Has anyone contacted a smart shunt after the Orion Tr smart as a DC meter to show the charge from the Orion?
How dit you connected the shunt?
Can I connect it on the negative busbar before the Orions and the + on the Orion?
Uppdate…
I connect the shunt at the blue x on the picture.
But it shows the wrong values… just about 1/4 of the watts that the dc-dc chargers shows…?
Do I need to connect the negative wire marked with a purple arrow on to the shunt to?
See pdf to see full system…
Ones again…
I want to use the shunt as a DC meter to see the change values of the two Orions…
The blue cross is only the balancing current because the input current and output current are different due to voltage boost and efficiency losses.,
You need to connect the shunt in the negative lead between the starter and house battery. The purple arrow shows the correct location for the shunt as this is the current going to the house battery, you fo not need one at the blue cross. Also, on the larger diagram the snippet is taken from, the purple arrow is between the starter battery and starter, the shunt should be in the cable between the starter and house battery.
