Does this hour meter work with marine diesel engines?

Yes it will. The hour meter is hooked to the 12v ignition "RUN" lug on the ignition switch. It don't care if it's burning Diesel, gas or corn squeezins. Hope this helps! GREAT METER I just love the thing ran it a full season, no problems and goes really nice with my Teleflex Eclipse gages which are black housings and blue lettering. It would go with any color really as the lettering in the meter is white.

It works with most newer meters. The older flukes had the much larger connector which u then connected an adaptor to.

I'm not familiar with the Reliance Prime Meter. I don't know if it will work or not.

If the pump is 110-120 volts AC it will work. Anything powered by 110/120 VAC can be used with this meter.

I have not had any problems with the meter, I am not sure what you are wanting to check the frequency of, but I use it on HVAC equipment and check frequency once in a while and it works for checking that.

i dont know.just hook an ammeter in series with it and a battery and you'll find out

Yes. I just tried moving the meter back and forth across some reflective tape about 3" away and it gave me readings in the 40 to 60 rpm range which was about right.

This unit 85250 will NOT work on a diesel.You would need Edge number 85200.Please feel free to give me a call if you need more information.Thanks,Davemonster performance870-580-0940

The meter must have its own, separate power supply. I use a 12vdc transformer plugged into my inverter and it works great. I am able to monitor amps used by the inverter and other DC loads connected to my batteries as well as switch to see battery voltage. If you already have a separate power supply, you may have a bad meter.

That is a pretty long distance to go for this gauge. The wires are small so, if you do try, use at least 14 ga. wire.Not sure you'll get a good signal that far away. I recommend trying to locate the gauge closer to the engine.You may want to consider an outboard specific unit if you want the tach as a main feature.If you are most concerned with the hour meter portion, then mount the gauge close to the motor as you don't look at the hours very often.This gauge is good for small engines and the hour meter feature is real useful.

yes, any engine with a spark plug wire.Wire on hour meter simply wraps around plug wire and induced signal operates the hour meter. I have two now and both work great!

This is not an inductive hour meter. It connects to the ignition switch (switched 12v) and to ground. It clicks very quietly as it counts the tenths of a minute.

I don't have a current meter on this but it would not work with my car or a 1amp power supply I have. It did work when connected to the 12v accessory plug (cigarette lighter) in my truck and boat.

You want to use a tachometer for rpm. For hour meter hook this up in parallel with your ignition switch.

When it worked yes I checked it against a conventional gauge and another digital gauge. The problem was it stopped working after each and I had to replace the batteries then it would work once the replace the batteries. I returned it after one use. Not reliable at all.

Cannot answer your question exactly but suggest you look at the following link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoeUgMFLyAw.It will give you a GOOD insight. For my use the meter is adequate.

Yes it has an hour meter. By idle control are you referring to the choke? It has a push/pull chokeIt seems my main problem was a kinked gas line which no one seemed to notice (I fixed it myself). Since then, so far I've been able to get it to run as long as I don't pull the choke all the way out, or at least I quickly push the choke slightly in while starting it.
