SCANNER CARD
The optional scanner, GDM-SC1A, lets you
effectively measure multiple channels when
connected to a GDM-8255A, GDM-8261 or
GDM-8261A multimeter. Up to two GDM-SC1A
scanner cards can be installed into the GDM-8255A
or one GDM-SC1A into the GDM-8261 or
GDM-8261A. If two scanner cards are installed,
one can be selected as the master scanner, and the
other as the slave.

16 general purpose channels are available, 8 on the left row,
8 on the right row. Current (ACI, DCI) measurement uses
2 extra channels. All channels are fully isolated (Hi and Lo).

GDM-SC1A Scanner Card
When 2 scanner modules are installed in the
GDM-8255A, 2 groups of 18 channels each are
available. The scanner modules have a jumper to
configure which scanner is for which group. If only
one scanner is installed, the scanner should always
be configured to group 1(CH101~CH118).
The GDM-8255A can have up to 2 scanner modules
installed, whilst the GDM-8261/GDM-8261A can
have only 1 scanner module installed.
Select group
(Jumper J8)
(Preset
MASTER)
Set the jumper J8 in the center of the board
accordingly. Move the jumper to the right for
selecting CH1xx (101 ~ 118), and move to the left
for selecting CH2xx (201 ~ 218). If two scanners
are installed, set one scanner to Master (CH1xx) and
the other to Slave. If only one scanner is installed,
set the jumper to Master.

(Jumper J9)
(Preset Enabled)
Set the jumper J9 on the rear side of the board
accordingly. Move the jumper up to disable the
scanner, and down to enable the scanner.

junction points
(Jumper J10)
(Preset Disabled)
Set the jumper J10 on the Bottom left of the
board accordingly. Move the jumper up (COLD
COMPEN) for selecting CH1 to Enable the Cold
Junction, or down(CH1) for selecting CH1 to
Disabled the Cold Junction.

The temperature sensor provides a positive slope
output of 10 mV / °C
The temperature sensor voltage output (Vout)
calculates given temperature (Ta):
Ta = (Vout – Voffs) / Tc (Equation)
where
• Vout is the temperature sensor voltage output for a
given temperature
• Ta is the given temperature °C
• Tc is the temperature coefficient 10mV/ °C
• Voffs is the temperature sensor voltage offset =
500mV
Example
The temperature sensor voltage 0.785V
Ta = (0.785 – 0.5 ) / 0.01 = 28.5°C
The calculates given temperature 28.5°C
