That is correct.

The purple wire has power when the key switch in ON.

Matt,

One more thing if you want the voltmeter lighted.
Attach a blue wire from your light switch (or from another lighted gauge) to the voltmeter if you want the voltmeter lighted when you turn on your navigation light switch.
