Voltcraft AM-96X96/50HZ Analogue panel-mount measuring instrument AM-96X96/50HZ Hoja De Datos

This analogue panel meter (with rectifier connected upstream) is designed for installation in

switchboards. The installation occurs directly without external components; appropriate pre-

resistors are already integrated in the circuit. Only in integrated status the product may be put 

into operation. The suitable regulations are to be observed. The scale needle can be adjusted 

precisely with the front screw. The product is only suitable for 400 V/AC.

For safety and approval purposes (CE), 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
