DC Voltage
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.

Compactly designed for applications requiring minimal rear
panel depth, the Falcon fits a standard 1/8 DIN panel cutout (91.9mm x 45mm) and requires less than 3" behind the
panel. A screw terminal connector is a standard feature for
easy wiring of the power supply and signal input connections.

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.

Wiring Diagram

IN HI
IN LO
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.

Decimal Point Selection
From terminal block J112: The decimal point can be set from the
rear screw terminal block J112. Connect the appropriate DP point
(DP 1, 2, 3, 4) to the DIG GND terminal. Internal jumper (J107) should
be removed and stored on the last contact of J107.

From main board: The decimal point can also be selected by
accessing the main board. Move the push-on jumper J107 across
the correct letter.

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.

200V D NO YES NO NO V
* 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.
Example: 200mV input
