96mm

To install the instrument, prepare a 92mm x 45mm panel
cut-out and slide the unit inwards making sure to place the
sealing gasket between the front side panel and the front
bezel.

While holding the unit in place, put the fixing clips on both
sides of the case and slide them through the guide tracks
until they reach the panel at the rear side.

Press slightly to fasten the clips to the latching slots on the
case and get the unit fully assembled and close fitted to
achieve a good seal.

To remove the instrument from the panel, pull the rear
fixing clips latching tabs outwards until they are disengaged,
then slide the fixing clips back over the case.

WARNING: To minimize the risk of potential safety problems, you should follow all applicable local and national
codes that regulate the installation and operation of your equipment. These codes vary from area to area and it is
your responsibility to determine which codes should be followed, and to verify that the equipment, installation,
and operation are in compliance with the latest revision of these codes.

Equipment damage or serious injury to personnel can result from the failure to follow all applicable codes and
standards. We do not guarantee the products described in this publication are suitable for your particular applica­tion, nor do we assume any responsibility for your product design, installation, or operation.

If you have any questions concerning the installation or operation of this equipment, or if you need additional
information, please call us at 1-800-633-0405 or 770-844-4200.

This publication is based on information that was available at the time it was printed. At Automationdirect.com®
we constantly strive to improve our products and services, so we reserve the right to make changes to the products
and/or publications at any time without notice and without obligation. This publication may also discuss features
that may not be available in certain revisions of the product.

WARNING! Electric shock danger

1. Keep away from high-voltage and high-frequency environment during the installation to prevent interference.
Avoid using the device in environments which contain: (a) dust or corrosive gas; (b) high humidity or high
radiation; (c) shock or vibration

2. Make sure the input power is switched off when installing or uninstalling the DPM3 to prevent harm to
personnel or equipment.

3. Before switching on the input power, check the signal connection, e.g. the input voltage and polarity. Voltage
that is too high may cause damage to the DPM3.

4. Front cover should be cleaned only with a soft cloth soaked in neutral soap product. DO NOT USE
SOLVENTS.

5. Outputs remain active in Programming Mode.

Warning: If this instrument is not installed and used in accordance with these instructions, the protection provided by it

against hazards may be impared. To meet the requirements of EN 610101-1 standard, where the unit is permanently
connected to main supply, it is obligatory to install a circuit breaking device that is easily reachable by the operator and

clearly marked as the disconnecting device.

To guarantee electromagnetic compatibility, the following guidelines should followed:

• Power supply wires should be separately routed from
signal wires and never ran in the same conduit.

• Use shielded cable for signal wiring.

• Cable cross-section must be ≥0.25mm²

Before connecting signal wires, signal type and input range should be verified to be within the proper limits. Do not
connect more than one input signal to the meter simultaneously.
