I would also like to measure the performance of my direct current generator and display it in the VRM portal.
With version 3.50-13 it only shows the calculated DC power you described (the DC system is on) only in the GUI Beta V2, not in the console and not in the VRM portal.
Is there a reason for that?`
I have the DC generator ks-48v-dc. https://shop.koenner-soehnen.com/products/generator-ks-48v-dc
Which Smartshunt can I use to measure the DC power? Is the version with 500A sufficient here?
Where is the best place to install this?
Between the generator and Lynx on the negative pole? Black cable?
What do I have to configure in Cerbo so that the actually measured values ​​are displayed in the VRM portal?
All DC sources and loads are to be placed on the bus after the battery monitor’s shunt. That is, the battery connects to the battery monitor then EVERYTHING else connects to the load/system side of the shunt.
A shunt to measure DC loads connect between the load distribution panel and the DC bus with the “battery” side of the shunt connected to the bus.
The same would be true for a shunt to measure your DC generator. GUI v1 does not show a tile for a DC generator but I’ve seen discussions about adding this for gui-v2. The only thing that’s factored in for GUI- v1 is alternator and you need to install GuiMods to show that tile.
The 500A SmartShunt will be suitable. The Smartshunt will need to be set up a DC Energy Meter. Details are in the manual. As noted above, the new shunt goes in the negative wire from your generator between the generator and the negative bus and before any other shunt on the battery.
