The Falcon Series digital indicators are premium
quality 1/8 DIN meters for industrial applications. All Falcon
units feature jumper-selectable decimal point (internal and
on the connector for remote decimal point) and display scaling, providing wide application flexibility. In addition, signal
input ranges are easy to change with jumpers on the main
board. The Falcon has a 0.56" bright red LED display for
high visibility.

Mounting Requirements
The Falcon series 1/8 DIN indicators require a panel cutout of 1.77"
(45mm) high by 3.62" (91.9mm) wide. To install the Falcon into a panel
cutout, remove the clips from the side of the meter. Slide the meter
through your panel cutout, then slide the mounting clips back on the
meter. Press evenly to ensure a proper fit.
Engineering Label Placement
If replacement of the engineering unit label is required, place the tip of a
ball-point pen into the small hole at the base of the engineering label in
the bezel. Slide the label up until it pops out. Grasp and remove. Slide
the new label half the distance in, then use the ball-point pen to slide it
down into place.

Input Signal: Connect the signal to be monitored to the IN HI and IN
LO terminals. These are terminals #1 and #2.
Supply Power: Connect the power to terminals #11 and #12. Note
that if AC power is applied, terminal #11 is for neutral, and terminal
#12 is for hot. If DC power is used, terminal #11 is for -DC, and #12
is for +DC.
Display Hold: This feature allows you to hold the displayed value
indefinitely. A remote switch or computer, etc. can be used to activate
this feature. To activate feature, short circuit terminal block J112, pins
3 and 4 (Hold and DIG GND). This connection must be kept isolated
from other circuitry. To hold multiple units, separate poles of the switch
must be used to maintain the isolation.
These instruments are designed for maximum safety to the operator when
mounted in a panel according to instructions. They are not to be used
unmounted or for exploratory measurements in unknown circuits.

Voltage Range Selection
All Falcon Indicators are configured initially per the customer specified
part number. Range changes can easily be accomplished as follows:
Disconnect power and pop the front bezel off with a small screwdriver,
taking care to keep the gaskets in place. Unscrew the main board from
the case with a Phillips head screwdriver, and slide the main board out.
Note: If a new range is selected, the calibration procedure must also be performed. Only perform this section if a different function or range is required.

* 750 Volt range may be configured upon order by factory or Authorized Service Center
Note: JU101 is a hard wire jumper and can be removed by cutting it.
Resoldering the JU jumpers is not recommended. If this is required, or if
a function is to be changed from volts to current, Simpson recommends
returning the Falcon to the factory or an Authorized Service Center.
After moving the jumpers to the desired location, put the Falcon back
together and install in your panel, or proceed to calibration.
Note: See diagram in Decimal Point Selection panel for J106 jumper
location.

Display Scaling
The Falcon display can be easily scaled to a broad range of engineering
units. The meter can be scaled down to
the front bezel with a small screwdriver. The scaling procedure is performed at terminal J1 located on the left side of the display board. There
are four sets of pins of J1. Each group of pins programs a particular
parameter of the scaling procedure when a push-on jumper (supplied
with the Falcon) is momentarily placed across a set of pins.
Before scaling the parameters, begin by disconnecting power to the
Falcon. Place push-on jumper onto “SET UP” pins C and 2, then apply
power. At this point, the Falcon performs a self test (scrolls LED display)
and then indicates LoE, allowing you to enter the low electrical input
value.
The scaling parameters for electrical low input value (LoE), electrical high
input value (HiE), display low value (Lo), and display high value (Hi) are
performed as follows:
Remove push-on jumper from C-2 and then replace. Numeral zero or
digit of LoE value (set at the factory) and flashing decimal point are
displayed at starting LED position. The digit to be entered is always to
the left of the flashing decimal point. The flashing decimal point is moved
one position each time the push-on jumper is momentarily placed across
“set up” pins C and 2. Change the value at the LED position chosen by
momentarily placing jumper across “up” pins C and 3. This will increase
the value by 1 for each repetition. Repeat jumper placement until the
desired value is displayed. To decrease a displayed value, momentarily
place jumper across “DOWN” pins C and 4.
After the desired numeric value is obtained, remove the jumper and
momentarily place it across the “ENTER” pins C and 1. This will store
the value in memory and move on to the next parameter. Repeat this
procedure through each parameter.
After programming the last parameter (Hi) of the scaling procedure, LED
will display “END” and then indicate scaled value of the electrical input to
the meter. The unit is now in run mode.
Note: During programming, the flashing decimal point is considered
as a cursor only. The placement of the digits in the positions 1 to 5 is
important, and dependent on the set input range.

Enter-Saves digits displayed and advances
to next scaling parameter when jumper
makes momentary contact with pins 1 and
C.
UP-Changes digit displayed to next ascending value when jumper makes momentary
contact with pins 3 and C.
DOWN-Changes digit displayed to next
descending value when jumper makes
momentary contact with pins 4 and C.
SET UP-Starts scaling cycle of the four
scaling parameters (LoE, HiE, Lo and Hi)
and selects digit to be entered to the left of
the flashing decimal point on display when
jumper makes momentary contact with pins
2 and C.

Excitation Output
An optional feature of the Falcon is a 12 or 24VDC output. The Falcon is
set at the factory per your order to include an excitation plug-in printed
circuit board. This PCB, located on the main board, can be reconfigured by moving push-on jumper J201 to change the excitation output.

Calibration
The unit is calibrated at the factory per order. If you selected another range and moved
the jumpers, your Falcon will need to be recalibrated. If parameters (HiE, etc.) are
changed, scaling must be performed prior to calibration.
1) Remove the bezel with a small screwdriver.
2) Apply a full scale input signal to the instrument.
3) Adjust the potentiometer R1 located on the upper left-hand side of the display board
until display shows the full scale voltage.
4) Replace bezel carefully.
Application Example
A manufacturing plant requires a low cost digital meter to replace an analog panel
meter on a 150VDC motor. The upgrade is required because the operator requires a
display hold feature that is not available on the analog model.
A Falcon 3-1/2 digit indicator (200DCV) can fit this application. The meter needs no
additional scaling before being installed into the panel. A switch is required for the
display hold option, as one is not supplied by Simpson.
The meter is installed in parallel with the motor like the analog meter, and is ready to
be placed in the panel. The Falcon is less than 3" deep, fitting well into the restricted
panel space. It will take up about as much space as the analog meter it replaced. In
addition, display hold is a standard feature on the Falcon. By shorting connections #3
and #4, the operator can hold the display to take a reading, and then remove the short
to reactivate the indication mode. A switch can be used to short the connections.
The meter is shipped ready to install, keeping down-time to a minimum.

External shunts enable digital panel
meters to indicate higher DC currents
than can be provided with self contained
internal shunt meters. The shunt is
installed in series with the load and the
source. The shunts provide a DCmV
drop which is sent to the display unit.
The Falcon can be scaled to display the
actual current load between the load
and the source. Simpson offers portable and switchboard shunts.
Each portable shunt includes 5’ leads.
