3 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

3.1 Introduction

The MasterShunt 500 is a battery monitor that enables system automation and also provides power to the MasterBus network. The battery bank is monitored in the most accurate way by measuring the voltage and the (dis)charge current through a shunt. The extended information about the status of a battery bank includes voltage, current, State Of Charge (SOC) and indication of the time remaining.
The SOC is expressed as a percentage. This value is automatically compensated by the charge efficiency factor (C.E.F.) and the Peukert exponent. When the battery is fully charged, the SOC will be reset to 100%. A non Li-ion battery is considered to be fully charged if one of the following conditions is met.
1 Parameters below are met for at least 30 seconds:
All of the Ah's discharged are charged back into the battery (real counting without CEF). The actual charge current is less than the setting for charge amps for full battery but more than 0A.
2 For at least 4 hours the battery voltage is higher than the float voltage plus 1.0/2.0/4.0V (at nominal battery voltage
12/24/48V).
3 For at least 8 hours the battery voltage is higher than the float voltage plus 0.3/0.6/0.9V (at nominal battery voltage
12/24/48V).
4 For at least 12 hours the battery voltage is higher than the float voltage minus 0.1/0.2/0.3V (at nominal battery voltage
12/24/48V).
A display like the Touch 10 (in a CZone network) or the EasyView 5 (in a MasterBus network) can be used to show the battery information.

MasterShunt 500 Battery bank Charger Remote panel Network wiring with MasterBus
terminators at both ends
MasterBus USB Interface MasterBus cable
CAUTION!
Never connect a non-MasterBus device to the MasterBus network directly! This will void warranty of all MasterBus devices connected.
CAUTION! Leave the positive battery cable disconnected from the battery.
Points to consider:
˗ Up to 40 devices can be connected together on a single backbone. ˗ Make sure the CZone network has two terminating resistors, one at each open end of the backbone. ˗ The electric power for the network comes from a battery or power supply. Make sure that it delivers enough power and
is positioned as close to the middle of the backbone as possible to reduce voltage drop.
˗ The CZone/MB drop cable includes a diode to prevent power from the MasterShunt 500 getting on the CZone
backbone.
in a MasterBus network
Use an RJ45 MasterBus cable (not included) and daisy chain the MasterShunt 500 to the other MasterBus devices, forming a local data network.
Points to consider: ˗ Connections between the devices are made by standard straight MasterBus cables. Mastervolt can supply these
cables.
˗ Up to 63 MasterBus devices can be connected together. ˗ MasterBus needs a terminating device on both ends of the network. ˗ The electric power for the network comes from the connected devices according to the rule: 1 powering / 3 non-
powering. Spread the powering devices over the network
˗ Do not make ring networks. ˗ Do not make T-connections in the network.
For more details on networks, please contact your Mastervolt supplier.

4.3 Installation step-by-step

Step 1. Disconnect the electrical power.
Switch off all consumers;  Switch off all charging systems;  Disconnect the positive battery poles;  Check with a suitable voltmeter whether the entire DC installation is voltage free.
Step 2. Position the MasterShunt 500 close to the battery, between the battery and the load/charger.

4.5 Parallel use (MasterBus only)

For load currents which exceed 300A continuous current, more than one MasterShunt 500 can be installed to monitor the same battery (bank). The MasterShunt 500s are then configured in parallel to the battery. The following figure shows the parallel configuration of two MasterShunt 500s (3) and (4) and other products.
Figure 3 : Parallel system example
Note: When also using older versions of the MasterShunt 500 in parallel setup, make sure to select the new version
(7702011x) as master and the older version as slave.
For parallel setup of two MasterShunt 500s, execute the following steps:
1. First reset any pre-used MasterShunt 500s to factory settings.
2. During First start up select Advanced mode/ Parallel mode on one of the MasterShunt 500s, this will become the Master.
3. Select the serial number(s) of the other MasterShunt 500(s), Refer to Figure 1. These MasterShunt 500(s) will be the slave(s).
After pressing the “Complete” button, the measurements of all paralleled MasterShunt 500s are combined and shown as one MasterShunt 500. The currents however are shown separately! This means, renaming the MasterShunt 500s can be convenient.

5.1.3 Alarms

The MasterShunt 500 features six different alarm parameters which can be configured to custom chosen values. If the alarm conditions are met, i.e. the chosen value has been reached, the alarm function can trigger an action. For instance the alarm “Battery low” can trigger a generator to start and recharge the battery. The following table lists the available alarms.
Table 3: MasterShunt 500 alarm items

5.1.4 Monitoring

The MasterShunt 500 continuously monitors the battery's State of Charge (SOC). If the SOC drops below a pre-set value or the battery voltage is either too high or too low, the alarm function is activated. For alarm settings, automation and functions refer to sections 5.1.1, 5.1.2 and 5.1.3. The Monitoring menu is read-only.
Notes:
- At first start up and after a power reset, the MasterShunt 500 shows “State of Charge --- %”.
SOC will show a valid number when the battery bank is charged to full conditions.
- SOC and Remaining are not shown in the "I + U only"-mode.

5.1.5 History

To know the history of your battery bank can be very useful. It will help you to check if the battery capacity suits the application and when the battery needs to be replaced. The memory back up system of the MasterShunt 500 saves this data even if the battery was completely discharged or disconnected. The following parameters are only shown in MasterAdjust.

Battery abuse
Slow and deep discharges below the battery’s end voltage can reduce the expected lifetime of your
batteries dramatically. This item shows the number of battery abuse cycles. A large number of abuse cycles might indicate small loads that stayed connected during a long period (for instance during wintertime). Get your electrical installation examined by a qualified installer if abuse cycles happen more than once!
Discharged state
This timer will start when the SOC is below the “start under level” and will stop when the SOC is above the “stop above level” (with a DOD of 100%)
