Introduction
Your Gems DM21 Rate Meter with Total is one model in a family of 1/8 DIN units
which offers breakthrough display technology as well as easy-to-program single-line
parameters. Designed to provide instant visual feedback regarding an application's
key input value, the DM21 not only has a 0.71" high LED display (27% larger than
other 1/8 DIN units), but also the ability to change display color based on process
status (programmable parameter in Operation Mode). Easy programming is made
possible via a help function and a secondary legend display.
This manual will guide you through the installation and wiring of your DM21 unit
with information on proper panel mounting and rear terminal layout and wiring
instructions. In addition, the instrument's operation and programming modes are
thoroughly explained. The Operation Mode provides day to day operation and
allows editing of preset values. The Program Mode enables the configuration of
various parameters prior to initial operation. These parameters include those for
basic configuration as well as other settable features which will enhance the
functionality and usability of
the device.
This manual also provides
information on the DM21
