Yeah I want the meter to display for all voltages. How can I make them switch?. Also I didn't find any kind of part numberWhat is the part number for the display? Do you have a manual/datasheet?
Do you want the meter to display information for all of the voltages? If that's the case, you need a way to switch the display between them.
It didn't come with any data sheet. Whit isolated... Cant just be the first thing that gains power?If you purchased that meter from a distributor it should come with a single sheet showing which colored wire is for what. If you purchased it from amazon you are probably out of luck. Or if you lost the connection diagram.
One thing to be aware of is that many such digital meters require a separate ISOLATED power source for their operation.
One way is to use a rotary switch. One with 4 poles and 5 throws would do it.Yeah I want the meter to display for all voltages. How can I make them switch?. Also I didn't find any kind of part number
That's a really good idea sadly I can't buy anything and it's for tomorrow lol, but I thought of an idea what if I connect it this way, besides the aesthetic, does it work?, and if it doesn't why?One way is to use a rotary switch. One with 4 poles and 5 throws would do it.
The way those meters usually measure current is by inserting a sense resistor and measuring the voltage drop across it. Multiple ranges would complicate things further.
These switches from Newark might do it, but they cost $56-166 and only one is good for more than 1A.

I can hardly read that. if the yellow one is constantly changing of power source it shouldn't affect the meter right?This is a typical connection:

The devil is in the details. The info I posted was for a meter that required a supply of 4-30V. So as long as the voltage being measured was in that range, the second connection could be used.I can hardly read that. if the yellow one is constantly changing of power source it shouldn't affect the meter right?
Yes I think it's like that(the measure that I'm going to do is 5-12), the second connection means that I got to put both the red wire and the yellow wire in the Caiman?The devil is in the details.

For that particular meter, the red wire is the meter supply and yellow is the voltage being measured.
Without info for your meter, we have to guess.
They go to the supply positive.the second connection means that I got to put both the red wire and the yellow wire in the Caiman
