Our SmartShunt 500A is working GREAT in our 2011 Winnebago View 24K RV with dual 6V 232Ah Energizer flooded cell "golf cart" batteries connected in series. Our SmartShunt was installed per Step 5 of Victron’s Quick Install Guide with the (RED single wire with fuse) power cable connected between the positive battery terminal and the SmartShunt Vbatt+ terminal.

HOWEVER, I want to add a Victron Temperature Sensor for BMV-702/712 (Part Number ASS000100000) but need answers to these QUESTIONS:
1. Do I REPLACE this RED power cable that's inserted in SmartShunt Vbatt+ terminal in Step 5 with the RED wire of the Victron Energy Temperature Sensor for BMV-702/712 (Part Number ASS000100000) shown in Step 8 that I also purchased?
OR do install BOTH the (RED single wire with fuse) power cable that came with the SmartShunt shown in Step 5 AND the RED wire of the Victron Energy Temperature Sensor shown in Step 8 into the SmartShunt Vbatt+ terminal?
2. IF I ONLY install the RED wire of the Victron Energy Temperature Sensor into the SmartShunt Vbatt+ terminal, HOW DO I REMOVE the (RED single wire with fuse) power cable I inserted in Step 5 from the SmartShunt Vbatt+ terminal? I doesn't seem to want to come out, even by inserting a paper clip into the small hole adjoining the SmartShunt Vbatt+ terminal.
Please answer BOTH the above questions at your earliest convenience so I can install the Victron Energy Temperature Sensor correctly.
Thanks!
