Power Line Moniter

September 01, 2017, 10:49:13 am

My Power Line Monitor is intermittently acting up. Sometimes the voltage show close to what I think it is (based on my external Progressive industries Surge Protector as well as other internal gauges) Other times the voltages are way off e.g.140 and 90.
The green lights also are blinking. I read Barry Beams page on replacing the lights, but I think I have other problems with the Monitor.
I have "heard" that there is someone who can repair or replace the Monitor.
I have a 1999 320
Does anyone know who could do so?

I would sure start by unplugging/re-plugging contacts at the meter.  And, next time you experience this kind of error, check those connections with a voltmeter to verify whether it is a gauge or something "up-stream".

Does the problem resolve at a different hookup, or does it vary while at the same site in a given stay?

Have you checked and tightened all connections at the transfer switch and checked your power cord male end for loose lugs and inspected the cord reel end? 

L2 Voltage Way High

I would not be quick to blame the power line monitor if sometimes things are fine.  It could also be a loose/bad connection anywhere between the male end of the power cord to the breaker panel.

I second the suggestion to check for loose connections.  I had weird readings on my monitor but found the problem was a bad connection at a recently replaced male power cord plug.
