Digital 100 Amp - Panel Meter
|
| |
|
| This is the meter I use in my GEO Tracker. Red
LED's are the easiest to see during the day. The meter uses a pressure fit;
pressure tabs on the ends. I think digital meters are easier to read and
they are more precise.
This meter is easy to install, but requires some special hookup. It must
be powered by a 5 volt DC source; it is an instrument panel meter. It can
not be powered - directly - by your vehicles 12vdc battery system. I have
included a 12vdc to 5vdc regulator below. Connect it to your 12vdc system.
If you do not want to use the regulator, the meter can be powered by a 9v
alkaline battery connected to a toggle switch. |

Wiring:
- Wire your 5vdc to the 5V+ and 5V- wires
- Wire the Input wires, + and - to the small screw terminals on the 75mv
Shunt.
- If you want to turn this meter on and off, install a toggle switch on
the +5V wire.
- If you get the 5V wires backwards it will burn up the meter.

12vdc to 5vdc 7805 Regulator
This is 5V power regulator designed by using a famous voltage regulator
IC 7805. Output is very stable and smooth. Fluctuation, noise, spike all
eliminated. The input can take a range from 7v to 36v dc.
It's an ideal candidate for being used for our Digital Panel Meter or other
device driven by 5V DC at low current. It can power more than one meter.
