Hello Sandun,
by ignition fed it means, only live with the ignition on.
on the fuse box there is a fuse fed by a white wire, through the fuse to green wires, that is the connection you want.
But why do you want both a voltmeter and ammeter, it's not necessary?

The needle should be on zero when nothing is connected.
It should also be at zero when the ignition is off.
If there is even a small drain shown between when the battery is connected and not connected with the ignition off, then something is draining the battery over night, maybe a radio?
