There are 3 unmarked openings below the meter face, which are unmarked. Can you please tell me what the holes are for? The instructions for this meter is very poorThank you

I do not have your mentioned openings. Sorry, but I cannot help you on this one.

The size or range of the capacitor meter I also did not fine this meter very accurate and sent it back.

Honestly the directions are confusing and I would put it to you this way. Unless you get a capacitor with a resistor on with a diode I think you'll be fine should you have a diode just reverse the wires so it will flow through. BUT if it flows in both directions then your self discharging capacitor has a blown diode. Other than that you can test a cap any which way I have found even though I do wonder why the lack of info. It has worked well for me and I understand it is a Made in China simplistic tool but its simple and cheap for quick diagnostics. I only use it for HVAC work.

The 2 sensing devices (one for each 120v phase & respective meter) are ferrite 'donuts', each through which runs a leg of the hot conductors. You could add additional wire to extend the reach of the donut, but I have the conductor running straight thru this box and directly into the circuit breaker panel. New or old? I don't know, but not sure what you'd expect to improve on beyond this classic meter technology.

if you are doing everything right there should be no alarm. i did find mine going off if the probes were not fully pudshed in at the meter end. hope this helps. the proper funtion for where vyou have the probes plugged in need to be the right selection .. like slelecting amps while pugged in to volts or visa versa ,will cause an alarm .

Assuming that the meter worked properly in the past, I would make sure that the wiring connections to the meter are clean and secure. The possibility of corrosion increases with time. If this issue has come on slowly, corrosion may well be the culprit. Good luck.

Hi Karl Yes, my light also has the same configuration. Not sure what the additional hole is for but there is a corresponidng hole in my light socket. I think some light poles and sockets have 3 pins, presumably for additional power or lighting options. Alternatively it just may be to allow water to drain out so that water doesn't build up and short out the wiring. Regards Rob

Hi Myke, My experience with several of these type meters is that with the meter upright, and looking at the back, there is typically a "-" sign molded in the plastic of the case near the right side connector. Of about ten of these of various amperages, I did have one where this side turned out to be the "positive" post. I suggest passing a small current through the meter to verify polarity. If deflection is in the wrong direction, just swap connections. These meters will tolerate some reverse current without trouble. I am very happy with mine and have more coming. Good luck!

On my installation, I needed the two 45 deg elbows for the connection to the suction inlet where the hose is connected. My inlet (hole) is pointed down so I have to go 90 deg to get to the hose, thus two 45 deg elbows does this. Since on my pool there is a flap at the opening to where the water flows into the suction hole, the protector goes over the hose to help keep it from rubbing on the flap. The flow gauge is used to check the suction of your pump. If it is too high or too low the Baracuda won't work right. Since this is not my first Baracuda, I didn't need this check. I set the part that goes into the suction hole to the middle notch and it worked OK. If not I would have tried the other notches.

Use the stainless steel one that Amazon sells separately, the ones that come with the meter will apparently be damaged above 400 deg.F

You can try it, worse case just send it back, but I don't think it will work. Maybe you could see if you can mount it on your meter. It's a very helpful tool.

I don't know of an online diagram for it. I just checked all of my assumptions on a multimeter, rather than trusting documentation. If you have specific questions, I will be happy to help.

I'm sorry....I can't answer that, but, if you call the company that made your meter....they should be able to answer your question.

I had a bit of a problem at first. I would measure the hole and measure the part that goes into the hole. If theyaren't the same, you may have to return it. I think we had to make the receptor hole a little bit bigger but I hadsomeone that could do that for me professionally.

Hole pattern is too small (lengthwise). Assuming that you are talking about a wall-plate such as an outlet wall-plate.

Sorry. I replaced an old one, and there was a plate there already. It looks like a standard electrical hole and thread (like conduit), though.

I doubt there's anything wrong with your meter. All analog meters I've known are zeroed with the set screw located at the center of the movement. Many meters I've know have been able to be adjusted over a large span. Try it ... ideally, the meter's zero should be approximately in the center of the screw's range. If one side of the zero is much less than the other then, yes, you may want to exchange it.

There are access slits on the side. They work great. Very happy with the ffit and installation.

Either you have an open cat or your meter lacks sensitivityAlfred Bunge answered on June 11, 2014Edit this answer
