OEM335A 3.5 digit LED voltmeter module
features
Bright, red LED display
Single 5V DC operation.
10.16mm digit height
Decimal point selectable
Self mountable.
Single ended or differential input.
DESCRIPTION
The OEM335A is a complete digital voltmeter module in a
very compact package incorporating a dual-slope
analogue to digital converter, a 100mV reference with
200mV full scale input sensitivity.
The large sized LED makes the module easily readable
from distance away. Auto-zeroing is provided by the
circuit itself, so no zero adjustment is required. The
module also has input polarity and over-range indication.

USER INSTRUCTIONS CONNECTION DIAGRAM BASIC CONFIGURATION
The OEM335A is designed for +5V single rail supply.
Incorrect supply will damage the module.
Apply the input signal between pin 3 (INHI) and pin 4
(INLO). The input range is 0 - 199.9mV.
Over range is indicated by illuminating a "1" in the most
significant digit and blanking the other digits.
It is recommended to use this module with floating inputs
i.e. the low input signal (INLO) must be isolated from the
power supply ground (GND). Where (INLO) must be
referenced to the power supply, connect via a 10KΩ
resistor and a 0.1µF capacitor as shown opposite.
To activate a decimal point, connect the appropriate
decimal point pin to DPcom.
APPLICATION CIRCUITS
DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
To measure voltages greater than 200mV
an attenuator is required.

V
EXAMPLES
VIN Display VD R1 R2
2V 1.999V 199.9mV
10V 1500rpm 150mV
The input impedance becomes R1+R2. Choose accurate stable
resistors. Typically, R1=1MΩ. 9MΩ is a practical upper limit.

MULTI-RANGE DC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
For multi-range, use, a 2 pole,
4 way rotary switch. 1 pole for
range select and the other to
connect the appropriate
decimal point to V+
DC MULTI-RANGE CURRENT MEASUREMENT
For multi-range, use, a 2 pole,
5 way rotary switch. 1 pole for
range select and the other to
connect the appropriate
decimal point to V+
AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENT
The meter can only measure DC. Use the above circuit to convert AC to
DC. For voltages above 200mV AC, a potential divider is required before
the converter circuit as shown in the "Voltage measurement" section
above
