Won't Show CA Accessory Current Draw 

 

The CA-DP plug on the motor controller is wired up so that it will show the 
current draw of the motor and controller, but not the current draw of any other 
devices (like front lights) that are plugged into the CA's power tap. If you want the 
Cycle Analyst to show auxiliary device current, then the controller can be opened 
up and the black wire from the CA-DP cable moved from the - side of the shunt 
(adjacent to the blue wire) to the + side of the shunt (adjacent to white wire).
