Just received the meter &amp; shunt but there were no instructions. One answer says the wiring diagram is "shown on the right" but I can't see it. Help!

It has been a while but I believe the shunt must be placed in the ground return line. DO NOT put the shunt on the feed voltage side. I found the wiring diagram on-line. It is pretty easy to wire.

No there was no wiring diagram other than the decal below the dial. I just connected the power supply + and - wires to the IN side and the LED light strip wires to the OUT side. One note though is that you'll need to cut the connector off from the power cord that connects to the LED light strip and strip the wires to install them into the dimmer connections. Hope this helps you.

This is a frequently asked question. The voltage was apparent, however the amperes was guess work and I got the 50%-50% choice wrong. I emailed the seller and they replaced it no charge so I used the other wire. The meter has worked flawlessly for several months.

I have reasearched a good while and am still unsure. I can't figure out the wiring, it is confusing and the instructions don't help much. I will get back to you when I find something.

I have copy of instructions. I can send send them? Trick is the Yellow wire is the control wire. If you want it on all the time (which is the way I hooked it up). Black wire to negative, red and yellow to positive.

Hi Rivers yes it has a built in shunt ,I connected the yellow wire to positive,see how that goes, good luck have a good Christmas and new year Chris

There is one red and black wire that needs to be connected to a separate power source. I used a 9v battery. Black goes to the side of she shunt inline closest to the battery, the yellow goes to the shunt closest to load. The Red goes to battery positive. I used the meter to measure amps from my inverter. Works great.

We never found instructions. When we purchased our unit it came with a couple of these already installed, so we looked and repeated what we saw. I think we had to cut some wires to tie in the new lights. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Just make shure that what ever your load can pull current wise the wire connecting the load too the shunt and shunt too power source or ground is capable of carrying the current one reason why I bought this meter is because if you have a floating ground it won't fry the meter like it will with one that has a fixed power source I fried one before bying this one do to a small amount of current going from my current source to my voltage supply if there is such an event with this one the reading will just be in acurate pretty bullet proof setup

Sorry, I gave it to my son as a gift. Did some on-line research and found the manual, but it does not give instructions. I did find some sites that sell a fuse replacement kit. Acetoolonline.com sells a kit for $9.49. Maybe the kit has instructions. David - Wichita Falls

Hi Kao, The wiring diagram is on the relay itself. I was looking for a separate wiring diagram but discovered the markings on the relay when I held it up to the light. Each pole has a n/o & n/c position. Hope this answers your questions. It's working great for me.

I don't know of an online diagram for it. I just checked all of my assumptions on a multimeter, rather than trusting documentation. If you have specific questions, I will be happy to help.

I just ordered my device, so this "answer" is from principles only. To measure DC current one puts a low ohm resistor IN LINE (in series) with the current carrying wire. Then one measures the voltage drop across that resistor and computes the current by Ohm's law (actually the device does this for you). The resistor can get hot, so it must be air cooled (hence external). It appears that the shunt is included (see picture).

Did you get the external shunt? Go to ebay and search for.... Amp volt meter...... you will find one like yours along with a drawing.

I used to have a picture of my setup up on the page, but it appears to have dissapeared. I attached a T to the outlet and placed a pressure tank on one outlet, and the water line to the other part of the T. I have had no issues. this is the tank i usedWatts DET-5 2.1 G Potable Water Expansion Tank for 50-Gallon Water Heaters

It should have a seperate sheet from the instruction manual to show how to wire it up. If not call the number to them and have them e-mail you that sheet. If no success can email me at tazmandevil14@gmail.com (subject: Insruction sheet) and I will email it to you.

Negative, yet there is an input receptacle with NO SPECS as to polarity and voltage needed, as well a missing current spec needed when multiple items are connected. Closer inspection of item shows no specs ON the item either, but it appears that an area below the receptacle has been sanded off, as if the specs were removed, as was the model info. Weird.. Inspection was done with lighted magnifier I used at NASA to inspect pins. sort of like owning a 7-stall barn that will only hold 4 horses at best ;-)
