SAFETY

Red
V+
Positive power supply connection.
2.
Black
GND
Negative power supply connection.
3.
Yellow
IN HI
Positive measuring input with reference to GND.
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 unit into the user ’s equipment conforms to the relevant sections of BS EN 61010 (Safety
Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measuring, Control and Laboratory Use).
VOLTAGE SCALING
Two resistors Ra and Rb may be added in order
to alter the full scale reading (FSR) of the meter -
see table and diagrams below. The meter may
be re-calibrated by adjusting the calibration
potentiometer at the rear of the module.
CURRENT SCALING
A current shunt Rs may be added in order to
alter the full scale reading (FSR) of the meter -
see table and diagrams below. The meter may
be re-calibrated by adjusting the calibration
potentiometer at the rear of the module.
The module shown is an EMV 1025S-0 2

FSR
Current: Rs = 200mV
(e.g. 10m
/ 4W for
=20A)
Calibration:
First calibrate the current range, by adjusting the meter's own calibration
potentiometer. Then calibrate the voltage range, by adjusting the R
potentiometer.

Do not connect more than one meter to the same power supply if the meters cannot use the same signal ground. Do not connect IN HI to a voltage greater than
(V+ - 1V )or to a voltage lower than (-(V+) + 1V) if the meter is unscaled, as this may damage the meter. Keep leads short to ensure noise-free operation. To
maximise measurement accuracy, use high precision (1%), low temperature drift (50ppm/°C or better) scaling resistors (Ra, Rb and Rs).

* Consult 7805 voltage regulator manufacturer's datasheet for minimum and maximum allowable input voltage ratings.
* Subject to a minimum order quantity of 50
pcs., pre-scaled modules are available from
Lascar. See stock number table on the front of
this datasheet. Customer-specific scaling options
may also be available on request. Contact Lascar
sales office for details.
** We recommend that purpose made shunts
are used for these ranges.
