AC Kilowatt-Hour Meter
Measure inverter power delivered to a load, or figure out how much power an intermittent AC load is using with this meter. If you are selling power back to the utility grid, you can keep track of how much they owe you. These meters have been removed from service and reconditioned. Order a raintight meter base to mount and connect wires to the meter. For use on 120 or 120/240 VAC systems. Maximum current 100 amps. Must be mounted vertically. Meter pictured with base.

Watts Up? Kilowatt-Hour Meter
The Watts Up kilowatt-hour meter is easy to set-up and use. It gives the user power usage information for individual appliances, displaying true power consumed, (including power factor information), and keeps track of cumulative kilowatt-hours, cumulative time the meter has been plugged in, and amount of money the electricity consumed costs. A 15 amp circuit breaker protects against overloads. UL listed.

ETA Battery Capacity Meter
This 10 step LED volt meter is marked in voltage and percent state-of-charge. The voltage reading is very accurate, and the state-of-charge is accurate if the batteries have been sitting without charging or discharging for 6 hours. The LED in the upper right lights when the battery voltage gets over 2.46 volts per cell, (usually during equalization). The LED in the lower right lights when the battery voltage is below 1.93 volts per cell. Models are available for 12, 24 and 48 volt systems. The 12 volt version is pictured. All units draw 18 mA.

Amp-Hour Meters and Shunts

With the use of an Amp-Hour meter, you can tell the condition of your batteries at a glance. An amp-hour meter is the best indicator of your system’s condition. As you use power, the meter counts how many amp hours are used. As the battery is charged, the meter goes backwards, toward zero. When the battery is full, the meter reads zero. This type of meter is a must for nickel-cadmium and nickel-iron batteries, where it is hard to tell state of charge from voltage, or specific gravity. The main destroyer of lead acid batteries is sulfation caused by undercharging. These sophisticated meters help you keep track of your battery’s state of charge so you can keep ’em charged. Get maximum life out of your batteries and save money and system down time. Note: Amp hour meters lose accuracy if batteries are always run in a very discharged state.

The Trimetric, E-meter and TM-500 Meters all show volts, amps and amp-hours on an LED display. Low battery condition is clearly displayed.

Tri-Metric 2020 Battery Monitor Amp-Hour Meter
This amp-hour meter for 12 or 24 (and 48 with adapter) volt battery systems reads volts, amps and amp-hours on an LED display. Amp-hours can be displayed in actual amp-hour numbers, or as “% full”. An LED lights when the battery is charging and flashes when the battery has been fully charged. Another LED flashes when batteries should be recharged, equalized, and during low battery voltage It also records minimum and maximum voltage, days since batteries were last charged, days since equalized, and total lifetime amp-hours withdrawn from the batteries. The Trimetric can be located hundreds of feet away from batteries using less expensive 4 conductor twisted pair meter wire. For 48 V systems or additional lightning protection on 12/24 V systems, use a 48 V adapter with the meter. A shunt is required for operation. Use the 500 Amp shunt if you have a 12 V inverter larger than 800 watts or a 24 V inverter larger than 1600 watts. Use the 1000 Amp 100mV shunt for systems with stacked SW inverters or where continuous current is over 300 amps. The 1000A/100mV shunt has the same resistance as the 500A/50mV shunt and may be used interchangably. Order shunt separately (listed on next page). Allows for a maximum battery bank size of 2500 amp hours. The positive lead to the Trimetric should be fused with a 1 amp fuse. Flush mount or use wiremold box to mount. Made in USA. Dimensions: 4.5” x 4.75”. 2 year warranty.

Trace Amp-Hour Meter TM-500
This is the Trimetric Meter manufactured for Trace in a special package with fuse and fuse holder. An improved display shows volts, amps, amp-hours and percent without changing mode. Very easy to install and use. Installation is simplified with a special shunt that includes a phone-type jack. Install the shunt, plug the special six-conductor cable in to the shunt and meter and all the connections are made! Meter shows days since fully charged, cumulative amp hours, recharge indicator, low voltage indicator, and full charge indicator. Comes with a 50’ six conductor cable with jacks, fuse, and special a 500A/50mV shunt. Also is capable of turning DR, PS, and UX inverters on and off. 2550 amp-hour max battery size. Longer length cables are available for long runs. Use the 48 volt adapter for 48 volt systems.Made in U.S.A. Dimensions: 4.55” x 4.55” x 1.725”. 2 year warranty.

28-280-029 Trace TM-500 (including shunt) $245.00

28-280-030 48 volt adapter for TM-500 $40.00


Cruising Equipment E-Meter Amp-Hour Meter
The Cruising equipment E-meter displays volts, amps and amp-hours. A handy bar graph shows, at a glance, battery condition as a function of percent full. The E-meter also keeps track of the average and greatest depth of discharge, and the number of charge and discharge cycles. To further improve accuracy, use the temperature probe. The E-meter is available alone, with RS232 output for computer connection, with LLO which is a connection to power a relay when battery is discharged, or RS232 and LLO together. It requires 5 conductors: 2 twisted pairs and 1 additional conductor. (Use 8 conductor twisted pair wire if using temp sensor.) A 500 amp/50 mV shunt is included. E-meter mounts in a 2” hole and requires 2.7” of clearance behind the mounting hole. Use the mounting bracket for flush mounting the E-meter. Allows a maximum battery bank size of 1980 amp hours. For use in electric vehicles and other high battery voltage applications use a 100 volt or 500 volt pre-scaler. Made in U.S.A. Note: Difficult to use on 48V systems. For 48V systems, use 100V prescaler. 18 month warranty.

28-280-030 E-meter (including shunt) $198.00
28-280-015 E-meter w/RS232 $289.00
