Solar System; Smart Shunt - Airstream Interstate 24X Owner's Manual

Interior

Solar System

The Interstate 24X is equipped with 300 watts of
solar, a charge controller, and display� Ensuring the
panels are clean and not shaded by trees or other
interference, will promote maximum solar charging�
The charge controller gathers energy from the solar
panels to charge the house batteries, helping to
maintain battery health and extending battery life�
The touring coach is also equipped with a dedicated
solar panel and charge controller to help keep the
chassis battery charged� The solar panel and charge
controller will not charge the chassis battery if it has
fallen below 11�5 volts, or if the chassis battery has
been damaged�
NOTE
The chassis solar panel and charge controller are
designed to maintain the chassis battery and help
prevent it from depleting; they are not designed
to charge a dead battery. If the chassis battery is
below 11.5 volts it will need to be charged by other
means.

Smart Shunt

The touring coach is equipped with a Smart Shunt,
used to determine the state of charge (SOC) of the
house batteries� SOC is a more accurate means of
determining the percentage left of the lithium batteries�
The shunt is located under the curbside seat, near the
inverter/charger� The Smart Shunt and it's associated
VictronConnect app, allows for the monitoring of
the house batteries from a connected device� The
VictronConnect app is free to download, and is
available for Apple and Android devices�
The Interstate 24X also includes 2 exterior solar ports�
These ports run through the same solar controller as
the roof mounted solar panels, see Section 6 - Exterior
for more information�
