Introduction
The DP10 is a panel mounted, multi-purpose signal conditioner that allows the operator easy access
to make adjustments to system operations. The DP10 may be used in OEM equipment designs, plant
operation or laboratory applications. Most other signal conditioners are DIN rail mounted inside a panel
and designed to be set up once - many applications require frequent adjustments to meet application
needs. The DP10's unique front-panel design addresses this by making output adjustment easily
accessible via convenient up and down pushbuttons with a large, easy to read LED display.
General Features

- Universal power supply accepts supply voltages of 85-265VAC @ 50-60Hz without switches or
jumper settings.
- Transient voltage protection protects device in harsh industrial environments
- 1/8 DIN panel mount is rated up to NEMA 4X in similarly rated panel
- Large 4 digit, 1/2” LED display is easy to read in indoor or outdoor applications

Basic Operating Information
The DP10 Signal Conditioner is a panel-mounted multiple function device used to either attenuate
(scale or reduce), convert, or generate control signals typically used in laboratory/R&D or plant/industrial
applications. The input signals are analog in nature and specifically in the 0-5VDC or 4-20mA range.
The output signal can be either 4-20mA or from 0.1Vdc to the Vset voltage (5-20VDC).
Visual Reference
Figure 4
The Up/Down buttons are used to Scale or Set the output level, in percent (default). The Minimum
Scaling/Generator output is 0.0%. The Maximum Scaling/Generator output is 100.0%. On power up,
the factory default setting is "Last Value".
When lit, the annunciator LED’s across the top of the DP10 indicate the following:
SCL: Scaling mode is active and depending on jumper configuration, either a current or voltage will be
output. In current output mode the Display setting and the input Current or Voltage effects the 4-20mA
output. In Voltage output mode the Display setting, the maximum level set by the potentiometer R9
adjustment and the input Current or Voltage effects the output Voltage level; see appropriate sections
for proper hardware and software setup.
Gen: Generate mode is active and depending on jumper configuration, either a current or voltage will
be output. In Current output mode only the Display setting effects the 4-20mA current output. In Voltage
output mode, the Display setting and the maximum level set by the potentiometer R9 adjustment
determine the output level; see appropriate sections for proper hardware and software setup.
SPL: The DP10 is in Set Point Lock; this effectively disables any changes until IN1/IN2 input levels
change according to the functional configurations. Various modes are available with SPL, please see
appropriate sections for proper setup.

How to Change a Parameter's Value (The Short Story)
1. Hold down the Enter button until Parameter-Selection Mode is entered (Parameter 'P 0'
Displayed)
2. Using the Up and Down buttons, select the desired parameter number to view or edit
3. Press the Enter button to change the value of the parameter
4. Using the Up and Down buttons, change the parameter's value as desired
5. Press the Enter button to permanently save the changes (Return to Parameter-Selection Mode)
6. Select parameter zero and press the Enter button to return to Running Mode
Operating the User Interface (The Long Story)
The LED display has three basic operating modes: Running Mode, Parameter-Selection Mode,
and Value Mode. Each of the three modes have specific visual indicators that allow the user to
immediately determine the current state or mode of the user interface. Parameter-Selection Mode
and Value Mode can only be entered if the Program Enable jumper is in the 'P/EN' position.
Running Mode is the default display of the unit when power is applied. The display shows the
target value in the appropriate user-defined format. The Up and Down buttons increase or decrease
the displayed target value until either the display minimum or display maximum limit is reached.
Parameter-Selection Mode can be entered by simply pressing and holding the Enter button down
for three seconds. Once in Parameter-Selection Mode, the far left of the display will be a ‘P’. The
right side of the display will indicate the currently selected parameter number for editing purposes.
Pressing the Up or Down button will increase or decrease the selected parameter number on the
display. Although the parameter numbers are in numerical order, some numbers are skipped.
These skipped numbers represent reserved parameters that are not yet implemented and are
not displayed. Once the desired parameter number is displayed, a press of the Enter button will
change the display to the Value Mode.
Value Mode is used to modify the value of the selected parameter. When in Value Mode, the
two dots which form the colon between digits two and three, will alternately flash (one, then the
other.) Pressing the Up or Down button increases or decreases the selected parameter’s value.
See the Software Parameters for a list of allowable values and ranges. Value changes take effect
immediately. Once the desired value is showing in the display window, pressing the Enter button
again will return to Parameter-Selection Mode. The new value is not saved in permanent memory
until the Enter button is pressed. Removing power from the unit while in Value Mode may result
in the specified new value being lost.
The front panel Annunciators will be perform as follows:
Parameter 10 = 1; ‘Gen’ annunciator lit
Parameter 10 = 2; ‘SCL’ annunciator lit
Parameter 30 = 7, IN1 = Low; ‘SCL’ annunciator lit
Parameter 35 = 7, IN2 = High; ‘SCL’ annunciator lit

Device Configuration
Configuration is accomplished via jumper settings and (for Voltage Outputs only) a trimpot adjustment.
Location is as follows:
Figure 5
With the display set to 100.0 and no user device connected to ‘V-OUT’, P3-5 (-) and P3-6(+), adjust
R9 for the desired maximum V-OUT. Finally, connect the user device and carefully re-adjust R9 to
trim the output to desired maximum V-OUT. This will prevent the output from exceeding the limits of
the user device if done properly. The user should evaluate what their system will be doing during this
adjustment to prevent any harmful results.
Mode of Operation
There are three Modes of Operation for the DP10, established by the JP1, JP3, and JP4 jumper settings:
1. JP1 - If the DP10 is receiving a signal to be Scaled or Converted, this setting defines the
input signal type (0-5Vdc or 4-20mA Current) (Optional high input voltage or PWM).
2. JP3 - Determines the Output Signal type - Vdc or mA Current. MUST be same type as JP4
3. JP4 - Determines the Output Signal type - Vdc or mA Current. MUST be same type as JP3
The four jumper settings allow the DP10 to operate as:
• 4-20mA Input/Scaled 4-20mA or 0.1-20Vdc Output
• 0-5Vdc Input/Scaled 4-20mA or 0.1-20Vdc Output
• No Input/Generator 4-20mA or 0.1-20Vdc Output
Note: Both JP3 and JP4 must be set correctly.
