Product Code : EL-ARTVMCT-1232
Jlab Export is a leading Portable Meter Manufacturer,and suppliers in India

Portable Meter (code EL-ARTVMCT-1232) is a bench-top moving-coil ammeter or voltmeter in a teak wood case, made to any range up to 10 A or 500 V for measurements and meter checks in physics and electrical labs, polytechnics and ITI workshops. It has a 15 cm scale with an edge pointer and parallax mirror, and a listed accuracy of ±1%. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Portable Meter Used For?

A portable meter of this kind is the instrument a lab keeps on the bench for reading current and voltage more closely than a small panel meter allows. It is used to take measurements in electrical circuits experiments, to check the panel ammeters and voltmeters fitted to trainers and power supplies, and as the reference meter when students compare instruments in college physics, engineering, polytechnic and ITI electrical labs. Because the range is made to order, a department can match each meter to its typical work — a low current range for electronics benches, a higher one for motor and transformer experiments.

The design features serve accurate reading. In a moving-coil movement the deflection is proportional to the current through the coil, which gives the evenly divided, linear scale; a strong magnet raises the deflecting torque, and jewelled bearings keep friction low so the pointer settles smoothly. To read the meter, line the edge pointer up with its reflection in the mirror strip, so that your eye is square to the scale and parallax error is removed. Connect an ammeter in series and a voltmeter across the load, choose a range above the value you expect, check that the pointer rests on zero before switching on, and carry the meter level and without jolts, as jewelled bearings are sensitive to shock.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Quantity measured and range — ammeter or voltmeter, and the full-scale value you need, up to 10 A or 500 V.
• DC or AC — the listing describes a moving-coil movement, which responds to direct current; say if you need AC measurement and ask JLab to confirm the version.
• Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units; list each range you need with its quantity.
• Companion items — rheostats, standard resistances or a meter calibration unit can be added to the same enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the portable meter used for?
Measuring current or voltage on the lab bench and checking panel meters against a better-read instrument, in physics and electrical labs, polytechnics and ITI workshops.

Which ranges can I order?
Any range up to 10 A for current or up to 500 V for voltage. Give the full-scale value you want in your enquiry.

How accurate is it?
The listed accuracy is ±1%. The 15 cm scale, edge pointer and parallax mirror help users read the pointer position precisely.

Why does the scale have a mirror?
When the pointer and its reflection line up, your eye is directly above the pointer, so the reading is free of parallax error — the error caused by viewing the pointer at an angle.

Can it measure AC?
The listing does not say. A moving-coil movement responds to direct current, and AC measurement needs a rectifier, so state whether you need DC or AC and JLab will confirm the version in its quotation.

What is needed for an export quotation?
The ranges and quantities, whether DC or AC, the destination country and port or city, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, any packing or labelling instructions, and the tender reference if there is one.

Who manufactures the portable meter?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India; quotations come directly from the manufacturer.

OEM Manufacturer

JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, an electrical and physics lab instrument manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The portable meter is produced at JLab’s own works instead of being bought in from a trader, so colleges, training institutes, dealers and importers order it factory-direct; every meter is visually inspected before dispatch and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. The company’s GSTIN is 06AADCJ9848D1ZE and its Legal Entity Identifier is 549300DTGS77DGYD6N03. JLab exports worldwide and ships to every region — for example to Kazakhstan in Central Asia, Botswana in Southern Africa, Sweden in Northern Europe, the USA in North America and Tanzania in East Africa. Tender information is available on the JLab lab tenders page.

Instruments to Use with the Portable Meter

• Calibration of Voltmeter & Ammeter — a compact unit for calibrating a voltmeter and an ammeter with a DC potentiometer.
• Standard Resistance — oil-immersed manganin resistors used as current-measuring standards when checking ammeters.
• Slide Wire Rheostats — for setting the current in the circuit under test.
• Ohms Meter — a battery-operated moving-coil meter on a Bakelite plate for resistance checks.
• D'Arsonval Galvanometer — a Bakelite-cased galvanometer on a tripod with an adjustable scale, for null and small-current detection.
