Seven-Model, Low-Cost DPM Delivers Rugged Performance April 2000 Issue Published Date: April 01, 2000
The 1000 Pro Series of digital panel meters (DPMs) can measure AC and DC volts and current, as well as accommodate scalable process and frequency inputs, providing what the company terms rugged reliability at low cost for most process display needs. All seven models in the series offer several jumper-selectable input ranges and operation with 24, 115, or 220 vac power. Each model provides a bright red, 0.56" high, 3-1/2 digit LED display and comes in a 1/8 DIN package (panel cutout of 3.62"W x 1.77"H). The high-DC current model requires 60 mV, 100 mV, or 150 mV shunts; the high-AC model requires 1A or 5A current transformers (shunts and transformers sold separately). An optional dual alarm and DC excitation power supply providing 30 mA at 10 vdc is also available. All models in the series offer input accuracy of ±1 digit, or 0.5% of full scale. Each model, with the exception of the frequency indicator, which allows an input of 0-1 kHz, may be easily configured by the user for any of several input ranges. The display's decimal point may be moved by means of a jumper behind the detachable faceplate. The DPMs are priced from $149.
