DAG-M4V 5. Brief description The panel meter instrument DAG-M4V is a 5-digit device for direct current / direct voltage signals and a visual threshold value monitoring via the display. The configuration happens via four keys at the front. The integrated programming interlock prevents unrequested changes of parameters and can be unlocked again with an individual code.

DAG-M4V Function chart: 9. Setting up the device 9.1 Switching on Once the installation is complete, you can start the device by applying the voltage supply. Before, check once again that all electrical connections are correct. Starting sequence For 1 second during the switching-on process, the segment test (8 8 8 8 8) is displayed followed by an indication of the software type and, after that also for 1 second the software version.

DAG-M4V Operating current By operating current the alarm S1-S4 is off below the threshold and on on reaching the threshold. Quiescent current By quiescent current the alarm S1-S4 is on below the threshold and switched off on reaching the threshold. Switching-on delay The switching-on delay is activated via an alarm and e.g.

DAG-M4V 13. Sensor alignment offset / final value The device is equipped with a semi-automatic sensor calibration (SENSu / SENSa). A switching output operated the trimming resistor, which exists in some sensors. An adjustment of offset and final value takes place, after which the sensor can be used directly.
