Test & measurement instruments

Precision instruments that prove the quality.

A family of high-precision, microprocessor-based test and measurement instruments — the Bursting Strength Tester for paper, board and packaging, the ECOS / VCTS Electrical Check Out System for vehicle electrical testing on the line, and the KV 2500 Ampere-Hour meters. Every one is built for fast, accurate, repeatable results, with PC / Windows software for data acquisition, analysis, reporting and full traceability.

Accurate on the bench, connected to the PC or the line — every test recorded, every result reportable, every unit traceable.

Three instruments, one QC philosophy

Different tests, the same DNA — precision sensing, microprocessor control, and software that records, reports and traces every result.

Ampere-Hour Meters — KV 2500 Series

Measure and display ampere-hours — the charge (current × time) that has actually passed — wherever the quantity of current, not just its value, is what matters.

KVAR KV 2500 Ampere Hour Meter on a battery charger panel

AMPERE HOUR METERKV 2500 Series

The KV 2500 / IM 25xx Series is a family of 15+ panel-mounting, microprocessor-based Ampere-Hour meters. A 7-segment LED display reads ampere-hours and live current, with programmable set-points driving relay outputs. Current is read through a 0–75 mV shunt (programmable from the keyboard), and a floating decimal point auto-selects to the shunt value — ideal for battery, plating and process duty where the charge passed decides the result.
