to your indicator/controller.
1.2 Safety Considerations
This device is marked with the international caution symbol. It is important to read this manual before
installing or commissioning this device as it contains important information relating to Safety and EMC
(Electromagnetic Compatibility).
This instrument is a panel mount device protected in accordance with EN 61010-1:2001, electrical safety
requirements for electrical equipment for measurement, control and laboratory. Installation of this instrument should
be done by qualified personnel. In order to ensure safe operation, the following instructions should be followed.
This instrument has no power-on switch. An external switch or circuit breaker shall be included in the
building installation as a disconnecting device. It shall be marked to indicate this function, and it shall be in close
proximity to the equipment within easy reach of the operator. The switch or circuit-breaker shall not interrupt the
Protective Conductor (Earth wire), and it shall meet relevant requirements of IEC 947-1 and IEC 947-3
(International Electrotechnical Commission). The switch shall not be incorporated in the main supply cord.
Furthermore, to provide protection against excessive energy being drawn from the main supply in case of a
fault in the equipment, an overcurrent protection device shall be installed.
• Do not exceed voltage rating on the label located on the top of the instrument housing.
• Always disconnect power before changing signal and power connections.
• Do not use this instrument on a work bench without its case for safety reasons.
• Do not operate this instrument in flammable or explosive atmospheres.
• Do not expose this instrument to rain or moisture.
• Unit mounting should allow for adequate ventilation to ensure instrument does not exceed operating
temperature rating.
DFI INFINITY CS (V- M3598/N/0906) 2 CF 70
• Use electrical wires with adequate size to handle mechanical strain and power requirements. Install
without exposing bare wire outside the connector to minimize electrical shock h azards.
EMC Considerations
• Whenever EMC is an issue, always use shielded cables.
• Never run signal and power wires in the same conduit.
• Use signal wire connections with twisted-pair cables.
• Install Ferrite Bead (s) on signal wires close to the instrument if EMC problems persist.
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings may result in injury!
2.0 ABOUT THE METER
2.1 Description
The Digital Programmable Strain meter is a value packed indicator/controller. Four full digits and broad scaling
capability allow for a display in virtually all engineering units. A wide variety of DC current and voltage input ranges
cover typical strain applications. Standard features include sensor excitation and front panel or remote tare. Your
meter may be a basic indicator or it may include analog output or dual relay output. Analog or dual relay output
must be ordered at time of purchase. Analog output is fully scalable and may be configured as a proportional
controller, or to follow your display. Dual 5 amp, form C relays control critical processes. A mechanical lockout has
been included to guard against unauthorized changes.

2.6 Disassembly
You may need to open up the meter for one of the following reasons:
DFI INFINITY CS (V- M3598/N/0906) 6 CF 70
• To check or change the 115 or 230 Vac power jumpers.
• To install or remove jumpers on the main board.
Disconnect the power supply before proceeding.
To remove and access the main board, follow these steps:
• Disconnect main power from the meter.
• Remove the back case cover.
• Lift the back of the main board upwards and let it slide out of the case.
3.0 GETTING STARTED
Caution: The meter has no power-on switch, so it will be in operation as soon as you apply power.
If you power off/on the meter, or perform a hard reset (press the RESET button twice), the meter shows
followed by
.
3.1 Rating/Product Label
This label is located on top of the meter housing (refer to Figure 3-4).
3.2 Main Board Power Jumpers (Refer To Figure 3-1)
Important: If you want to change the Factory preset jumpers, do the following steps, otherwise go to
Section 3.3.
Warning: Disconnect the power from the unit before proceeding. This device must only be reconfigured
by a specially trained electrician with corresponding qualifications. Failure to follow all instructions and
warnings may result in injury!
1. Remove the main board from the case. Refer to Section 2.6.
2. Locate the solder jumpers W1, W2, and W3 (located near the edge of the main board alongside the
transformer).
3. If your power requirement is 115 Vac, solder jumpers W1 and W3 should be wired, but jumper W2 should
not. If your power requirement is 230 V ac, solder jumper W2 should be wired, but jumpers W1 and W3
should not.
Note: W4 jumper is not used.
Figure 3-1 shows the location of solder jumpers W1 through W3.
Figure 3-1 Main Board Power Jumpers
Figure 3-2 shows the location jumper positions on the main board.

S2 jumpers are used for testing purposes. Do not use as reading errors may result.
S3 jumpers are used for the following (refer to Figure 3-2):
• To enable or disable the front panel push-buttons
• To allow for an extremely low resistance load button for analog output
• To disable the MENU button
• To perform factory calibration procedure
Test pins TP1 – TP11 are for testing purposes. Do not use as reading errors may result.
S4-A factory default jumper is removed.
