New Meter on order

[MrWizard]

wireless power meter

Volts , Amps, KwHr, AmpHr, capacity, SOC, etc...



sender and hall effect coil go at battery

display goes where-ever (as long as in signal range)

No pulling wires between the (2) pieces

going to mount sender at the battery (of course)

going to put display over the fridge where the fuse box and breakers are

the furnace is under the fridge, and no easy way to pull wire inside from the battery in basement or the OEM house mount up front behind the grill

converter is in basement, with my add-on 4D agm

meter should arrive middle next week

$40 on ebay

I went looking after remembering somebody (Mexi?) had posted a link many months back

[LittleBill]

any update on this gary?

[LittleBill]

Gary when do you think you will get your meter hooked up?

[LittleBill]

i hope that is the case. hopefully we will find out shortly

[MrWizard]

i believe it is the same, i think they are ALL 3digit plus(1) decimal place

Decimal place does NOT Float , it was
006.5 amps
Not 6.500 amps
Resolution , is 0.1 amps, aka 100 ma,
No it won't show 0.043 amps
Aka 43 ma or 0.430 amps aka 430 ma , it will display 000.4 amps

right, but you have the 100A hall sensor right?

.4= 400 milliamp. i am looking for the same resolution in the 200a sensor.

did anyone buy the 200 amp shunt? or do you all the 100 amp version, i have tried all over the place but no one will tell me if the 200a shunt will measure milliamps.

Hi Bill,

I have the 200 amp meter, but unless I'm mistaken, the meters in this thread only use a hall sensor, not a shunt.

does it show a decimal place? or does it only read in full amps? im looking to see if it reads milliamps

i mis spoke i meant the hall sensor.

I haven't got mine programmed right yet, but it DOES show a decimal point. Not sure how accurate the reading is though.

when you get it running will you please let me know, i would greatly appreciate it.

meter display right NOW

006.5 amp discharge

(1) decimal point , xxx.1 to xxx.9

yes but don't you have the 100 amp hall sensor?

It would be worth pondering a custom of some manufacturers to use a decimal point. To resolve readings to 0 and .5 the least significant number, therefore, would be resolved to one-half ampere.

I have one more question. My sending unit has the cables on the end that go to the hall sensor, but it also has one long black cable that doesn't seem to be addressed in the bad copy of the instructions that I have. Any idea's on that? Temperature sensor maybe? If so, where does that connect?

If I'm not mistaken, that is an antenna for the wifi connection between the board and the meter. I just wound mine loosely around inside the weatherproof box.

K_and_I , thanks, good to know.

I have a basic hall effect ammeter.

The directions say the sensor is calibrated for the display, and that if one buys multiples of the products to not mix and match sensor and displays.

Perhaps the meter in question is similar and changing sensors is unwise.
