MULTI-POSITION TEST BOARD

WECO 8000

The WECO 8000 Meter Test Station is a first‑of‑its-kind, Multi‑Position Test Board that combines meter qualification, meter demand, and meter accuracy testing in a single, modular rack‑mount station.

Instead of maintaining separate boards for functional testing and accuracy testing, the WECO 8000 brings all capabilities under one roof — delivering both versatility and economy. Its integrated design supports a variety of meter forms, enabling utilities, meter shops, or labs to test many meter types without switching equipment.

Featuring the RADIAN Direct Drive Current Source (DDCS) technology, the WECO 8000 delivers accurate, stable loads — offering users the precision of an accuracy test board along with the flexibility of a qualification board.

Product Highlights

The WECO 8000 stands out by combining independent multi‑position testing with high‑accuracy load capabilities. Each socket position in the rack is modular, 19″‑mounted, and operates independently — meaning a single faulty socket can be serviced without shutting down the rest of the test station.

With a built‑in NIST‑traceable reference standard, the WECO 8000 ensures measurement accuracy and stability within ± 0.05%. High‑conductivity Smart Sockets™ — with silver and gold contact surfaces and electronic socket control — deliver reliable, low‑insertion‑force meter connections, extending hardware lifespan while accommodating multiple meter forms.

Features

Flexible. Safe. Accurate.

Multi‑Position Rack Mount Design — Supports multiple meters simultaneously; each socket module is independent and serviceable without affecting others.
Smart Socket™ Technology — Low‑insertion‑force sockets with high‑conduction silver/gold contacts and electronic socket control provide robust, long‑lasting connections.
Direct Drive Current Source (DDCS) — Enables accurate load generation for both meter qualification and full accuracy testing.
Meter Form Support — 1S, 2S, 3S, 4S, 5S, 6S, 8S, 9S, 10S, 12S, 13S, 14S, 15S, 16S, 19S, 20S, 21S, 25S, 26S, 29S, 32S, 35S, 36S, 45S, 46S, 56S, & 66S
Embedded Reference Standard — Provides NIST‑traceable accuracy and measurement stability for reliable test results.
Safety & Protection Features — Exposed sockets remain deactivated; each socket module has circuit breakers (no fuses to replace). A centralized emergency‑off and individual socket power switches enhance user safety.
Laser‑Based Optics System — Provides reliable detection for mechanical disc meters (via black‑mark detection) and infrared pulse counting for electronic meters, ensuring compatibility across meter technologies.
LED Indicators for Voltage & Current Generation — Clear visual feedback shows when voltage/current are active, and line‑side vs. load‑side voltage LEDs help verify meter disconnect switch operation.
