Ordinary panel meters and most multimeters are designed for DC or 60 Hz household AC and give the wrong numbers on a DCC signal. The RRampMeter measures true RMS volts and amps on DCC, and reads AC and DC as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eVersion I is the bare circuit module without an enclosure, the version meant for mounting in a control panel or fascia. Wire it in line between your booster and the track and you get a constant readout of track voltage and how much current your trains are drawing. It's the easiest way to set booster output to the right voltage for your decoders and sound units, and to spot a section that's running close to its limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasures:\u003c\/strong\u003e DCC, AC and DC volts and amps (true RMS, ±2%)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDCC range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7–28 V, up to 10 A\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two 3-digit LED readouts, one for voltage and one for current\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e No battery needed on DCC; it runs from the track power it's measuring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndicators:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two LEDs show whether DCC or AC is present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bare circuit module (board about 5.6\" long) with terminals for your layout wiring; no case or clip leads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e All scales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eItem #:\u003c\/strong\u003e 246-RAMPMETER1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip:\u003c\/strong\u003e To read current, the meter has to be wired in line.
