AutoMer™ Autoranging Clamp-on Digital
DC ammeter with Magnetic Error Correction  

by Swain Meter Company


Measures line current and direction of flow accurately and automatically near magnetic fields.


 
AutoMer with 14" MER Sea Clamp

The AutoMer™ Autoranging Clamp-on Digital DC ammeter combines automatic range selection and auto zero with Magnetic Error Reduction (MER). Range and zero are set automatically.

The AutoMer clamps on to measure vehicular battery cable and gas transmission pipeline direct current more accurately and faster. It has 1 mA resolution and measures 5 mA to 200 A during normal operation without breaking into the line.

AutoMer works in a desert or 700 ft underwater with a waterproof extension. Offshore platform anode current or subsea transmission line current can be measured. AutoMer clips (to 6" diameter) and clamps (to 60" diameter) work in salt water for a long time.

AutoMer Features

  • Automatic selection of measurement range (2A, 20A, or 200A) within seconds of a change of input current.
  • Automatic zero.
  • DC Amp clips constructed to reduce zero offset error due to residual magnetism in transmission line pipes or magnets in vehicles. Typical accuracy improvement of 2 to 3 compared to standard meters.
  • Current polarity (direction of flow) shown both on LCD meter and at output terminals.
  • Fully portable, with 50-hour battery and Low Batt icon.
  • Automatic zero adjustment and battery OFF in "Auto" range selection.
  • Manual zero adjustment and battery control in "Manual" range selectionl.
  • Optional external battery.
  • Clips from 2/3" to 6" diameter and Clamps to 13" diameter have 1 mA resolution.
  • Clamps with 24" to 60" inside diameter have 10 mA max resolution.
  • Typical accuracy is ±1% reading ±3 digits ± zero offset due to magnetism.
  • LCD display with 3½ digits (-1999 to 1999) with 0.5" high numerals.
  • Recorder output of is ±2 V at full scale input on any range.
  • Available over-range is available.
  • AC current input rejection to less than 5 mA change with 10A rms, 60 Hz input.
