6. Note
Any signal cables connected to this device must not
exceed 30 metres in length. If signal cables are installed
that are routed outside the building, it will be necessary to
install additional surge protection devices.
7. Analogue Inputs and Internal Reference
Voltage
IN HI, IN LO and REF HI are all differential inputs. They
respond to the voltage across them and not to the voltage
with respect to the power supply. The only exception to
this is in 5V mode where the analogue common and VSS
have been connected together. There is a limit to the
voltage which can be measured using a differential input
and this is known as the common mode range.
The internal reference voltage (REF HI) is set by the
potentiometer VR1. The voltage is factory set at 100.0 mV
but may be trimmed to suit individual applications, e.g. to
compensate for the inaccuracy of external resistors when
using scaling configurations.
8. Power Supply Selection
The modules can be operated with 5 or 9 V DC supply
voltage. In 5V operation no separation of measuring and
supply voltage is necessary. In 5V operation, however, the
low battery function must be disabled. In 9V operation, it
may be enabled or disabled. The desired operating mode
is activated by open or closed LK solder bridges on the
printed circuit board of the module.

10.Configuration
The instruments are configured for the respective
application circuit by setting LK solder bridges and pin
connections on pin header CN1. The measuring range is
configured by attaching external resistors. With the
DPM962, the resistors can also be soldered internally to
positions RA and RB. A 0 Ω SMD resistor is attached for
RA, which must be removed before the THT resistors can
be soldered.
0.1% resistors are required to maintain an accuracy of
0.1%. This may be relaxed if an accuracy less than this is
required.
