This super-low drop means its nominal loop resistance (burden) is less than 100 Ohms! All operating power is derived solely from the 4-20mA loop current—no separate power source is required! The simple 2-wire hookup allows the DMS-20LCD-4/20 Series to be connected anywhere in the loop All decimal-point and range-change selections are made via a six-position DIP switch featuring vibration-resistant, gold-plated contacts—there are no jumpers or solder gaps to ever open or close. Both gain (span) and offset (zero) adjustments are performed with precision, 20-turn potentiometers. Three different models are available for unipolar, bipolar, and positive display reading applications. The DMS-20LCD-4/20’s DIP switch and adjustment potentiometers can accommodate literally hundreds of different input-current/ output-reading combinations. And, connections to the current loop are made via a reliable, two-position, screw-type terminal block. The DMS-20LCD-4/20 Series’ subminiature package houses a large, 0.37"/9.4mm high digits, LCD display that can be read in virtually all lighting conditions—including direct sunlight. An optional bezel assembly, featuring screw fasteners and a rubber seal, simplifies panel mounting and provides excellent resistance to environmental dust and moisture. All these outstanding features combine to make the DMS-20LCD-4/20 Series the perfect meters for OEM 4-20mA current-loop process monitoring instrumentation.

OPERATING AND SETUP INSTRUCTIONS DMS-20LCD-4/20S (Unipolar Reading Model) As shipped, the DMS-20LCD-4/20S is factory calibrated to read "000" for a 4mA input and "1000" for a 20mA input. The following worst-case procedure assumes the DMS-20LCD-4/20S is completely mis-adjusted, i.e., both potentiometers and the DIP switches are randomly set. When www.murata-ps.com NOTE: If a display reading other than "000" to "1000" is desired, refer to DIP–Switch Settings Table 1 for SW1–SW3 settings. Examples (DMS-20LCD-4/20S-Unipolar Model) 1. Desired display readings are: 4mA ="0.00" 20mA = "6.00" ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 Use DIP-switch setting #3 in Table 1 and enable decimal point DP2 via SW5. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display reads "0.00". Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads "6.00". 2. Desired display readings are: 4mA = "000" 20mA = "800" ON 1 2 4 3 5 6 Use DIP-switch setting #2 in Table 1. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display reads "000". Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads "800". For these display readings, no decimal points are used. Set SW4, SW5 and SW6 to OFF. 3. Desired display readings are: 4mA = ".000" 12mA = ".250" ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 This example is not as straightforward as the previous two. Notice that 12mA is exactly halfway between 4mA and 20mA. If we assume that the input could go up to 20mA, the display reading would then be: 2 x .250 or ".500". From Table 1 we can now select DIP-switch setting #4 and enable DP1 via SW4. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display reads ".000". Apply 12mA and adjust R7 so the display reads ".250".

Off On Off Off On Off Off On Off On Off Off Off On On ON 4mA = "–450" 20mA = "450" When looking up DIP-switch settings in the Tables and the desired display readings can be achieved with either of two different settings, using the higher setting # will produce less sensitive offset (R3) and span (R7) adjustments. Please keep in mind that the DMS-20LCD standard meter (from which the DMS20LCD-4/20 is derived) has an accuracy specification of ±2 counts (max.). Thus, it may not always be possible to obtain the exact desired display reading. 4 3 5 6 ON 4mA = "–650" 20mA = "650" 1 2 4 3 5 6 Notice that these readings can be obtained using either DIP-switch setting #1 or DIP-switch setting #2 in Table 2. In situations like this where DIP-switch settings overlap, less-sensitive R3/R7 adjustments can be achieved if the higher DIP-setting # is selected (setting #2 in this example). Apply 12mA and adjust R3 so the display reads "000". Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads "650". Apply 4mA and verify that the display reads "–650". Repeat adjustment procedure if necessary. The DMS-20LCD-4/20B's zero-offset circuit differs from the unipolar 'S' model described above in that with the 'B' model, a half-scale 12mA input is normally set to display "000". Therefore, all of the of the DIP-switch settings in Table 2 assume a reading of "000" is desired with a 12mA input. Display readings other than those shown in Table 2 are possible, contact DATEL for more information. The procedure below illustrates how to calibrate the DMS-20LCD-4/20B to its factory-calibrated readings of "–1000" with a 4mA input and "1000" with a 20mA input. When performing DIP-switch settings, be sure the DIPswitch's small actuators are firmly engaged in their fully-ON or fully-OFF positions. 2 3. Desired display readings are: DMS–20LCD–4/20B (Bipolar Reading Model) When configuring the DMS-20LCD-4/20B for the first time, or when selecting a new range, set both R3 and R7 fully clockwise (roughly 22 turns) to their minimum offset/minimum-span positions, respectively. Then select the desired readings from Table 2 and configure DIP-switches SW1, SW2, and SW3 accordingly. 1 Use DIP-switch setting #2 in Table 2. Apply 12mA and adjust R3 so the display reads "000". Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads "450". Apply 4mA and verify that the display reads "–450". Repeat adjustment procedure if necessary. For these display read ings, no decimal points are used. Set SW4, SW5 and SW6 to OFF. Table 2.

