I want to record peak watts consumed, say within a second or less. Trying to get an idea for sizing a generator. Does this record that?

Shows instant use. Does not show high and low peak but current use instantly

I don't think you can do that. Watching the screen in operation it seems to display an RMS value updated at about 1 second intervals. If you watch immediately upon applying a load the first displayed number may (or may not) be close to the peak starting load. I'm not sure if the device also stores history data - I've never required such a feature.

please note i'am not sure why this iteam isn't on my records-but it should.and it hasbeen great using it with the other one model#ytx9-bs powersportsattery.both are great in using the power inverters 800-watts/1200-watts.note too i have a power station that has solar ,ac/dc,usb,jumpercables andtirer inflator.with a power inverter. and when another sandy come we and wife are ready.thankyou amazon

No the cadence/speed sensor does not provide power (watt) data. You will need an ant+ compatible power meter.

I have two GT680W's. Unit is configured to turn on when energized. You can either plug it in every time or tie it into a circuit that energizes with the ignition. You can also set to record with motion, but must be always powered for this mode and I recall this mode is configured for 5 fps. Because I prefer set and forget, I connected the provided plug to a loose 12 volt socket, secured with a few wraps of electric tape, wired the socket to ground and a Pico 0956PT 10 Amp ATM Mini Blade Fuse Add-A-Circuit Fuse Holder, piggy backed on the seat heater circuit and buried the wires behind finishes. This powers and protects the GT680W as intended by E-Prance. Mine is running for almost a year without attention. Please note one with GPS module is offered and if that is desired, due to firmware nuances, I suggest buying them together.

its a 600w alternated generator... it will never reach 600wats... probably closer to 450w... though you are right there isnt any data supporting this... just do some research about ac to dc conversion...

It does not record voltage readings, nor does it give notification or have an audible alarm. I use a surge protector at the campground electric box that will shut off the electric if a surge or low voltage occurs. The one I have was $350.00. This is just a nice instant view that you can see what' going on from inside the camper. Well worth it for the price.

It gives a running digital reading of amperage AC current, not DC. It has no capture capability for highest amperage event, your eyeballs have to do that. It does give quick readings however on a continuous basis if amps are selected, or watts, or volts or cycles per second or kwh.

Does this unit measure watt usage. I'm on solar and want to see ceiling fan usage independently as will as everything on at one time. Not concerned about total KWH and cost. Too, do I see where the unit clips on inline feed and then there is a remote that I can carry around without a computer. If so, this is what I'm looking for.

No, I think the questioner does mean watts. In applications where using a generator, such as a 2000w generator it is important to know the startup amps/watts so as not to overload the generator capacity. So I would repeat, does anyone know the startup watt draw? Start up amp draw would help as well.

3 amps is about 300 watts. If the rating on your recorder is less than that you should be OK. If your unit has tubes the gradual warmup is a good idea. If it is solid state your wasting your time. Make sure the voltage stays below 120 VAC. 110 to 115 should do it. Continued good luck to you.

mine is an older model, it has an hour meter. To my knowledge there is NO idle control on any of them. Why would you want to idle a generator. Let it run and do its thing the way it was designed to do. You'll hear it "dig in"and run harder when under a heavy load. I am well pleased with mine and would purchase another one in a heart beat.

I don't know what you want this gauge to do. IT measure amps volts, wattage. load, and Cycle. It doesn't know how many AH Capacity your batter is. Hope this helps RC

Doing a quick conversion, but realizing the two (watts and BTU's) measure in different time-forms, ONE 8000 BTU AC unit consumes 2344 Watts. TWO of those units (running at the same time,) puts you at 4689 watts, which is well beyond this unit's capability. Research the WATTAGE or AMPS consumed by each AC unit and you'll get a closer comparison, (those figures should be marked on the AC unit somewhere,) but I still think running the two at the same time will not work with this generator. Running this unit at full load, (3500 watts continuous) might get you 8-9 hours, but I've not seen any figures to support this. Most figures are given at 1/2 load. You may need to look at a larger generator unit if the AC's are the primary consumer....

It depends on how much power you are pulling from the generator. If you utilize maximum watts you will empty the gas tank faster than if you only have several small appliances hooked-up.

No, it does not. When the power does out, it turns off. When it comes back on, it goes to the setup you programed. If the power is out for a long time (not sure how long) it will reset the time and not record unless you have it programed to record always.

Sorry for the late reply:I think the wattage is calculated using an algorithm (speed, incline, etc.). I have never used a power meter before so I am afraid I cannot comment on how accurate it is.

Not that I know of. Getting clear output data from Powerland was difficult. I do know for sure that the "quality" of electric produced by this generator is poor and fairly unstable. Most would call it "dirty." Whether it would be suitable to a situation with an inverter motor, I don't know. I do know that it is not suitable for sensitive (and even many "regular") electronic devices/appliances because of its variability and spikes.
