The DMS-40LCD-4/20S’s ultra-low 2.9V typical loop-drop (190-Ohm burden) makes it
ideal for use in 4-20mA process monitoring applications which have two or more series-
connected loop-monitoring devices. The low loop-burden means it can be used in current
loops that are powered from supply voltages as low as +8Vdc! The DMS-40LCD-4/20S is
self-powered; all required operating power is derived directly from the current loop itself.
It requires no separate dc power supply or special grounding considerations and can be
connected ANYWHERE in the loop!
The DMS-40LCD-4/20S’s input, span, and offset circuits all employ super-stable, ±0.5%
thin-film chip resistors. Long-term stability and accuracy are assured by driving these tight-
tolerance resistors with an ultra-stable, ±0.2% band-gap voltage reference. Unlike many
competitor’s designs, the two precision 20-turn span and zero adjust poten- tiometers
do not interact with one another. Its full-size, 0.40” (10.0mm) high-contrast 4½ digit LCD
display offers 19,999 counts of resolution and can be read in virtually any lighting condi-
tion—including full sunlight!
All range-change and decimal point selections are made by configuring two gold-plat-
ed, vibration-resistant, six-position DIP switches. The two connections to the current loop
are made via a reliable, screw-type terminal block. To further enhance reliability, the design
features 100% soldered connections—no troublesome zebra/elastomercic connectors are
used. All these outstanding features make the DMS-40LCD-4/20S the highest quality, most
rugged, 4½ digit, LCD-display process monitor available.

(2) Max. Loop-Voltage Drop/Max. Loop impedance:
The maximum
loop voltage-drop and maximumloop impedance (burden) are both
speci- fied with the meter configured for DIP-Switch setting #20 and
an input loop current of 20.0mA.
(3) Temperature Drift:
Temperature drift of zero and temperature drift of
gain are both specified with the meter configured for range #20 with
a 4mAinput adjusted (using R3) to read “0000” ±1 count, and a 20mA
input adjusted (using R7) to read “19000” ±2 counts at an initial
ambi- ent temperature of 25°C.
The temperature drift of gain is proportional to the selected full-scale
range. It is typically less pronounced at the lower range settings, that
is, if the observed gain drift of a particular meter is +12 counts when
reading “19000” on range #20 at 40°C, the same meter will most
likely have a drift of only +6 counts when reading “9000” on range
#12 at 40°C.
The normally very accurate, temperature-insensitive autozero feature
of the DMS-40LCD-4/20S’s built-in analog-to-digital converter (A/D)
is not a significant factor in determining the meter’s overall zero-
reading stability over its rated operating temperature because an
offset voltage is applied to the A/D’s LOinput. This offset is used to
null the signal voltage developed with a 4mAinput. In order for the A/
Dto display a steady “0000” ±1 digit, the autozero circuitry requires
both A/Dinputs to always be at exactly zero volts.
The meter’s zero-reading stability over its specified operating temper-
ature is affected by the drift of three terms: the voltage developed by
the meter’s offset circuitry; the voltage developed across the meter’s
input resistors with a 4mAinput; and the stability of the applied
4mAinput signal itself. In the lower DIP-switch settings (ranges #1-4),
the meter’s parasitic etch and switchimpedances also contribute a
small error voltage.
The meter’s performance with regards to span stability over tem-
perature is affected by the drift of the meter’s gain circuitry and loop
input-resistors. To minimize these drifts in applications requiring the
utmost in temperature stability, where possible, the meter should be
calibrated at its anticipated operating temperature.
Since the DMS-40LCD-4/20S uses extremely-stable thin-filmchip
resistors, periodic re-calibration is typically required only in envi-
ronmentally demanding applications where shock, vibration, and/or
temperature extremes may have a detrimental effect on the 20-turn
potentiometers.

