I bought the device and had it installed by a golf cart maintenance store. Cost was 20.00. I am not sure how to make the hook up. I thought best to have it done professionally.

Thats correct.. Are your batteries 6volt batteries? If so because that is what golf carts run off of... And do you have 6 batteries hooked up? Because if you have a 8 then you have a 48 volt cart not 36.

Hello, I bought this converter in combination with a 110V pyrographic tool. After two days use, the tool had a short circuit and also the converter was burned through.I dont know if it was the tool or the converter that has caused the malfunction. That was my experience; I cannot advise you. The only thing I can say is that I would not buy this converter again. Wish you luck with your purchase!!! Hans Melissant

ballast is bypassed, would not work. I'd suggest labels for hot and neutral too.

Michael, did you get the problem solved? I have the same issue and was told to try a Siemens breaker.

I suspect your professional installer did not provide power to the constant hot (usually yellow wire) this wire must have a continuous 12 volts(not switched) look at your manual, take it back!

Like the others indicated, there is a delay when you first apply power to it and it's dark enough for it to switch on. Put a piece of black tape over the photo cell, turn on the light switch, and wait a few minutes. If it doesn't go on, you could remove it and test it with an ohmmeter. With the black tape over the photo cell, the meter should read close to zero. With the tape removed, the meter should show a high resistance.

I had an issue with the switch mechanism. When hooked directly to the battery, life is good. But when their switch is put inline, it doesn't. I replaced the fuse to no avail. I think got out my ohm meter and checked the fuse and the switch. The switch turned out to be bad. I'm now left with either returning the whole thing or just rigging up a toggle switch that I can buy at Home Depot.

I was getting all kinds of funky readings with mine before it fried. It was really the first time that I was checking a house of arc fault. Anyway after it burnt up i talked with tech support they don't have anything. And they told me that you can get many false readings. I won't be replacing it with the same thing

Use a volt ohm meter set to continuity and touch the red probe to one prong and the black probe to the other prong. If the meter reads open or over load it is bad.

Check your paper work that came with meter. Other than that, I have had no problem with mine. I set it for what I want to check and it works just fine. Your meter and mine are the same.

Both sensors are the same part number. You either replaced the wrong sensor, both are bad, or you have an electrical issue.

This hasn't happened to me, maybe your power or negative source came loose. Check those connections .

Maybe you got one that has a broken wire. Return it and ask for a replacement. Mine worked the first time. Still powering my lighter I installed.Sorry I can't be of more help.

I had taken my vehicle back to the installer he stated it was a faulty fuse connector that caused the problem. He upgraded the fuse connectors and I am back in business. He did not charge me anything for this problem. Thanks everyone for your help, it was very much appreciated.

The label must have changed. Mine had +/- Load. I hooked up the +from the P/S to the +, the - from P/S and LED light (load) both connect to the - on the switch. The + from the LED to the Load. My assumption would be Line/Negative/Load. You should contact the seller to be sure. Good luck!

I would go to fuse panel an pull off the lighter fuse if it was me...there should be a pin that in the kit that does this....

You are correct. I have had mine and it did the same thing. Pushing the reset and timer button and the light went out. I cant find my manual. Thank You!
