EM32-1B -LED
Round Hole Mounting LED Voltmeter
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The EM32-1B-LED is a 3 ½ digit LED voltmeter which is designed to be panel mounted in most low and medium
volume applications. The meter features 8mmdigitheight,3decimalpoints,auto-polarity,auto-zero, 200mV full
scale reading and a low current consumption. This product is designed so no soldering is required. Connection is
via screw terminals, and options are selected via 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 (LVD 93/68/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 confor ms to the
relevant sections of BS EN 61010 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measuring, Control and
Laboratory Use).

SCREW TERMINAL FUNCTIONS
0V Negative power supply to the meter.
V+ Positive power supply to the meter (+5V nom).
IHI Positivemeasuring input.
IHI must be no closer than 1.5V to either the positive or the internalnegative supply.
ILO Negative measuring input.
ILO must be no closer than 1.5V to either the positive or the internalnegative supply.
Note:
Internal negative supply. This is generated from the supply voltage between V+ and 0V, and is negative
with respect to 0V.
For example: if V+ = +5V (with respect to 0V), then the allowable common mode input range is from
(V+ - 1.5V) to (V-+ 1.5V) or from 3.5V to -3.5V with respect to the 0V power supply connection.
JUMPER LINKS
J1 Connects ILO to COM, when jumper link is fitted.
J2 Connects ILO to 0V, when jumper link is fitted.

SCALING
Two resistors Ra and Rb may be
used to alter the full scale reading
(FSR) of the meter - see table. Cut
the PCB track across Ra before
fitting Ra. The meter will have to
be re-calibrated by adjusting the
calibration potentiometer on the
rear of the module.

APPLICATIONS
Do not connect more than one meter to the same power supply if the meters cannot use the same signal
ground. Taking any input beyond the power supply rails will damage the meter.
