AM-Series
The AM-30 is a 31-segment 5VDC powered red, green, or amber LED bargraph in a compact DIN case (96x24mm) with a short depth (56.5mm/2.23"). It can be ordered in either a horizontal or vertical format. Single or dual setpoints are available as options. The setpoints are easily adjustable by the user from the front of the meter.
There are seven header selectable input ranges of 50mV, 100mV, 200mV, 1V,5V,10V and 4-20mA. The meter comes standard with a scale of 0 100%, but any required scale and unit of readout can be specially ordered. The meter may also be ordered with a dot mode display option.
The AM-30 uses a 30-pin PCB edge card connector or optionally a Push-OnTM screw terminal connector may be used (see ordering information on page 8). This bargraph is designed especially for use in process applications where a low cost visual analog indication is required.
AM-30/AM-30R1/AM-30R2 with DC Volt Input.
The AM-Series have a matching DIN case style that is complementary to the Lynx, Leopard and Tiger family of meters. AM-Meters are the OEMs choice for economical switchboard and process indication. For economy, each model is dedicated to a specific application and designed for quick and easy installation.

The Texmate model AM-30 interconnects by means of a standard PC board edge connector having two rows of 15 pins on 0.156" centers. Connectors are available from Texmate or from almost any connector manufacturer.
Rear View of Meter
REAR VIEW OF CASE AND CONNECTOR
Pins A, B, 1 and 2 - These pins are internally connected together. The 5VDC @ 300mA is connected here to power the AM-30.
Pins C, D, 3 and 4 - These pins are internally connected together. They are the Power Supply Ground pins.
Pins E, F, 5 and 6 - These are the Signal Ground (Input Lo) Pins. They are internally connected to the Power Supply Ground Pins.
Pins H, J, 7 and 8 - These are the signal input (Input Hi) pins.
Pins 9 and 10 - Normally open contact of Setpoint #1 relay.
Pins 11 and 12 - Normally closed contact of Setpoint #1 relay.
Pins 13 and 14 - Contact Common of Setpoint #1 relay.
Pins K and L - Normally open contact of Setpoint #2 relay.
Pins M and N - Normally closed contact of Setpoint #2 relay.
Pins P and R - Contact Common of Setpoint #2 relay.
Pins S and 15 - No connection is made to these pins.
SPAN Potentiometer (Pot)
The 15 turn SPAN Pot is on the left side (as viewed from the back of the meter). Typical adjustment is 100% of the input signal range.
ZERO Potentiometer (Pot)
The ZERO Pot is to the right side (as viewed from the back of the meter). It enables the Digital Display Span to be offset 50% of the input signal range.
Proportional Brightness Band Potentiometer
The Proportional Brightness Potentiometer superimposes a proportional brightness band to the leading edge of the bargraph which creates the optical appearance of a pointed arrow. This feature produces a display of infinite resolution. The position of the signal in relation to any two adjacent segments and the scale on the faceplate can be accurately ascertained to within 1%. When the amplitude of the proportional band is adjusted counterclockwise to zero, the smooth proportional advance of the display will be replaced by a step by step movement as each bar is either turned full on or full off.

The AM-30 has seven header selectable ranges. The standard AM-30 is shipped from the factory as a 1V full scale meter.
To select any other input range (4 to 20mA, 50mV, 100mV, 200mV, 5V, or 10V), use needlenose pliers to remove the jumper clip and replace it on the appropriate header pins as shown in the diagrams below.
0 to 10V Input
0 to 5V Input
0 to 1V Input
0 to 200mV Input
0 to 100mV Input
0 to 50mV Input
4 to 20mA Input
For 4 to 20mA inputs, jumper clips must be put in both the 4 to 20mA and 200mV positions. A second jumper clip is provided for this purpose.
If there is no jumper clip inserted on the input header pin when the power is turned on, the AM-30 goes into the display test mode and all segments of the display come on.

There are four activation modes available for the AM-30R2 with relay options. To change the activation mode, use needlenose pliers to remove and replace the shorting clips on the relay activation header, as shown below.
Setpoint #1 will activate whenever the input is LESS THAN setpoint #1.
Setpoint #2 will activate whenever the input is LESS THAN setpoint #2.
Setpoint #1 will activate whenever the input is LESS THAN setpoint #1.
Setpoint #2 will activate whenever the input is GREATER THAN setpoint #2.
The standard AM-30 with dual relay option is shipped from the factory, with this setting.
Setpoint #1 will activate whenever the input is GREATER THAN setpoint #1.
Setpoint #2 will activate whenever the input is LESS THAN setpoint #2.
Setpoint #1 will activate whenever the input is GREATER THAN setpoint #1.
Setpoint #2 will activate whenever the input is GREATER THAN setpoint #2.

1. Select the required input range. (See "Selecting the Input
Full Scale Range" above for details).
Input the minimum signal to the AM-30. Adjust the ZERO pot so that only one segment stays on.
Input the maximum signal to the AM-30. Adjust the SPAN pot so that all the segments just light up.
In the case of the AM-30R1 and AM-30R2, select the relay activation mode (details on page 6) and setpoints (details on page 2).
5. The meter is now calibrated and ready for use.
FRONT OF METER WITH BEZEL AND FILTER REMOVED
In the case of the AM-30R1 and AM-30R2, which have relays, remove the front bezel and faceplates. Use needlenose pliers to remove and reposition the setpoint jumper clips.
For Setpoint #1: Insert the jumper clip between Row #1 and Row #2, directly below the LED that you wish to activate.
For Setpoint #2: Insert the jumper clip between Row #2 and Row #3, directly below the LED that you wish to activate.
AM-30 WITH DOT MODE OPTION: The AM-30 may be ordered with the dot mode option. Please note that NO SET POINTS are available in this mode. For a 4-20mA input (or virtually any positive input), the dot mode AM-30 is easily user scaled to be a center zero meter.
The AM-30, AM-30R1 & AM-30R2 ship from the factory with an isolated 5VDC power supply.
They provide the greatest convenience and ease of use
Texmates exclusive optional Push-On Connectors combine an edge card connector and a 10 position screw terminal block. Push-On Connectors are ordered preconfigured for each specific power supply voltage and each optional power supply available for the AM-Series.
