Bob,   

I’m confused.  I note in the “Connection” you support, if only one electrical instrument is to be installed it should be an ammeter to measure battery charge/discharge. (I think I got it close to what you wrote).  However, I don’t see a shunt, except in the alternator circuit for some diagrams.  Please ‘un-confuse’ me.  

I’ve used the Z16 for my Rotax powered Kitfox and am considering adding the shunt on the neg side of the battery.  

Thanks  

Frank

   My apologies sir. I wrote that section a long time ago

   and it's going to be updated at revision 12. If you have

   only one electrical system monitor, it should be a low voltage

   warning light. If you add anything on top of that, I'd recommend

   an expanded scale voltmeter on the e-bus and/or an alternator

   loadmeter . . . but both of those are only small peeks at a variety

   of test points you'll need to look at for diagnosis. Ammeters

   and voltmeters are poor monitoring tools. And as diagnostic

   tools, they are only a part of what's necessary for troubleshooting.



   Bob . . .
