It mounts on the Negative battery terminal. The meter then connects to the small terminals.
There should be a diagram on the back of the meter for connections.

Not that specific shunt, but I'm going through a similar process.

My 200A shunt used to hang off the battery bus-bar with the cable hanging off the bottom. But after reading a post on here where the shunt apparently failed on overheat and dropped the wire somewhere it shouldn't go I've had a re-think.

I'm also upgrading to a 300A shunt.

So, how about using these bus-bar insulators?



Like this: -



They appear to be made of some sort of phenolic-resin, definitely not simple moulded plastic that would melt.

Thoughts???
