6. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to correctly wire your SD003-DVR digital display potentiometer:

  1. Identify Connections: On the back of the device, locate the terminal block. It has markings for 'Potentiometer output 1', 'Potentiometer output 2', 'Power-', and 'Power+'.
  2. Power Connection: Connect your DC 6-30V power supply to the 'Power+' (red wire typically) and 'Power-' (blue wire typically) terminals.
  3. Potentiometer Output: Connect the device you wish to control (e.g., speed controller, inverter) to either 'Potentiometer output 1' or 'Potentiometer output 2'. Important: Only connect one potentiometer output.

7.1. Parameter Setting Procedure

Refer to the table below and the video demonstration for detailed parameter setting.

SettingRadius/RangeOperation Procedure
A Minimum Parameter Range-1000 ~ 1000
  1. Long press the A key when the first digit is flashing.
  2. Press the B key to adjust the value.
  3. Press the A key again to switch between the second, third, and fourth positions.
  4. Press A to save and exit.
B Parameter to Set the Multiplier0.1 ~ 5.0
  1. Long press the B key to make all four digits flash together.
  2. Press the A key to increase the value by 1 each time until the appropriate value is reached.
  3. Press B again to save and exit.
C Magnification Settingx1, x2, x10
  1. Press the B key to switch the magnification (1x, 2x, or 10x).
  2. Automatically stored in 2 seconds.
D Decimal Point SettingX.XXX, XX.XX, XXX.X, XXXX
  1. Short press the A key to switch the decimal point position.
  2. Automatically stored in 2 seconds.

7.2. Example Demonstration

To set the value from 0000 to 640.0:

  1. Set the minimum value (A) to 0000.
  2. Set the magnification (B) to 3.2.
  3. Bring the decimal point (D) to the third place (e.g., XXX.X).
  4. Set C02 (refer to the parameter setting table for C02 details).
  5. After parameter setting is complete, the maximum display value can be set to 640, and the minimum number of displays can be set to 0000.

8. Maintenance

  • Keep the device clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Store the potentiometer in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Regularly check wiring connections for any signs of wear or damage.

9. Troubleshooting

  • Display not working: Check power connections and ensure the input voltage is within DC 6-30V.
  • Incorrect display value: Review the parameter setting procedure (Section 7.1) and ensure all settings (A, B, C, D) are correctly configured for your application.
  • Standard potentiometer linear error: Be aware that standard potentiometers may have a linear error of more than 5%. This device aims to provide a more accurate digital representation.
  • Display range issues: The display range is -1999 to 9999. If the minimum value displayed is less than -1000 or greater than 1000, consider adjusting the C02 or C10 settings (refer to the parameter setting table).
  • No control over connected device: Verify that only one potentiometer output is connected and that the wiring to your external device is correct.

10. User Tips

  • Understanding Resistance Range: The adjustable range of the potentiometer is 0-100% of its nominal resistance value. For example, if you have a 10K potentiometer, the adjustable range will be 0-10K. The digital display will reflect this percentage or a scaled value based on your parameter settings.
  • Fine-tuning: Use the 'A Set key' for precise adjustments of individual digits during parameter setting, and the 'B Set key' for broader changes like magnification.
  • Automatic Storage: Remember that decimal point and magnification settings are automatically stored after 2 seconds of inactivity, so ensure your desired setting is active before letting go.
