Tired of waiting for access to a production test board? Tired of wasting time going to another
building to use test equipment? Need flexibility, state -of-the-art performance, and ease of use?
If so, then TESCO’s revolutionary 2990 Desktop Meter Test Station (DTS-2990) is the answer to
what you need.
The 2990 revolutionizes meter testing by providing full series parallel meter testing in a small,
budget-friendly desktop package.
A fully ANSI compliant test board, it offers complete testing of all meters under the widest range
of test conditions. It can perform Manual Test, Sequence Testing, PLC Test, and Disconnect Test
for meters with a wide array of forms. It has a database for storing and viewing of the test data.
The new waveform generator has all waveforms called out in ANSI C12.20-2015 (pub. 4/2017).
All common electromechanical and solid-state meters up to 50 amps can be tested with the
2990 using the single voltage and three isolated current sources.
For more than 110 years customers have trusted TESCO for accuracy and reliability. When you
think metering, think TESCO.
