Murata Power Solutions’ DMS-20PC-1-LM is a component-size, self-contained, low-cost
ac voltmeter for true line measurements. It requires no additional components or auxiliary
power. Simply plug it into any wall outlet and instantly read voltages from 85 to 264Vac
(47-63Hz). The large (0.37"/9.4mm), bright red, blue or green LED display makes the
DMS-20PC-1-LM easily readable under any lighting conditions.
DMS-20PC-1-LM employs half-wave
sinusoidal averaging (rms calibrated) and has
a display resolution of 1Vac over its full input
range. Packaged in a red-fi lter case with built-
in bezel, the meter is fully encapsulated for
ruggedness. All units are overvoltage protected
to 300Vac.
This low-cost meter is ideal for industrial,
laboratory, offi ce and fi eld-service applica-
tions. Its miniature size is perfect for design
into high-end consumer electronics, laboratory
instrumentation and other products requiring
accurate ac line monitoring.

Power Supply Polarity, Grounding, Fusing, and Wiring
1. Polarity and Grounding:
DMS-20PC-1-LM’s two ac-supply input terminals are not polarity sensitive,
that is, they have no “AC LO” or “AC HI” designations. These units do not
include nor require a connection to earth/chassis ground. All ac-supply wiring
must be rated for the voltages and currents they will conduct and comply
with any code or application-mandated requirements pertaining to the user’s
specifi c installation. Additional model-specifi c information is provided below.
2. UL Recognized Panel Mount Models with Screw Terminals:
DMS-20PC-1-LM AC voltmeters are not internally fused. The supply wires
feeding these voltmeters must be fused with a 0.25A/250V time delay/time lag
fuse, in accordance with applicable regulatory codes. The rear threaded stand-
off input-terminals are to be used only for powering the voltmeter’s internal
circuitry; they must not be used to supply power to external loads.
The recommended wire size is 16AWG to 20AWG (1.31mm2 to 0.52mm2)
stranded copper wire. Wires must be properly stripped and attached to the
threaded standoffs such that their insulation is not pinched by the supplied
6-32 screws. Rated tightening torque for the 6-32 screws is 7 to 8 pound-
inches (0.8 to 0.9N-m). 300V UL rated wire suitable for the intended applica-
tion is required.
3. UL Listed Models with “Plug-in” Blade Terminals:
Plug-in DMS-20PC-1-LM-XF models are not internally fused and must be
protected by an external current limiting circuit breaker or fuse in accordance
with applicable regulatory codes. These models are designed to be plugged
into NEMA 1-15R, NEMA 5-15R, and NEMA 5-20R receptacles.
4. Description of the safety marks:
Caution, risk of electrical shock
Caution, risk of danger
Equipment is protected throughout by double or reinforced insulation
5. Cleaning Instructions: Gently clean with dry cloth only.
6. Caution: if the equipment is used in a manner not specifi ed by Murata
Power Solutions, the protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.
