cover ur bike..n lock the cover..

beware of buying voltmeters from car accessories shop. They usually built for indoor - car driver's dashboard. If put silicon to seal water is fine, but silicon makes it looks ugly & hot sun may spoil the LCD. The loois motor & Motorworld voltmeters are for bikes only - outdoor - water resistant etc

The easiest way to install is,

 

1. expose abt 1cm length from your red wire of the voltmeter

2. Remove of your fuse from the fuse box

3. try to insert the exposed wire into one of the 2 'holes' (or slots, originally holding the fuse)

4. secure the wire by putting back the fuse

 

 

5. expose abt 3cm length from your black wire of the voltmeter

6. loosen 2 to 3 rounds of your battery -ve screw

7. wrapped the exposed black wire around the screw

8. tighten back the screw.

 

 

P/S: the wires provided definitely not long enough, u got to extend them urself in this kinda of installing, the voltmeter wont light up unless u on ur ignition.

tats easy, just tap red to +ve battery and black to -ve battery.

 

 

but u cant connect it tat way becoz the voltmeter will always be on be it ignition on or off.

hi paiseh, is there any particular wire for extension or any types of wire also can??

 

u mean remove the fuse? u're reffering to those EXTRA fuse isit?

 

then the wiring must go underneath the tank if i connect to the fuse or can just tap from the headlight??

 

sorry cos i also duno how to DIY.

yup kinda wire will do. those 30cents per meter from any shop also can. if u got more cash, u can get those thicker ones at $1 + per metre.

 

im referring to removal of headlight, or ignition or any fuse, not those spare fuses (spare fuses got no current going thru )

 

tap from headlight also can. but u muz understand the the voltmeter might not be as accurate as tapping from fuse and may suffer voltage drop due to resistance in wire. around +- 0.1V.

 

ino need sorry la, last time i also dunno how to DIY.. slowly learn lor. its fun!

i think i'll just go for 30cents per meter. i think 1meter is enough ritee.. still got left over leh..

 

like that i need to check which one is which fuse already.. if tap from fuse dan must take out tank go underneath, more accurate

 

bought a cup holder but the 'rubber band' which is to help the voltmeter to keep in place refused me to push it in.. haa.. will try again...

 

thanks bro~ if not i pm u again

[paiseh]

fuses come in different color codes to signify 10amp or 15 or 20amp fuse.

 

 

usually the fuses are all placed in a fuse box.

can anyone update the price list for voltmeter for auto gauge and passport brand

[Refugee]

bike n scooter still has the voltmeter?

 

i'm not too interested in seeing actual numbers for voltmeter... so those lights would do...

 

anyone any idea?

[snowparang]

actually hor...I've been wondering why are voltmeters so expensive!

 

A digital multimeter (with voltmeter, ammeter, ohm meter...) cos less than 20 bucks! Unfortunately they run on batteries so can't tap our bike batt to power them.

 

So if you do not need to CONSTANTLY monitor your voltage, buying a multimeter is a better and cheaper alternative.

[Refugee]

but i dunno how to use multimeter.. hahha

[eddie23]

ah boy selling autogauge ones. just bought one smoke screen one for $30.best not to buy those too expensive type, easily get stolen.

[BlackHonda]

ahboy or regina? digital ones have?

[weian_85]

i jus install 1 auto gauge voltmeter from botak.. very solid.. will upload pic soon..

 

Cheers~