Set both R3 and R7 fully clockwise. DMS-20LCD-4/20P (Positive Reading Model) 2. Select DIP-switch setting #1 from Table 2. The DMS-20LCD-4/20P’s Zero-Offset circuit is optimized to produce positive readings at both 4mA and 20mA input levels. As shown in Table 3’s first three columns, a 4mA input can be typically adjusted (using R3, Zero/Offset Adjust) to display any positive reading between “000” and “800”. The corresponding 20mA-input reading is then added to the 4mA offset as a differential whose magnitude is varied by adjusting R7 (Gain/Span Adjust). 3. Apply a precision 12mA input and adjust R3 until the meter's display reads "000". 4. Apply a precision 20mA input and adjust R7 until the meter's display reads "1000". 5. Apply a precision 4mA input and the display should read "–1000". Repeat steps 3 and 4 to make sure the two adjustments did not affect one another. Examples (DMS-20LCD-4/20B-Bipolar Model) 1. Desired display readings are: 4mA = "–1.00" 20mA = "1.00" ON 1 2 3 4 5 6 Use DIP-switch setting #5 in Table 2 and enable decimal point DP2 via SW5. Apply 12mA and adjust R3 so the display reads "0.00". Apply www.murata-ps.com The ‘Differential Range’ column in Table 3 lists the nominal differential display-readings which can be obtained with R7 at, or very close to, its full-clockwise, minimum span position. The Differential Range column can be used as a guide when configuring the meter for the majority of user applications. Higher differential ranges are obtainable; however, the use of higher differential readings results in correspondingly-lower positive readings with 4mA inputs, that is, R3’s clockwise adjustment-range is reduced. Example #3 below illustrates this concept. Please contact DATEL if there is any doubt as to whether or not the DMS-20LCD-4/20P can be configured for your display readings requirements.

The next step is to calculate the required display differential-reading; this is accomplished by subtracting the desired 4mA display reading from the desired 20mA display reading, disregarding decimal points. Then, using the calculated differential display-reading to select the appropriate DIP-switch setting # from Table 3, configure DIP-switches SW1, SW2, and SW3 accordingly. Make certain that the DIP-switch’s small actuators are firmly engaged in their fully-ON or fully-OFF positions. The procedure below describes how to calibrate the meter for an application which the DMS-20LCD-4/20P easily accommodates: displaying the output of a 4-20mA transmitter, that is, "04.0" with a 4mA input and "20.0" with a 20mA input. 1. Set R3 fully counterclockwise (minimum offset position) and R7 fully clockwise (minimum differential span position), roughly 22 turns. 2. Subtract 040 from 200 to yield a differential value of 160; use this value to select DIP-switch setting #5 in Table 3. Enable decimal point DP3 by placing SW6 to the ON position. 3. Set the transmitter’s output to 4.0mA and carefully adjust R3 clockwise until the meter’s display reads “000”. 4. Set the transmitter’s output to 20.0mA and adjust R7 counterclockwise until the meter’s display reads “16.0”. 5. Set the transmitter back to 4.0mA and slowly adjust R3 clockwise until the display reads “04.0”. Reapply 20.0mA and the display should now read “20.0”. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 to make sure the adjustments did not affect one another. Table 3. DMS-20LCD-4/20P (Pos.

Desired display readings are: ON 4mA = “650” 20mA = “950” 1 2 4 3 5 6 Use DIP-switch setting #4 in Table 3 since subtracting 650 from 950 yields a differential value of 300. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 until the display reads “000”. Apply 20mA and adjust R7 until the display reads “300” (the differential value previously calculated). Apply 4mA and adjust R3 until the display reads “650”. Apply 20mA and verify that the display reads “950”. ON 2. Desired display readings are: 4mA = “4.00” 20mA = “19.99” 1 2 3 4 5 6 This example illustrates the DMS-20LCD-4/20P’s capability to display higher differential readings than those indicated in Table 3. This example also illustrates how the DMS-20LCD-4/20P can be used to display the output levels of a 4-20mA loop transmitter with higher precision (0.01mA versus 0.1mA) than described above. Subtracting 400 from 1999 yields a differential of 1599, a value not listed in Table 3. However, use DIP-switch setting #1 in Table 3 since this setting has the highest overall offset/span adjustment capabilities. Enable DP2 via SW5 then apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display reads “0.00”. Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads “15.99”. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 until the display reads “4.00”. Apply 20mA and check to see that the display reads “19.99” or just overranges (“1—“). Repeat adjustment procedure if necessary. Table 4.
