Deltec™ Shunt
WARNING: BEFORE WIRING THE SHUNT TO THE BATTERIES,
SWITCH THE DC DISCONNECT TO OFF AND/OR REMOVE
THE DC FUSE.
Mounting/Wiring the Shunt
The shunt connects between the inverter and batteries in the
negative (–) line (Figure 2-10).
Mount the shunt on or near the battery enclosure close to the negative
(–) battery terminal. Use appropriate screws to secure the shunt to the
battery enclosure.
Disconnect the NEGATIVE cable (that connects between the inverter
and battery) from the battery’s negative (–) terminal.
Connect the free end of the negative cable to the shunt’s terminal
labeled “INVERTER.” Ensure all connections are tight.
Connect a short length of cable (same gauge) between the battery’s
negative(–) terminal and the shunt’s terminal labeled “BAT MINUS.”
Ensure all connections are tight.
Connect the cables and hardware to the shunt as shown in Figure 2-7.
NOTE: The cable connection must be flat against the shunt block
with nothing between it for a good connection.
