I would appreciate some help here. I recently returned the current sensor GRT sent me with my EIS because it was the smaller one and I need the larger one. GRT was nice enough to ship me the replacement before they received my return. For some reason I thought I should include the instruction sheet with the hookup instructions with the one I returned. And, you guessed it, GRT didn't include the instruction sheet with the replacement current sensor. So, I am not sure how to hook this thing up. I checked the GRT website and didn't see this sheet in the "documents" section.
So, could someone tell me how to hook this thing up? I would guess the black wire goes to a convenient ground somewhere. What about the blue and the green wires? Also, I saw where some folks loop wires through the doughnut a couple of times (at least that is what it looked like). I am just passing the the two wires (master buss feed line and main battery buss feed line) through once. How are you securing the doughnut so it doesn't slide around?
I know there is a debate on whether to measure the alternator line or battery line. Since I have an ALT OUT lamp to tell me if the alternator dies, I decided I wanted to know the current drain on the battery in case of an alternator out condition. This would help me shed loads as appropriate for the situation.
Thanks,
