I wanted to monitor alternator output, [perhaps] charging current and load current. I wanted to do it with remote shunts on the firewall where everything is, all wired to a 2- or 3-position switch that would pipe a particular reading into the display meter.

It was too expensive for me at the time ... Jim S.

    OK Mr. Aliev, since you always manage to tell me (in the nicest
    way) that I’ve screwed up, and I know you are familiar with a lot

    can chime in too – nothing like a good public flogging!

    Since our planes are so electrically dependent I, of course, want
    good monitoring of batteries and alternators (yes, I have 2 of
    each). I don’t want 2 volt meters and 2 ammeters on my panel so
    I’ve been looking for a good single instrument that can monitor
    everything – and has high and low alarms. I found this one
    http://www.newmarpower.com/pdf/Manual-DCE.pdf that does everything
    except dual ammeters in a 2 1/8” format. So I bought it at
    http://www.fisheriessupply.com/online/ for $220.

    Ok Bully – do your stuff J

Joe, this is a good unit. Newmar makes lots of very nice accessories, regulators, alternators etc. I don’t see why do you need dual ammeters? Connect it so it reads the main bus. Than turn one at the time. Don’t you disable one or the other with the field switch?
