how do I know they didn't send me a volt meter instead of the ordered amp meter. the color of the wires don't match up to this drawing.

The red/black wires are still right? I connected mine to a 9 volt connector. the remaining wires was trial and error for me. If they didn't work one way, I just reversed them.

I bought one of these from someplace on Amazon. It does show volt level and it I believe it did show amps coming in from the panel.HOWever, I am sorry to report that this item quit all by itself in about a month. I called Amazon and they arranged for me to send it back and they refunded my credit card. I am now using a cheaper charge controller that at least works but no display other than lights.I really liked this item, but I need it to work properly and for a really long time.

Negative, yet there is an input receptacle with NO SPECS as to polarity and voltage needed, as well a missing current spec needed when multiple items are connected. Closer inspection of item shows no specs ON the item either, but it appears that an area below the receptacle has been sanded off, as if the specs were removed, as was the model info. Weird.. Inspection was done with lighted magnifier I used at NASA to inspect pins. sort of like owning a 7-stall barn that will only hold 4 horses at best ;-)

On mine, there were two solid colored wires (blue & brown?), and one (yellow) with a stripe. When I opened the back of the light, I found that the striped wire just ended and was not connected to anything. My guess is that they found 3-lead wire cheaper than 2 or 4-lead so that's what we get. The other two solid wires seem to work interchangeably as + or -, so they apparently added circuitry to make them idiot-proof.Short Answer:Striped wire: Not usedOther two: Connect to 12V DC

Not that I recall. But its very simple, I even this the wire ends are color coded (see the red and black terminal in picture of battery?). Worse case, take a picture of it with a smart phone before you take out old battery and refer to that as you hook up new battery.

The meter has the sensor built into its back panel and it has a hole that the ac wire is placed thru to measure the amperage. You also need to supply 120 VAC to it to power the display.

yellow,white and red are the colors. the third wire is for "dual tone and the other is for yelp" I have one in box that would not work with my system due to the "current draw of 200mA@12VDC. my system was 6VDC

I purchased this item. They had the wrong item number associated with this item and I was sent an electrical breaker. BE CAREFUL ordering this item.

I'm sorry. but I havent checked that yet. just don't have that accurate volt meter or bridge, sorry George

the wire with the dean connector that is included is color coded red/black for the polarity. output is the load dean socket. source is the input dean socket. it's clearly labeled in the watt meter case where you plug in the dean connector.

I'm not sure. I based my purchase on voltage listed matching and the plug looked the same.?

I ordered both, they screwed up and sent 2 of the 1.2 volt. Sorry, can't help.

Sorry, I don't seem to have the same wire colors coming out of this fixture. I wired it (as seen in the first chart on http://www.allaboutcircuits.com/vol_5/chpt_2/2.html) as blue = neutral (white), light brown = hot (black), green/yellow striped = ground, and it works for me.

Should have a small data info sheet in the bottom of the box it comes in. The connector that has two wires(I used a nine volt battery with a switch), red & black are for display power. The other wires are for voltage sense & amperage (milli-volt) from shunt. Yes, a shunt is required. This is a good meter, just not enough information to support it's installation & calibration. Two adjustments (apex) on the P.C. board are for the calibration of the volt meter & amperage read-outs.

I received a few extra wires with my purchase. Did you not receive extras with yours? I would contact the seller, directly, and inquire with them about some extra wires.

The blue wire is the hot and the black wire is the ground. Not sure which one of yours is hot and which one is ground. You can test them to see.

It's defective, they could match. The leads are most likely in the wrong order. Idk if the can be switched or if they are soldered to control board. Not near mine to check.
