Upgrade Pak for all Buddy boxes on order (waiting for build) to Twin 4 Color kWh meters
This is an Order Upgrade Pak for all pending Buddy boxes of any number. It adds a second meter to the unit, to have TWO of my 4 Color kWh Meters (boxes that don't come with a meter will now have one meter). Not recommended for RV Buddy, as the meter is not rated for outdoor use. Each meter runs at 120volts and reads one Phase, voltage and amperage are displayed, wattage and kWh's are calculated and displayed independently on each meter for each Phase.
The meter in my 240v Buddy boxes are setup for 240volt loads, not 120/240v mixed loads, the meter reads the 240volt circuit by monitoring current on Phase 1 only (black wire) which is all that is needed in a 240volt circuit. If you are using a 4-prong device that operates on only one Phase (120volts) the displayed wattage and kWh's will be doubled as it's calculated at 240volts, also any 120v draw on Phase 2 (read wire) is not monitored. For this rare application we recommend the this Twin Meter Upgrade Pak. This is a great upgrade for when you need to keep track of the power used by each phase independently.
Another use for Twin meters is in conjunction with my Triple Play upgrade Pak, by request you may have the first meter installed traditionally to monitor it's 240v outlet and the second meter may monitor the third 240v outlet. In this configuration each meter reads the 240volt circuit by monitoring current on Phase 1 only (black wire) which is all that is needed in a 240volt circuit.
This Upgrade Pak is not for existing units that are already built. You must have a Dryer Buddy™, Electric Range Buddy, ect on order FIRST or in your cart before adding this Upgrade Pak, purchasing this upgrade doesn't include a Buddy unit, it is an Upgrade Pak as titled.
If this Upgrade Pak is ordered after 2 business days (M-F) from your original order you must contact BSA Electronics first to see if your original order qualifies as it may be to far along into the build process.
This is the latest and greatest meter that I offer for my custom products. Check out the demo video I made comparing the original to the new unit: New 4 color meter
The example pic shown is of a customized Electric Range Buddy Plus AUTO with this Upgrade Pak added. The outlets have not been installed yet. It is only for illustration purposes to show the 4 color meter. Your unit will have the outlets as you order it on face.
