I've looked for hours!

I'm searching for a mountable digital voltmeter that can handle up to 70 volts. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be a lot of help.

Thanks in advance.

Get a multimeter instead.

A good Fluke might cost a couple hundred US, but it's worth it.

Amazon.com has them.

Actually a B&K Precision DMM will do the job really well also. Bit cheaper then Fluke and just as accurate.

You could also just use a voltage divider (two resistors) and get accurate results.

If you check the product data sheet on this one they show you how to make it work up to 2000 V

Can you tell me that 70 volts is AC or DC? Just asking. Smile
My digital voltmeter can measure 220 volt AC. I bought it at my local store.

I think just two resistor is not enough because each resistor have difference value. I think if you want it precision you should use multiturn. Rolling Eyes
