Introduction
Simarine high precision SC302T / SC502T digital shunt is an innovative combination
of a shunt and a tank level module.
SC302T / SC502T active combo shunt precisely monitors battery voltage on 12V,
24V, 48V, 60V and 72V systems, battery temperature and continuous currents up
to 300A (400A peak). It’s suitable for a maximal power of 3600W at 12V or 7200W
at 24V. It is equipped with one additional battery voltage input (2 in total).
The integrated tank level module has 2 resistance-type inputs for tank level
monitoring and temperature sensors.
Additionally, the SC302T / SC502T module can also be used for monitoring current
draw of heavy consumers like inverters, bow and stern thrusters, anchor winches
and current generated on generators like shore power chargers, solar panels,
hydro- and wind generators.
SC302T / SC502T innovative protected architecture allows wiring in either negative
(up to 72V) or positive (up to 24V) side.
Safety
Installation of Simarine electronics should be made by electrical specialists with
proper safety equipment. When working with batteries you should wear protective
clothing and eye protection.
CAUTION: Batteries contain acid, a corrosive, colorless liquid that will burn your
eyes, skin and clothing. Should the acid come in contact with eyes, skin or clothing,
wash it immediately with soap under fresh water for at least 15 minutes, and seek
medical support immediately.
CAUTION: Do NOT connect anything to a damaged battery. It could heat up, catch
fire or explode.
CAUTION: Lead-acid batteries can generate explosive gases during operation.
Never smoke, allow flames or sparks near the battery. Make sure to keep sufficient
ventilation around the battery.
CAUTION: When working with a battery, remove all personal metal items like
watches, rings, necklaces and bracelets. Metal items in contact with the battery
terminals might cause a short circuit with a very high electric current, which may
heat up and melt nearby objects and cause severe burns.
