PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The EM32-1B is a 3 ½ digit LCD voltmeter which is designed to be panel mounted in most low and medium
volume applications. The meter features 8mm digit height, 3 decimal points, auto-polarity,auto-zero, 200mV full
scale reading and a very low current consumption. This product is designed so no soldering is required.
Connection is via screw terminals, and options are selectedvia jumper links. The module features a round metal
bezel, requiring a 32.5mm (1.28") diameter cut-out. It is secured with the nut provided. Protection from the front
to IP 67 / NEMA 4X standards is achieved by placing the rubber seal between the module and panel during
assembly.

SAFETY
To comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD93/68/EEC), input voltages to the module’s pins must not exceed
60Vdc. The user must ensure that the incorporation of the panel meter into the user’s equipment conforms to the
relevant sections of BS EN 61010 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measuring, Control and
Laboratory Use).

Default configuration Re-configured
L1 L1
Solder Link L1 is used to select to power supply mode of the
EM32-1B.
With L1 in the default configuration, the module operates from a
3.5 to 6.5Vd.c. supply, and measurements can be made with
respect to power supply 0V.
When L1 is re-configured, the module operates from a 7.5 to
14.0Vd.c supply. The voltage being measured must then be
floating with respect to the meter's power supply.

SCALING
Two resistors Ra and Rb
may be used to alter the
full scale reading (FSR) of
the meter - see table. The
track across Ra must be cut
for on-board scaling. The
meter will have to be recalibrated by adjusting the
calibration potentiometer
on the rear of the module.
