TESCO, The Eastern Specialty Company, has introduced the FTS-2990 Field Test Meter Station to allow precise energy grid meter testing in the field. The FTS-2990 allows for lab-like precision testing during on-site installation, maintenance or performance testing.

Meter accuracy testing is typically performed in controlled lab settings, where precise instruments can be used to validate performance. However, there are many situations where meters must be tested on-site, such as during installation, maintenance, or when a meter’s performance is in question.

The introduction of the TESCO FTS-2990 Field Test Meter Station provides on-site technicians with lab-quality testing in the field.

The TESCO FTS-2990 Field Test Meter Station is based on the TESCO DTS-2990 Desktop Meter Station, a tool used by metering labs across the United States. The TESCO FTS-2990 is designed to bring the same level of reliability and accuracy to the field,

The TESCO FTS-2990 has the ability to test every conventional ANSI meter form. Advanced waveform generation capability ensures that technicians can test the full range of meters currently in use with precision. The TESCO FTS-2990 eliminates the need for bulky, multiple pieces of equipment, delivering all the tools necessary for accurate field testing in one portable, rugged package.

“The TESCO FTS-2990 is a game changer for field technicians. They can test any meter form with a single piece of equipment. The FTS-2990 brings a fully featured lab-quality testing apparatus right to the field, ensuring the highest standards of accuracy wherever it’s needed. We’ve made it easy to transport by designing the unit to fit within a wheeled, rugged Pelican Case, greatly simplifying the work of our technicians. The feature density outclasses all other field-testing solutions on the market, offering unmatched versatility in meter testing and performance in one compact unit,” said Tom Lawton, President & CEO of TESCO.
