Re: [AFMUG] Injector Current Monitoring and Overcurrent Protection.

We monitor the current being used on the sync injectors, but don't have any alerts set on abnormally high/low conditions. When I look at the current usage, I only really am looking for "ballpark values". So I don't expect extreme accuracy, but being able to monitor the value within a parsec wo

I agree, being able to check current is nice, but I really don't think it's particularly important. On Wed, Sep 23, 2015 at 8:04 PM, Josh Luthman wrote: > Not even worth $5 IMO. > > I've never ever once used the feature on your products. I measure the > amperage with an amp meter to know the dr

+1 I'd like good accuracy, but it's not that important. I have had surge suppressors fail in a way where they still work but the power consumption nearly doubled. If I can get any indication of this from my couch, it's a helpful feature. Also, I can look at a number of SyncInjectors and see so

Not even worth $5 IMO. I've never ever once used the feature on your products. I measure the amperage with an amp meter to know the draw. That's the end of it. I would MUCH prefer self resetting fuses - faster and cheaper. Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St S

So, I think I've about got the design for the next iteration of injectors nailed down, with one exception. I'm not quite sure what to do about overcurrent protection. Let me ask this question up front: How important is it to be able to read the current being drawn by each radio? In the current
