Meter Mode Uses
Meter Mode is a new and versatile function of the new Gen 4 tester that will allow you to display Electrical
Parameters from a Power outlet source or from the appliance under test.
E.g.: Measuring the Power of a bar heater, or electric power drill check the ratings and compare them to that
on the compliance plate etc.
Meter Mode Features – (Four Discrete Options)
Electrical parameters are displayed as Volts, Amps, Watts, and Volt / Amps
These electrical parameters will be displayed on the Testers main screen display there will be a total 4
readings
Meter Mode Measures and displays volts in AC, Current in Amps, Power Measurement in Watts and VA in
Volt/AMPS
Explanation of Electrical Parameters
Volts
A volt is the unit used to measure the energy available in the electrical current of a circuit. Voltage
controls the available electrical power (wattage).
Amperes
An amp is the unit used to measure electrical current as it flows past a specified point.
Watts
A watt is the unit used to measure the amount of actual flowing electrical energy.
Volt-Amps
A volt-amp is the unit used to measure the apparent electrical power used by computing equipment.
Mathematically, it is expressed as volts times amps (V*A).
*Meter Mode ® is a unique function of all TnT Gen 4 Models.
