Average Shunt Amps

This meter displays the averaged current flowing through the internal shunt to and from the batteries. The inverter/charger must be wired correctly for the internal shunt to work (see the RV Series Inverter/Charger Owner’s Manual for more information). If more than one inverter/charger is used, an external shunt connected in the main line between the battery negative and the green inverter chassis ground terminal is required.

Avg Shunt Amps: +/- 0 Amps DC

Battery Voltage

This meter displays the current battery voltage level. Use this meter to check the condition of the batteries or monitor the levels under load.

Battery:

00.0 Volts DC
