ammeter frequency and voltage gauges

[Crawdaddy]

Can the volt gauges be set up to monitor the 2 legs as separate 120v circuits, or do they have to measure across both legs for 250v? Ideally, I would want to see the 120 volts on each leg and the amps running through that leg.

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 voltage directly on the output lug. the gauge will come with the pickup coil with long wires in a small expandable sleeve harness. i will add a wire to that for the voltage pickup as well. you pull the wire off the bottom of the lug anyway for the coil so while your there just attach the other wire and your good to go. when i put these up for sale you wont be buying just a gauge. this will be a kit and will come with connectors, tywraps, harnesses and everything you will need for the convert.

When you are dont can you let us know the stats of the meters? How accurate its max and mins and so on. Also posting the install directions so we can see how involved it is?

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 20min. drill 1 hole, fish a wire, hook up the ends and your done. besides drilling a 7/16" hole you only need a set of wire crimpers and a flat tip screwdriver.
