Series  DPMA-5 Adjustable  Panel  Meter offers a  large  1˝,  3-1/2  digit
display  for  easy  viewing  in  a  standard  1/8  DIN  package. Unit  accepts
voltage inputs with a wide bipolar span and zero adjustment. Standard
features  include  field  selectable  engineering  units  and  decimal  point
positions. Choose from red, amber, or green segments for easy viewing
at  a  distance.  A separate  24 VDC  power supply  is required  for the
operation of the backlight. 
INSTALLATION
The Series DPMA-5 is designed to snap into a 3.62˝ (92 mm) W x 1.77˝
(45 mm) H panel cutout. No additional hardware is required.
WIRING
Three sets of jumper pins are located on the back of the meter.  Move
the  jumper to  fit over  the appropriate  pins which  correspond to  the
desired signal input voltage, supply voltage and decimal point position.
An external 12 or 24 VDC power supply is required to power the meter
and should be connected to the screw terminal marked with “+pwr-” (see
Figure 2).  The backlighting requires a separate 24 VDC power supply
and should be connected to terminals identified with “+B/L-”.
