Panel meters, digital multimeters (DMMs), power monitors and other general-purpose instruments are typically limited to detecting and measuring voltages less than 1000V. Specialized instrumentation is required for AC or DC voltages above this level. (more...)
A ratemeter is a measuring instrument that accepts input pulses and displays a value that is proportional to the rate at which the pulses occur, averaged over a time selected by the user. (more...)
Energy submetering involves installing metering devices (kWh meters) downstream from the main utility meter to track energy usage at a more granular level. Submetering is often employed in multi-tenant residential and commercial buildings with a master utility meter. A submeter for each unit allows the energy cost to be allocated based on a tenant’s total consumption and usage pattern. (more...)
Elapsed time is the interval between a starting event and an ending event. An elapsed time meter (ETM) measures this interval with a readout in seconds, minutes, hours, or days. In an industrial application, (more...)
The presence or position of an object can be determined using a variety of sensing techniques. These generally fit in two categories: single point sensing and continuous sensing. (more...)
