3½ Digit Backlit LCD Voltmeter Module
Specifications liable to change without prior warning
SP 400
Issue 6
June/2002
M.C.
Applies to SP 400/3
APPLICATIONS
Do not connect more than one meter to the same power supply if the meters cannot use the same signal
ground. Taking any input beyond the power supply rails will damage the meter.
5V supply operation
(3.0 to 7.5V Meter Power Supply)
9V supply operation
(6.0 to 15.0V Meter Power Supply)
SCALING
Two external resistors Ra
and Rb may be used to
alter the full scale reading
(FSR) of the meter - see
table. The meter will have
to be re-calibrated by
adjusting the calibration
potentiometer on the rear
of the module.
