OEM 1B
3½ Digit LCD Voltmeter Module
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The OEM 1B uses the latest miniaturisation techniques to produce a very compact 3 ½ digit LCD voltmeter. It is
designed to be a drop-in component in most medium and high volume applications, ranging from personal
instrumentation and integral sensor indicators to measurement probes. The meter features 8mm digit height, 3
decimal points, auto-polarity, auto-zero, 200mV full scale reading and a very low current consumption.
Connection tothe module is via two dual in line rows of pins.

SAFETY
Tocomply 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 conforms to the
relevant sections of BS EN 61010 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measuring, Control and
Laboratory Use).

SCALING
Two resistors Ra and Rb
may be used to alter the
full scale reading (FSR) of
the meter - see table. The
meter will have to be recalibrated 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.
