2. Remove fuse from PHI Battery supply cable.

3. Connect positive supply cable and appropriately sized PHI Battery positive cable to positive output of

PHI Battery bank and to the positive of the load/charger.

4. From the “load and charger” side of the shunt, connect appropriately sized negative cable to the

inverter or load/charger.

5. Connect positive supply cable to +B1 on the shunt.

6. Locate suitable place for the Victron meter and secure in place.

7. Connect UTP cable to rear of battery monitor.

8. Connect free end of UTP cable to battery shunt.

9. Connect appropriately sized negative cable between the “battery only” side of the shunt and the
