Connecting
For proper function of Simarine SC302T / SC502T digital shunt it is necessary to take
the following steps:
1.
Disconnect the battery / battery bank plus and minus terminal, for safety
reasons.
2.
Connect the shunt to Simarine PICO via one of the SiCOM ports to a
Splitter or any other Simarine product in the network.
3.
Connect the shunt voltage sensing input to a battery terminal.
4.
Connect a temperature sensor to the resistance input on the shunt and
place it near the battery / battery bank (optional)
5.
Connect a tank sensor to the resistance or voltage input, depending on the
sensor type (optional)
6.
Connect battery / battery bank minus or plus terminal through the shunt’s
IN terminal.
7.
Connect all consumers and charging sources to the OUT terminal on the
shunt.
Each correctly connected shunt needs to be configured. This is done via PICO in an
easy way. The configuration process is described in PICO’s manual.
!
Although the shunt can be connected in the positive or the negative line, it
is recommended that the shunt is installed in the negative line if possible.
!
After connecting the shunt, make sure that all the connections between
cables and shunt are tight. Loose connections may cause sparks, heating and
even a fire. It may also damage the shunt.
