| Movement | Moving coil movement has pivots of very high hardness. Movement is suspended between two spring-loaded sapphire jewels. Movement is properly shielded and critically damped by eddy currents induced in coil former. |
| Case Options | • Antiglare glass front fascia |
| Dial Options | • Blank dial with initial and end values marked |
| Other Options | • Center zero or off-set zero position |
Jewell DSL Series – DC Ammeters/Voltmeters
The moving coil panel meters, DSL 48/72/96/144 are housed in molded polycarbonate cases are suitable for the measurement of DC currents and voltages. These instruments offer several advantages in switchboards and generating set panels. A number of meters can be mounted in a panel cut out (mosaic mounting). The front glass, bezel, and dial can be easily replaced.
