AMBER: ptraj and dipoles

I would like to check the unit of the dipole moment given by the
'vector' command of ptraj??
The manual says it is not normalized. What does it mean? If the dipole
is calculated with the formula:

dipole = sum_over_the_atoms_in_the_mask ( charge[i]*position_vector[i] )

and the mask is neutral, then I don't understand why the dipole vector
must be normalized.
