I looked thru the forum, but nothing l could apply.
The volt & amp meter has 5 wires, two for isolated
supply, and three for measurement. It's rated for
30v, range 100v/10A. Built in shunt.

I also have some pics of my progress on this supply so far...
I'll share those too. I'm using a heatsink from a scraped
Mercedes Benz. Transformer came from an industrial yard,
it ran a hydraulic pump for a truck weigh scale. The front
panel is from an old road sign.

Anyway, I'm close to getting this done, but ran into this snag.
I posted earlier in the following thread. I have the schematic over there
for those who are curious.

You need to get the actual specs/schematics for the meter, I did try looking this up on ebay but I didn't find it.

My guess is that the 2 terminal connector is for power. I see some wires in one of the photos. If they're for the panel meter, colors will give you clues.

• power leads: black=GND, red=power
• 3 lead: black=GND, red=voltage, other=current

If you have wires for connecting to the panel meter, post (smaller size) pictures -- better information yields better guesses...

Did you try contacting the Seller??

 

The seller responded, and sent me a link for a word.doc of the wiring
schematic. Unfortunately, it is in chinese language, sigh. I will follow
this post with google translate. Here is the
download link. The file is prohibited from upload to this forum:

☆ ☆ basic properties
The module name current and voltage measurement accuracy of 0.1% the display module
About 200ms refresh rate display mode once double three 0.28 "digital tube
Measuring range 2A / 5A / 10A / 50A / 100A (current) measurement range 0V-100V (voltage) minimum display 0.01V
Operating current of less than 10mA display color red blue
Storage temperature -10 ℃ to + 85 ℃ splitter Specifications 50A / 100A / 75mV
Weight 20g external dimensions 48 * 29 * 26mm (LWH)
Features:
★ This module uses two high-quality digital LED manufacturing, high brightness, and can display the current and voltage.
★ This module uses imported MCU sampling and display current and voltage, and the software has been a lot of data processing, the display precise and stable.
★ This module is fully patch technology, superb technology, while ultra-small size.
★ This module has reverse polarity protection, even if it will not reverse damage to the module.
Instructions
★ supply terminal and the ground terminal of the ammeter measurements using common design, that is, the power supply ground terminal and ground test is the same, so the test can only end ammeter in series with the electrical after (ie test between a negative electrode and the DUT power supply equipment)
★ recommend header supply end a separate isolated power supply
It must first access circuit before ★ splitter and then followed by a digital ammeter using high pressure to prevent damage to the meter head.
Access shunt circuit must first before using digital ammeter head then followed to prevent damage to the high pressure header.

Lead Definition ( 5 lines)
Thin black line : Header negative power supply
The Thin Red Line : Header supply positive ( red line between fine and thin black line voltage 4-30V, than will burn )
Thick red line : measuring positive voltage input ( voltage wires and a thick black line which is between the voltmeter shows )
Thick blue line : measuring the current flowing into the lead .
Thick black line : the measured current flowing lead ( thick black line and the thin black line is common ground , it is communicating )

产品特点：

★本模块使用两个优质的LED数码管制造，亮度高，并且可以同时显示电流电压。

★本模块使用原装进口的单片机采样和显示电流电压，并且在软件上进行了大量的数据处理，使显示精准，稳定。

★本模块为全贴片的工艺，工艺精湛，同时体积超小。

★本模块具有反接保护，就算接反也不会损坏模块。

使用方法

★本电流表的供电端与测量端的地线采用共地设计，也就是说，供电电源的地线与测试端的地线是相通的，所以电流表的测试端只能串在用电器之后（即被测设备的负极与被测设备电源的负极之间）

★建议表头供电端采用单独隔离供电

★使用前必须先将分流器接入电路然后再接数字电流表头以防高压损坏表头。

使用前必须先将分流器接入电路然后再接数字电流表头以防高压损坏表头。

The doc has 5 schematics, but only two of them are isolated supply.
I have extra hand windings on my transformer for fans, indicators, &
instrumentation. An independent supply for the meter usually returns
better accuracy, so that's my plan. I guess my brain fart is that all of
the supplied schematics show an external shunt, where my unit has
the shunt built in. I guess there are several
models of this meter available.

The two small gauge red/black are for the isolated supply. I got that.
The three large wires are red/black/blue. I'm guessing the thick red
wire will goe either before, or after my output fuse on the positive supply,
the black wire will go to the supply ground, and the blue wire will go
to my negative banana jack on the front panel. Does that sound right?

But you never mentioned that you understood that... I'm still not very proficient at mind reading...

Why guess? The document you posted gives the connections.

• Red = positive output terminal
• Blue = negative output terminal
• Black = internal ground

 

You don't have to be snippy, dl324.

Nevertheless, I feel confident with your reply,
and I'll give you the kudos.

Much thanks, hugs, & kisses!
