1.11 Measuring DC voltages and DC currents
• Measuring DC signal ranges
The instrument accepts the measure of DC voltages
and currents, with ranges from 60 mVdc up to 600 Vdc,
covering applicaons with current shunts, tachometric
dynamos, baeries, process, etc. DC currents signals of
up to 5 Adc are accepted, and it has a range of 20 mAdc.
• Bipolar ranges
All signal ranges are bipolar, and the instrument can measure both
the posive and the negave signal.
• Scaling
The instrument allows to scale the reading to 4 digits (9999 / -1999)
with congurable decimal point to any posion. The ‘second scaling’
funcon can also be used (see secon 1.24).
• Maximum oversignal
‘Maximum oversignal’ is the maximum signal accepted by the in-
strument. Higher signal values may cause instrument damage. Low-
er values are non destrucve but may be out of accuracy specica-
ons.
• Response mes
The response me to a signal step is 300 mSeconds, independent of
the signal range selected.
• Terminal 5 ‘mulfuncon’ - External control
Terminal 5 remains congured as ‘EK’ external control funcon. See
secon 1.9 for a list of available funcons.
• Start-up, connecons and jumpers
For instrument start-up follow the steps listed at secon 1.7. Signal
connecons are indicated at secon 1.5. Locaon for internal
jumpers is indicated at secon 1.9.
