Input Signal:

 Connect the signal to be monitored to the IN HI and IN

LO terminals.  These are terminals #1 and #2.

Supply Power:

 Connect the power to terminals #11 and #12.  Note 

that if AC power is applied, terminal #11 is for neutral, and terminal 

#12 is for hot.  If DC power is used, terminal # 11 is for -DC, and #12 

is for +DC.

Display Hold:

 This feature allows you to hold the displayed value in-

definitely.  A remote switch or computer, etc. can be used to activate 

this feature.  To activate feature, short pins 3 and 4 (HOLD and DIG 

GND).  This connection must be kept isolated from other circuitry.  

To hold multiple units, separate poles of the switch must be used to 

maintain the isolation.

These instruments are designed for maximum safety to the operator 

when mounted in a panel according to instructions.  They are not to 

be used unmounted or for exploratory measurements in unknown 

circuits.

Decimal Point Selection

Wiring Diagram

Voltage Range Selection

All Falcon Indicators are configured initially per the customer specified 

part number.  Range changes can easily be accomplished as follows: 

Disconnect power and pop the front bezel off with a small screwdriver, 

taking care to keep the gaskets in place.  Unscrew the main board from 

the case with a Phillips head screwdriver, and slide the main board out. 

Note: If a new range is selected, the calibration procedure must also be 

performed. Only perform this section if a different function or range is 

required.

Note:

  JU101 and JU102 are hard wire jumpers and can be removed by 

cutting them. Resoldering the JU jumpers is not recommended.  If this is 

required, or if a function is to be changed from volts to current, Simpson 

recommends returning the Falcon to the factory or an Authorized Service 

Center. After moving the jumpers to the desired location, put the Falcon 

back together and install in your panel, or proceed to calibration. 

Note:

 See diagram in Decimal Point Selection panel for J106 jumper 

location.

From terminal block J112:

 The decimal point can be set from the 

rear screw terminal block J112.  Connect the appropriate DP point 

(DP 1,2,3,4) to the DIG GND terminal.  Internal jumper (J107) must be 

removed.
