I just got this, but I'm having a devil of a time getting the meter to rotate. Is there a trick that I am missing?

Mine rotates fine. I would use my left thumb and middle finger (easier compared to using my index finger)- cupped into a 'c' like shape, and place them on the meter ring. With my right hand gripping the lower part of the bottle, I would rotate at opposite directions. The meter indicator would 'click' with some mild resistance at every number. That being said, I seldom use the meter function. It's a cool feature to keep track of how many times water is refilled.

The numbered ring projects slightly below the surface of the bottle top that screws down to the bottle. So when you tighten the lid, the number indicator is pretty well immobilized. But when you fill the bottle you unscrew the lid and the ring will move pretty freely and you can change number then. I expect this was designed intentionally this way. Someone else commented along these lines, too.Your bladder and urine color is probably gives more useful information.

Lol , yea I have never been able to move it either ??? Sorry I couldn't help.
1000267
No. Mine doesn't really move either. But since I'm not real sure what it's suppose to do, I just leave it alone. The bottle still works great without it

I found that when I tighten my cap down too tight the ring won't move.. If I loosen and tighten without cranking it down hard the ring will turn... Hope this helps

Rinoa Super-Genius on YouTube tell you all about this particular meter and how to get it to work property, hope that helps..

I am having the same problem...brought it back 3x without success...also temp guage not working properly either

Make sure the spin time is set for more then 5 seconds. I had a similar problem. Check the voltage on your batteries. The meter in the feeder is in lnconsistant. Replace batteries if necessary. Also let the feeder system reset by removing the batteries for a while.

Well first check you input gain but on mine the meter suddenly maxed out then dropped to nothing and hasn't worked since. That was on the first day of use. However, everything else works as it should (if a little noisy, it's not the quietest pre-amp). Since my interface has either all phantom power on or off I use the preamp for using both condenser and dynamic mics together. I don't think pinned in the red is normal.

Try leveling the swash plate. Go on to YouTube for instructions and video. If that does not work then you may have a faulty Gyroscope.

I am back again, this is Loretta. I just read another post that said it was to be used every month or so. I will try to find the directions and get back to you. Just cked the directions. Apparently it is just to make sure it is within the numbers on the bottom of the test strips' box. I never did this. I hope it is. I will try it tomorrow and see if my results have been accurate!!! So I guess it is wise to see if the strips for the meter match up to the meter's parameters. I never really knew about this. So thank you for bringing it to my attention. And the solution does come with the meter. I am back again, this is Loretta. I just read another post that said it was to be used every month or so.

Meter turns on all display segments briefly, then displays FCty. After releasing button, display goes into bright background with a repeating flicker. This is not a mode the manual talks about. Normal? No idea. I couldn't be happier with this meter, though (117)

The meter does not come with calibration solution, this is something you would have to purchase separately. The instructions for calibration are in the manual.

I looked at mines again. (I have 2) This one you turn the purple part to the left till it clicks. Pull the bit out, insert the one you want to use and turn it to the right till it clicks. Sorry for the mixup.

Steve, I just discovered the adjustment pot for zeroing (or at least get it close to spec) the DC clamp current. Turn the meter over, then open and remove the battery cover. On the back you will find two holes to the left of the center chassis screw. The hole closest to that center chassis screw locates the adjustment pot for the DC clamp current mode. Turn the pot clockwise to decrease the value towards negative, counter-clockwise to increase the value towards positive. Use a miniature Phillips #1 (3mm Ø shaft) screwdriver.See the photo I uploaded.

Connect red leads together. Connect black leads together.( the thinner red and black leads are to power the meter itself. Even a 9v battery could be used to make this portable! ). Make sure you use a voltmeter to keep track of the polarities throughout this procedure. ( Might as well let the panel power the meter too). Now connect the double red leads to the + output of the panel and the double black leads to the - of the panel. (The meter should come on and display the voltage at this point). Next connect the blue lead to the - side of the load, ( charge controller). The +side of the load, charge controller should be connected directly to the + of the panel. You also could connect this meter, instead to the output of the charge controller. Live by the code..... Measure twice, cut once!!! You can also use just the voltmeter part or just the ammeter part too. Remember the voltmeter is going in parallel to the panel and the ammeter is going in SERIES to the panel and charge controller. I tried to include a diagram below but it had to be in text format, hope this helped. +......................................................red(both)................................................................................+ Panel METER Load NEG ...........................blk(both)...... ...blu........................................................- Open cable from panel here^

Funny you should ask. I just encountered the same problem when I had to change my batteries for the first time day before yesterday. I ended up using a pair of pliers (it turns really hard) and discovered also that I had been turning the dial the wrong direction (my brain is old, you see...lol), I was turning right instead of left. I thoroughly dusted all the powdery substance the grater had accumulated and it went back together smoothly. Working like a charm again. Good luck!

meter can be set to display just one function. I don't know if it maintains the setting after power is removed. Mine is set to rotate function.

O.k. Thanks! I'll try that tonight. I saw that short knob and I keep messing with it, but nothing is happening. I think I'm not doing it right though so I'll try again and maybe get someone to help me. When I jiggle and pull the knobit, do I pull on the base of the machine at the same time? Just making sure I understand what to do here. Thanks again!

Check your paper work that came with meter. Other than that, I have had no problem with mine. I set it for what I want to check and it works just fine. Your meter and mine are the same.

Make sure the polarity is correct. Also make sure there can be no motion for it to detect. These are sensitive units. Good luck!
