I've had my Datel voltmeter for over a year now and it's bugged me that I have to add 0.8V to the reading to get the true voltage. You see I have had the voltmeter switched by connecting to the relay for the Magnum horns.
So today I disconnected the live from the relay and connected to the blue wire for the rear running light - this way I still get the Datel switched - blow me but the reading is still 0.8V below what it should be.
I've now connected the live from the Datel direct to the Battery + terminal and I have a correct value - but it's not switched!!.
But my questions are :
1. How can I have my Datel wire up so it is switched and gives a true voltage?
2. If I decide to add a real switch in the Datel circuit how do I find one that is waterproof?
TIA
