INTENDED USE
The analogue panel meters are designed for installation in switch cabinets or display panels
and are only suitable for DC/DC voltage measurements. The installation occurs directly without
external components; appropriate pre-resistors are already integrated in the circuit. Only in
integrated status they may be put into operation. The suitable regulations are to be observed.
The fixed measuring instruments are available with different measurement ranges. The scale
needle can be adjusted precisely with the front screw.
For safety and approval purposes, you must not rebuild and/or modify this product. If you use
the product for purposes other than those described above, the product may be damaged.
In addition, improper use can cause hazards such as short circuiting, fire, electric shock etc.
