A 12 volt draw on battery from a one wire alternator
You lopped off the most important part of the photo, LOL. Put one probe (black) in the normal "common" connector at far bottom right.
Put your other probe in the "10A" (10 amp) connector.
BE VERY CAREFUL and do not short anything to ground. An ammeter is a SERIES device, and you will blow the internal meter fuse
Hook battery.........alligator lead.........one field connection........other field connection........one meter lead.........ground remaining meter lead
See? this puts everything in SERIES meaning "all in a row." The current goes THROUGH the meter. Turn the pulley and look at the meter. Turning the meter revolves the slip rings and "averages out" the reading.
