S.R.**

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 RequirementsforElectricalEquipmentforMeasuring,ControlandLaboratoryUse). **==> picture [475 x 295] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

ON-BOARD SOLDER LINKS: In order to quickly and easily change operating
modes for different applications the meter has several on-board solder links. Normally Normally
