Description
The most visible, easy to use, programmable panel meter on the market. The APM CT Meter measures AC current up to 5A direct, or up to 10,000A via an external current transformer, with 0.5% accuracy — twice the precision of the standard APM Amp Meter. It combines the instant readability of an analog meter with the precision of a digital meter: a 40-segment curved bar graph gives an immediate visual indication, while four 12mm digits provide a precise numeric readout.
This variant uses a positive (light-background) LCD, optimised for readability in bright ambient light or direct sunlight.
The colour-changing backlight can be programmed to alert operators when current is too high or too low, reducing the risk of equipment failure and improving efficiency. Free APM configuration software allows full customisation of scale and range, with 16 preset configurations selectable via back-panel switches and 20-point non-linearisation scaling for non-linear sensors. This is a display-only variant: it gives a clear, at-a-glance bar-graph-and-digit reading of current but has no configurable outputs, alarms, or communication interface — ideal where a local visual reading is all that’s required.
Typical applications include motor control, heating control, and industrial power supply monitoring — anywhere current needs to be measured accurately via an external current transformer.
