Model 2150

Accuracy and efficiency are the cornerstones for any successful meter shop or production facility. Watthour Engineering offers a line of meter testing hardware and software products that combine twenty-five years of meter testing experience and customer dedication with the insight into today’s technologies to bring you industry leading test solutions.

WECO’s Model 2150 automated test system is a fully ANSI compliant testboard that uses a single voltage and three independently controlled isolated current sources to test all electromechanical and solid state meters up to 50 amps. Utilizing a precision laser optics system, the Model 2150 can test meters through the most grime-coated covers with unfailing accuracy. This same laser technology makes it possible to test using the disk's edge without wasting time with the tricky optics adjustments found with other test systems.

Convenience, functionality, and reliability are at the heart of the Model 2150's design. Smart Socket™ technology combines extra long socket life, minimal insertion force, and ultra-quiet operation. With the Optic Coupler™ option, you can snap the optic coupler head in place to both test and program meters. Minimal power consumption, weight, and footprint make this testboard ideal for van mounted testing using a power inverter. Test meters using KYZ through cables, or directly off the meter stabs, and use the built-in speaker to hear each pulse.
