I connected mine at the fuse block, used the fused side of the circuit that
is only on when the key is on, I also used a relay I got at Pep Boys, and
put a switch in the cockpit with an inline fuse as added protection. I'm
glad that the ammeter reflects its usage because it really draws a lot of
current and a glance at teh instruments reminds me it's on.
Just what I did, not necessarily the right thing.
