FEATURES
PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Self-powered, 2-Wire operation
Murata Power Solutions’ DMS-20ACV-3 is a low-cost, self-powered, 2-wire digital AC voltmeter designed
for monitoring 3-phase, 480Vac primary ac power sources. The DMS-20ACV-3’s unique power-supply
design allows a single model to operate from 350 to 600Vac, at line frequencies of 50 to 60Hz. No usersupplied external components or auxiliary power sources are needed for full operation. Its large, 0.40 inch
(10.2mm), bright red or green LED display is easily readable under virtually all lighting conditions.
DMS-20ACV-3 AC voltmeters employ a microprocessor driven, half-wave averaging, analog-to-digital
converter to achieve a display resolution of 1Vac over its entire operating range. Also, the unit is permanently calibrated at the factory, ensuring stable, long-term accuracy by eliminating issues caused by
user-accessible adjustment potentiometers.
The DMS-20ACV-3 measures only 1.94” wide x 1.27” high (49.3mm x 32.3mm), and has an installed
behind-the-panel depth of less than 1.0” (25.4mm). Panel mounting is greatly simplified by the use of a
bezel assembly that includes a color filter and secure metal fasteners.
This easy-to-use AC voltmeter is the ideal digital upgrade for fragile, less accurate, analog panel meters
used in 480Vac power distribution environments. It similarly excels in any new application requiring accurate, high-voltage, AC line monitoring. Simply connect the AC power source to its 2-position terminal block
and the unit is fully operational.

TECHNICAL NOTES
Performance/Functional Specifications
IMPORTANT! To ensure safe and reliable operation, DMS-20ACV ac
voltmeters must be installed and serviced by qualified technical
personnel. Contact Murata Power Solutions if there is any doubt
regarding installation and/or operation.

1. Measurement Type: DMS-20ACV series AC voltmeters employ a
precision analog-to-digital converter and a stable voltage reference to
measure and display the average value of sinusoidal AC mains voltages.
Input voltages of 601V and above will cause the display to flash on and
off.

3. Power Supply Polarity, Fusing, Wiring, and Grounding: DMS-20ACV-3’s
TB1 ac-supply terminals are not polarity sensitive, that is, they have
no “AC LO” or “AC HI” designations. These meters do not include nor
require a connection to earth/chassis ground.

Overrange Indication
DMS-20ACV-3 AC voltmeters are not internally fused. Terminal block
TB1 is to be used only for powering the voltmeter’s internal circuitry; it
must not be used to supply power to external loads or auxiliary devices.
The supply wires connected to TB1 must be fused with a 0.25A/600V
time delay/time lag fuse, in accordance with applicable regulatory
codes.

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 specific installation. 600V, ULrated wire suitable for the intended application is required.

The recommended AC supply wire size is 16AWG to 22AWG (1.31mm2
to 0.325mm2) stranded copper wire. The supply wires must be properly
stripped and attached to TB1 such that their insulation is not pinched
by the screw terminal. Recommended insulation strip length is 0.25"
(6.4mm). Rated tightening torque for the TB1’s screws is 7 poundinches (0.8 N-m).

PANEL INSTALLATION
All electrical connections to DMS-20ACV must be made after the voltmeter
is securely attached to the panel, and with the input AC supply voltage
de-energized (off). Care must be exercised when attaching the AC supply
wires to terminal block TB1. The installed wire-positions should be such
that minimal forces are applied to TB1 or the voltmeter. In high-vibration
environments, adequate strain reliefs must be used on all supply wiring.
Using Figure 2 as a guide, carefully insert the bezel/color filter assembly
into the panel opening. From the rear of the panel, install the four 8mm
plastic standoffs over the bezel’s threaded studs. Install the DMS-20ACV
pc-board assembly and attach and tighten the four #2-56 hex nuts over the
threaded studs. Tighten each hex nut to 15 to 20 ozf-in (0.11 to 0.14 N-m).
Use only the factory-supplied hardware as the use of substitute hardware
may result in an unsafe installation and/or adversely affect the reliability of
the installation.
The range of panel thicknesses that can be accommodated with the
factory supplied hardware is 0.040 inches (1.0mm) to 0.125 inches
(3.2mm). Panel thicknesses greater than 3.2mm may require additional
user-supplied hardware or modifications to achieve an electrically safe and
mechanically secure installation. However, do not use any substitutes for
the 8mm round plastic standoffs supplied with the voltmeter. Please note,
thick panels will alter the readability of the LED display.
