Description
A-Base meters may no longer be your day-to-day standard, but utility shops often encounter them during replacements or decommissioning cycles. TESCO’s A-Base Test Board Adapters offer a reliable and cost-effective way to bring these meters back onto the bench for validation or retirement testing.
Whether you’re processing a handful of A-Base meters or tackling a large removal project, TESCO has the solution. Our A-Base Test Board Adapters let you bring these older meter forms into your current test setup with minimal effort—no rewiring or reconfiguration required.
If you only have a few to test, TESCO can handle the job for you in-house. But when volume increases, our adapters allow your team to efficiently test in your own facility using your existing test board infrastructure.
Don’t let form-factor stand in the way of your workflow. With the TESCO A-Base Test Board Adapter, testing legacy meters is just as seamless as testing the latest models.
