4. Instal·lació
4.1. Electrical Installation Guidelines
ADVERTIMENT: Do not install the unit close to high electromagnetic noise emitting devices like contactors, high current busbars, switchmode power supplies, and the like.
Although the unit is protected against electromagnetic disturbance, excessive disturbance can affect its operation, measurement precision, and data communication quality.
- Utilitzeu cables del rang de temperatura adequat.
- Use adequate cable section, at least 0.75mm² (AWG18).
- For current transformer inputs, use at least 1.5mm² section (AWG15) cable.
- La longitud del cable del transformador de corrent no ha de superar els 1.5 metres. Si s'utilitza un cable més llarg, augmenta la secció del cable proporcionalment.
- Els transformadors de corrent han de tenir una sortida de 5 A.
PRECAUCIÓ: Current Transformers must be used for current measurement. No direct connection allowed.
4.2. Panel Cutout and Mounting
The DKM-401 is designed for flush mounting into a standard 92x92mm panel opening. Ensure sufficient depth for installation.

The unit is secured using rear retaining brackets. Ensure the panel thickness is within acceptable tolerances for a secure fit.
5. Diagrama de connexió
Refer to the diagram below for proper electrical connections of the DKM-401 Digital Multimeter. Ensure all connections are made securely and according to local electrical codes.

- Connect L1, L2, L3, and Neutral (N) to the corresponding terminals.
- Connect current transformers (CTs) to terminals 1-4, 11-14 as indicated. Ensure correct polarity.
- Fuses (6A) are recommended for protection on the voltage input lines.
6. Funcionament
6.1. Pushbutton Functions
The DKM-401 features three buttons on the front panel for configuration and measurement screen navigation.
| Botó | Funció |
|---|---|
![]() | Upper screen, Increase related value (config mode) |
![]() | Lower screen, Decrease related value (config mode) |
| NO BUTTON PRESSED FOR 5 MINUTES: | Returns to the main display screen |

6.2. Navegació del menú
To change the bottom display, press one of the MENU buttons until the desired value appears. The sequence of displayed values is as follows:
- L-1 VOLTAGE
- L-2 VOLTAGE
- L-3 VOLTAGE
- L1-L2 VOLTAGE
- L2-L3 VOLTAGE
- L3-L1 VOLTAGE
- FREQÜÈNCIA

6.3. Adjusting the CT Ratio
To enter the CT ratio configuration menu, hold both MENU buttons pressed for 2 seconds. The display will show "Curr" and "ErrA" followed by the current CT ratio (e.g., "500").
