Meter Site Analyzer
6330
-
Need an all-in-one field test kit? TESCO’s Meter Site Analyzer is the most versatile and complete tool for testing the entire functionality of transformer-rated metering installations in a convenient, portable, and ULTRA lightweight kit—only 17.8 lbs! As a utility, the vast majority of revenue comes from large customers who have transformer-rated services. At transformer rated sites the opportunity for something to go wrong is much greater than at a self-contained site. Studies have shown that at transformer-rated sites, the vast majority of issues are related to wiring, CTs, PTs and other issues. If you want to be sure that the customer is billed correctly and you are not losing revenue, you must test the whole site, not just the meter. TESCO’s all-in-one 6330 Meter Site Analyzer gives you the most versatile site testing tool available in a small, lightweight package. No other test system has the functionality of:

AMI Meter Farms
-
Do you have new AMI meters going into the field? Or have you already deployed your new meters, but will have firmware upgrades soon? Allow us to introduce the TESCO Meter Farm, our newest offering to support your AMI Meter Deployment. The Meter Farm powers up banks of meters and runs a current load through each meter. TESCO Meter Farms are designed to serve as a cost effective method for testing communication, functionality and firmware upgrades from your meter manufacturer(s). The Meter Farm can be used as part of the qualification process prior to deployment, but has been more popular as a post deployment tool to allow large scale testing of all new releases of firmware over hundreds or even thousands of meter points prior to upgrading the entire system. The Meter Farm can also be used to perform long term testing for new hardware releases prior to introducing later generation meters into the field. As with all of our products, the TESCO Meter Farm is built with the tradition of reliability and ruggedness.
