Just received my new Flexmax 60 and am reading the install directions and I have a few questions. In my old set up I have a shunt for my Trimetric display but I do not have a disconnect box. I am installing a breaker on the input of 16 amps and a 50 amp on the output side which I am using as my battery disconnect. According to the installation (pic attached) it looks like the
shunt is attached to a negative grounding block which I don't have
attached to my shunt. Can I hook my PV- BAT- ground from my charge
controller, ground from my inverter,and main ground right from my shunt?
Also one other question I see in the wiring diagram a ground coming
from all the panels to the grounding block, I do not have that now is it
needed?
You may remember I have a 12 volt system 420 watts in series![Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6024911/uploads/editor/jm/2egxgccug68h.png](https://us.v-cdn.net/6024911/uploads/editor/jm/2egxgccug68h.png)

The negative battery connection goes to one side of the shunt and all other negative connections go to the other side, including a connection from the grounding block. The PV ground should be connected to the grounding block also. The grounding block should also have a connection to a ground rod.
