I have one of these set up apart from mounting. Got it working yesterday and after resetting the tanks to zero I can't get it to show liters per minute.

I am wanting to have the aircon wired via a switch that I can reach from my van recliner. It appears that the aircon is wired directly to the AC power. I think the van AC is a plug and play system with CMS components. Suggestions please. Aussie Paul.