TECHNICAL NOTES
(1) Full Scale Input:
The Display readings shown in Table 1 can typi-
cally be obtained with transmitters having a low-level output of 3.8
to 4.3mA and a full-scale output of 19.4 to 20.4mA. When using a
transmitter whose output falls outside these ranges and the desired
display read- ings are close to the upper or lower adjustment limits
of the selected DIP-switch setting #, try using the next highest DIP-
switch setting # if, after adjusting R7, the display reading is still too
low, or the next lowest setting # if the display reading is still too high
(see example number 2). Please keep in mind that the DMS-40LCD
meter from which the DMS-40LCD-4/20S is derived has an accuracy
specification of ±3 counts (max.); thus, it may not always be possible
to obtain the exact desired display readings. Achange of ±1 count is
defined as the right-hand most digit going up or down by one.
Display readings other than those shown in Table 1 are obtainable.
For example, some negative readings with a 4mA input are possible.
DECIMAL POINT SETTINGS
Using the chart below as a guide, the DMS-40LCD-4/20S’s decimal
points can be configured to suit the user’s particular readout require-
ments. To enable a desired decimal point place its DIPswitch to the
ON position (up). Please note that the decimal points are merely
placeholders, that is, they can all be on or all off; they do not affect
the meter’s operation and/or display readings.

OPERATING AND SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
The following procedure must be performed as the first re-calibration
step every time DIP-switches S1 and S2 are reconfigured to select a
new display range. The following procedure assumes the DMS-40LCD-
4/20S is initially completely mis-adjusted, i.e., both potentiometers and
DIP-switches S1 and S2 are randomly set. Make sure that all DIP-switch
actuators are pushed as far as they will go to their designated ON
(closed) or OFF (open) positions.
1. Set R7 (gain/span adjust) and R3 (zero/offset adjust) fully clockwise,
roughly 20 turns, then using the settings found in the selected range,
place the DIP-switches on S1 and S2 to the appropriate positions for
the desired display reading.
2. Apply a precision 4mA input with proper polarity and adjust R3 (top
20-turn potentiometer) until the meter’s display reads “0000.”
3. Apply a precision 20mA input and adjust R7 (bottom 20-turn
potentiometer) until the display reads the maximum desired reading.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 to make sure the adjustments did not affect
one another.
4. If necessary, select the appropriate decimal point by setting either
SW3, SW4, SW5, or SW6 of S2 to ON (DP1, DP2, DP3, or DP4, respec-
tively.
NOTE: Please keep in mind the transmitter’s 4mA and 20mA output
accuracy may affect display readings which are at, or very close to, the
high and low limits of the selected range. See Example #2 below and
Technical Note 1 for more information).
Use DIP-switch setting #13. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display
reads “0000.” Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads “10000.”
For these display readings no decimal points are used. Set SW3, SW4,
SW5 and SW6 of switch S2 to OFF.
4. Desired display readings are:
4mA = “.0000”
12mA = “.2500”

This example is not as straightforward as the previous three. Notice that
12mA is exactly halfway between 4mA and 20mA. If we assume the
input could go up to 20mA, the display reading would then be 2 x .2500
or “.5000.” From Table 1, select DIP-switch setting #7 and enable DP1
via SW3 of switch S2. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display reads
“.0000.” Apply 12mA and adjust R7 so the display reads “.2500.”

Examples
The examples below illustrate how to configure the meter to perform
some typical measurements. Recall that R3 and R7 must be set to their
full clockwise position before calibrating the meter.

Use DIP-switch setting #3 in Table 1 and enable decimal point DP2 by
placing SW4 of switch S2 to ON. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display
reads “0.000.” Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads “3.000.”

Use DIP-switch setting #11. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display
reads “0000.” Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads “8600.” If
the transmitter’s full-scale output is less than 20.0mA, it may not be pos-
sible to adjust R7 for a reading of “8600” with setting #11. If this occurs,
select setting #12 and re-calibrate both R3 and R7 to obtain “0000” and
“8600.” Note that for these display readings no decimal points are used.
Set SW3, SW4, SW5 and SW6 of switch S2 to OFF.
