Data sheet DQ

Application:
Moving-coil instruments are intended for installation in panels of power distribution or wherever AC current or AC
voltages are to be measured.
DQ is applied to measure low power DC signals or AC voltage and current.
Type VDQ is a moving coil meter with rectifier applied for R.M.S. measurement of AC currents or AC voltages where low
meter consumption is required.

Exchange of scale

1) Press cover at top of instrument as shown.

2) Remove scale by means of a suitable tool (for example a screwdriver).
3) After exchange of scale: refit cover (press till it snaps into place). Calibration is not needed.

Note: Interrupt signal to terminals before exchanging the scale.
