    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    from the manufacturer that makes the electronics for the gauges rates frequency accuracy to .1hz and the volt and current meter at .5%. far more accurate than originals. i will post the instructions as a downloadable pdf. frequency meter install can be done in 5-10min. the volt/amp meter maybe...

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    you can wire it however you want. in the picture i have them hooked to the wires from the original voltmeter. what i will do here eventually is run a wire down along with the current pickup coil and you can attach it directly to the underside of the lug/splitbolt. this will monitor the actual...

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    ok guys i ran her today. gauges are super and work perfectly. here are a couple pictures. ill work on the instructions tonight and tomorrow then they will be ready to go. i have my ammeters hooked up to monitor L1 and L3 which is what most of us would use on a 1ph 240v setup for our houses. if...

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    ike glad you mentioned that. that does ring a bell and i forgot all about it. for the hz meter that was one of my options but would end up with 2 connections. one at the gauge and the one up by the transducer. i decided to just make the wires on the gauge long enough to just run up to the ac...

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    well easy but not quite that easy. you have to remember the original hz meter uses an external transducer mounted on the back wall of the control cabinet. the new gauge is all built in. you need to bring those AC wires from the back wall of the cabinet over to the new gauge. thats it really...

    thanks! i've really put alot of time into these to make them right. they have gone through change after change to keep improving on the design.

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    ok well i got the install done and wired up for the most part. its too late for me to fire it up tonight. ill go ahead and hopefully do that tomorrow. ill get some pics with it running. ill go ahead and start writing the instructions up tomorrow evening. these are really not hard to hook up and...

    sure thing. all the plastic components are 3d printed

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    yeah i was borderline with those gov ends i had. it started getting bad and i knew the mods would only look the other way for so long. i will put them up there soon. i just gotta find the time one of these evenings to get the gen in the shop to do the install. in the meantime i did make a change...

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    Yeah actually they have been done and ready for a week now. I can take orders on them but i havent formally put them up for sale because i wanted to install a set in my 003 and make an instruction sheet for them. I have just been busy. If you can do without instructions then i can ship right...

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    Abs should last years and years outside. The only piece exposed to the weather and UV is the bezel. You should see no cracking. To give you an idea, the septic vent pipe on your house going out the roof is usually abs. That has to handle all the weather and the baking sun and heat all year long...

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    Thats probably a standard 2" gauge. Im sure the gauge would work no problem but the hole would need to be opened up a bit providing there is room of course. If its something you wanted to do i could even provide a self adhesive template.
  15. Jimc

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    Thanks for that info. I guess only thing you could do is providing there is room is to open the hole up to 2.75".

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    yes there is a voltmeter/ammeter available. one gauge will read both. as for size and fitment i really cant say since i dont have a 16d here to try it on. these will fit a standard 2 3/4" hole. OD of the bezel is 3.5". just take some quick measurements of yours and you will know. there is alot...

    i havent totaled everything up but should be within a few dollars of estimated.

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    update, i have these almost ready to go. the electronics are in route and i have everything else here. i made some little changes and decided make them a little nicer. i designed and had faces printed up and changed the enclosure to pretty much fully enclose the electronics to make these way...

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    i hear thatt. i have a couple myself that are a little bouncy. i dont know if i mentioned it but the frequency meters dont need a transducer or anything like that. you can just hook it to power and its good to go. seems the frequency meter is the one most people have trouble with.

    ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

    well what i was thinking is with the combo meter you can have more options with. you can simply use it to replace one meter or both. so for guys that feel like m16 then the same gauge will read amps and volts. just put the gauge in the location you want. for people that would like to monitor...
