All of our products are backed with a 2 year limited parts and labor as well as Seattle based support Specifications For a multimeter the USB C Amperage and Voltage Tester USBC VAMETER manages to fit a lot of useful features into a sturdy little package. About the size of a USB flash drive this bidirectional USB tester allows for full USB data passthrough while it monitors USB C power and charging measures voltage and amperage even visualizes the directional flow of electrical current–all in real time. Connect the VAMETER inline between a USB C host system like a laptop tablet or cell phone and a charger to use it as a USB voltage meter or power consumption meter. An updated OLED screen means a brighter and easier to read display in any lighting conditions and a new orientation button lets you flip the screen with a click. How it works This meter is a transparent interposer–it should not interfere with the USB data 1.1 through 3.1 Gen 2 USB C Alternate Mode video or USB C charging. The meter can be used in line with USB C docking stations chargers and other USB C accessories. The meter is able to achieve this without interfering with normal USB C operation as it only taps into the power VBUS and ground connections to measure values and leaves the data lines untouched. Common uses Connecting between a USB C host system like a laptop tablet or cell phone and a charger to monitor charge information. Connecting between a USB C host and docking station to monitor charge information. Connecting between a USB C host system and a USB C bus powered accessory like an external hard drive flash drive etc to measure power draw of a device. Testing for USB C port spec compliance such as a VBUS hot condition voltage drop under load etc. Important notes This meter is not meant to replace professional USB C test equipment it is designed for quick easy measurements for users of any skill level. Not compatible with Intel Thunderbolt 3 devices.

In The Box Item and Quantity Item Notes 1x USBC VAMETER USB To Devices Port Placement Version and Link Rate Features Voltage Amperage Wattage 1x USB C Side USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps 20V 5000mA 100W Connection To Host Port Placement Version and Link Rate Features 1x USB C Side USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps Get Started Simply plug your USB C device and USB C charging data cable into either side of the USB C Voltage and Amperage Meter. The meter is bi directional so which side is used for input or output does not matter. If current is flowing the meter's display should turn on and show the flow direction amperage voltage and approximate charge rate in watts. note that under normal circumstances the meter will not power on without a device connected host charger accessory etc at both ends. If the meter turns on when only connected at one end the attached device is "VBUS hot" which is against USB C specifications. On the side of the USBC VAMETER there is a small button that can be pressed to rotate the screen 180 degrees which can be helpful for reading the screen depending on the orientation that the device is in.
