Voltmeter/Voltage Full Scale Range Selection* 

Voltmeter (4 digit) 

Ammeter/Current Full Scale Range Selection* 

Ammeter (4 digit. Includes two range indicators. AMPS displays actual current. 

For K AMPS, multiply the display by 1000 for the actual current.) 

Wattmeter (4 digit. Includes two range indicators. WATTS displays actual power. 

For K WATTS, multiply the display by 1000 for the actual power.)

* The WCL488 Series offers the selectable full-scale ranges for current and voltage. When a 

full scale is selected it changes the full scale of the meter, the current sample, the front panel 

adjustments, IEEE controlled adjustments and the analog programming input. This provides an 

increase in accuracy and resolution. There are three standard full-scale current ranges and three 

standard full-scale voltage ranges.
