Is this the meter:

If it is then you got Sleazebayed. Look at the bottom of the meter scale, usually on
the left side. You'll probably see in tiny printing something like "fs=" and then a
number. Perhaps "fs=100ua". From the (probably intentionally) blurry photograph I
can't quite make out the small text at the bottom of the meter scale.
If you do then you have an ordinary analog DC milli- or microamp meter with a scale
marked in frequency. It is driven by an external frequency to voltage or frequency
to current module. The "fs=" value is what it takes to actually drive the meter. The
"+" mark and the shorting strap across the terminals to protect the delicate DC meter
movement during shipping are the clinchers.
By itself it is worthless as a frequency meter. Hang it on the wall to remind you
why buying Sleazebay stuff is a bad idea. Better yet, return it to the guy for a
refund since he misrepresented it as a frequency meter.
For that same $20, you can get a Kill-A-Watt digital meter that reads volts, amps,
watts, VARs, power factor, frequency, KWH and elapsed time. This is the first hit I
got using Google Products

Post by d***@volcanomail.comI've got a generator, and I need to set the frequency, so I bought a
cheap frequency meter on ebay. It's a Wacline N20394A analog panel
meter apparently off an old Kurz & Root generator. It measures 55-65
Hz. It has two terminals on the back, one is marked with a + sign,
the other is unmarked. There is a little spring like wire that
bridges the two terminals in the back. I have no instructions,
diagrams, etc, and have no idea how to hook up this meter. Anyone out
there have any ideas?
