I bought 2 of these -The ameter reading is off -there are trimmer adjustments on the back -one for voltage one for ampereage? Any info available?

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.

Yes, the screws are adjustments. Mine would not work properly using any of the 3 wiring diagrams. I could take a picture of a hand drawn diagram that I used to hook it up and send it to you if you like. Without any adjustments, I got within 2% accurate. Send me your email address if you want to try that. Good luck!

Yes the trimmer adjustments at the back can allow you to adjust the volt and current. The current adjust is the trimmer directly under the 4 pin. Use a certified Volt/ Ohms meter to adjust within 10%, which is the norm for a meter.

I use device to monitor output voltage and consumption on a 12 v battery. I connected it as shown in photo "Wiring Diagram 3" in product announcement photos. Shunt must be in series w/negative side of the load; the 2 other cables to the + & -terminals of the same battery. No adjustment necessary.

I don't have one, sorry. Look in your manual, all you have to do is match the voltage and amps. I don't have my original one either.

I have not had a problem with my trimmer and I wonder if there is just something NOT RIGHT with the trimmer you got. You might return it with the reason and have them replace it if they will???????? I hate it when things don't work right!

This is suspect. I would check your volt meter....put a load on the relay and measure it again...its a standard relay and there should be no voltage present. I have encountered mystery power from leads before...but I think its just erronious readings from the meter....are you using a good quality meter? Fluke? Klein? Can you hook a miniature light bulb or LED up to the relay leads and see if there is enough power to activate the bulb? Also how much voltage are you using to power the beam sensor? I used a 12 volt dc power supply with great results. One last thing. Connect your switching device and measure the voltage again. My bet is its gone.... This is suspect.

My system shut off after a couple months of being installed as well (240v). I removed canister and electrodes appeared to have a lot of buildup, so I made a little brass brush on a handle that I could get inside and clean the elements. after doing this several times and rinsing (water came out rust colour), I replaced and it is working fine. Will wait and see how long this one lasts. I clamped it and was only pulling about 2-3 amps initially, but after a couple days it is now up to 10-11 amps per leg.

I have the same problem. I can tell you this, the wheel barrow draws a lot of power. I melted a charger (melted like a black plastic puddle) that was the right voltage, but not enough amps. I would hook one up and see if the charger is getting hot.

I had the same problem too but it turn out that one of the wire crimp was not connecting correctly. I would check all the 12v wire make sure it have a good connection. If you still have problem, give flex a lite a call and they will take care of you. thanks

Mine has been rock solid at 110v. My source voltage varies between 121v and 128v so correction is always on. Sounds like you may suffer from a low voltage source, which if you're set at 110v the device would not compensate for since that variation is below it's threshold. Have you tried setting to 120v and seen if it brings that voltage up to a stable value? too much load could also be an issue....

The way to check it with a meter, is for continuity, not voltage. Put your meter on OHMS and check between the battery neg post and where the cable attached. You will see it reads "Open" when the knob is turned clockwise to loosen it. When tightened the connection is completed and you will have continuity "0". Proven that no electricity will flow with the knob loosened.

What rod are you running? Your amps may be too low and check your polarity. Your work lead should be on positive side. I have this machine and it runs perfectly.

The voltage is not specified in the operator instructions. The 2.1 indicators apparently refer to amperage, according to the information I discovered.

I am also unable to adjust amperage. I notice that amperage changes with voltage but I cannot adjust current(amps) alone. When I turn the adjustment screw on the right nothing happenes....If u can figure it out please let me know. Thanks -Mike

Yep, I've had an electric hedge trimmer for over 20 years. I agree with Kajunman...check to see if the vents are blocked with crud, and use a brush to clean them out. If it doesn't work anymore, my guess would be your motor burned out or there's a loose wire...

with me with a input of 120 it would change from 110 to 120 and then back to 110 ,I needed a study out put of 110 for vacuum tbe HIF equipment, that is why it was returned. I now use a variac.

They're different voltages. Use the one it came with. Hopefully you didn't fry it by using the wrong voltage!

Who knows how accurate these cheap gauges are... Checked mine with my analog meter: slightly more than 12 volts at the battery - perhaps 12.1 or 12.2. 12 volts at the terminals on the back of the gauge while the gauge read a hair more than 12. Yours might be different of course.

My guess would be it's either defective or you have too much load on it. I believe it is rated for 18amps (6amps x 3 channels).
