DMS-40PC-4/20S

4½ Digit, 4-20mA Input, LED Display Meters

MPM_DMS-40PC-420.E01 Page 1 of 6

The DMS-40PC-4/20S Series' superior design makes them ideal for use in demand-

ing 4-20mA process monitoring applications requiring a full 4½ digits (0-19999) of display

resolution. Their full-size, 0.52" (13.2mm) high, LED displays can be read in virtually any

lighting condition and are available in green, high-intensity red, or low-power red.

Two operating power supply ranges are available: a wide-input +7.5 to 32V model

for use with popular +12Vdc and +24Vdc industrial supplies, and +4.75 to 5.25V models

for use with +5V logic supplies. The reverse-polarity protected +7.5-32V red LED model

consumes only 30mA from a +24V supply, but still provides excellent display brightness.

The DMS-40PC-4/20's input, span, and offset circuits all employ super-stable, ±0.5%

thin-ﬁ lm chip resistors. Long-term stability and accuracy are assured by driving these

tight-tolerance resistors with an ultra-stable, ±0.2% bandgap voltage reference. And, unlike

many competing designs, the two precision 20-turn span and zero adjust potentiometers

do not interact with one another.

All range-change and decimal point selections are made by conﬁ guring two gold-plat-

ed, vibration-resistant, six-position DIP switches. To further enhance reliability, both power

supply and current loop connections are made via reliable screw-type terminal blocks. All

these outstanding features make the DMS-40PC-4/20S Series meters the most rugged 4½

digit LED display process monitors available.

DMS-40PC-4/20S

4½ Digit, 4-20mA Input, LED Display Meters

MPM_DMS-40PC-420.E01 Page 2 of 6

TECHNICAL NOTES

Performance/Functional Speciﬁ cations

Typical at TA = +25°C, unless otherwise noted. (1) Full Scale Input: The DIP Switch settings display readings in Table 1

can typically be obtained with transmitters having a low-level output

of 3.7 to 4.3mA and a full-scale output of 19.4 to 20.4mA. When

using transmitters whose outputs fall outside these ranges, try using

the next highest DIP switch setting if the desired reading is too low,

or the next lowest setting if the desired display reading is too high.

Example number 2 illustrates this point.

Please keep in mind that the DMS-40PC meter from which the

DMS-40PC-4/20S is derived has an accuracy speciﬁ cation of ±3

counts (max.); thus, it may not always be possible to obtain the exact

desired display readings. A change of ±1 count is deﬁ ned as the

right-hand most digit (the"ones" LED) going up or down by one.

Other display readings not shown in Table 1 are obtainable. For

example, some negative readings with a 4mA input are possible.

Consult Murata Power Solutions for more information regarding

display readings not shown in the table.

(2) Loop Impedance/Drop: The maximum loop impedance and the

maximum loop voltage-drop are both speciﬁ ed with DIP switch set-

ting #20 enabled. The maximum loop voltage drop is speciﬁ ed with a

20.0mA input current.

(3) Temperature Drift: Temperature drift of zero and temperature drift

of gain are both speciﬁ ed with the meter conﬁ gured for range #20

with 4mA adjusted (using R3) to read "0000" ±1 count, and 20mA

adjusted (using R7) to read "19000" ±2 counts.

The temperature drift of gain is proportional to the full scale range

being used. It is typically less pronounced at the lower range set-

tings, that is, if the observed gain drift of a particular meter is +12

counts when reading "19000" on range #20 at 40°C, the same

meter will most likely have a drift of only +6 counts when reading

"9000" on range #12 at 40°C.

The normally very accurate autozeroing feature of the DMS-40PC-

4/20S's internal analog-to-digital converter (A/D) is not a factor in

determining the meter's zero-reading stability over temperature due

to the fact that an offset voltage is applied to the A/D's LO input.

This offset voltage is used to null the voltage developed with a 4ma

input. To function properly, the autozeroing feature found in most

digital panel meters requires both A/D inputs to remain at zero volts

with varying temperature. The meter's zero-reading stability over

its speciﬁ ed operating temperature is affected by the drift of three

terms: the voltage developed by the meter's offset circuitry; the volt-

age developed across the meter's input resistor(s) with a 4mA input;

and the stability of the applied 4mA input signal itself. In the lower

DIP switch settings ( ranges #1-4), the meter's parasitic etch and

switch interconnect resistances also contribute a small error.

The meter's performance with regards to span stability over tem-

perature is affected by the drift of the meter's gain circuitry and the

drift of the input resistor(s). To counter these drifts in applications

requiring the utmost in temperature stability, where possible, the

meter should be calibrated at its anticipated operating temperature.

For these applications, use of the DMS-40PC-4/20S-5RL model is

highly recommended because of its inherently lower power con-

sumption and self-heating.

