V 600
3½ Digit LCD Voltmeter Module
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The V 600 features a 200mV d.c. measurement range with auto-zero and auto-polarity. Decimal points are user
selectable. The display features a low battery warning annunciator, which can be driven by external circuitry. The
module's low cost meansit will suit most high volume applications.

SAFETY
To comply with the Low Voltage Directive(LVD 93/68/EEC), inputvoltagestothemodule’spinsmustnotexceed
60Vdc. The usermustensurethat the incorporation of thepanel meter into theuser’s equipmentconforms to the
relevant sections of BS EN 61010 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measuring, Control and
Laboratory Use).

PIN FUNCTIONS
1. BP Backplane connection from voltmeterIC.
2. LO BAT LCD connection to "Low Battery"annunciator.
3. DP1 Connect to V+ to displayDecimal Point 1(1.999).
4. DP2 Connect to VDD to displayDecimal Point 2(19.99).
5. DP3 Connect to VDD to displayDecimal Point 3(199.9).
6. ROH Positiveoutput frominternalreference.
7. ROL Negative output from internal reference.
8. COM The ground for the analoguesection ofthe A/Dconverter, heldactively at2.8V(nom) below VDD.
COM must not be allowedto sinkexcessivecurrent(>100 A) by connecting it directlyto ahighervoltage.
9. RFH Positiveinput for reference voltage.
10. RFL Negative input for reference voltage.
11. VSS Negative powersupply connection.
12. INLO Negativemeasuring inputwithreferenceto IN HI.
13. INHI Positive measuring input with referenceto INLO.
14. TEST Connecting thispin toVDD toturnon display segments "-1888".
It should not be operatedfor morethan afewseconds as the DC voltageapplied tothe LCDmay"burn" the display.
This pin is nominally at5V belowVDDandis the ground forthe digitalsection ofthe meter, itcan beused asanegative
supply to power external logicup toamaximumof 1mA.
15. VDD Positivepower supplyconnection.
Solder Links:
BP Normally Open.
BAT Normally Open.
See application diagram on next page.
µ
Analogue inputs must be no closer than 1V
to either the positive or negative supply.

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.
