CAUTION: Failure to observe the required cable cross-sections can damage the
shunt, wiring, or cause a fire.
5. Connecting
For proper function of the Simarine SC3O3/SC5O3 digital shunt it is necessary
to take the following steps:
1. For safety reasons, disconnect the battery/battery bank plus and minus
terminals.
2. Connect the shunt to the Simarine PICO via the SiCOM port.
3. Connect shunt voltage sensing input to a battery terminal.
4. Connect the temperature sensor to the shunt and place it near the
battery/battery bank (optional).
5. Connect the battery/battery bank minus or plus terminals through the shunt
IN terminal.
6. Connect all consumers and charging sources to the OUT terminal on the
shunt.
Each correctly connected shunt needs to be configured. This can easily be done
with the PICO unit. The configuration process is described in the PICO manual.
·
The PICO manual & other user manuals:
It is recommended that the shunt is installed in the negative line if possible.
CAUTION: After connecting the shunt, make sure all connections between cables
and shunt are secured. Loose connections may cause sparks, heating and even a
fire. They may also damage the shunt.
