With a programmable scale, both minimum and maximum values on the bar graph can be configured and the ammeter customised as required. The amp meter’s set points and alarms can be programmed using the free to download and easy-to-use configurator software. The LCD display can be set to flash, change colour, change message or a combination of all three to alert the user when a critical point has been reached. Custom alarms can be set to trip when values exceed, are lower than, between or outside the set point.
The amp panel meter can be used in conjunction with a CT to measure AC current up to 10,000A, however we would recommend our APM CT Meter for most current transformer applications.
When using the Amp Meter ensure any CT has a maximum input of 5A and is 1% accurate, therefore the reading is accurate to +/- 50mA. When selecting a CT, use one with a primary that matches you maximum input and a secondary (output) of 5A.
