DPM 3AS-BL
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3‰ Digit Backlit LCD Voltmeter Module
The DPM 3AS-BL features a 200mV d.c. measurement range with auto-zero and auto-polarity Decimal points are user
.
selectable. The DPM 3AS-BL features a negative rail generator which enables the meter to measure a signal referenced
to its own power supply GND. LED backlighting ensures excellent readability under low light conditions. The design
of the panel meter’s housing allows the module to be easily snapped into a panel. The module’s low cost means it will
suit high and low volume applications. The DPM 3AS-BL is intended to replace the DPM 3, DPM 3S, DPM 3-BL and
DPM 3S-BL in many applications, usually requiring only minor circuit modifications.

SAFETY
T comply with the Low V
o
oltage 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 panel meter 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).

Note:
A negative supply is generated internally and mirrors the positive supply. For example: if V+ is +5V then the internally generated V-
,
is -5V When measuring with the input referenced to the same supply rail as that of the panel meter, then the limitations on the input
.
range are (V- + 1.5V) to (V+ - 1.5V).

LREF
Normally Closed. Enables the internal voltage reference circuit. Cut this link when using an external voltage reference.
BAT
Normally Open. Disables the Low Battery warning annunciator. Cut this link and add a low battery detection circuit
to enable the Low Battery warning annunciator via Pin 11 (BAT).
DP1
Normally Open. Close this solder link to enable decimal point DP1.
DP2
Normally Open. Close this solder link to enable decimal point DP2.
DP3
Normally Open. Close this solder link to enable decimal point DP3.
