Instruction Manual
Specifications liable to change without prior warning DPM 500 Issue 4 July/1999 M.C. Applies to DPM 500/7
Links 1, 2, 3, 4 SHORTED.
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.

SPECIAL NOTE: ANNUNCIATORS:
1, 40. V+ Positivepowersupply.
2 -7, 12-14, 17, 38, 39 See
15. - Input for the polarity annunciator. Internally linked to POL (pin 20). If this is to be externally controlled, cut link 11.
16, 18, 19, 22 XB3, E3, AB, XG3. Outputsfor use in auto-ranging applications.
20. POL Drive for "-" annunciator. Internally connected by link 11.
21. BP LCD backplane drive waveform.
23. DP3 1.999
24. DP2 19.99 See
25. DP1 199.9
26. V- Negative power supply. Notethatif the DPM 500S-BL isbeing used, the voltage between V+ and V-mustnot exceed6.5V.
27. XDP Connect to required annunciators/DPs (see note).
28. -5V Outputfromnegative rail generator circuit. This output is an inversion of V+ (DPM 500S BL ONLY).
29. BG Input for bandgap reference. (1.22V nom).
30. IN LO Negative measuring input. Analogue inputs must be no closer than 1V to either the positive or negative supply. Thenegative
31. IN HI Positive measuring input. supply of the DPM 500S-BL is generated internally and mirrors the positive supply voltage.
32. COM The ground for the analogue section of the A/D converter, held actively at 2.8V (nom) below V+. COM must not be allowed to sink
excessive current (> 100 A) by connecting it directly to a higher voltage.
33. REF- Negative output from internal reference.
34. REF+ Positiveoutputfrom internal reference.
35. REF LO Negative input for reference voltage.
36. REF HI Positiveinputfor reference voltage.
37. TEST Connectingthispin 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 themeter, 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.
Apply 5V DC to the backlight tab on the side of the meter. Typical current is 30mA. Forhigher voltages, fit a resistor in series.
E.g. For9Vuse 150R. Maximum current = 60mA.
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.
