Installation and Wiring-Overview

The RS-BM500 shunt should be mounted as close to the battery as possible, and the remote display is intended to be mounted on a wall.

Recommended Tools

  • Wrench
  • Drill
  • Jigsaw
  • 2 ring terminals of appropriate size for battery cable
  • Crimp tool for ring terminals

Installation

  1. Before doing anything, disconnect all wires from the negative side of the battery.
  2. Cut the negative cable for the battery and crimp on new ring terminals. Alternatively, use a new wire of appropriate gauge to carry the full current demand of your system.
  3. Install the shunt as shown in the wiring diagram above. (Note: The negative terminal of the battery must connect directly to the “B-" side of the shunt, and there should be no other connections to the negative terminal of the battery for accurate measurements.)
  4. Use the B+ wire included in the package to connect the B+ terminal of the shunt to the positive side of the battery. (Note: Do not stack smaller terminals under large ones.)
  5. Connect the shunt to the remote display using the included shielded cable.

Mounting the Remote Display

  1. Plan the location of your remote display and keep in mind there is a cable that needs to route all the way to the shunt. 
  2. Drill a hole in the center of the planned location and use the jigsaw to cut a hole according to the following picture.
  3. Connect the shielded cable to the shunt and route it such that you can bring it through the hole.
  4. Connect the shielded cable to the remote and snap the remote into place.

Basic Setup

  1. Before doing anything, disconnect all wires from the negative side of the battery.
  2. Cut the negative cable for the battery and crimp on new ring terminals. Alternatively, use a new wire of appropriate gauge to carry the full current demand of your system.
  3. Install the shunt as shown in the wiring diagram above. Note: The negative terminal of the battery must connect directly to the “B-" side of the shunt, and there should be no other connections to the negative terminal of the battery for accurate measurements.

Frequently-Asked Questions

Can this monitor work with lithium batteries?

Yes. It works with LiFePO4, AGM, GEL, and flooded batteries—as long as the system voltage is between 8V and 120V.

Does it require calibration?

No. The unit is factory-calibrated and ready to use out of the box with the included shunt.

How do I connect it to my battery bank?

Connect the shunt between the battery negative terminal and system load. The monitor plugs into the shunt using the included cables.

Can it store energy usage data?

Yes. It tracks energy usage over time (Ah and Wh), helping you monitor trends and optimize power use.
