level meter (17-dot LED)

This level meter monitors the output voltage of
OUTPUT1 4 The green LED at the middle
comes on when the output voltage is within

approx.

100 mV. When the output voltage exceed

10.5 V, the LED at the over-voltage side blinks.

③

Digital monitor (Four digit 1/2)

This monitor digitally displays the output voltage of
OUTPUT2 5 . When OUTPUT2 level adjustment
volume (18) is turned clockwise, [10.000] is indicated

in response to an output of 10 V. In combination
with (18), 2 tons can be displayed as [2.000] when

the transducer converting 2 tons to 10 V is used. For

decimal point shift, refer to page 3-7.
