SCREW TERMINAL FUNCTIONS
ACV
Alternating voltage measurement input, accepts up to 500V a.c. By changing the values of scaling resistors RA1, RA2 and RB, other voltage and
current ranges can be achieved. To measure in excess of 500V a.c., remove RA1, RA2 and RB from the meter and externally; link RA1 and RA2 on
the meter. See scaling table for suitable values for RA1, RA2 and RB.
ACI
Alternating current measurement input.
See Scaling table for suitable values for shunt resistor RB.
COM
Return line for voltage measurement input (ACV) or current measurement (ACI) input.
COM
Return line for voltage measurement input (ACV) or current measurement (ACI) input.
V+
Positive power supply input.
V-
Negative power supply input.
LP-
Negative supply for LED backlighting.
LP+
Positive supply for LED backlighting.
TST
Connect to V+ to display all segments except decimal points and annunciators.
It should not be operated for more than a few seconds as the DC voltage applied
to the LCD may “burn” the display. This connection is normally at 5V below V+
and is the ground for the digital section of the meter.
HLD
Digital Hold option. Connect to V+ to hold last displayed reading indefinitely.
ALM
Alarm “!” annunciator. Connect to XDP to display.
XDP
Annunciator drive waveform. Used to drive alarm annunciator (ALM) if required.
V+
Auxilliary V+ for connections to decimal points DP1, DP2 or DP3.
DP1
199.9
Connect to V+ to display required decimal point.
DP2
19.99
Connect to V+ to display required decimal point.
DP3
1.999
Connect to V+ to display required decimal point.
To comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD 93/68/EEC), input voltages to the module’s connectors must not exceed 500VRMS. If voltages to be measured
exceed 500VRMS, then fit scaling resistors externally to the module. If the mains power supply is connected to the module, then all the module’s connectors
must be considered to be floating at mains potential. Consequently due caution must be exercised when connecting to the module’s connector functions
under these conditions. 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, Control and Laboratory Use).
