DESCRIPTION
The MDMV is a small panel or printed circuit board mount digital voltmeter.
With advantages of accuracy, size, and ease of installation, it is an ideal
replacement for analog meters. The unit has a 3½-digit LCD display with 0.4"
(10.2 mm) high digits. The displays are available in positive image reflective
(black digits, reflective background) or negative image transmissive (illuminated
digits, dark background) with red or yellow/green backlighting.
The integrated circuit is bonded directly to the printed circuit board and is
mechanically protected. Internal electrical interface connections use elastomeric
connectors to provide a corrosion resistant connection. This reliable construction
also reduces the space requirements.
The MDMV module is designed to operate from a +5 VDC supply. The
module measures input voltages from 0 to ±199.9 mV DC relative to the supply
common.
Auto-zeroing is provided by the module, therefore no zero adjustment is
required. If the input signal exceeds the input range, the unit display will
indicate an overrange condition.
The module has three selectable decimal point positions and five selectable
annunciators (BAT,V,A,m,μ). The BAT (Battery) annunciator is used to indicate
a low battery condition, while the others are used to indicate Volts and Amperes.

WIRING CONNECTIONS
The electrical connections are made via
terminal pins located on the back of the
unit. The terminal pins are on 0.100"
center lines and can be mated with the
RLC Model HWK7 cable assembly or
many standard 0.100" center line
connectors. When wiring the unit, refer to
Figure 3 to identify the wire position with
the proper function.
There are certain considerations that
should be observed when running the
signal wires. A length of wire can act like
an antenna, and the closer it is to a source
of electrical noise, the more it becomes
FIGURE 3
susceptible to that noise.
These are a few rules that should be followed when running these wires.
1. Never run signal wires in the same conduit or raceway with A.C. power lines,
conductors feeding motors, solenoids, SCR controls, heaters, etc.
2. Signal wires within enclosures should be routed as far away as possible from
contactors, control relays, transformers, and other noisy components.
3. When shielded wire is used, connect the shield to the common of the MDMV
unit, and leave the other end of the shield disconnected and insulated from
machine ground.
4. Connect common of the MDMV to machine ground at one point only.
INSTALLATION
The MDMV meters are available in either a panel mount or printed circuit
board mount design. The panel mount units are provided with a mounting clip
to securely hold the unit in the panel cutout.
Panel mount installation:
Cut panel opening to
specified
dimensions.
Remove burrs and clean
panel opening.
2. Install MDMV unit through
panel cutout as shown in
Figure 1.
3. Slide mounting clip over rear
of unit until clip is against
back of panel. The unit has
slots for the locking tabs to
hold it in the panel opening.
Note: Hold the MDMV front
bezel in place when sliding
the mounting clip in to
position.

MDMV SIGNAL INPUT
The MDMV signal input range is from 0 to ±199.9 mVDC with automatic
zero adjustment. Signal inputs are not floating. The calibration does not require
adjustment, since the unit has been calibrated at the factory.
If the input signal exceeds 200 mV, the module will go into an overrange
condition. The unit will display a minus sign when the input high terminal is
negative with respect to the input low terminal.
*
Note: All annunciators must be tied to either BACK PLANE or
BACKPLANE
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS:
This assembly contains electronic circuits
that are damaged by static electricity. Before handling the assembly,
discharge stray static electricity on your body by touching an earth ground
point. It is also important to handle the unit by the bezel assembly only.
Additionally, if it is necessary to handle a circuit board, be certain that hands
are free from dirt, oil, etc., to avoid circuit contamination that may lead to
malfunction.

DESCRIPTION
PART NUMBER
To indicate various voltages in a multi-range application, it may be necessary
to switch the decimal point position and activate the appropriate annunciators.
This can be accomplished by connecting the appropriate annunciator terminals,
and the
back plane.
and the backplane terminals to a multi-position rotary
switch.
