Installing an HDX with UL Power 350iS engine:
Dynon includes a 60 shunt. I know where in the system to wire in the shunt, but where do the two wires coming from the shunt (to the ammeter) connect to the Dynon? I can't find any mention of this in the diagram.
Also, the Aircraft Wiring Handbook (p. 31) indicates that a shunt is not required to "tell if the alternator is working". It says that I can simply look at the voltage.
So, should I install the shunt or just use the voltage? If I can look at the voltage and see if the alternator is working, what's the advantage of installing the shunt?
Thank you!
