CF138  DCM470Rev.EM1000‐C
Ex. If your application requires a higher bandwidth in order to account for the higher 
frequency signals, such as those from dynamic applications, then you would want to 
use the higher setting bandwidth. 
Current Setting 
(4)
There are four current output settings available on the DCM 470: 0-16 mA, 0-20 mA, 4-
20mA (default), and 5-25 mA. To select the current, simply flip the DIP switches to the 
appropriate configuration. 
Note: Only available with current output option.

(4) Only available with current output option 
Advanced Span and Zero Adjustment 
Adjusting the Zero 
At times, when using a signal conditioner, it is necessary to offset the zero. The DCM 
470 makes this simple. The zero can be adjusted approximately ±10% of R.O. by using 
the potentiometer on board. 
Adjusting the Span 
The input jumpers vary from 0.5 mV/V to 10.0 mV/V. This allows for a large variety of 
input ranges. However, it sometimes happens that the rated output from the sensor is 
not exactly 2.0 mV/V or 3.0 mV/V. The DCM 470 has a ±10% of R.O. adjustment range 
so a sensor with an output close to one of the input ranges will work fine.
