Table 23 Shunt Monitors Configuration
Defaults
The controller is factory configured with:
ID1 Type: Battery Shunt: 300A
ID2 Type: None Shunt: 300A
ID3 Type: None Shunt: 600A
ID4 Type: None Shunt: 600A
ID5 Type: None Shunt: 600A
ID6 Type: None Shunt: 600A
ID7 Type: None Shunt: 600A
ID8 Type: None Shunt: 600A
IDs defined as None will have no currents displayed and shunt configuration has no affect.
Note: Depending on the system and controller configuration for that system the values of the total load
current (I
load
) are calculated differently. The following table describes the different calculations for total
load current.
All Loads Monitored
When Enabled, the All Load Monitor feature automatically links all Shunt
Monitors configured as “Load” monitors to the system total load. This feature is
operational only when the Plant Shunt Type is configured as NONE.
The factory default is Disabled.

Battery
Shunt input is connected to a centralized
battery shunt located in the system. All
battery current flows through this shunt
to and from the system batteries. System
may or may not have Shunt Monitors
configured. Controller reports the following:
I
Load
= Σ I
Rect
+ I
plantshunt
I
battery
= I
plantshunt
Where I
plantshunt
is negative for current into the
battery and positive for current out of the
battery.
If there are shunt monitor cards also installed:
1. Cards configured as monitoring a “Load”
shunt do not affect the total I
Load
but have
their values individually displayed.
2. Cards configured as monitoring a “Battery”
shunt do not contribute to total battery
current ( I
battery
) but have their values
individually displayed.
All battery management functions remain
available.
