7 PARALLEL USE
For load currents which exceed 300A continuous
current, more than one MasterShunt can be installed
to monitor the same battery (bank). The
MasterShunts are then configured in parallel to the
battery, like shown. Figure 13 shows the parallel
configuration of two MasterShunts (3) and (4) and
other products.

For parallel setup of two MasterShunts, follow next
steps:
• Reset both Mastershunts to factory settings;
• During First start up select Advanced mode/
Parallel mode on one of the MasterShunts.
• Enter the serial number(s) of the other
MasterShunt(s), refer to figure 14. These
MasterShunt(s) will be the slave(s).
The measurements of all parallelled MasterShunts
are combined and shown as one MasterShunt.
The currents however are shown separately, see
figure 16. This means, renaming the MasterShunts
can be convenient (see figure 15).
