Desktop Meter Qualification Board (2199)
TESCO’s Desktop Meter Qualification Board (Model 2199) provides a compact, all-in-one solution for testing electric meters and verifying communications. Designed for flexibility and precision, the 2199 simulates real-world voltage and load conditions—including complex, non-sinusoidal waveforms—to test meter performance across a wide range of scenarios.
Perfect for labs, engineering departments, or field support teams, this system allows for disconnect/reconnect testing without concern for driving internal meter switches. Built with a fully programmable power source and a zero insertion force socket, this board offers convenience, repeatability, and accuracy—right from your desktop.
