3½ Digit LCD Module
The DPM 500 uses advanced components and construction techniques to provide a uniquely compact unit. The meter is in a 40 pin
DIL integrated circuit format that can be plugged directly into a DIL socket or panel mounted using the snap in bezel. For single rail use,
the DPM 500S-BL features a built in negative rail generator, enabling the meter to measure a signal referenced to its own power supply

SAFETY
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).

Fit the bezel to the front of the panel and locate the meter into the bezel from behind. Alternatively the meter and bezel may be assembled before
fitting to the front of the panel but care must be taken not to use excessive force. Finally fit the window into the front of the bezel.

37. TEST
Connecting this pin to V+ turns on the segments as illustrated. It should not be operated for more than a few seconds as the DC
voltage applied to the LCD may "burn" the display. This pin is nominally at 5V below V+ and is the ground for the digital section
of the meter, it can be used as a negative supply to power external logic up to a maximum of 1mA.
40. V+/CLK Normally tied to V+ via Link 12 but can be used to over ride the internal oscillator and control the sample rate by cutting Link 12 and
making Link 13.
LED BACKLIT VERSIONS:
Apply 5V DC to the backlight tab on the side of the meter. Typical current is 30mA. For higher voltages, fit a resistor in series.
E.g. For 9V use 150R. Maximum current = 60mA.
.
SPECIAL NOTE: ANNUNCIATORS:
The DPM annunciators (DPs, °C, etc.) can be displayed by connecting them to XDP However as these
annunciators are normally ‘floating’, under certain conditions they may appear when not wanted. To suppress unwanted annunciators, link them to
the backplane (BP). If the annunciators are being switched, connect them via a 1M resistor to the BP (pin 21). The annunciators will then operate
normally when connected to XDP Ensure that an annunciator is not connected directly to the XDP and BP at the same time.
.
PIN FUNCTIONS
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.
