Installation

Included in the Box

The following parts are included in the standard SG200 System Kit.

(1) SmartShunt, with 60" fused positive-lead wire.

(1) Color Display

(1) Display mounting bracket and nut

(1) 10m SmartLink Cable

(1) SmartLink Deutsch-style connector kit, with a connector and

wedgelock.

(1) Fuse for positive wire

(1) This manual

Not Included in the Box

1. Mounting fasteners for the SmartShunt. These should be #8 sized cap-

head bolts or screws, depending on the mounting surface.

2. Additional fuse assemblies for the Aux-1 and Aux-2 voltage leads. ABYC

rules specify that circuit protection (fuses) should be located within 6" of the

power source

3. Additional battery cable.

The SmartShunt should be mounted to a firm surface in a dry location. All

cables need to be sized for the maximum current flow. Undersized cables can

present a fire hazard and adversely affect the performance of the SmartShunt.

Tools needed:

•

9/16" wrench or socket and wrench.

•

Any tools required for owner-supplied mounting fasteners.

•

2.0625", or 53mm hole saw suitable for the mounting surface, if a

suitable a display hole does not already exist.

Installing the SmartShunt and Display

CAUTION: High currents may be carried by the battery cables

attached to the SmartShunt. If you are unsure of any part of the

installation, refer to a qualified installer for their assistance.

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 a few feet (1 meter). 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.

NOTE: The SG200 needs to be powered continuously to correctly

function. While disconnecting for an extended layup period is

advisable, disconnecting over short periods of time between

usage will lead to incorrect SoC and SoH readings.
