Order Number Instructions:
• Select one model each for order numbers with the same sequence of letters. 1) Standard model
• No add. entries are required for std. models (identified with bold type and “ −” in order no. column). 2) Voltmeters and ammeters ≤ 4A
• An entry with “....” in the order no. column means that the order number must be supplemented
with written text.
