To Install a Shunt or Shunts:
Up to three shunts may be installed for the use of a battery monitor such as the
FLEXnet DC. Perform the following steps before step 5 on page 2.
1. Remove the negative bus bar and cables from the left side of the rack (see right).
Unbolt the individual cables from the bus bar.
2. Three pairs of holes are located in the area where the bus bar is mounted (below,
left). A shunt can be placed over each set of holes. Each shunt has twin screws
(below, center) which can be used for mounting.
3. Reinstall the negative bus bar so that it mounts across the inner terminal of each
shunt (below, right). Each negative battery cable must not be bolted to the bus bar,
but should connect to the outer terminal of each shunt. However, the load cable
must connect to the negative bus bar.
4. The battery monitor’s voltage sensing wires must connect to the bus bars (positive
and negative), not the batteries.
