I would like to monitor the incoming voltage. what size monitor do I need in V to do so? I have 2 of these panels in series. thx

For this application, you have two options: 1. An MT-5 Tracer meter works with this MPPT charge controller. It would connect directly to the controller and monitor the solar array. 2. On our store website, we offer a high precision watt meter that connects in line between either the solar panels and charge controller or charge controller and battery.

Just purchase the remote monitor that is made to work with the controller. It will give you all the info you will need.

The maximum voltage that these panels, in series, can get up to is roughly around 45 volts. So any voltage meter/monitor that you get should be able sustain at least that much voltage.Thank you,AW

So on the back there's a sticker that says 100-240v... but I don't see a switch anywhere or anything like that. Dunno if that helps. I can tell you this monitor is awesome though. : D

Hello! My numbers are the same for output voltage. It reads: 5.0 V = 2.0 A. It's a great product!

We will set the voltage for you.Please leave me a message for the voltage you want after you place the order.

The 2 wires are for the monitor voltage and also power the unit. I only tried it at 12V but my guess is their voltage regulator can take the full range of voltage and convert to 5V or 3.3V

The one I ordered came with a VGA cable, but then again it was the wrong model monitor. I'd try to find one just in case; it never hurts to have a spare!

Power is 12 v only i instale we 12 Gage warer god cualiti picture ,watts is depend we're you conecte to I conecte my to my 7 " pioneer touch screen redio only 1 yellow ware for video the audio came from my 7,000 wats system Is in my EXCURCION my wats came from there. (were you wats camen from ) thes is a tv monitor we god cualiti pitchur in my EXCURCION is the besssss;) hope thes help

there is no "output" voltage, it is just a switch that can be wired(series) into your system (alarm or monitor).

You will need a 12VDC power supply, the one I am using is rated at 300mA. This one should work fine: B006GEPUYA. You will have to cut the end off of the power supply and connect it to the two power wires on the monitor.

I believe you will need two panels connected in a series for a 24 V system. My panel puts out 18.99 volts max, not enough for a 24 volt battery. hope this helps.

I'm sorry Tony but I can't tell you for sure. But a little advice from my own research. Try searching with plain terms. Model and serial numbers will bring up too many options. Try using the manufacturer's name. My monitor is "SynchMaster 300". Also, it is very important that the adapter/transformer produces the correct output of voltage, amperage, and watts! I hope that my response has helped in you some way, shape, or form! Good Luck!

I can't find information on that anywhere on the monitor or instructions manual. So my guess would be that it's only 110V. The customer service number is 1-800-268-6237 if you'd like to call and confirm.

If the panel puts out 24volts d.c. then you need a 24 volt charge controller. Many of these controllers can detect the input voltage (12 or 24 volts) and can automatically adjust to work with either.

This is a fine little monitor. It will work on 9 volts (best), but not on 6 volts. It will probably work from a 12 volt adapter - but the higher voltage may shorten its useful life. (If finding a 9 volt switching adapter is a problem, you can buy them from Amazon and/or EBay - they're very inexpensive.)

Hi, Yes, you can use the meter power it and monitor it when connected to the same source. You can also have it be powered by another unit to measure something else. The input voltage ranges from 4.5 to 30 volts. Just make sure to not wire the unit backwards as there is no reverse voltage protection. Note that the brown (or black in some models) wire is the main (common) negative wire and the red wire is the positive power wire. The other color yellow (or white in some models) is the positive voltage measuring wire. For example, you would power the volt meter by connecting it to the brown wire to the negative terminal of the voltage supply and the red to the positive terminal of the voltage supply. You then would connect the yellow white to the positive terminal of whatever you are measuring to it and the brown wire to the negative part (you'll need to solder another to it to make a "Y" connection lead). Last remark, the little screw on the back of the unit allows you to calibrate the unit, you might want to compare and make changes to the unit with another volt meter you already know that is accurate as mine was off by 0.2 volts. I hope this helps!

lets say you have 6 - 100watt panels (20 volts and 5 amps). if you connect 3 sets of 2 panels in series then connect the sets in parallel - you would have 40 volts and 30 amps. Depending on your efficency of your panel you could exceed the specs some of the time. If a working controller really matters to you then you might not want to find out what happens when exceeding specs. But using a combination of series and parallel you could stay within specs. Just remember that a series connection will degrade to the lowest panel. You may want to have the Remote Meter LCD Display (MT5) for Solar Regulator with 2 Meters Cable to monitor your system.

Try moving the hot lead that you hooked up in your panel so it is on the same bus as your office (I think you were trying to say you tried that in your question). My unit CT's are hooked up on the main buss at the panel so I am reading total house wattage.I don't know what your knowledge is so don't get upset and call me a moron. I assume you were trying to measure the heater alone at the panel. just put a current transformer on each leg from the breaker that feeds the heater. The display has to be plugged into the same feed bus as the hot lead (115v) you hooked in the panel.
