Please note that we have not published a new manual for the PM II yet. In the meantime, please download the original Power Master Manual as the basic functions of the meter have not changed - only been enhanced. Now that we have the new production hardware, our team is finalizing some new functions and features that will be added through a firmware update in the very near future.

Some of the Many Features

bullet

ALC-1 - ALC protection option, shuts down your transmitter fast but yet allows ALC normal operation

bullet

FASTEST Bar graph on the Market, makes tuning an amp or a tuner a joy, faster than an analog meter. So fast it can catch the first "dit" at 99 WPM and even show you if your rig has a RF spike problem.  Why mess around with other meters that have have had display failures?

bullet

Displays VSWR, Power, and Bar graph at the same time.

bullet

Runs with or without a PC connected to it. That means there are no programming hassles and issues setting this meter up. Runs right out of the box.

bullet

Accuracy typically better than +/- 3% over frequency and temperature ranges

bullet

Commercial couplers available for VHF and UHF commercial bands

bullet

Peak Hold Modes – programmable for fast(1/2 sec), medium, slow, and Long ( 5 sec) for CW, SSB, data, FM, whatever you're sending!

bullet

Two Models – 3 kW and 10 kW

bullet

Separate Display and Coupler/Sensor boxes–  Sensor can be remotely located at your amp or in your mobile unit this also keeps the high power cables away from your radios, audio equipment, PCs etc.  No nasty RF cables on top of your desk or radio to cause RFI and other clutter issues! The coupler is using DC only, no RF is sent to the meter. A good thing!

bullet

Remote use, even 100 feet of cable between sensor and display has no drop in power measurement. None.

bullet

Multiple couplers on one display - the PM II supports two couplers without any external adapters

bullet

VSWR Alarm – programmable trip point, LED and Relay – Can shut down your amp fast!

bullet

Power Alarm -  programmable trip point, LED and Relay - Alerts you that your amp has tripped out

bullet

Alarms can maintain until manually reset, or you can program an auto alarm reset

bullet

Bar Graph – Operates in two modes, Auto Ranging Power and VSWR you can peak your amp sending dots or talking into a mic, or dip your VSWR with your tuner using dots. Easy on the tubes and efficient.

bullet

Bar Graph in Power mode – Auto Ranging in user selectable ranges – Easy to read

bullet

Large LCD Display – Easy to read even in bright sunlight - low energy consumtion

bullet

Programmable from front panel or via USB or RS232 – Even display your call letters in it too!

bullet

Free Application for your PC - Will allow remote user’s full use of meter even on the internet

bullet

All Metal Boxes – Rack Mount Options available, 1 or 2 units in a 19” 2U panel

bullet

Choice of connectors, SO239, Type-N, and 7/16 DIN

bullet

Display Head Size 7” X 3 3/4" Face, 4 1/2” Deep

BUY the PowerMaster - PRICE LIST

Why not buy the same VSWR Power meter that is used by industry for critical monitoring functions?

Used by industry for critical testing - above shows 10 PowerMasters testing 10 RF generators.

 19 Inch Rack mounting kits are available
