Page 5: Safety Precautions
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 1. Safety precautions 1.1. General safety precautions Read this manual carefully. It contains important instructions that must be followed during installation, operation and maintenance. Save these instructions for future reference on operation and maintenance. 1.2. Battery safety warnings Working in the vicinity of a lead acid battery is dangerous. -
Page 6: Introduction
2.1. The battery monitor The SmartShunt IP65 is a battery monitor. It measures battery voltage and current. Based on these measurements, it calculates the battery's state of charge and the time to go. It also keeps track of historical data, such as deepest discharge, average discharge and the number of charge and discharge cycles. -
Page 7: Accessories
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 2.5. Accessories These optional parts might be needed depending on your setup: • Temperature sensor for BMV - to measure the battery temperature. • GX Device, such as a Cerbo GX - for system and/or remote monitoring. -

Page 12: Configuration
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 4. Configuration Once the electrical connections have been made, and the battery monitor has been powered up, it needs to be configured to be suitable for the system it is used in. This chapter describes how to configure the battery monitor by making the basic settings. See the... -
Page 13: Update Firmware
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 4.2. Update firmware On a new install, it is recommended to update the firmware of the battery monitor. If there is a newer firmware version available, the VictronConnect app will notify you of this as soon as a connection with the battery monitor is made. -
Page 14: Set State Of Charge
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 4.3.3. Set state of charge In the VictronConnect app, see: Settings > Battery > Battery start synchronized. When set to ON, the battery monitor will consider itself synchronized when powered up, resulting in a state of charge of 100%. -
Page 15: Configure For Use As Dc Meter
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 Important warning Lithium batteries are expensive and can be irreparably damaged due to very deep discharge or overcharge. Damage due to deep discharge can occur if small loads slowly discharge the battery when the system is not in use. -
Page 16: Operation
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 5. Operation 5.1. How does the battery monitor work? The main function of the battery monitor is to follow and indicate the state of charge of a battery, to be able to know how much charge the battery contains and to prevent an unexpected total discharge. -
Page 17: Led Status Codes
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 as it is a momentary readout and should be used as a guideline only. We recommend the use of the state of charge readout for accurate battery monitoring. If the “Time remaining” indicates three dashes: “---” this means that the battery monitor is in an unsynchronised state. This occurs when the battery monitor has just been installed or after it has been left unpowered and is powered up again. -
Page 18: History
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 VictronConnect app battery monitor trends. 5.5. History The battery monitor stores historic events. These can be used at a later date to evaluate usage patterns and battery health. The history data is stored in a non-volatile memory and will not be lost when the power supply to the battery monitor has been interrupted or when the battery monitor has been reset to its defaults. -

Page 20: Synchronising The Battery Monitor
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 5.7. Synchronising the battery monitor For a reliable readout, the state of charge, as displayed by the battery monitor, must self-synchronise regularly with the true state of charge of the battery. This is to prevent drift of the “State of charge” value over time. A synchronisation will reset the state of charge of the battery to 100%. - Page 21 Manual - SmartShunt IP65 VictronConnect app status screen of a battery monitor running in DC monitor mode. Note that the wiring of a DC meter differs from battery monitor wiring, see the Wiring for use as DC meter [7] chapter on how to wire. When switching between modes, it is recommended to reset all historical data.

Page 27: Current Threshold
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 Setting Default setting Range Step size Charge efficiency factor 50 - 100% 7.2.8. Current threshold When the current measured falls below the “Current threshold” parameter it will be considered zero. The “Current threshold” is used to cancel out very small currents that can negatively affect the long-term state of charge readout in noisy environments. For example, if the actual long-term current is 0.0A and, due to injected noise or small offsets, the battery monitor measures 0.05A... -
Page 28: Zero Current Calibration
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 7.2.13. Zero current calibration This option can be used to calibrate the zero reading if the battery monitor reads a non-zero current even when there is no load and the battery is not being charged. A zero current calibration is (almost) never needed. Only perform this procedure in case the battery monitor shows a current while you are absolutely sure that there is no actual current flowing. -

Page 34: Battery Capacity And Peukert Exponent
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 8. Battery capacity and Peukert exponent Battery capacity is expressed in Amp hour (Ah) and indicates how much current a battery can supply over time. For example, if a 100Ah battery is being discharged with a constant current of 5A, the battery will be totally discharged in 20 hours. - Page 35 Manual - SmartShunt IP65 Calculation example using the 5h and the 20h rating The C5 rating is 75Ah. The t1 rating is 5h and I1 is calculated: The C20 rating is 100Ah. The t2 rating is 20h and I2 is calculated:...

Page 36: Midpoint Voltage Monitoring
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 9. Midpoint voltage monitoring One bad cell or one bad battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank. A short circuit or high internal leakage current in one cell for example will result in undercharge of that cell and overcharge of the other cells. -
Page 37: Connecting And Monitoring Midpoint In A 48V Battery Bank
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 GOOD: The midpoints are not connected; busbars are used but without midpoint monitoring. GOOD: The midpoints are connected, with busbars and midpoint monitoring. Always use busbars when applying midpoint voltage monitoring. The cables to the busbars must all have the same length. -
Page 38: Midpoint Deviation Calculation
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 Midpoints can only be connected if corrective action is taken in case of an alarm. 9.2. Midpoint deviation calculation The battery monitor measures the midpoint and then calculates the deviation in a percentage from what the midpoint should be. -
Page 39: What To Do In Case Of An Alarm During Discharging
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 • In case of series/parallel connection disconnect the midpoint, parallel connection wiring and measure the individual midpoint voltages during absorption charging to isolate batteries or cells which need additional charging. • Charge and then test all batteries or cells individually. -
Page 40: Troubleshooting
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 10. Troubleshooting 10.1. Functionality issues 10.1.1. Unit is dead On first connection the blue LED on the SmartShunt should be blinking. If this is not the case check the fuse in the VBatt+ cable and also check the cable itself and its terminals. -
Page 41: Pin Code Lost
Manual - SmartShunt IP65 • The shunt and the electric cables do negatively influence the range of the Bluetooth signal. The resulting range of 10-15 meters is however satisfactory in most cases. The proximity of other electrically conducting elements, such as the metal chassis of a vehicle or seawater around the hull of a boat, may reduce the range of the Bluetooth signal to an unacceptable level. -