OPERATING AND SETUP INSTRUCTIONS

The following procedure must be performed as the ﬁ rst re-calibration step

every time DIP switches S1 and S2 are changed to select a new display

range. The following procedure also assumes the DMS-40PC-4/20S is

initially completely mis-adjusted, i.e., both potentiometers and both DIP

switches S1 and S2 are randomly set. When performing switch settings,

make sure that the DIP switch's small actuator is pushed up as far as it

will go to ensure that the switch is truly set to the ON (closed) position.

1. Set R7 (gain/span adjust) and R3 (zero/offset adjust) fully clockwise,

roughly 20 turns, then using the settings found in the selected

range, place the DIP switches on S1 and S2 to the appropriate posi-

tions for the desired display reading.

2. Apply a precision 4mA input with proper polarity and adjust R3 (top

20-turn potentiometer) until the meter's display reads "0000".

3. Apply a precision 20mA input and adjust R7 (bottom 20-turn

potentiometer) until the display reads the maximum desired reading.

Repeat steps 2 and 3 to make sure the adjustments did not affect

one another.

Table 1. DIP-Switch Settings

Using the Decimal Point Settings Table as a guide, the DMS-40PC-

4/20S's decimal points can be enabled to suit the user's particular

readout requirements. Place the selected decimal point's DIP switch to

the ON position (up) to illuminate the decimal point. The decimal points

are merely placeholders, that is, they can all be illuminated or all turned

off; they have no affect on the meter's operation and/or display readings.

Since the DMS-40PC-4/20S uses extremely-stable thin-ﬁ lm chip

resistors, periodic re-calibration is typically required only in envi-

ronmentally demanding applications where shock, vibration and

temperature extremes may have a detrimental affect on the 20-turn

potentiometers.

(4) Input Grounding: Except for the “-I” sufﬁ x models which feature

isolated current loop inputs, all other DMS-40PC-4/20S meters are

supplied with their 4-20mA negative-input terminals (TB1-2, “-”)

internally connected to their power supply ground terminal (TB2-2,

“-V”). This single-ended input conﬁ guration is compatible with most

grounded-referenced 4-20mA transmitters.

Applications in which the DMS-40PC-4/20S and its associated

4-20mA transmitter are connected to a common ground and the

transmitter drives two or more loads (for example, the meter is in

series with a PLC) must have the meter connected as the ﬁ rst device

in the current loop, that is, closest to the system ground (see Figure

2). If this connection scheme is not possible and/or the meter must

be connected in the middle of the current loop, then‘-I’ sufﬁ x models

must be used to provide the required isolation between the meter’s

current loop input and the power supply ground (“-V”). See Figures 2,

3, 4, and 5 for typical loop connections.

4. If necessary, select the appropriate decimal point by setting either

SW3, SW4, SW5, or SW6 of S2 to ON (DP1, DP2, DP3, or DP4,

respectively, as shown in Table 2).

NOTE: Please keep in mind that the transmitter's 4mA and 20mA output

accuracy may affect display readings which are at, or very close to, the

high and low extremes of the selected range. See Example #2 below and

Technical Note 1 for more information.

Examples

The examples below illustrate how to conﬁ gure the meter to perform

some typical measurements. Remember to ﬁ rst set R3 and R7 to their

full clockwise position before calibrating the meter.

1. Desired display readings are:

4mA = "0.000"

20mA = "3.000"

Use DIP-switch setting #3 and enable decimal point DP2 by placing

SW4 of switch S2 to ON. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display reads

"0.000". Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads "3.000".

2. Desired display readings are:

4mA = "0000"

20mA = "8600"

Use DIP-switch setting #11. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display

reads "0000". Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads "8600".

If the transmitter's full-scale output is less than 20.0mA, it may not be

possible to adjust R7 for a reading of "8600" with setting #11. If this

occurs, select setting #12 and re-calibrate both R3 and R7 to obtain

"0000" and "8600". Note that for these display readings no decimal

points are used. Set SW3, SW4, SW5 and SW6 on switch S2 to OFF.

3. Desired display readings are:

4mA = "0000"

20mA = "10000"

Use DIP-switch setting #13. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display

reads "0000". Apply 20mA and adjust R7 so the display reads "10000".

For these display readings no decimal points are used. Set SW3, SW4,

SW5 and SW6 on switch S2 to OFF.

4. Desired display readings are:

4mA = ".0000"

12mA = ".2500"

This example is not as straightforward as the previous three. Notice that

12mA is exactly halfway between 4mA and 20mA. If we assume the in-

put could go up to 20mA, the display reading would then be 2 x .2500 or

".5000". From the table, we can select DIP-switch setting #7 and enable

DP1 via SW3 of switch S2. Apply 4mA and adjust R3 so the display reads

".0000". Apply 12mA and adjust R7 so the display reads ".2500".
