| The AM60-A Digital Ammeter provides an accurate low cost digital instrument for monitoring your aircraft’s electrical load (amps), and is programmable to use a 5.0 to 900 amp shunt. (available separately). Up to 90.0 amps the AM60-A can display your load current in tenths of an amp. Above 90 amps current is displayed in full amps.
The AM60-A can be powered by any voltage between 9.5 and 33.0 Volts. Five levels of backlighting can be selected using the front panel keys and backlighting can be turned ON/OFF remotely. All setup, calibrations, and constants are saved to nonvolatile memory.

ADS-S DC AMMETER SHUNTS This is an option and the corresponding part number must be selected below to receive the shunt with the Ammeter. Compatible with every other 50mV input ammeter... and are used with the AM60-A. The accuracy of the shunts are better than +/- 1/4% of the rated value. By definition, a shunt is a resistor, and will generate heat with passage of current. Because of this, the resistance blades of the shunt should be mounted in a vertical position to promote a free convectional flow of air. Where this mounting position is impractical, or where the shunt may be located in a small confined area, force cooling air may wish to be considered. Locations near your battery installation, and outside the cabin or engine compartment are best.
Additional consideration should be given as to the protection from physical damage and any short circuiy potential near by. A good rule of thumb when sizing a shunt for your anticipated electrical load, is to limit proposed max amperage loads to approximately 66% of the shunt's rated value. For example... using the 85A shunt.... you should be planning a design load of around 56-60 amps max.... and approximately 100 amps using the ADS-S150A shunt. shunts should be installed in the negative, or grounded side conductor.
