To comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD 93/68/EEC), input voltages to the module’s pins must not exceed 60Vdc. If voltages to the
measuring inputs do exceed 60Vdc, then fit scaling resistors externally to the module. The user must ensure that the incorporation of the DPM
into the user’s equipment conforms to the relevant sections of BS EN 61010 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measuring,
Control andLaboratoryUse).
SAFETY
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. Input filter should be as close as possible to the meter.
Taking any input beyond the power supply rails will damage the meter.
