UP
Up to three shunts can be connected to the battery monitor. They are all
connected to each other via the communication line (called “LIN” for
LIN-Bus line). In order for the communication with the individual shunts
to work, each shunt connected must have a different identification
number (called “ID”) : #1, #2 or #3.
Each shunt has a unique serial number (SN). This serial number is printed
on the label.
An ID must be set before first use. If more than one shunt is used, it is mandatory
to start the ID process with only one shunt supplied before adding other shunts.
After applying the supply voltage at pin (+1), the shunt starts operating and indicates the operating status via the
integrated Led :
