2. Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety instructions before operating this device. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or damage to the product.
- Ensure the input voltage and current do not exceed the specified limits of 0-60V DC and 100A.
- Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device.
- Keep the device away from water, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
- Use appropriate wiring and connectors for the current and voltage levels involved.
- Always disconnect power before making or breaking connections.
3. Package Contents
Verify that all items are present in the package:
- 1 x ciciglow DC Digital Power Meter (100A)
- 1 x English User Manual
4. Setup and Connection
The power meter is designed for inline measurement. Connect it according to the following instructions:
- Identify the 'IN' and 'OUT' terminals on the meter. The 'IN' side connects to the power source (e.g., battery, solar panel output). The 'OUT' side connects to the load (e.g., inverter, device being powered).
- Connect the positive (+) wire from your power source to the red 'IN' wire of the meter.
- Connect the negative (-) wire from your power source to the black 'IN' wire of the meter.
- Connect the red 'OUT' wire of the meter to the positive (+) input of your load.
- Connect the black 'OUT' wire of the meter to the negative (-) input of your load.
- Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.

5. Operating Instructions
Once connected and power is applied, the meter will automatically display real-time measurements.
5.1 Display Functions
The large screen displays voltage (V), current (A), and power (W). The lower right section of the display shows additional statistical data.

5.2 Switching Statistical Data
A button located on the side of the meter allows you to cycle through different statistical measurements in the lower right display area. Press the button to switch between the following categories:
- AH: Ampere-hours (accumulated charge)
- WH: Watt-hours (accumulated energy)
- Ap: Peak Amps (maximum current recorded)
- Vm: Minimum Volts (minimum voltage recorded)
- Wp: Peak Watts (maximum power recorded)

5.3 Backlight Settings
The meter's backlight can be configured. Settings for the backlight are saved even when the power is turned off, ensuring your preferences are retained.
6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and accurate operation of your ciciglow DC Power Meter, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the meter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Inspection: Periodically check the wiring and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your ciciglow DC Power Meter, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- No Display: Check all power connections to ensure they are secure and that the power source is active and within the specified voltage range (0-60V DC).
- Incorrect Readings: Verify that the meter is connected correctly (IN to source, OUT to load) and that the wires are properly seated. Ensure the load is drawing current for accurate current and power readings.
- Button Unresponsive: Ensure the device is powered on. If the button still does not respond, try disconnecting and reconnecting power.
- Intermittent Readings: Check for loose connections or damaged wiring. Ensure the operating environment is stable and free from excessive electrical noise.
If problems persist, contact customer support.
