5. After completing the setup wizard, set the proper shunt current and shunt voltage according to the

Shunt current [32]

and the

Shunt voltage [32]

settings.

6. If the battery monitor reads a non-zero current, even when there is no load, and the battery is not being charged, calibrate the

zero current reading using the

Zero current calibration [26]

setting.

3.8. GX device connection

If the system contains a GX device such as a

, the battery monitor can be connected to the GX device using a

VE.Direct cable

VE.Direct to USB interface

.

Once connected, the GX device can be used to read out all monitored battery parameters. For more information see chapter

Connecting to a GX device and the VRM portal [21]
