DPM
1AS-BL
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3½ Digit Backlit LCD Voltmeter Module
The
DPM
1AS-BL
features a 200mV d.c. measurement range with auto-zero and auto-polarity. Decimal points are user
selectable. The DPM 1AS-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 1AS-BL is intended to replace the DPM 1, DPM 1S, DPM 1-BL and
DPM 1S-BL in many applications, usually requiring only minor circuit modifications.

SAFETY
To comply with the Low Voltage 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).

Positive power supply to the meter.
0V power supply to the meter (3.0 to 7.5V meter power supply applications only).
Negative power supply to the meter (6.0 to 15.0V meter power supply applications only).
Connect to the meter's negative supply voltage to switch on the LED backlighting.
For meter supply voltages above 5V, add a series resistor Rs.
See Applications for suitable circuit diagrams.
5. INHI Positive measuring input.
6. INLO Negative measuring input.
7. DP1
Connect to XDP to display DP1 (199.9).
8. DP2
Connect to XDP to display DP2 (19.99).
9. DP3
Connect to XDP to display DP3 (1.999).
10. XDP
Connect to pin 7, 8 or 9 to display required decimal point.
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).
Solder Links:
LCOM
Normally Open. Connects INLO to COM.
LXDP
Normally Closed. Cut this link to disable the internal decimal point drive circuit and thereby
reduce the meter's current consumption.

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.

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.
