    RE: LCD, AC100.0A AC80.0-300V Installation experience…
    Nice Meter! I like the display Color, and the Read Out. Prior to installation, I did a hook up to power, to determine orientation (UP and Down). Cut the panel and mounted the two meters to read two legs of a 230 VAC Circuit. After installing the Pickup Coils on the Power legs, I did a temporary hook up to see if they would read current. Both meters displayed a current read out and followed the addition of circuit loads with increased current indications. EXCELLENT!!! After the permanent installation of the wiring, finishing soldering and shrink wrapping all the connections, I powered up the system, and was dismayed (AKA Highly Pissed!), to find one meter displaying properly and one meter FROZEN on “1.0 A”! After opening all the load circuit breakers and powering the meters with an alternate 115AC power, the “frozen” meter still displayed “1.0 A” and the other meter displayed “0.0 A”. I am sure that the “frozen” meter has FAILED!!! Less than 3 min. of operation and FALIURE of 50% of the installed instrumentation! Not a good Failure rate. I can only hope that a replacement will be dispatched, and a shipping confirmation will follow in a Very timely manner, (2-3 Days!).

    Yes. The link you put in the last message is what we purchased through Amazon.com.

    Both meters power on fine. Both voltage displays are fine. One displays the amps correctly. The other displays “1.0 A” and does not change.

    The coil is installed correctly.

    If you really want a picture, please tell me what email to send it to.

    The Amazon order number is 102-0701947-7060225.

    Thank you!

    Hi,
    I bought (and they arrived on nov 25th) from Amazon these two devices:
    (see order no 202-9542059-0912358)
    – DEOK Digital Voltmeter/Ammeter Red/Yellow LED Dual Display Meter DC 100V 10A
    – DEOK 220/240V 80V-300V/100A Digital AC Current Meter LED Dual Display (D85)
    Please send me for both of them, the wiring scheme and what schunt should I buy and use.
    These products must be accompanied by some documentation.
    Regards,
    Catalin Saru

    Hi Catalin Saru,
    We are sorry that we don’t have paper instruction for those DIY product, and all the information are on the website.
    Here is the wiring diagram for DC 100V 10A meter, and you don’t need to connect the shunt for 10A meter.
    100155_wiring

    For the 80V-300V/100A version, the package has include the transformer, below is the diagram.

    If there’s anything I can help with, don’t hesitate to tell me.
    Best regards,

    Just received a D85-3051. Will be using with a system producing variable voltage up to 19v and variable current up to 8a. Does this need a shunt?? Included instruction sheet is hard to follow. But I think it says I don’t need a shunt if current is below 10a. Just want to make sure before I hook this thing up and fry it. 🙂

    I am building a 12v 10a power supply with a separate buck converter to have variable voltage and current. So I need this meter to tell me what those variables are when working with electronics and set them accordingly. First time building one and using this meter.

    As mentioned, a D85-3051 .. purchased through eBay so I don’t have an invoice number. Just the model number from the included instruction sheet in the box. I’m going to say no I don’t need one. Paper says “If current is higher than 10a, you should order the special shunt, as measure between 0~50a, you need a shunt with 75m V”. Shouldn’t that say, you need the shunt if measurements will be 10-50a?? Since it says you don’t need one if current is below 10a?? I’m confused.
