What is a Panel Meter? A panel meter is an instrument that displays an input signal in either a digital or analog form. Many panel meters also include alarm options as well as the ability to connect and transfer data to a computer. OMEGA's iSeries panel meters are available with an ethernet option which allows the panel meter reading to be accessed across a local area network (LAN) or even through the internet.

A panel meter can be used to measure multiple different currents and channels. A panel meter can measure temperature, speed, pressure and even electric current. There are both electric and analog panel meters that are used for many different trades, jobs and common skills. It is a very useful and frankly necessary tool that should be in each household across the world. It is useful in many different situations, from fixing the air conditioning, locating a simple problem in an electric circuit, to fixing, or improving a car. A panel meter displays measurements in D.C. Amperes, Direct Current, and A.C, Alternating Current.
One of the conditions that would cause this is that there is no supply voltage to the top of the meter. Another problem could be, the neutral tickler wire has become disconnected.
The indicater meter is a DC device, so the rectifier changes AC to DC. A meter could not respond to AC.
PUT A MULTIPLIER RESISTOR IN SERIES WITH THE METER AND SOURCE. RESEARCH 'METER SHUNTS AND MULTIPLIER CIRCUITS', IT TAKES ONLY ONE SMALL RESISTOR.....(OR IF YOU HAVE EXTRA METERS, PUT TWO OF THEM IN SERIES WITH THE LOAD AND SOURCE; THEN ADD THE TWO METER READINGS.)
The cost of this installation will vary greatly around the world. Get an estimate from your local contractor in your area. You will need to have the voltage and amperage of the service that you want to have installed.
