Re: KR> G Meter I fitted a GT-50 G meter into my KR yesterday from A/Spruce. Has anyone used one?, the instructions say to protect the wiring with a fuse or c/breaker, but they do not say what size fuse to place in wire 3 & 4.
Is the current draw noted in the manual?Try the trouble shooting section if it has one.If not connect the meter to a 12 battery you are planning to use.Make sure it is charged to at least 11.5 volts.Measure the ampreage being pulled by the meter.Remember to use a shunt for safety.I would use a circuit breaker above the ampreage taken.If it measures 3 amps,use a 5 amp.The reason for adding a little to the amps is incase you loose your alternator/generator.As voltage drops(as the battery discharges)the meter will draw more ampreage.DO NOT GO MUCH HIGHER THAN A COUPLE OF AMPS,5 MAX.This could become a fire and safety hazard.A dead short or when a wire grounds against something metalic the circuit breaker will trip.Hope this helps.
