July 16, 2016 at 6:22 pmPost count: 0I been looking at all the Panel Meters available from DROK to install in my RV and I am totally confused on which one I need. MY rv has two 12 volts batteries wired to output 12 volts. I want a DC Panel Meter to display (1) charge status of my batteries, (2) display the watts I am using at any one time, (3) display the amps I am using. Which one the meters will fit my needs?
Hello William T. Ward,
We are not sure the amp range of your application, so here are some recommendations for you:
20A version (#200139):
DROK® Digital Multimeter DC 6.5-100V 20A Voltage Amperage Power Energy Meter DC Volt Amp Tester Gauge Monitor LCD Digital Display with Blue Backlight Measuring Volts Current with Built-in Shunt
Parameters:
Working Voltage: 6.5 ~ 100VDC
Measuring Range: 6.5 ~ 100VDC
Rated Power: 20A/2000W
Measuring Accuracy: 1.0 gradeTest range and display format:
Power Range: 0~2kW
within 1kW, display 0.0~999.9W;
above 1kW, display 1000~2000W.
Energy Range: 0~9999kWh
within 10KWh, display 0~9999Wh;
above 10kWh, display 10~9999kWh.
Voltage Range: 6.5~100V(display 6.50~99.99V)
Current Range: 0~20A(display 0.00~20.00A)50A version (#200140):
DROK® Small Digital Multimeter DC 6.5-100V 50A Voltage Amperage Power Energy Meter DC Volt Amp Tester Watt Meter Gauge Monitor LCD Digital Display with Blue Backlight with 50A/75mV ShuntParameters:
Working Voltage: 6.5 ~ 100VDC

Before using the 50A current shunt, please set the scale to 50A(default 100A):
Step 1: Long press the button, and release it when “Curr” shows on the power area.
Step 2: At this time the current area displays “100 A”, short press the button to choose “100 A” or “50 A”, this meter requires 50A shunt.
Step 3: Long press the button to exit the setting mode or the setting will automatically save and exist if no key operation in 3 seconds.Test range and display format:

December 18, 2016 at 11:55 pmPost count: 0I am using this meter on a golf cart battery test station. I like the size and readability of the display, I don’t need or use the power or energy feature.
I have hooked up the meter as described in the instruction sheet. The voltage reading is fine but I do not get a current reading. I rechecked the wiring and verified it is per the instruction sheet. I have check all of the internal settings – the voltage setting was 90.0 to 06.0, which I changed to 99.9 to 06.5, with the same result. I checked the current draw with a clamp on ammeter which reads 10 amps, do you have any other suggestions or do I have a defective unit?
Also do you have a similar panel meter (digit height the same) that displays just volts and amps with Voltage Range: 6.5~100V (display 6.50~99.99V) and Current Range: 0~100A (display 0.00~99.99A)?
Thanking you in advance,

Hello Sal Veltri,
Thank you for writing in and sorry for the inconvenience caused on you.
Could you please tell us your order ID or the link of the product to let us ensure the product you have bought?
We are not very clear the meaning of that “the voltage setting was 90.0 to 06.0, which I changed to 99.9 to 06.5”
Hoe much the input voltage?
If you can, we sincerely hope that you can send us some images or video to let us check the problem details.
You can send this information to us via email (service at droking dot com).
With your help, we can find a solution more quickly.
Best regards -
