Although the SmartShunt uses watertight connectors for the SmartLink
cable, the overall design is not waterproof. The SmartShunt must be
installed in a dry location. The Display is IP65 rated from the front
when installed properly, but is NOT watertight from the rear to allow for
condensation to exit the Display.
NOTE: Should the LCD need cleaning, it can be done with water
and a clean cloth. No chemicals of any type should be used
The SmartShunt is installed in-line with the negative battery cable of the
battery system or bank that you wish to monitor. If you are designing a new
system, refer to a wire size chart to determine the correct size cable to use
in the installation. The cables should be sized for the lowest percentage
voltage drop that is practical, and should not exceed 3%.
NOTE: Do not install any positive voltage-carrying wires to the
SmartShunt studs - ONLY negative cables. The SmartShunt
will not work on the positive side of an installation.
The SmartShunt should be located as close to the battery as possible,
preferably within 12”. The SG200 uses the SmartShunt to measure current,
or how many amperes are going into or out of the battery. Because of
this, you must ensure that no loads (like a bilge pump) or sources (like
an inverter) are connected directly to the battery. ALL loads and sources
MUST terminate their negative connection at or before the “CABLE” end of
the SmartShunt. If there are multiple connections to be made, a buss bar
can be installed directly prior to the SmartShunt.
NOTE: If you have a shore-power charger, inverter or inverter-
charger, they may have both a Positive and Negative cable
directly connected to the battery. The positive cable can
stay, but the negative cable must be moved to a position
at or before the “CABLE” stud on the SmartShunt.
