Victron battery monitor help
I got it installed, but it won't read any amps. At all. I have double checked that it is wired correctly, and there are no connections to the negative terminal other than the shunt. I get voltage read...

I can't even find the wiring diagram on their website.
So some basic troubleshooting.
Put a good load on your battery bank, like a toaster, hair dryer, etc. and measure across the shunt with a regular volt meter. You should see a voltage, likely a few volts, or even less than a volt, but the reading should be constant and not jumping around like meters do sometimes when not connected to anything.
If you see a voltage, then the problem could be the PCB, or the connection between it and the monitor.
If you don't see any voltage, then there's a problem with how the shunt is wired into your system and current is bypassing the shunt.
