Multi Display Digital DC Meter

09/12/2010 11:19 AM

I am looking for a digital meter with RS485 port & LCD display, which can measure & display

(a) DC Voltage upto 200 V at 3 different points.

(b) DC Current, upto 300 A ( thru 75 mV shunt ) at 3 different points.

Display could be scrolling with switch to hold. Complete instrument should be suitable for panel mounting ( 96 x 96 sq. mm or similar standard size )

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks and regards

Dear Peter

Thanks for your reply. I am looking for "MULTI DISPLAY DC meters". These meters are also known as MULTIFUNCTION Meter. There are plenty of manufacturers who could offer MULTI DISPLAY AC meters, but I am looking for MULTI DISPLAY DC Meters.

Shunt signal from two or more different shunts in different lines or locations, will have to isolated before it is read, due to error w.r.t. meter circuit system zero. Thats where the catch lies.

Thanks and regards

Then get onto Google, just like peterg7lyq has suggested, and start googling! <sigh>

Maybe it doesn't exist, then.

Try breaking the requirements down into individual functions and googlesearch for each function in separate units.

I certainly get tired of these insulting posts. Peter has "suggested" an ineffective search technique that results in 85,900 hits, the vast majority of which are essentially useless for the OP needs. Searching on a phrase without quotes is not an effective or useful search. It would be fair and considerate to assume that the OP already Googled -- nothing in his post indicates to me that he is an idiot.

The OP incorrectly assumed that CR4 members are

1. helpful... not mindless twits who do simplistic and unhelpful Google searches

2. possessing better than average engineering and science knowledge and therefore may be aware of specialized gear that is hard to find, or aware of terminology that can help in searches

3. reasonably polite.

It seems that these assumptions are not warranted.

Would it not be more helpful to find out more about what the OP is looking for, given that he is obviously not some nitwit with a homework question? What end is served by treating him like a child? He seems to be describing a multichannel multimeter, and if one Googles for "multichannel multimeter" (in quotes) the number of hits is manageable, instead of the useless drivel that Peter's technique produces.

Peter's "help" might just as well have suggested that the OP google for "electronics" which would also produce a uselessly large number of hits.

I wish i got commision for representing Google

I wish you'd stop this. Can you seriously think that the OP is going to look through 85,900 hits? Is your intention to help or to insult?

You misinterpretted my comment as an insult. It is merely an opion expressed. You will note that nowhere did I call you a name... like smart ass, or dumb ass, etc.

Taking a group of words related to a post and performing a Google search on them (without using quotation marks) turns up sites which have those words in any order. That is not helpful, and simply ads to the overall level of noise.

It is as if you posed your question "How does the Human Brain Store Information" and the first response was a Google search link to those words (like the one you provided in the original post for that thread). The one you provided in your thread turns up over 6 million hits, but if you go only 20 or 30 pages into the hits you find that many hits are irrelevant, because the search returns articles with the search words in any order.

But aside from that, it is insulting to simply say "Google it" in a technical forum. Perhaps if the OP is cleary a child, then "Google it" might be appropriate, if the child appears lazy. But the fair and reasonable assumption is that (unless there is very clear evidence to the contrary) the OP has already done a few Google searches. Given that assumption, then simply using words from his post and searching on them contributes nothing, and runs the risk of being taken as an insult. The OP could reasonably reply "I am not so stupid that I am unable to do a Google search."

why dont you help him then,

Above, I offered 2 links that describe multichannel multimeters that can display the six pieces of data (or more) the OP seems to need. I can go no further until he has responded in some way, such as by indicating the relative importance of RS 485 vs other data transfer means.

smart ass

Clearly you dont give a hoot about what impression you make on me. That's fine. But there are more people here than me, and you do not own this site. Calling people smart asses is against the rules here.

I hope you find this helpful.

Is it not possible to use a signal transmittor before the universal instrument ?

It seems logic to me that an electronic meter that can measure AC also can measure DC.

For the 3 inputs 75 mV you will need isolation amplifiers.
