Placing a fuse inside

By default the MasterShunt 500 is equipped with a busbar inside. If the MasterShunt 500 is installed close to the battery, this
busbar may be replaced by either an ANL type or Class T main fuse (500A), saving both space and cost. Another option is to
place a fuse elsewhere in the system.
Note: Always have the selected fuse checked by qualified personnel to prevent any unnecessary fuse melts when going fully
operational.
Execute the following procedure to replace the busbar by a fuse:
Step 1. Disconnect the electrical power:
Step 2. Remove the two transparent covers.
Step 3. Unlock and remove upper casing.
