Mounting and Cabling the Shunt
To mount and cable the shunt:
1. Screw the shunt to a suitable mounting surface.
2. Connect the shunt to the negative terminal of the battery
using ring terminals or locked spade terminals on a
copper cable that is sized appropriately for the current
carrying capacity of the system.
Ensure that no other wires are connected directly to the
negative battery terminal or to the negative side of the
shunt. All current must flow through the shunt.
3. Connect the load side of the shunt to the negative bus for
DC loads using a copper cable that is sized appropriately
for the current carrying capacity of the system.
If you are not using a negative bus for DC loads, connect
the load side of the shunt to the negative side of the
system.
