SCALING
Two resistors Ra and Rb
may be used to alter the
full scale reading (FSR) of
the meter - see table. The
Voltage
Vin 200V 1M 1k
meter will have to be recalibrated by adjusting the
calibration potentiometer
on the rearof the module.
Current
Iin 20mA 0R 10R
*Ensure that Ra is rated for high voltage use.
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 thepower supply railswill damage the meter.
