I picked one of these up from ebay, for my vehicle.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/0-100V-200A...083?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item418b8ffaab
I have an older vehicle with the stock ammeter and connected the shunt between the line coming into the old ammeter and the lines that were on the other side - basically I put the shunt in place of the old ammeter.
Now I am not sure how to hook up the digital ammeter/voltmeter? I see where it says it should be on the negative leg of the load, but this is not possible with it taking the place of the ammeter circuit as it goes into the fuse box.
I saw this schematic:
http://suns-power.en.alibaba.com/pr...tal_Ammeter_Digital_DC_Ammeter_72mA_100A.html
and that is basically how I have it hooked up with the load after the shunt.
the ammeter wires for the ammeter I got have a COM, IN+, and POWER+. I am not sure if the POWER+ wire go before the shunt and the IN+ after or vis vera. Also, is the COM a ground wire? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
