SP 100
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
3½ Digit LED Voltmeter Module
The SP 100 features a 200mV d.c. measurement range with auto-zero and auto-polarity. Decimal points are user
selectable. The SP 100 features a negative rail generator which enables the meter to measure a signal referenced to its
own power supply 0V. The bright red LED display ensures excellent readability under low light conditions. It can be
blanked in applications requiring low power operation. The module is easily fitted into the panel, using the fixing clip
provided. The module's low cost means it will suit high and low volume applications. The design of the panel meter's
housing and seal ensures splash proofing in many applications.

SAFETY
To comply with the Low Voltage Directive (LVD 93/68/EEC), input voltages to the module’s pins must not exceed
60Vdc. The user must ensure that the incorporation of the panel meter into the user’s equipment conforms to the
relevant sections of BS EN 61010 (Safety Requirements for Electrical Equipment for Measuring, Control and
Laboratory Use).

PIN FUNCTIONS
Positive power supply to the meter.
Display Enable. Connect to V+ for normal operation.
Do not connect to enter low power mode. The display is then blanked, but the voltmeter section
continues to operate. In low power mode, the current consumption is reduced to 400
µ
A (typ).
3. 0V
0V power supply connection to the meter.
4. DP3 Connect to 0V to display DP3 (199.9).
5. DP2 Connect to 0V to display DP2 (19.99).
6. DP1 Connect to 0V to display DP1 (1.999).
7. R I
Reference voltage input for the meter's A/D converter.
8. RO
Precision reference voltage output. Connect to RI for normal operation.
9. T
Connect to V+ to test the display. All segments will be displayed, except for decimal points.
10. COM Ground for analogue section of A/D converter.
It is actively held at 3.05V (nom) below V+ and must not be allowed to sink excessive current
(>100
µ
A) by, for instance, connecting to a higher voltage.
11. INH Positive measuring input.
12. INL Negative measuring input.
Note:
A negative supply is generated internally and mirrors the positive supply. For example: if V+ is +5V, then
the internally generated V- is -5V. When measuring with the input referenced to the same supply rail as
that of the panel meter, then the limitations on the input range are (V- + 1.5V) to (V+ - 1.5V).

SCALING
Two resistors Ra and Rb
may be used to alter the
full scale reading (FSR) of
the meter - see table. The
meter will have to be re-
calibrated by adjusting the
calibration potentiometer
on the rear of the module.

APPLICATIONS
Do not connect more than one meter to the same power supply if the meters cannot use the same signal
ground. Taking any input beyond the power supply rails will damage the meter.
