Instruction Manual for Multi-function
Panel Meter
Model – Elite DCM-12030C
(English version)
Main Features of the Meter
• Both forward (Positive) and reverse (Negative)
current flows can be measured.
• The “CHARGING” LED on the right lights when
the battery is charging.
• Other LEDs (V, TIME, W, A, AH, %) show what
the display to the left is measuring.
• The measured values are shown on two-line
seven-segment multi-function displays:
On the top line is a four-digit display, toggled by
the V/W button between
- Voltage (V), Power (W) and Working Hours (H)
On the bottom line is a three-digit display,
toggled by the A/AH button between
- Current (A), Ampere-hours (AH) and
Remaining Capacity Percentage (%).
• There is a flexible calibration process for voltage,
current and Amp-hours/ % capacity
• The meter does not require external power when
measuring between 10V and 90V.
• The meter consumes very little power for its own
operation.
Specification
