Automotive "As a heavy duty charging system service technician and trainer, a large part of my job includes monitoring and comparing voltages and current flow from a generator all the way to a set of batteries that may be up to 30 feet away on a longer truck. Having a meter with a remote display would allow me to give an on vehicle training session without having to force course attendees too follow me back and forth and remember readings. As diesel engine compartments get hotter and louder, the option of monitoring voltages from a cooler, safer, quieter distance makes more and more sense everyday." N.N., Illionis "This is an excellent idea. With today's auto and diesel technology we are constantly troubleshooting electric circuits related to fuel injection, general electrical, sensor voltage, open circuit resistance etc. I can't tell you how many times I have had to crawl under a vehicle, at times having one person hold the meter while I checked for voltage in some obscure location and having to fumble with limited length wires. This totally solves my problem of even having to use another person! Keep up the good work." B.N., New Jersey "This tool would be helpful when checking transmission solenoid problems. It would eliminate the tedious process of running long wires from under the car, or the front of the car, putting an end to wondering if the length of the wires is affecting the results. It would be very helpful when checking the signals for all sorts of switches and sensors while driving down the road. The meter could be in the engine compartment and there wouldn't be any wires hanging out of the vehicle to be damaged. Another benefit would be able to check electrical systems without having to ask someone to turn on the system or to read the meter for you." H.S, California 6
