I'm grounding my bed. Does anyone know how to check if works with this meter?

I am not certain what you mean by grounding your bed? What it the grounding point? Is it a copper ground rod driven to an appropriate depth. Or are you grounding to some other ground plane. But checking continuity of the ground wire to the grounding point is about all you can do with that meter.

The only time I got an alarm is when I had the leads inserted into the wrong hole. Double-check that the probe wires are correct: if you are trying to measure resistance, make sure that you don't have one plugged into the current port, or something like that.

Please make sure you have the clamp ends closed and check to make sure you have the right two legs of the 220. actually you shoud be able to read whatever device is consuming electric from those feeds

Hi Kelly:I own that treadmill and have not had that experience, but, I can offer a few suggestions. 1)Unplug the device, wait one minute, and plug it back in.If that does not work-try another wall plug to see if there is a voltage problem. You may also call at 801-973-9993. Good luck

Mine works fine, but I had also purchased the one that the ac adaptor plugs directly into the device, and the AC adaptor was bad. If you have a multi-tester, make sure the ac adaptor is working.

You should be able to tell exactly what is going on with your voltmeter, either measuring voltage or resistance. Evidently you tried that, so it is not obvious what is wrong. I assume that you have applied a voltage properly to the unit. I doubt that the unit is at fault.

It is not connected to anything on the board. While in use I get nothing on my meter.

Yes, I had the same problem. The two smaller wires are the supply voltage for the meter itself. Red is positive, black is negative. I used 5 Volts DC to power mine. The bigger wires are red, blue and black. Red is the voltage sense, blue and black are for the current sense. Black should be connected directly to ground. The blue then becomes the ground for whatever device you are sensing the current on. So, the ground side of the load goes into the blue wire (then through a shunt resistor) and then out of the black wire to ground. Hope this helps! :)

Check your power and ground. Also check to see if your line is cut. If you made your line longer check your connections

my understanding is that the source side must be the most positive than the load side.also the measured current is only on the negative side (black wires).even with zero current the meter will still read zero provided you have at least 4v between the red and black load lines

I don't use this meter for ac work. I checked the meter and the info I got with the meter ( which is not much). But it will not do what you want . sorry not much help. Bill

Yes I suggest you try a side by side test to make sure. You can contact their website with questions. I believe they make a meter also.

I believe I ran it back to the neg side of the battery since the system does not use the chassis for a ground.Just touch it and see if whatever you are hooking up works .

To be honest this meter never works right. It always gives me crazy readings. I've never bee able to trust it. I would return it if I could. WWW.hiselconstruction.com

The outlet checker that came with the kit will ensure that the outlet was properly grounded. The plug on the cord can only go into the ground connection. I also used a voltmeter, which I purchased separately, to show that my body voltage went to zero when my orange band was correctly plugged into the wall socket. So if you use the outlet checker and plug the cord into the bottom large hole in the wall outlet, there should be no concern.

I have not run into this problem. So far mine has worked as expected. The only thing I can think of is perhaps you might have not connected properly. Ensure that you associate ground with ground. If ground is connected correctly, the device should read the correct number of cells and eliminate those that not being used. Hope this helps.

My works fine but I just had to replace my ground fault outlet.Not sure if it blew from the tank heater,fence charger on age.Check the outlet.If not that perhaps you received defective ones
