Hello,
I bought an YB27VA (red/blue led 3,5-30vdc power – 0-100vdc 100A measure range), 5 wires (2 black, 2 red, 1 yellow).
I bought it to measure a dc fan’s voltage and current consumption.
VOLTAGE: no probs. It works.
AMPERE: without a wiring diagram, I’m afraid of damaging it.Please let me know how I have to connect it.
Thanks a lot.See you soon.

LT4August 30, 2016 at 3:48 pmPost count: 0Thanks for support, but there is a big problem: you shared me 3 images that contains a rectangular part called SHUNT. I haven’t it!
That’s what I bought: https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00HEAFQ1W
What is it? Can I made it? How I can build it?
Thanks in advance.
See you soon,
LT4LT4August 30, 2016 at 9:12 pmPost count: 0Just a few extra-notes:
I understand that I have to provide 4.5-30VDC to the 2-pins connector (power).
I understand that I have to connect the item under measure (in my case, just a simply fan, that will work in range 0-12VDC/0-1,2A) to the 3-pins connector (reader).But I don’t understand how I have to connect my fan (item to measure) to the 3-pin connector.
In fact, I’ve already turned ON the panel meter, and it shows the voltage correctly. But it doesn’t shows the current absorption (because I haven’t used the yellow cable, due to no-istructions inside).As shown in your three images, I believe that you use an item called SHUNT. In my box (that I received from Amazon) there is NO SHUNT!!!!
What is this item called SHUNT? Do I ABSOLUTELY need it? If yes, can I build by myself/is on sale?
Thanks 🙂
LT4Hello LT4,
Thank you for your reply.
All the meters, which the measured current range is over 10A, need to use with a shunt, otherwise, the meter will be burnt.
This 100A meter must be used with a shunt but so sorry that there is not a shunt included in the package.
Beg your understanding.
Besides, is the current range of your fan 0-1.2A?
If yes, this meter may be not suitable for your application.
It is recommended that the measured current range of the meter is twice as the real measured current.
If the measured current range is too wide , it will affect the accuracy.
Hope this can help you.

Thank you for writing in.
We have mentioned that the current measured range of this meter is 0-100A, which needs to be used with a shunt, otherwise, the meter will be burnt.
If you want to use this meter, you need to purchase a 100A/75mV shunt.
And then wiring it according to the wiring diagram we sent to you before.
Hope this can help you.

Thank you for writing in.
Could you please tell us your order ID or the link of the product to let us ensure the product you have purchased?
Please note that for installing a shunt is according to the measuring range of the meter not the real measuring range of your application.
If the meter is equipped with a shunt, please use the meter with the shunt, otherwise, the meter will be damaged.
Hope you can understand.
Best regardsCOburnerApril 11, 2017 at 8:58 pmPost count: 0If you have very small understanding of electronics the diagrams here are confusing indeed, as they show wiring for both <10 A (using an internal shunt already on the board) and for >10 A, when you need to cut the internal shunt and wire the external one in its place — BOTH CONDITIONS ON THE SAME PICTURE! Seller should provide much clearer diagrams; and someone who actually understands users’ problems should be answering questions! But I also feel that a user who does not understand exactly the nature of such devices should NOT be doing projects of this complexity without expert local guidance.
Lee BuxbaumMay 18, 2017 at 12:19 pmPost count: 0I purchased 2 of these meters as well. I also purchased two 75mV 30A shunts. I need to know which diagram to use. I will be using a 24v power supply to provide power to my Heated bed (3D Printer) and seperate 12v power supply to provide power to my hotend Nozzle. I want to be able to monitor the voltage of the supplies and the current that the bed and nozzles are pulling from each. Please advise as soon as possible.
Thank you
