1. Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 17 Nov 1997 17:29:01; I am about to replace the full set of Mallory gauges on my modified Spitfire with a set of gauges from a later TR6. The ammeter will be replaced with a voltmeter. Can someone tell me what the connec; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01128.html (8,049 bytes)
2. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 15:59:25 -0600 (CST) "Voltmeter wiring" (Nov 17, 5:29pm); It's probably not a conventional volt meter. I would guess that current flowing through the meter heats a bimetallic spring, which bends to move the meter needle. -- _________________________________; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01247.html (9,396 bytes)
3. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 17:24:21 -0500 (EST); Barry and Jeff: This is indeed the case. The TR6 voltmeter works the same as the fuel and water temp gauge. Because of the heating/cooling required to move the needles, they are rather (very) slow to; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01250.html (8,849 bytes)
4. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 09:55:39 +1100; Dan The wiring colours obviously follow a logical pattern. Could you expand on what you have told us already? Does the stripe colour indicate anything in particular? Regards, Trevor Jordan 74 TR6 CF2; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01254.html (7,962 bytes)
5. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Wed, 19 Nov 1997 22:46:25 GMT; This is an interesting circuit. <to me anyway> :-) *Both* the voltage stabiliser and fuel gauge work with heaters. For this reason they behave in a complementary fashion, offsetting their own errors; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01283.html (8,351 bytes)
6. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 08:55:52 -0500; This brings up an interesting topic. Can anyone explain the operation of the voltage stabilizer? In my mind, I always thought it operated similar to a voltage regulator and could easily be replaced w; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01297.html (9,767 bytes)
7. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Thu, 20 Nov 1997 17:45:06 -0500 (EST); in Trevor: Yes, there is a logical pattern to the colors used in Triumphs, and most other, if not all, British cars as well. At the highest level, the colors are very straight forward, and easy to re; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01330.html (9,996 bytes)
8. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 08:33:21 -0500; Great posting, Dan. I've now got some of the mystery unraveled.

9. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 22 Nov 1997 21:23:15 -0500 (EST); to Vic: I'll give it a try! Basically, the old style voltage regulator used in our LBCs is nothing more than a switch. In operation, it is constantly switching the voltage to the gauges on and off.

10. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sat, 22 Nov 1997 23:56:11 GMT; snip! Well the difference should be obvious! My car is a Spitfire and yours is a TR6. Everybody knows that the '70s Spifires were crafted to Mercedes-like standards. :-) Well, if YOU don't know, *I*; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01455.html (12,901 bytes)
11. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 16:37:15 -0500; Yes, they are temperature compensated. The accuracy of the temperature compensation is usually on the data sheet, and most all are plenty good for a fuel gauge situation. They actually have to be tem; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01481.html (9,280 bytes)
12. Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 18:10:20 GMT; Hi Trevor! We may have hit the limits of context here. :-) Let me explain: Solid state voltage regulators are indeed very well temperature compensated for their intended purpose.

Re: Voltmeter wiring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Sun, 23 Nov 1997 20:52:51 -0500 (EST); (speaking of solid state voltage regulators used to replace the bi-metal type supplied from the factory for Triumph gauges) Trevor: Are they temperature compensated to provide a *constant* output vol; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01490.html (8,781 bytes)

What we keep trying to get back to in this thread is a closed loop system like the original voltage stabilizer circuit in our LBCs. Admittedly, the loop is only loosely; /html/triumphs/1997-11/msg01545.html (10,385 bytes)
