Digital Panel Meters FAQQDo all of the above questions also apply to your DCA5-20PC series ammeters?

Yes, especially the question pertaining to ‘–DC1’ and ‘–DC4’ models. For application purposes, the primary difference between these two ammeter families is the location of the shunt resistor: DCA-20PC ammeters have an internal low-loss shunt connected across TB1, while DCA5-20PC ammeters work in conjunction with user-supplied, external 50mV or 100mV shunts connected to TB1.
