How does the Voltmeter hook up?
1192677
All you need to do is to attach a 12 gauge (red) wire from the gauge to your ignition switch or any other power source. Use the terminal on the ignition that is not activated during starting but is live at other times. The other terminal on the gauge goes to ground (black wire to your metal dashboard support). You can put a fuse in line near the ignition switch. There should have been instructions with the gauge - I bet there are explanations on-line... just Goggle Voltmeter hook up. Cheers

The voltmeter has 2 terminals on the back, one marked + and the other -. The - or negative terminal should be wired to any good clean ground on the vehicle, such as under a screw that goes into metal. The + or positive goes to any wire or connection you can find that is only live when the key is in the accessory or ignition position. You can probe around for that with a test light, or you may know already that an item, like the cigarette/power outlet on you car, is only powered with key-on. The wires do NOT have to be 12AWG. In fact, the voltmeter (unlike an ammeter) takes so little current you can use very small flexible wires, but for mechanical strength, use something of 22 AWG or bigger.

Connect the Positive to the first battery in the string and the negative to the last battery, I have six 8 volt batteries, some have four 12 Volt but the process is the same, this unit will tell you by the lights when it is correct in any event.

You should be able to tell exactly what is going on with your voltmeter, either measuring voltage or resistance. Evidently you tried that, so it is not obvious what is wrong. I assume that you have applied a voltage properly to the unit. I doubt that the unit is at fault.

Put a good multimeter on the out put leads and spin it. you will read DC volts with NO ac COMPONENT. ww

Yes, that will work. The meter reading will indicate the value of the power source voltage. Instant battery voltmeter if that's what you want.

None at all. Right now I have one hooked up in the camper to turn my volt meter on and off. The volt meter measures the 14v battery connection which is direct current.

You connect the panel to the batteries via the the charge controller. It will come with simple to read instructions.

Yes, you need to use a volt meter to find the positive and negative side of the battery.

Depends on where you are planning to wire it in. I would suggest you watch tutorials videos and buy a voltmeter. Everything else, you can do it!

I don't know your particular setup but you need to separate voltages, one to power your volt/amp meter and the one your wanting to monitor. The you monitor you need to setup with your shunt, you have to use a shunt for it to work. If you don't set up a shunt amp meter will show nothing. I hope this helps.

I am not familiar with your volts, etc. I would think that you could use an adapter for the plug in. Sorry I wasn't much help.

I am not sure what you are really asking, but I believe that once the system hits the defined voltage level (and the green light comes on) all this is doing is sensing that voltage level. Once the voltage creeps down it kicks back in to charge (Yellow light comes on) with 3-A of current, then goes to Green when the voltage level is back to the proper setting.

The white and yellow hook on the small screws on the shunt. The black wire is negative battery or a ground. The red and green are both hooked to battery positive. When pushing the small switch on the front, the readout switches from amperage to voltage and vise versa.

I assume you know that the little red and black wires are plus 12vdc and minus. I strap the red large wire to red small wire and hook that to the plus 12vdc. The two black large and small go to the minus..Now the yellow is left and it hooks to one wire to the load and the other wire from the load to the plus 12vdc. A little knowledge goes a long way here. Volts are measured across the plus and minus and the amps are in series with one of the leads from the load.

I did not hook it up to a scope, but according to my volt meter it starts at the output I set it to and holds it very well even when the input changes.

It is connected to an electric plug. I'm not sure about the voltage. My advice would be to not buy this product though. I bought one and it stopped working three weeks later, so I exchanged it for a new one and that one stopped working two weeks later. My opinion, from my experience is that it's junk and not worth the money or the hassles.

You could use an ordinary piece of insulated wire that would be small enough to fit into the connector and attach the ends to your voltmeter. Rig the wire attachment on a popsicle stick to keep them in place. Use a hot glue gun or some other glue for this.
