Power

Our NEMA 4 & 5 certified APM’s are built to last, and the dynamic backlight alerts operators to problems even in low light conditions.

Motor Control Centers

Spot those issues at a glance.

Our APMs tell the whole story in a single glance. It’s the easiest to use, easiest to read panel meter in the world. The unique, color-changing display gives an instant indication of levels as well as precise readings for control in any environment.

Think smaller. Save bigger.

A different meter and model for every scale and parameter? Not anymore! The APM is easily programmable to display almost any scale. Use one model for multiple applications and ranges and save yourself time, space and money.

This one’s built to last.

Your systems are built to last and your meters should be, too. A delicate analog needle can fail fast, but the APM is bulletproof with no moving parts. Plus, it’s CE and UL certified and rated IP65 and NEMA 4 & 12.

Not EXACTLY what you were looking for?

You visualize. We customize. We’ll even build a meter designed just for you. Our design, manufacturing and supply-chain management expertise are all under one roof and we’ll roll out the red carpet for your genius ideas.

From vacuum furnaces to annealing ovens, the APM has been integrated into a range of products to monitor voltage and current, instantly indicating the status for operators.

Products That Work for Ovens & Furnaces

Our customers who manufacture electric ovens and furnaces rely on these meters, which are big on accuracy and look pretty slick while they’re at it.


Welding

Our Advanced Panel Meter (APM) helps operators achieve the perfect weld every time while delivering a modern, easy-to-use interface.

Don’t miss a thing.

It’s critical for welders to monitor equipment during the welding process: too far out of spec and quality is going down the tubes. The APM’s back-lit display is far easier to monitor than an analog needle, especially through a mask and smoke.

Alarmingly simple protection.

We’re pretty sure you’re not going to find a better or more intuitive display, but sometimes distractions kick in. The APMs programmable alarm setpoints give operators that extra heads up they need to fix issues before they become a problem.

Precision they can repeat.

Welders need to maintain the same voltage and current across jobs. Our innovative bar graph display makes it a piece of cake to monitor the rate of change and repeat a quality weld every time.

Custom FLI for Home Filtration System

See a battery powered custom filter life indicator we developed for a whole home filtration system with a flow and time based algorithm and filter status notifications via mobile app.

The Customer

This company has specialized in designing, developing and manufacturing whole house filtration systems for more than 20 years. We worked with them on one of their leading products, which removes 97% of chlorine, heavy metals, pesticides and other chemicals from water. The filtration happens at a single point when water enters the house so all water sources are “soft” and free of contaminants.

The Challenge

  • Measure flow through two independent filters to predict replacement timeline
  • Notify the end consumer about filter status via mobile app
  • Design a long-lasting battery powered solution
  • Minimize cost to ensure commercial viability

The Solution

A dedicated project manager and engineering team worked in close collaboration with the customer from concept to manufacturing.

We first presented concepts to the customer to ensure alignment on vision. During this phase we established we would need to combine data from two independent filters to accurately measure gallons remaining before replacement. We also established that we would need to monitor a combination of time and flow for the best results.

After ensuring alignment on this vision, we developed a detailed product specification with careful attention to manufacturing implications. At Trumeter, we recognize that every design decision must be planned with manufacturing in mind in order to effectively project and manage costs.

Our engineering team developed the first prototype with a custom algorithm and Bluetooth integrated mobile app leveraging our software development expertise. We also leveraged our our design expertise in low-power electronics for long-lasting battery life and our industrial design expertise for a custom display.

At Trumeter, we are big on verification and validation, and these designs went through a comprehensive Design For Manufacturability (DFM) review to ensure we could manufacture them at the desired cost. Throughout the final manufacturing process, we worked closely with the customer to make sure they hit their market entry date on budget and with sufficient inventory.

Flow Metering

Our Advanced Panel Meter (APM) is the go-to meter for flow metering manufacturers around the globe.

Don’t miss a thing.

It’s critical for operators to know if the flow rate is getting too high or low before a problem happens. The APM’s back-lit display and scalable bar graph make it far easier to monitor than an analog needle.

You’ve got options.

The APM is designed to work with a wide range of sensors, including thermocouples and pressure transducers. A 4-20mA output comes standard so the meter can be used with data loggers, PLCs and VFDs.

Alarmingly simple protection.

We’re pretty sure you’re not going to find a better or more intuitive display, but sometimes distractions kick in. The APMs programmable alarm setpoints give operators that extra heads up they need to fix issues before they become a problem.
