    MEP 003 frequency meter

    I believe I'll stick with my $20 Hardy meter. I could buy 125 of them for the cost of one of the OEM ones. Surely I can come up with a way to waterproof it to save $2,480.

    MEP 003 frequency meter

    Yea I was a little disappointed in how the meter didn't seem very weather resistant. What do you expect for $19 though. I like how yours is out of the weather but I'd kind of like mine a little more assessable.

    MEP 003 frequency meter

    I gave up on the OEM Hz meter and ordered one of the meters from Hardy Diesel. Took it out of the box today and found out it won't fit in the factory Hz meter hole, almost but not hardly. Looks like I'm going to have to file out the hole a little, I don't think it will be so much that I can't...

    MEP 003 frequency meter

    Yes, I understand that but if you just hook up to any 120v source you couldn't read your voltage settings on 240v single phase or 3 phase, unless I'm missing something. It seems to me of you just hooked up to a 120v source all it would ever read is 120v max and wouldn't show when you adjusted...

    MEP 003 frequency meter

    I checked out that gauge. At first I had trouble finding it, typed in "hardy diesel" in the search box and all I got was Ed Hardy jeans. Then I searched as a username and found it. It looks good but I wonder how to wire it. I'd assume you could just pick up the 120v line going to the transducer...

    MEP 003 frequency meter

    Thanks for all the suggestions. I was running the engine wide open, or at least as far as the cable will come out. I just need to put my multimeter on there and check the frequency so I can make sure I'm turning 1800.

    MEP 003 frequency meter

    How can you tell if it's the gauge or the transducer or both? I can't find anything in the TMs that tell what the wires going to the gauge coming from the transducer are supposed to read. I know there is 120v going into the transducer but can't find what the output is.

    MEP 003 frequency meter

    I've got a multimeter that will read frequency but don't want to have to have it around every time I fire up the genset. I've looked at the kill-a-watt and may just go that route. I'm assuming you just plug it into the convenience outlet? I'm pretty well versed in household electricity and...

    MEP 003 frequency meter

    I picked up a MEP 003 last week. The unit fired right up but the frequency meter doesn't move. I have power coming out of the set so I'm thinking either my gauge or transducer is giving problems. I've searched and read threads that says a replacement is fairly expensive. What I'm trying to...
