help needed wiring up 100 Amp Ampmeter with shunt

KC
You wire the shunt in as you have assumed, you then connect the two thin wires from the ammeter with one to either side of the shunt. If your meter reads the wrong way reverse the two thin wires. The ammeter it self is a volt meter and reads the voltage drop over the shunt when current passes through it. If you want to read what is going in and out of your aux battery you connect the wire that supplies all your loads from the aux battery to the main battery side of the shunt. Seeing that your using a 100 amp meter a discharge of 10 amps will not show up much on the meter. Hope this helps.
