Page 1 Rev: 00 1 2 3 4 5  Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. Batteries can generate explosive gases during operation. Never smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of a battery. Provide sufficient ventilation around the battery.  Wear eye and clothing protection. Avoid touching eyes while working near batteries. Wash your hands when done.  If battery acid contacts skin or clothing, wash them immediately with soap and water. If acid enters an eye, immediately flood the eye with running cold water for at least 15 minutes and get medical attention immediately.  Be careful when using metal tools in the vicinity of batteries. Dropping a metal tool onto a battery might cause a short circuit and possibly an explosion.  Remove personal metal items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces, and watches when working with a battery. A battery can produce a short circuit current high enough to melt objects such as rings, causing severe burns.  Connect the negative battery terminal to the SmartShunt BATTERY MINUS terminal  Connect the negative DC electrical system terminal to the SmartShunt LOAD MINUS terminal  Connect the power cable between the positive battery terminal and the SmartShunt Vbatt+ terminal  SmartShunt  Two power cables  The full manual is available online Battery safety warnings SmartShunt Quick installation guide DC Loads Introduction Connect battery negative Connect power cable Connect DC load negative DC Loads DC Loads www.victronenergy.com. au/battery-monitors/ smart-battery-shunt SmartShunt manual: SmartShunt Quick installation guide Page 2 Rev: 00 6 7 8 9 10 11  Connect the power cable between the positive terminal of the second battery and the SmartShunt Aux terminal  Connect the negative of both batteries together Monitoring voltage of a second battery Monitoring midpoint of a battery bank Monitoring battery temperature Make essential VictronConnect settings Connecting to a GX device Download and connect VictronConnect  Connect the power cable between the battery bank midpoint and the SmartShunt Aux terminal  Connect the (not included) temperature sensor ASS000100000 to the positive battery terminal  Connect the red wire to the Vbatt+ terminal  Connect the black wire to the Aux terminal  Download VictronConnect  Connect to the SmartShunt DC Loads Optional Optional Optional Optional  Connect the (not included) VE.Direct cable ASS03053xxxx between the VE.Direct ports of the SmartShunt and the GX device  Set the battery capacity  Set the functionality of the auxiliary input (if used)  Set the charged voltage parameter: Additional settings for lithium batteries:  Set the charge efficiency at 99%  Set the Peukert exponent at 1.05 DC Loads DC Loads DC Loads www.victronenergy.com/ live/victronconnect:start VictronConnect manual: DC Loads https://ve3.nl/Venus-OS:start Victron GX product range:
