Large Format Digital DC Shunt Ammeter 

## Murata Power Solutions 

## **PRODUCT OVERVIEW** 

DMS01-AM-RS12-C is a robust, highly configurable, digital panel meter that provides precise measurement and display of DC current and supports a wide range of external shunts. DIP switches simplify selection and setup of shunt current / voltage input ranges and features a highly visible red 1” (25mm) tall, 3½ – 4½ digit seven-segment LED display with adjustable brightness. Independent offset and scale adjustment trim-potentiometers optimize precision for specialized applications and the internal digital filter enhances performance in electrically noisy environments. An external 12VDC power source provides power to the meter. An internal DC-DC converter accommodates a ±48V common-mode measurement range with respect to the power supply input and supports both high or low side measurement, simplifying a wide range of measurement applications. This digital panel meter ideal for laboratory instrumentation, factory automation, and any application that requiring precise current monitoring.

## OPERATION 

## **Measurement Type and Capabilities** 

- The DMS01-AM measures DC current using an external shunt resistor with two user-selectable input ranges of ±50mV and ±100mV. 

- Measurements are displayed between 3-1/2 and 4-1/2 digits of resolution depending on the current range selected. 

- 21 current range options can be selected based on dipswitch settings. 

- The meter’s measurement terminals are electrically isolated from the power terminals through a DC-DC converter, providing a high common-mode input range (±48V) for the input (relative to the power terminals), simplifying a wide range of measurement applications. 

- Meter requires and external 12VDC power supply (not included).

**Brightness Adjust** – This single-turn potentiometer supports adjustment of the meter’s LED display brightness for maximum readability. Turning the pot clockwise increases brightness, while turning it counterclockwise decreases brightness. 

**Offset Adjust** – This 12-turn potentiometer supports the adjustment of meter offset.  In the vast majority of applications, this function is not needed as the meter’s offset is precisely adjusted to zero at factory calibration. Turning the pot clockwise will give a negative offset, while turning it counterclockwise gives a positive offset. 

**Scale Adjust** – This 12-turn potentiometer supports the adjustment of the meter’s scale.  In the vast majority of applications, this function is 

not needed as the meter’s scale is precisely adjusted at factory calibration. Turning the pot clockwise decreases the gain, while turning it counterclockwise increases the gain. 

**S1, S2** – These two 6-position dipswitches are used to configure the meter’s various options.  Details may be found in the Meter Configuration section of this datasheet.

The above example illustrates an application where the total load current of the system needs to be measured.  Therefore, the shunt is connected in series with the system load, at the same time, the shunt measurement points connected to terminals 3 & 4, as shown. The potential difference (VDC) across these points is converted and displayed as DC current, and indicates total system load. This is a high-side installation. See Figure 1 & 2 above for and example of low-side installaiton.

## TECHNICAL NOTES 

## **1. Calibration** 

The DMS01-AM is calibrated at the factory at the time of manufacture. When the Trim Enable switch (SW2 on S2) is turned off, the unit ignores the scale and offset potentiometer settings and reverts to factory calibration. When the Trim Enable switch is turned ON, the unit’s effective calibration may be changed by the user and may no longer be within datasheet specifications. 

## **2. Protection and Fusing** 

The DMS01-AM contains an internal PTC fuse as well as other protective elements that are intended for protection against brief electrical transients and misconnect conditions. Additional external protective components such as fuses and transient suppressors may be required depending on the application in which the meter is deployed. 

## **3. Noisy Power Supplies** 

In systems with noisy power supplies, connecting an external, non-polarized capacitor across the +VS and -VS inputs can help reduce measurement errors. In certain situations, the use of twisted pair or shield wiring may be required. 

## **4. Installation** 

IMPORTANT! To ensure safe and reliable operation, DMS01 meters must be installed and serviced by qualified technical personnel. Contact Murata Power Solutions if there is any doubt regarding their installation or operation. 

## **5. Over-range Limit** 

The meter will flash on and off when the input of the meter exceeds its minimum or maximum input voltage/current. 

## PANEL INSTALLATION 

## **PANEL CUTOUT** 

Notes: When mounting panel meter with hardware, a four hole pattern (four outermost holes) or the six hole pattern may be used at the customer’s option.
