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-toaccess 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 operator 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 troubleshooting 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 programmer to monitor certain conditions in the MCC while troubleshooting the PLC logic. Some of our work is in tightfitting 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 29
