Using the kit
Make sure you connect your Xantrex Battery Monitor exactly as shown in the wiring diagram below. The wire colors in your installation must correspond with
the same functions as in this wiring diagram.
1.
Determine the right cable length and shorten it when neccesary. Remove the cable sheath on both sides to free the 6 colored wires. The pink wire can be
omitted or used as stated in note 1.
2.
On the battery system side, use the red male 'bullet' crimp terminals for the brown and white wires, the M5 ring crimp terminals for the green and yellow
wires and the M10 ring crimp terminal for the grey wire.
3.
Connect the dual inline fuseholder to the battery '+' terminal.
4.
Connect the green and yellow wires to the small shunt screws according to the wiring diagram below. Wrong connection of these wires will cause huge
readout errors due to current polarity change. Make sure these green and yellow wires stay twisted together up to the shunt. Connect the grey wire to the
large load side shunt screw. Do not insert the white and brown wire bullet terminals into the blue fuseholder terminals yet.
5.
Make the connections on the battery monitor side according to the wiring diagram below. To avoid mechanical damage, do not overtighten the small
terminal block screws.
6.
When all connections are made and checked, the white and brown wire bullet terminals must be inserted into the two blue female fuseholder terminals.
Insert the white wire first, followed by the brown wire. Your battery monitor system is now ready for operation.

Note 1: Excess pink wire can be used in parallel with the grey wire.
This improves battery voltage readout accuracy.
Note 2: Avoid running the cable from the battery monitor to the
battery system along with mains cables over long distances or near
large relays or generators/motors.
Note 3: The connection cable sheath is made from 70 °C flame-
retardant PVC compound according to VDE0472 part 804
