DESCRIPTION
SOLID STATE DIGITAL
METER MODULES
Applications
These models offer a variety of functions, sizes,
voltages and customizable options to fit most
applications. Ideal for OEMs, contract manu-
facturers, and panel makers for monitoring
equipment usage, scheduling maintenance,
warranty validation, rental/leasing use and
more. Used extensively in industrial, agricultural,
military & specialty vehicles, as well as applica-
tions such as: vending machines, medical &
office equipment, fuel pumps, and consumer
products.
