Benefits of Using Digital Panel Meter

For any electrical and industrial company, monitoring various variables such as current, voltage, frequency, vibration, pressure and temperature is of utmost importance. Measurement of these electrical parameters can be done with a digital panel meter. They are quite different from that of mechanical meter reading. They have similarity to analog panel meter devices, but the measurement is displayed in a computerized form.

Most of them are having built in alarms, the calibration of which can be done for reading out desired units. They have an LED display which you can customize. The display screens are different between various brands, but majority of them are having 3 or 6 digits.

It is known that loads of measuring devices are offered to consumers these days. Various products can be chosen and the one that suits the best can be opted for. Different brands have their striking and unique features which help in setting them apart from other brands. These benefits are highlighted so that more customers can be attracted. However, in reality, the basic functions of all the devices are same. Given below are some benefits one can get by using these equipments.

• Accuracy

Consumption of electricity can be calculated with great reliability and accuracy. Figuring out the exact reading is simple, because computer generated reading is provided on the screen. It indicates DC or AC and shows whether the value is negative or positive. A measuring device having needles depends on the competency of users as well as personal judgement. Often, this would result in false or inaccurate readings.

• Built in protection

There is a built in overload protector in these devices, which you cannot find in mechanical counterparts. This acts as an added protection against strong load.

• Easy calibration

Calibration of these computerized devices is done by exposing them to neutral or zero position. With the process of calibration, movable parts in non-digital devices can be stressed and they move far from neutral point. With time, inaccurate analysis is provided.

• Handy and Durable

With these devices there are no pointers to read values. Hence, maintaining them is easy and they are less mechanical. They prove to be quite handy because you can bring them anywhere.

• Transfer of data is easy

The instruments are AMR read and this means that the data can be connected and transferred through computers. Most of the devices have a probe, through which information can be transferred.

• Tamper Proof

Another benefit of the device is that it is tamper proof. Using this gadget is very easy. You can set it up without any additional equipment. With the modular architecture for high-end and medium meters, easy configuration is provided to the users.
