Manual synchronisation

The SmartShunt can be synchronised manually if required. This can be achieved by pressing the synchronise
button in the VictronConnect battery settings.
A manual synchronisation can be needed in situations when the SmartShunt does not synchronise automatically.
This is for example needed on first install or after the voltage supply to the SmartShunt has been interrupted.
A manual synchronisation can also be needed when the battery has not been fully charged, or if the SmartShunt
has not detected that the battery has been fully charged because the charged voltage, current or time have been
set incorrectly. In this case review the settings and make sure the battery regularly receives a full charge.

5.4 Alarms

The SmartShunt can raise an alarm on low state of charge, low or high battery voltages readings, low or high
temperature readings or a certain midpoint deviation. The alarm will activate
when the value reaches a set threshold and will deactivate once when the value
clears this threshold.
The alarm is a software alarm. When connecting with the VictronConnect App
and an alarm is active, the alarm will show in the App. Or, alternatively, when the
SmartShunt is connected to a GX device the alarm will show up on the GX device
or on VRM.
In case of VictronConnect an alarm is acknowledged when a button is pressed.
And in a GX device an alarm is acknowledged when viewed in notifications.
However, the alarm icon is displayed as long as the alarm condition remains.
Please note that unlike the BMV battery monitor range, the SmartShunt does not
have an alarm relay or buzzer. In case a relay function is needed, connect the
SmartShunt to a GX device and use the relay in the GX device with SmartShunt
functionality.

5.5 History data

The SmartShunt stores historic events. These can be used at a later date to evaluate
usage patterns and battery health. The history can be accessed in the "History" tab in
VictronConnect.
The history data is stored in a non-volatile memory and will not be lost when the
power supply to the SmartShunt has been interrupted or when the SmartShunt has
been reset to its defaults.
Discharge information in Ah
Deepest discharge: The SmartShunt remembers the deepest discharge and each
•
time the battery is discharged deeper the old value will be overwritten.
Last discharge: The SmartShunt keeps track of the discharge during the current
•
cycle and displays the largest value recorded for Ah consumed since the last
synchronisation.
Average discharge: The cumulative Ah drawn divided by the total number of
•
cycles.
Cumulative Ah drawn - The cumulative number of Amp hours drawn from the
•
battery over the lifetime of the SmartShunt.
Energy in kWh
Discharged energy: This is the total amount of energy drawn from the battery in
•
(k)Wh.
• Charged energy: The total amount of energy absorbed by the battery in (k)Wh.
Charge
Total charge cycles: The number of charge cycles over the lifetime of the SmartShunt. A charge cycle is
•
counted every time the state of charge drops below 65% and then rises above 90%.
