With the Skyview EMS, can I put a second ammeter shunt input into the unit? I only find one set of dedicated contacts in the documentation with no indication of secondary contacts for an additional shunt - can this be done?

We only support one shunt. However, you can use a ammeter clamp that outputs 0-5V and make a custom sensor for this. We also support the GRT CS-01 sensors.

I'm planning this also using the GRT CS-02 for a backup alternator. It wires in the same as the CS-01.

My plan is to use pin 18 for the 5 vdc+, pin31 for the sense return and a ground.

Pin 18 will power the Manifold Pressure Sensor, the GRT CS-02, and position power for a Ray Allen pitch trim servo. Can it handle all that?

Thanks, Jack

The CS-02 has a different gain than the CS-01. You'll need to write a custom sensor config to use this.

The output of that pin can handle those three loads.
