INTRODUCTION
The Dart DM4000 Series is available in two basic field programmable models:
DM4004 - RATE BASED DISPLAY - Displays the rate of shaft rotation in RPM, GPM, FPM, etc.
DM4005 - PROCESS TIME DISPLAY - Displays the time of the process, based upon shaft rotation.
STANDARD FEATURES
The DM4000 Series features a sturdy 1/8DIN aluminum housing with gasketed faceplate kit for panel mount. It will accept a variety
of signal inputs, and is field programmable via dip switches. The compact series provides a five position barrier terminal strip for
ease of connection and a large 1/2" four digit LED display, including customer selectable decimal points. Self-contained power
supply for transducer of +5VDC and 75mA output.
Works in conjunction with a transducer
The Dart PU-E pick-up is recommended for use with the DM series, however the DM4000 will accept inputs from a variety of
transducer types. Included are hall-effect, photo-electric, magnetic, TTL, or any +5 to 24VDC device. See “Pick-up Selection Chart”
on page 3.
Operates on either a 50 or 60 Hertz signal
The DM4000 Series comes standard for a 60 Hertz signal, but can be easily changed to 50 Hertz by using the “Field Programming
Formula” on page 4. This program simply changes the time base settings, substituting 3000 for 3600 in the Field Programming
Formula. This compensates for the change in the clock frequency from 60 Hertz to 50 Hertz.
