Looking for volt/amp panel meters

Ed WalshEd WalshOGR Forum Member

Folks,

 

I am using PW ZWs to power my layout.  I have added the required fast blow circuit protection.  I am looking to have a panel meter to display amperage and voltage for each channel.  

 

Ideally i would like the the following in order of preference:

1. Digital led combo meter for displaying both  amps and voltage

2. Individual digital amp and volt meters

3. Backlit analog amp and volt meters.

 

i have searched quite a bit and do find lots of digital combo meters.  However, of the ones i have found although they cover the amp range i need, the voltage meter shows a voltage  range of 80 - xxx.  Since the max voltage i will be measuring is in the range of 0v - 24v these meters do not work.

 

The fall back option are to use individual analog volt and amp meters.  But that means 8 meters to cover the 4 outputs.  

 

I was hoping someone might have already found combo meters to do what i need.  And if I have to use analog meters then I would also like to have them backlit for easy reading.

 

Thanks,

Ed

Rob,  

 

Thanks for the tip on these units.  After reading your post my feeble brain did start to remember i knew about these units at one time.  Obviously these would be perfect but as you said the prices have gone very high most likely because of availability, or lack of.

 

i am going to do a bunch more searching for 2 of these and hopefully I can find them.  The best aspect of these is they take up no additional footprint and they become part of the ZW as opposed to a separate module.

 

Thanks again,

Ed
