Description
Modutec ME DVV 050 U DC Panel Meter 0-50V 1.8x0.75 Slot w/ 9.1k Resistor
The Modutec ME DVV 050 U is a compact analog DC panel voltmeter with a 0–50V full-scale range. It uses a moving-coil (D'Arsonval) movement housed in a clear rectangular case designed to mount in a standard 1.8 x 0.75-inch panel cutout. The included 9.1k ohm series resistor connects in series with the meter movement to drop the external voltage to the level the movement requires, allowing a direct 50V DC input to produce a full-scale deflection that matches the printed 0–50V scale.

Applications
Analog DC panel meters of this type are standard components in custom control panels, power supply enclosures, battery monitoring systems, and electronic test benches where a simple, reliable voltage readout is needed without a digital display. The Modutec ME DVV 050 U fits a compact rectangular cutout common in industrial and laboratory panel construction. Its moving-coil movement gives a smooth, easy-to-read needle deflection proportional to the applied DC voltage — a format that has remained in continuous use in power distribution, amateur radio equipment, industrial machinery, and bench power supply fronts. The 0–50V range makes it well suited for monitoring 12V, 24V, and 48V DC systems, as well as general-purpose DC voltage indication up to 50V. Modutec, based in Manchester, New Hampshire, was a well-regarded American manufacturer of panel instruments known for their rectangular-cutout meter series widely used in OEM panel assemblies from the 1970s through the 1990s.
This Modutec ME DVV 050 U DC panel meter is new and unused. It comes in its original Modutec box with the 9.1k ohm series resistor and gold-tone mounting bezel included. The meter face and movement appear clean with no signs of use. As open-box stock, this unit may have been stored for an extended period or removed from its original sealed packaging at some point — it is new old stock rather than factory-sealed. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
