When I put the meter on Voltage setting and nothing is connected to it, the display is all over the place showing all kinds of random values. Me only?

Also it is probably in millivolts since it is an auto meter...I thought the same at first until I realized this.
1026024
Same here. I think it is the auto-ranging function. Turn off the auto-ranging and it should settle down. I have zero variability when set to volts range. Given the price of the meter I decided not to worry about this glitch.

U can zero it by touching the leads together...most meters do the same thing and depending where u r there is electricity all around as is shown on am oscilloscope.

It will do that on the milliVolt scale especially. Set the Range to Volts and the reading will be close to zero.

U can also check out mjlorton on YouTube...he reviews the meter...great for the price.

Bad connection?? I haven't had this happen. Been using the gauges about 2 years now. If voltage is right around the cutoff of 4.5V I suppose it could blink on/off as the voltage hovers around that point. Gauge puts a tiny load on system so volts would drop, then without the load V would increase again over 4.5V so it would light up again, and the cycle would repeat.

Try fresh set of batteries as 1st step- What makes u think meter not working?

Yes, this is a voltmeter, so it will read whatever the voltage is at the time, it doesn't have any memory capability.

They're all important, and any voltage that isn't being supplied will cause problems or just plain not work. That being said the less on these power supplies go out all the time so be sure your tester is working, You can do this by testing a power supply you know works

Check your power source going in and make sure you have something in the area of 120 volts feeding your driver. Make sure your connections are clean, that there isn't a lot of shielding wrapped up in the wire nut. How far are you from the driver when measuring? If you're measuring at the driver and only reading this, have good connections, and your power source is around 120 volts, it could be the driver. Are you sure your ammeter is working well. Bad leads on the meter can give you erroneous readings.

The meter has the sensor built into its back panel and it has a hole that the ac wire is placed thru to measure the amperage. You also need to supply 120 VAC to it to power the display.

With three failures in a row I would (from 30 years of being an industrial electrician) I would inspect your wall sockets. Sometimes these are just connected with the "push" in cheapo deal(It's common in cheaply built homes) instead of the much better wire wrapped and secured by the screw terminal type. I've dealt with situations, even though I would get 120 volts on the meter, things wouldn't run (in this case a forced air furnace). It was an old home and by installing new receptacles and securing the wires properly to the terminals I cured the problem. Good luck.

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 was a slide switch to set the voltage output. My unit went up in smoke as soon as plugged in. It also damaged the equipment it was plugged into. My recommendation is not to use, send it back for a refund before your other equipment is damaged. T H

not wired correctlymake sure to test the polarity and voltage of the post that you attached it toIf not the full voltage of 36 or 48 whatever your cart is it will give that orange/red indicatorIf no voltage meter available just start going to different battery post

I've never seen that on my display before. Change batteries maybe? Sounds to me to be a bad unit. I dont know of a reset button. But you can test it with boiling water. Maybe the manufacturer can help you. They may know how to reset it.

This is a power supply and it has to regulate voltage from the start or it would destroy components. The voltage should never go above the set point voltage. Make sure you hook it up to power without your load on it to adjust the voltage.

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

These are cheap little Meters. Very finicky. Yours sounds like it is faulty. My suggestion would be to return it for a new one.

This hasn't happened to me, maybe your power or negative source came loose. Check those connections .

My advice is ring Fluke, if not, carry out your own question & see what happens, do what you're asking & the meter might likely go to some setting & never work again. My advice, don't play with things you know nothing about. CG
