Frequently Asked Questions
For selecting an ammeter, what information should I have before contacting a distributor or sales rep?
- What range do you need to cover (eg: 60-0-60 amps) Note: Some 60-0-60 and above ammeters require an external shunt. Be sure to verify in our catalog listing if one is needed.
- Do you require lighting in the instrument
- Diameter of the opening the instrument will be mounted in
- What type of environment will the instrument be used in (eg: highway; high moisture; off-road; stationary equipment; etc)
If you wish to match the style of existing instruments you should also have the following:
- If your current instruments are a Stewart Warner line, which line (Seaworthy, Heavy Duty Plus, etc) (see the Stewart Warner Products page for the product lines)
- Bezel color wanted (black, polished, etc)
- Dial face and graphics (black dial, white numbers, SAE symbols, etc)
- Pointer type and color (eg: red with black hub)
