PIN FUNCTIONS
1. LP-
Negative power supply to LED backlighting.
2. LP+
Positive power supply to LED backlighting.
3. V-
Negative power supply connection.
4. V+
Positive power supply connection.
5. -5V
Output from negative rail generator circuit. This output is an inversion of V+ (DPM 950S only).
6. TEST
Connect to V+ to display all segments except DPs. It should not be operated for more than a few seconds as the D.C. voltage applied to
the LCD may 'burn' the display. This pin is normally at 5V below V+ and is the ground for the digital section of the meter. It can be
used to power external logic up to a maximum of 1mA.
7. IN LO
Negative measuring differential input. Analogue inputs must be no closer than 1V to either positive or negative supply. The negative
8. IN HI
Positive measuring differential input.
supply of the DPM 950S is generated internally and mirrors the positive supply voltage.
9. COM
Ground for the analogue section of the A/D converter, it is actively held at approximately 2.8V below V+ and must not be allowed to
sink excessive current (>100 A) by, for instance, connecting to a higher voltage.
11. REF LO
Negative input for reference voltage. Can be connected to COM via link 3.
12. REF HI
Positive input for reference voltage. Connected via link 1 to internal reference.
13. XDP
Annunciator Drive Waveform, this is an inversion of the backplane.
14. DP1
199.9
15. DP2
19.99
Connect to V+ to display required Decimal Point or short corresponding DP link.
16. DP3
1.999
18 & 32. BP
LCD backplane drive waveform.
23. REF-
Negative output from internal reference.
24. REF+
Positive output from internal reference.
25. LO BAT
Used to control the low battery annunciator externally, cut link 12 and take to V+ to turn on annunciator.
The annunciator turn on point can also be set by adjusting the BAT potentiometer (R10), in which case do
not connect to this pin and leave link 12 intact.
26. REF BG
Output from internal bandgap reference. (Factory fitted option.)
27.
Alarm annunciator, cut link ALM and take to XDP to display.
28. :
Colon annunciator, cut link COL and take to XDP to display.
29. -
Polarity annunciator, connected via link 11 to polarity output of IC1. Cut link 11 and either take to XDP to
display or make other side of link 11 to hold off.
30. POL
Polarity output of IC1.
31. CLK
May be used to override the internal oscillator and control the sample rate. Link 14 must then be made.
µ
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 Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measuring, Control and Laboratory Use).
SAFETY
VARIOUS OPERATING MODES
ON-BOARD LINKS: In order to quickly and easily change operating modes for different applications,
the meter has several on-board links. They are designed to be easily opened (cut) or shorted (soldered).
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.
