OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ARE OPTIONAL
AND ARE AVAILABLE FROM YOUR DEALER:
Alarm relay module:
This plug-in module allows the connection of
equipment that will provide additional “hi” and
“lo” alarm warnings. Examples of such warnings
are lights, bells or sirens, radio transmitters, etc.
Alarm beeper module:
This plug in module produces a loud tone to
indicate that a hi or lo battery voltage condition
has occurred.
NOTE: Only one of the above modules may be
installed on the DM3.
Metal box (4x7 BOX):
Protects the DM3 electronics. Provides a means
for mounting the DM3 to a wall without making a
large cutout (such a cutout is required for flush
mounting). The enclosure can also be used for
flush-mount installations to protect the DM3 and
to allow cable clamps to secure wires.
External shunts:
If you wish to measure more than one current, or
if you wish to measure a current greater than 30
amps, you will need external shunts. One is
required for EACH such current measurement.
The shunts are specified as follows:
•
For currents up to 100 amps: 100A/100mv
•
For currents up to 500 amps: 500A/50mv
