3. Pemasangan
3.1 Battery Monitor and Shunt Installation
The battery monitor and shunt are designed for straightforward installation. The shunt should be connected in series with the negative circuit of your battery system. The monitor display can be mounted on a flat surface using its integrated tabs.
- Mount the Shunt: Securely place or mount the shunt using the provided shunt holder. Ensure it is in a location with good ventilation.
- Wire the Shunt: Connect the negative terminal of your battery to the B- terminal of the shunt. Connect the P- terminal of the shunt to the negative input of your load/inverter. Penting: The shunt must be connected to the negative circuit only. Do NOT connect it to the positive circuit.
- Connect Monitor to Shunt: Use the shielded wire to connect the battery monitor display unit to the shunt.
- Pasang Paparan: Install the battery monitor display unit in a convenient location where it can be easily viewed.

3.2 Bus Bar Installation
The 300A Bus Bar facilitates organized power distribution. Follow these steps for installation:
- Remove Insulating Cover: Carefully remove the top insulating cover from the bus bar.
- Mount the Bus Bar (Optional): If desired, mount the bus bar to a secure surface using appropriate fasteners.
- Connect M8 Wire Lugs: Attach your M8 wire lugs to the terminal studs on the bus bar. Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
- Remove Removable Windows: If necessary, remove the removable windows on the insulating cover to accommodate larger cables or specific wiring configurations.
- Fix the Insulating Cover: Once all connections are made, replace the insulating cover to protect the terminals and reduce electric shock risk.
