DCM5-DS
The DCM5-DS is designed for use in applications with short strings of two, three or four test points.
These applications include 48-volt telecom sites, generator start batteries and any string with four or
less containers. Previously, these installations utilized two DCM units to ensure the resistance of the
charger or parallel strings did not impact Ohmic value readings. The DS stands for dual current sink
which is the technology that allows it to replace two conventional DCMs.
