Installation Guide

Shunt Wiring

Proper wiring of the SC303 shunt is crucial for accurate monitoring. Follow these guidelines:

• If the system voltage does not exceed 35V, the shunt can be wired to either the LOW (-) or HIGH (+) side.
• If the system voltage exceeds 35V, the shunt must be wired to the LOW (-) side.
• This wiring flexibility is convenient for retrofitting into existing boats, campervans, trailers, and RVs.

For detailed wiring diagrams and mounting instructions, refer to the included Quick Guide and mounting template.
