Alternator › Shadow commissioning (flow)

The order to bring a new alternator board into service: flash, Shadow ON, verify current/voltage/temperature against reference, then Shadow OFF.

How to get there

INSTALLATION.md §6.4 — follow on board with a clamp meter

What it does

Each step uses the Shadow, setpoints and fault-clear controls above. ⚠️ Safety-critical.

Before you start

On the boat's Sisu Wi-Fi/LAN (the router forwards to Sisu-IoT); device powered; a person aboard with meters; engine running for the last steps

What you should see

Readings match the meters within tolerance before Shadow goes OFF; any fault latches the field off.
