Incorrect shunt?

I ordered my SV EMS sensors with a 60A shunt. While the Dynon box says 60A, the actual shunt says 40A. Is this an incorrect part? Along this line, can a 100A shunt be used (purchased elsewhere since you do not offer one) or would that require making my own sensor definitions?

The box markings are showing that 40A = 40 mV. That is the right shunt, and it is spec'd for 60A loads. You can use any shunt you'd like, provided that it's 1A per mV. Ours is only spec'd for 60A though.
