Instruction Manual

Green 9 terminal plug to PentaMetric input unit.
"VOLTS 1" To Battery plus terminal.
This must be connected in order to
supply power to meter. Nominal battery
voltage from 12-48. Max volts=65V.
To Battery minus
terminal
"VOLTS 2" To second battery or voltage
measurement. (The meter takes no power
from this terminal). Does not need to be
connected unless "watts 2" , "watt-hr 2" or
"volts 2" is used.
"SHUNT 1": Connect these two to
battery shunt (or other shunt). The
+ terminal goes to the (little) Kelvin
terminal electrically closest to the
battery negative. The - terminal
goes to the Kelvin terminal
electrically farthest from the
battery negative.
1. Decide how many shunts you need to measure( from 1 to 3) . If less than 3, connect all shunt terminals that will remain
unused (from 4-9 above) to terminal 1 shown above (to battery minus terminals) using a wire jumper.
2. Connect wires from battery and shunts to the 9 pin connector as shown here.
3 Then re check the connections--especially that the one to the plus terminal of the battery system (second from left
shown above). All unused shunt terminals should be connected together, and then to terminal 1.

SHUNT 3: Connect these two to a shunt
that measures charging source or load
(not usually a battery shunt) . Connect
+ and - as same as described for
terminals 4-5.
"SHUNT 2": Connect these
two to second battery shunt
(or charging or load shunt).
Connect + and - as same as
described for terminals 4-5.
