New Models with Blanking Function Added
to the Series
Single-color (red or green) and two-color (red or green
selectable) displays with a character height of 14 mm are
available for a variety of applications and locations.
Miniature design with a 43-mm depth is perfect for saving space
in equipment and devices.
Wide-range power supply from 12 to 24 VDC.
Negative sign () display with signal codes is possible for
Decimal-display Models.
Models with zero suppression function available.

M7E
Example of Zero Suppression Usage: Description Using
Negative Logic Model
The zero suppression function operates when the display is 0, RBI is
low and the decimal point is not lit.
Example 1: The RBI input and RBO output of each digit are open
when zero suppression is not being used.
Example 2: Wired as shown to display only 0 for the rightmost digit
when zero suppression is being used.
Example 3: Zeros are suppressed only for the digits on the left of
the digit where the decimal is lit when both zero
suppression and a decimal point are being used.
Example 4: Zeros are suppressed to the right of the first digit below
the decimal point when both zero suppression and a
decimal point are being used. If the first-to-fourth-digit
values are all 0 and the decimal point is lit at the fourth
digit, 0.0@@ will be displayed. (There is no data in @@.)
Note: Use RBO output for the RBI input connection only.
Dimensions

Safety Precautions for M7E
Precautions for Correct Use
Display Units
Installation environment
Use the Unit in locations that are not subject to organic solvents
(thinner, benzene, etc.), strong alkali, strong acid, sunlight, and
corrosive gases.
These Display Units are designed for indoor use only.
Visibility may be significantly reduced if the Unit is used outside or
in locations where the ambient brightness exceeds the brightness
of the M7E. The product is not drip-proof. Use the product where it
will not be subject to water or oil splashing.
Use the Units in areas not subject to vibration or shock in excess of
specifications.
Mounting
Connector Insertion
When inserting the connector,
make sure that the UP arrow is
pointing upwards.
When the End Plates are linked,
the entire set can be quickly
mounted and fastened to a
panel. Confirm that the links
between units and End Plates
are secure, and then securely
fasten the End Plate tips to the
panel.
Wiring and Connections
Make sure that no wire is more than five meters long when wiring.
Handling
There are projecting tips made of resin on the side of each Display
Unit. Be sure not to drop the Display Unit, otherwise the projecting
tips may break.
Procedure for Making Face Plates for
M7E-01 Unit Display Unit
Custom face plates can be made according to the following
guidelines.
1. Prepare a blank Unit Display Unit (M7E-01UR2-A or M7E-
01UG2-A) for the desired lighting color.
2. Take transparent polyester film (with thickness equivalent to
0.188) and cut it to the following dimensions.
3. Print solid black on the film covering all areas except the
character and so that the desired unit character is within the
character display range (with the unit character transparent).
4. Install the completed face plate into the Unit Display Unit.
Mother Board
Wiring and
Connections
Secure the cable and lead
wires with the panel so that no
excessive force will be
imposed on the input
connector or power supply
terminals.
Link the Units by snapping the
projecting tips and slots together.
To undo the linkage, use a slotted
screwdriver as shown in the
following figure and press the upper
and lower tips while separating.

M7E Connection
Connection of Mother Board and M7E
Note: Do not connect the Mother Board static model to the M7E-
01D@D2(-B) dynamic model, otherwise LE will be held.
When using the M7E-01@@P2(-B) positive logic standard model, a
pullup resistor may be required. Check the output circuit of the
connecting device and use a pull-up resistor if necessary.
All M7E models used on a single Mother Board must be identical.
Connecting or Disconnecting the M7E
When connecting the
M7E to or disconnecting
the M7E from the Mother
Board, hold the front
panel of the M7E or the
case and be sure to apply
appropriate force on the
top and bottom of the
Mother Board alternately.
