Connection procedure:
1. Connect the negative battery terminal to the M10 bolt on the "BATTERY MINUS" side of the shunt. Tighten the shunt bolt with
a maximum torque of 21Nm.
Note that there should be no other connections on this side of the shunt or on the negative battery terminal. Any loads or
chargers connected here will be excluded from the battery state of charge calculation.
2. Connect the negative of the electrical system to the M10 bolt on the "LOAD MINUS" side of the shunt. Tighten the shunt bolt
with a maximum torque of 21Nm. Make sure that the negative of all DC loads, inverters, battery chargers, solar chargers and
other charge sources are connected “after” the shunt.
3. Connect the M10 eye terminal of the red cable with the fuse to the positive terminal of the battery.
The battery monitor is now powered up. .
