Industrial Controls

"It would be most helpful when checking voltages on eyes
and switches on machinery while product was running to
ensure that the controls were getting the correct signals from
the eyes and switches. It would also be helpful in hard-to-
access control panels that now require two people to work
on. It is easy to see the multimeter actually paying for itself
in a very short time, cutting a two person job down to one."
A.P., Virginia
"We have many machines in our manufacturing facility that
have electrical enclosures mounted away from the opera-
tor controls for the machine. When troubleshooting it is
often necessary to have one person monitor a test point
in the electrical panel while another person operates the
machine. This is not always the best scenario as two people
are observing different aspects and events on the machine.
With a remote readout, it is possible for one person to watch
for changes on a test point in real-time while operating a
machine. This capability improves and shortens the trouble-
shooting process." J.D., Oregon
"This is a great idea! We do a tremendous amount of work
around Motor Control Centers (MCC) and PLC cabinets. This
remote display would allow greater flexibility for the pro-
grammer to monitor certain conditions in the MCC while
troubleshooting the PLC logic. Some of our work is in tight-
fitting areas of our structures. This would allow us to monitor
points in a junction box without having to twist your body
around, hold the meter, hold the test leads and still monitor
the process. It would be an enhanced benefit for the remote
display if it had a magnetic clip on it to hang it on a metal
enclosure." D.K., West Virginia
"This meter has great possibilities! The versatility of being
able to use a more convenient test point while operating
interlocks and remote switches will simplify troubleshoot-
ing control circuits immensely. A valuable tool when time is
critical or a second electrician is not available to monitor the
meter." R.B., California
