Please add your request for features to be added to a future version of the ZS-2102-A. Since hardware revision is time consuming task, we would debate a lot before implementing them. However all your requests would be considered and a suitable reason would be provided for rejection or acceptance.
One of the comments I received from Otso was that the power profiler lacks input protection against short circuit of the battery. This is a very good finding and a fuse was a good option to add to the tool. However, there is an option to add a fuse to the wires being used in the measurement. There are in-line fuses available which can be inserted by cutting the Banana to Alligator clip cables shipped with the ZS2102A.With this the inputs shall be protected against accidental shorts. Adding a fuse would not alter the current measurement accuracy of the power profiler.
A suitable fuse is available online https://www.amazon.in/Prettyia-Holder-Inline-Screw-Conversion/dp/B07PKRFDF7/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=5X20mm+fuse+holder&qid=1559902663&s=automotive&sr=1-3
We plan to include them in our future shipment of the products.
Thanks Otso for pointing out this obvious miss.
I'm wondering why the jack spacing on the ZS-1100-A is just off from standard BNC to dual-banana jacks - see attached image
. I use these on all of my bench supplies and DVM and have an array of cables and clips I can use with them. Unless this discrepancy was intentional, it would be great if this could be addressed on the next hardware rev.
Well, this was indeed a bug in the front panel design. The objective was to keep the banana posts at exactly 3/4" apart. The holes to mount the banana jack female connectors on the panel was not exactly a full circle. It had a small cutout on one edge. With that cut in place, I made an error in the centre to centre calculation. Error of 1mm.
The next builds will have them fixed.

Hi Folks,
Thanks for the quick response. Glad to hear that compatibility to standard banana posts was the goal. I would really love it if there was an upgrade path - might there be an option for those of us with the current unit to buy the panel face from the next build?
