BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION:
Ensure that no metal tool can cause a short circuit. Removing all jewellery such as rings or
necklaces prior to any electrical work is considered best practice. If you believe you may not be
sufficiently skilled to undertake this installation safely, please seek the assistance of an installer/
electrician who is aware of regulations for working with batteries.
•
Please strictly follow the order of connections given below.
•
Use a fuse of the correct value as shown in the following diagram.
INSTALLATION
1.
Determine a mounting location and mount the shunt. The shunt should be installed in a dry
and clean place.
2.
Remove all loads and charging sources from the battery before any other steps are taken. This
is often accomplished by turning off a battery switch. If there are loads or chargers directly
attached to the battery, they should be disconnected as well.
3.
Serial connect the shunt and the negative terminal of the battery (the blue wires shown on the
wiring drawing).
4.
Connect B+ of the shunt to the positive terminal of the battery with a AGW22/18 wire (0.3 to
0.8mm
²
).
5.
Connect the positive load to the positive terminal of the battery (using a fuse is highly
recommended).
6.
Connect the positive charger terminal to the positive terminal of the battery.
7.
Connect the display to the shunt with the shielded wire
.
8.
Double check all the connections with the above diagram before turning on the battery switch.
At this point the display will power up, and be
operational in a few seconds.
The A016
’
s display comes with a buckled enclosure.
A 57*94mm
’
s rectangular slot needs to be cut for
fitting.

DISPLAY AND CONTROL PANEL
The display shows the state

Remaining capacity percentage
: This shows the percentage of the actual full
-
charge capacity of
the battery. 0% indicates empty while 100% means full.
Remaining capacity in Amp
-
hours
: The remaining capacity of the battery.
Real voltage
: Displays of the real voltage level of the battery.
Real current
: The current display informs of the current load or charge of the battery. The display
shows the instantaneously measured current rate flowing out of the battery. If the current flows
into the battery, the display will show a positive current value. If the current flows out of the
battery, it is negative, and the value will be shown with a preceding negative symbol (i.e
-
4.0).
Real power
: The power rate being consumed whilst discharging or supplied whilst charging.
Time
-
to
-
go:
Shows an estimate of how long the battery will sustain a load. Indicates the time
remaining until battery is completely discharged when the battery is discharging. The remaining
time will be calculated from the residual capacity and the real current.
Battery symbol
: When the battery is being charged it will cycle to show it is filling. When the
battery is full the symbol will be shaded.
