Hall Effect Current Sensor for Redarc Battery Voltage Monitoring Gauges

Video Transcript for Review of Redarc - Battery Chargers - 331-GS-AMPS

Today we're taking a look at the hall effect current sensor. The hall effect sensor measures current to or from your main or auxiliary battery. This sensor goes around the battery cable, has an inter diameter of around five eighths of an inch, and then the current displays on your REDARC gauge. Gauges are sold separately and are available at etrailer.com. This unit features a fully sealed cable that's protected against the elements. It's ideal for rugged environments, and it does have a 100 amp rating to prevent damage from overloads.

The cable length is around 13 feet long. Input or operating voltage is eight volt DC.Now, the three wires on the sensor are designed to plug into the correct positions on your REDARC gauge. On the back of your gauge, you're gonna have a seven way or a seven pin connector as well as a six way or a six pin connector. The yellow wire needs to be pushed into the spare hole on the seven way connector on the back of the gauge. The brown wire needs to be pushed into the end hole on the six way connector on the back of the gauge, and the pink wire needs to be pushed into the next spare hole, or spliced onto the wire in the six way connector.That's gonna do it for the hall effect current sensor from REDARC..
