Last night I finally got around to fiddlin' with the tri-digital meter that Champion is now offering on some of it's models. I have also been told that the meter will soon be available in kit form for retrofit on older models. I have no details on pricing.
I hooked the one I had received up to domestic power. The opening in my genset for the older electro-mechanical running time meter was larger than the new tri-digital, so I elected not to try and mount it on the genny. I have a small control pannel that will go inside the camper to start the genny and transfer power between the inverter and the genny. I have room to mount the meter on the inside pannel - I think it will be a neat accessory.
The meter only needs a connection to the 120 volt power source. There are two wires that connect to a push button. Each time you push the button, the meter cycles to a different function. This meter will obviously work on any brand of generator producing 120 volts. It is a really handy tool for adjusting the engine speed for the desired frequency.
