Lascar SP5-1200-BL 2-Wire Signal-Powered Meter User Manual

The SP 5-1200-BL is an easy-to-mount LCD digital panel meter with a 4 to 25V measurement range and 100mV resolution and is powered from the signal it is measuring. Only valid readings are displayed; the module indicates "LO" at voltages below 4V and "HI" at voltages above 25V. Screw terminals allow for quick and easy connection. The module is panel mounted using the metal clip provided and a rubber seal is included, providing splashproof protection for the unit when fitted to the meter during installation.
