Echronos: digital timer for energy meters

Infrared pulse counter and timer for the stopwatch test of energy meters, cutting human error in the field and in the lab.

Timing starts at the meter’s first pulse after pressing START, so the reading is synchronized with the meter itself. The pulse count and elapsed time give the accuracy and reveal tampering.

What we did

  • Three boards: main board with PIC18F4480, 5 V boost and Li-Ion charger
  • IR pulse sensor with 3D-printed body
  • Firmware, enclosure, labels and user manual
