1.1 INTRODUCTION
The EME1D1-005-R2 is an isolated digital DC volt meter which can be used to monitor and log DC voltage readings from
batteries and other equipment. It can also be used to integrate third-party sensors that have DC voltage output.
The Isolated Digital Voltmeter can be used to create custom data collection systems. The user can input a DC voltage
range from -60 to 0 volts or from 0 to +60 volts DC.
The sensor incorporates an isolated ground for better safety and protection against overvoltages and short circuits.
Readings are available in both an absolute value and a percentage of full scale. Full scale is user programmable with both
the base and top voltages from -60 to +60 volts DC. All readings are given with a resolution of one decimal point.
Our Digital Voltmeter can measure DC voltage in the range 0 to 60 volts or -60 to 0 volts, and the web interface is both
flexible and easy to use.
If you want to measure a DC voltage greater than +/-60V, you can find a DC Voltage Transducer that suits your purpose
and integrate it into the unit as a “custom sensor.” You can use a transducer with a 4-20mA output and connected to
our 4-20mA converter, or you can use it with an analogue DC output signal connected to our Isolated DC Voltage Sensor.
Once connected, our web interface allows you to display the readings as their measured values, for example, 0 -1000V.
A popular OID for the Digital Voltmeter is the current reading. For the Isolated Digital Voltmeter plugged into Sensor Port
#1 that OID is .1.3.6.1.4.1.3854.1.2.2.1.17.1.3.0
1.2 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
This manual provides the user with a step-by-step guide on how to configure and set up the sensor. It contains sections
that form “mini tutorials.” These cover the basic set up and common unit configurations, and they provide an introduction
to the sensor’s most useful features.
