What is specification of the shunt you have? 100A 75mV may be?? Or something else? The setpoint has nothing to do with the reading. It's for the alarm output.

First of all, select Signal type to '3' using password 0089

Try the following setting (display only):
PvL: 0
PvH: 100
dot: 1
Filt: 0

The max display it will show is "100.0"A

You can drill the hole on the fixture that holds on the shunt. The size of that pieces of metal (shunt) is precised calculated so don't do any change on it.
