We have just released our March 2020 Newsletter. Read on to see what we have in store this month. Or checkout the full version online HERE!

It seems like we were just celebrating the new year and now it's already March! Spring is in the air, the temperatures are rising and it is the beginning of National Reading Month. And while this technically refers to reading books and novels, here at Ram Meter Inc. we'd like to focus on reading things like temperature, power consumption and electrical currents and voltages. And what better way to take these readings things than with instruments like these....

Simpson Electric F45 Digital Temperature Meter

The Simpson F45 digital temperature meter is a high accuracy, microprocessor-based panel instrument designed to provide the maximum flexibility in temperature measurement. The F45 automatically compensates for differences between unit temperature (room temperature) and ice point (0°), and provides the complete NIST range for six thermocouple types as well as Platinum 100 RTD. Input ranges are user-selectable and can be changed without re-calibration. The F45 features a standard 1/8-DIN case with a depth of less than 3" and screw terminals are standard for easy installation.

Features:

  • Full 4-1/2 Digit, Bright Red 0.56" (14.2mm) Display
  • User-Programmable T/C or RTD type (J, K, E, T, R, S, and Platinum 100 RTD)
  • Jumper-Selectable Display Indicates °C or °F with 0.1° or 1° Display Resolution
  • Linear mV Scale for Easy Calibration
  • Short 2.94" (74.7mm) Deep, 1/8-DIN Case
  • Screw Terminal Connector for Easy Installation
  • Optional Isolated 9-32 VDC Power Supply

DID YOU KNOW?

Did you know that Ram Meter Inc.offers custom inputs and scales for the panel meters that we sell? The analog & digital panel meters that we carry are offered with industry standard input ranges and scaling values. These include ranges such as 0-30 Volts AC, 0-50 Amps DC, 0-5 Amps AC, etc. with scale values such as 0-50, 0-75, 0-100, 0-150, 0-200 and so on. Many of these standard input ranges and scales can be found in the Panel Meters & Instrumentation section of our website.

But not every application is "standard". At Ram Meter Inc. we understand that every application is different and can sometimes require custom input ranges/scales. Maybe you would like colored arcs or even a company logo displayed. Fill out our online CONTACT FORM and we will assist in building the custom meter(s) that you need!
