DIRECT CURRENT METER READOUT
should remain in the “OFF” position. The Input Range Jumper is set to the
current range being applied. It is possible to select a range higher than being
applied to get lower resolution. The Decimal Point switches are set to resolution
of the selected Input Range Jumper.
SCALING CURRENT METER READOUT

being measured can be generated by a transducer that senses the variations and
delivers a linear output voltage. To provide the desired readout at the specified
current, the current meter must be scaled.

Scale Potentiometer does NOT affect the calibration of the meter.) Place the
Decimal Point Switches to the proper location. The Input Range Jumper is set
to the current range being applied. Apply the meter power and the current signal.
Adjust the Scale Potentiometer to the desired value. Scaling to obtain a
numerical readout higher than the normal value of the current can also be
accomplished, in most cases, by selecting a lower current range. However, the
maximum current for the range must not be exceeded. (See Specifications for
maximum input currents.)

Input Calibration
calibrated. Also verify that the precision signal source is connected and ready.
Allow a 30 minute warm-up period before calibrating the meter.
1. Place jumper in 2 V range (PAXLV) or 2 mA range (PAXLI).
2. Set the DIP switch off to disable the scaling pot.
3. Apply half scale input signal.
4. Adjust calibration potentiometer as necessary for the display to read 1000
5. Apply zero signal and ensure display reads zero.
6. Apply full scale signal and ensure display reads 1999.
Note: Any individual range may be recalibrated (scaled) to 0.1% accuracy with
current to 120.0 mA maximum. However, in this application, the display is to
indicate percent of load current with 120.0 mA equivalent to 100.0 percent.
The scale potentiometer is adjusted to reduce the normal 120.0 mA signal
input display reading of 120.0 to indicate the desired reading of 100.0 on the
display. Scaling to obtain a numerical readout higher than the normal value
of the current can also be accomplished in most cases by selecting a lower
current range. However, the maximum current for the range must not be
exceeded. (See Specifications for maximum input currents.)
Before starting, verify that the Input Range Jumper is set for the range to be
