Voltmeter indication at start up

Thanks for helping this diesel newbie!

I get alittle white smoke at startup and I notice that my voltmeter is just on the good side of the low indication on the dial as the wait to start lite is on. It is getting petty close to being at the end of the white arc on the indicator. After starting it takes about 4 seconds to get to its normal postion; moving slowly.

Where should the indicator be when heating the plugs?

Thanks.
