Looks to me (from the pictures on the E-bay page) like it would fit between your battery and the panel and bus. In other words, the battery + would connect to the ammeter +, then the + Load would lead to where you now have the panel "fed from the positive of the battery". And likewise on the negative side. But I was never very good with electricity; Keith Martin will know, for sure. ----- John Tyner M-15 #412 "Chimpanzee" On 2/20/2016 4:11 AM, Jazzy wrote:
Hi all, A cheapie little Volt/Ammeter just showed up in the mail. Im looking at it and not quite getting how it gets hooked up. It has 4 wires and a horrible little diagram that looks something like this:
- ---------------------------- + ---------------------------- - Load --------------------- +Load ---------------------
My setup is probably much like everyone elses, I have the 8 switch panel fed from the positive of the battery, and also a little negative bus bar for all the negative wires connected to the negative of the battery
Im thinking the simple + and - wires just go to the battery to power the unit. The other two wires that go to the "Load" is where Im losing it...
Do I put the +Load on the last position of the switch panel and the - Load wire on the bus? I dunno...Not sure where it would pick up the "load". Hellllp! Thank you all in advance, Im sure I'll have an answer shortly from one of you super geniuses!
