User Manual - DPM3 Series Panel Meters Input Configuration The figure below shows the input configuration menu. Divided into four submenus, each one of them separated by the dotted line in the manual, each menu corresponds to the programming of the different types of input: process, load cell, Pt100 RTD and thermocouple. Programming Keys (Bottom view) ENTER: Vertical displacement.
User Manual - DPM3 Series Panel Meters Process input The DPM3 is designed to measure all kinds of process variable with direct indication in engineering units. The parameter to configure as process indicator is the input type, in volts in a -10 V to 10 V range and in milliamperes in a -20 mA to 20 mA range.
User Manual - DPM3 Series Panel Meters A) Reading units in degree Celsius “ºC” or Fahrenheit “ºF”. B) Resolution in tenth of degrees “0.1º” or in whole degrees “1º”. C) Offset. The instrument comes from factory with offset=0 After entering these parameters, the display range and linearization are adjusted automatically. Thermocouple Input When configuring the meter for thermocouple input, the temperature ranges and resolution available are:...
User Manual - DPM3 Series Panel Meters Display Input In order to obtain more accuracy it is recommended to program the highest possible number of points and reduce the segment length. Input values must always be programmed in an increasing or decreasing order. Avoid assigning two different display values to two equal input values.
User Manual - DPM3 Series Panel Meters SCAL method The input and display values are programmed manually. This method can be used when the value of the signal supplied by the transducer at each points of the process is known. tEACH method The input values are introduced directly from actual process values.
