1 Introduction
This manual addendum contains information on the PM5 optional outputs. This manual is supplied
whenever a PM5 panel meter is supplied with an optional output fitted. Refer to the standard
manual for the PM5 model purchased for information not covered in this addendum.
Note: Not all options are available on all instruments. Check the instruction manual or brochure
for the instrument to be used to see which options are available or contact supplier.
1.1 Input Output Configuration
If you need to alter the input or output configuration link settings proceed as follows:
Remove earth screw
which passes through the
case then slide out
the printed circuit board
1. Remove the plug in terminals
from the rear of the instrument
2. Remove the 4 x self tapping screws from
the back cover then remove the back cover
by pulling it away from the instrument
3. Remove the earth screw which passes
through the underside of the case then
slide out the board or boards
4. Configure the PCB links as requred, see appropriate chapter
5. Slide PCB back into case
6. Replace the earth screw which passes through the case
7. Refit the back cover and fix with the self tapping screws
8. Plug the terminal strips back into the rear of the instrument

retransmission plus extra relay (form C, rated at 240VAC, 3A into resistive
load)
3.1 Electrical Connections
All electrical connections are at the rear of the instrument. The plug in screw connectors used allow
for wire of up to 2.5mm2. Connect across D and F for 24V/10V or across E and F for 12V/5V or
across D and E for -12V/-5V. Refer to “Electrical Installation” chapter in the main PM5 manual
for general information on electrical connections.
