Will this device work with a demand type meter?

Not even sure what a kind of meter that is. Sorry. I will say you will be better off buying one of the better ( Higher priced) units. You can hook the sensors right on the wires inside the circuit box in the house. This one is cheap junk with no support and are not even sold by B&D; anymore.

Based on a definition I found on line that follows Meter An electric demand meter measures electricity usage over periods of 15 minutes on a dial, with the highest rate of electricity usage over a 15 minute period recorded by the meter. The highest kilowatt use over a 15 minute period during a billing period is recorded until a meter reader resets the electric demand meter. Based on that the meter dial is moving just like a regular meter does, the unit should work. It reads the black dial portion of the dial every time it passes and the more power used the faster the dial goes and the unit calculates the usage based on that and the information you input at set up. I don't use mine to get total usage or dollars, I use it to monitor the usage peaks and to find out what is running and if it should be etc. I doubt that you would get as good a reading as a meter I don't believe this unit to be that precise, but if you are just trying to get an idea of the usage it should work. If you need more of a precise answer, I'd contact Black and Decker. Hope this helps.

The max output of a usb will widely vary depending on what you attach to it. If you are using this to just measure output from a non-usb thing, this meter may not work at all. For example, if I use a special charging cable that is not a data cable, this meter does not work.

You will need to add a shunt for the amperage, but it should work. I would recommend encapsulating the back of the meter with clear epoxy to prevent damage from vibration.

No, but I can tell you that it will work with an inverter that has sufficient wattage. JeffT, BSEE

I have no idea and I'm not going to try.In general the meter seems pretty robust at measuring large, variable loads in the direction it was designed to measure. My application was an electric bike with a typical voltage above 50vDC and loads all the way up to 1.5kw.

No, it only acts as a switch to control one of the two outlets, based on the commands of the controller. Amount of Watts used is not tracked by this device.

I have not had any problems with the meter, I am not sure what you are wanting to check the frequency of, but I use it on HVAC equipment and check frequency once in a while and it works for checking that.

Yes , this meter will do this, plus it is capable of using for many other electrical measurements.I really like mine

I have the same meter. If you purchase a 50-test strip vial that comes in a package with a 7098C code on the bottom of it, the strips should work with your meter.

Unfortunately, it will not. It will give a lot of real time measurements and do a watt-hour summary for and time starting at the time it is plugged in but this probably won't help you. You will get real time current usage if you want to watch your amp draw current as you play with volume and speaker loads.Hope this helps.

As long as the device you intended to control is 120vac and the current consumed is equal or less of the rated outlet. You are free to connect any device you want.

I don't see why not, I have mine hooked up to my batteries so basically I'm using it like a multi-meter.as long as you're not going over the voltage rated for the meter.use caution as most 12v panels exceed 20v open curcuit.

Yes it will. It will tell y the wattage, volt, amps that ar being used in the outlet it's plugged in.

The Lascar works great for what it is made for but not the best device for your purpose. I would think something like the following would work better. You would have to install it though in some way that they didn't have access to it. http://www.amazon.com/P3-P4400-Electricity-Usage-Monitor/dp/B00009MDBU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1403682570&sr=8-1&keywords=watt+meter

I'm not familiar with the Reliance Prime Meter. I don't know if it will work or not.

Definitely not! Our electric company will provide us with a special meter that can plug into ANY device, and it shows you how much energy is being used and at what cost. They should probably look into something like that in their state. But we did not see any significant increase like that. Sorry you are experiencing such an issue, because it really is a great product, and our son and daughter have both benefited from its use. Good luck!

It works with most newer meters. The older flukes had the much larger connector which u then connected an adaptor to.
