The Helios large display high voltage and current meter 

boasts specifications, features and functionality that make it 

the only large display high voltage and current meter you will 

ever need. The big, bright 6-digit dual-line LED display that 

can be seen from 100 feet even in bright sunlight is the first 

thing you will notice about the Helios. The dual-line display 

can be used to display voltage in the range of 0-300 VAC or 

VDC on one line and  0-5 AAC or ADC on the other line.  In 

addition, a math channel P calculates apparent power as the 

product of the voltage and current inputs.

The enclosure is rated NEMA 4X which means you can install 

the Helios indoors and outdoors, exposed to moisture, dust 

and other adverse conditions. Other key features include four 

relays and 4-20 mA output option, function keys, and Modbus 

RTU serial communications. Finally, all these features and 

capabilities can easily be programmed with free MeterView 

Pro PC-based software.

Precision Digital also offers several accessories for the Helios 

to enhance the user experience:

●   AC current transformers that can step down a higher 

current to 0-5 AAC that can be read directly by the  

PD2-6400

 ●   Control Stations for remote programming and other 

functions
