TECHNICAL NOTES (continued)
4. Calibration: Periodic recalibration of DMU-30DCV voltmeters is not required
under normal indoor operating environments. However, operation in environ-
ments subject to vibration and/or extreme temperature variations should
have their accuracy verifi ed on a yearly basis. If recalibration is necessary,
it should only be performed by qualifi ed technical personnel. Calibration is
performed with potentially lethal voltages applied to the DMU-30DCV and
its associated wiring. A plastic, fully-insulated adjusting tool must be used
to access the recessed calibration potentiometer located on the back of the
unit (see Mechanical Specifi cations). Contact Murata / DATEL if additional
information is required regarding calibration, setup, or any other technical
issue pertaining to DMU-30DCV dc voltmeters.
5. Minimum-Intensity Adjustment Potentiometer: Users can adjust the
DMU-30DCV’s minimum LED display brightness to suit their indoor viewing
requirements by adjusting the ¾-turn, rear-mounted intensity adjustment
potentiometer. Please note, this potentiometer will have minimal impact on
display brightness in high ambient light environments.
The intensity adjustment potentiometer is factory preset to its mid-point po-
sition. As viewed from the rear of the meter, and with the model number label
facing up, turning the potentiometer clockwise increases the LED display’s
intensity. See the Mechanical Specifi cations section for potentiometer loca-
tions.
6. Operation with Power Supplies Lower than 85Vac: In indoor applications
where daylight readability (i.e., maximum display brightness) is not required,
DMU-30DCV meters will meet their specifi ed accuracy with ac supply volt-
ages (TB1) well below 85Vac. While performance is not guaranteed, DMU-
30DCV voltmeters remain easily readable and accurate with ac supplies as
low as 20Vac.
7. Panel Installation: All electrical connections to DMU-30DCV must be made
after the meter is securely attached to the panel and with all input and
supply voltages de-energized (off). Care must be exercised when attach-
ing conductors to terminal blocks TB1 and TB2. The installed wire-positions
should be such that minimal forces are applied to the terminal blocks or the
voltmeter. In high-vibration environments, adequate strain reliefs must be
used on all input and supply wiring.
To ensure a secure and moisture/vibration resistant installation, use only
the supplied hardware. Following the four-step sequence shown—being
careful not to apply excessive force or twisting motions—insert the voltmeter
into the panel opening. Tighten all six M3 metric screws to 3 inch-pounds
(0.34Nm). See the Mechanical Specifi cations section for panel cutout, drill
dimensions, and panel installation information.
Performance/Functional Specifi cations
Typical at TA = +25°C, unless otherwise noted.
➀ Display reading is set to “1888”. Specifi ed power supply currents are steady state; larger
surge currents can occur at initial application of ac power. Power supply input (TB1) set to
120Vac/60 Hz.
