Guys, my digital submeter spoilt already, I bought an Analog one as replacement. Since the cabling already in place, I am thinking if I can replace it myself. But then when I opened up the casing, I saw the circuit diagram is slightly different compare to Analog one. Please see photo attached.


Note: Left is Digital meter, Right is Analog.





Question: Can I just connect the cable as the current setup?
Appreciate if anyone can guide me on this.

Thanks,
Futura

I am no electricians but I dont see any different between the two.

If you are not sure and for safety, pay an electrician to fix it.

Disclaimer : I'm not a wiring technician, I share what I understand by seeing the circuit diagrams you provided, TS.

It looks like the digital and the analog meters have similar wirings, just that the analog have an extra hole/port where you need to split the L wire to hole 1 & 2, or you can put L into hole 1 and then use a wire from hole 1 to hole 2 (make sure similar thickness or gauge), the rest seems similar to the digital meter.

Sounds like it, the meter is powered up using #2. The standard line-load pairs are there. Make sure your wiring is thicc enough to support everything after that meter. And use the correct colour code, its easy to buy short length wires with the correct colour.
