Can I use the 52vdc source I'm measuring to power the meter?

No. The meter must be powered by a voltage between 4.5 - 30 VDC. It will happily measure the 52 VDC source, but you will need either a voltage regulator or a separate power source (like a battery pack) to power the meter. If you use a battery pack to power it, you will need to connect the (-) terminal of the battery to the (-) connection of the voltage source you are measuring so that they will have a common ground.

I'm sorry, I can't answer your question. I had to return mine because it was not compatible with my PSE&G; Smart Meter.

No you do not - simply connect it to the GPIO headers on a raspberry pi. The connector on the bottom is where the unit draws power from.

No. If you use a rectifier you would have less than 12vdc. I am pretty sure you just need to buy a 12vdc power supply

this is an ELECTRIC multimeter.... so if your instrument requires ELECTRICAL power then the answer is YES.

This meter can be powered from one 120 volt source, or two 120 volt sources if you want the LCD screen to read 240 volts. It does not require an AC power adapter, you can just rob power from your breaker panel. Run a wire from a 120 volt line into the meter and the screen will light up.

Have a look at the back of your power brick (you may need magnifier, I do), it will have an output value saying ___ VDC. If that is 12 or 19 then you should be good to go.

If you are asking if it has the ability to measure AC with a DC offset, then yes. You can choose to filter out the DC component (leaving only the AC wave form voltage difference), or keep it in, leaving the AC waveform elevated over ground with the appropriate DC voltage difference. This is what I believe you are looking to do. The company offers a copy of the software on their site which you can use in a demo mode to see the interface you will be working with. Somewhat related, you can also generate an AC waveform with a DC offset.

Yes you can. Works just fine. You can put a fuse between the positive poles if you'd like. It would protect meter from frying. Same type of fuses that you use in your car.

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 used this meter for general use low voltage 1v -28v dc and some 110v ac. This meter is auto ranging. Looks like your looking for meter that measures milli volts below 1 volt I would not buy this model.

Yes, the meter reads from 0 to 150 watts. My rig is just like yours in output and this meter works fine.

Sorry I can't help you on this yet. I bought these units to give me readouts on my battery supplies for my solar power system and I won't be putting the system together until this summer. The meters are in Montana at my cabin and I will be here in North Dakota working until spring. So don't have access to them or the paperwork that may have come with them.

No, you Can not!!!You need to plug in some equipment that transforms the energy to 110volts

The meter came with stripped wire ends. This Meter can be installed after a 30' wire source. You could connect 2 gauge wire by soldering and covering with heat shrink tubing or electrical tape. The meter is used for low voltage 12-20 volts DC and is used to monitor solar charging and other low voltage DC use. Mine worked well.

Not 100% sure with that question, I purchased my Home Power source for a Belkin product

520 watts is far below the 1875 watt limit of the converter. May be a problem with continuous use.
