INSTALLATION &
OPERATION
When you first install the battery monitor or connect it to a new battery, you will
need to configure it to match the parameters of your battery. NOTE: you must
ensure your battery is fully charged before you commence the battery
monitor setup process.
1. Press any key to wake up the monitor screen (if required), then enter the
settings screen by pressing the button.
2. Press the button again to highlight the first digit in the “CAPACITY (Ah)”
section (it will start flashing red). Use the button to change the value
and the button to move between digits.
3. After setting the capacity, press the button again to move to the “MAX
VOLT (V)” section. Use the process described above to set this to the float
voltage of your battery.
4. Continue to the “ALARM (Ah)” section. The battery monitor will sound an
alarm when your battery is discharged to the value you set here.
5. Set the value in the “MIN VOLT (V) section. This setting will depend on your
battery type and represents the voltage at 0% capacity. The recommended
settings for common battery types are as follows:
Li-ion: 10.0V
AGM, Gel, Wet, Calcium: 10.8V
Finally, return to the main screen by pressing the button, hold down the
button to clear any previous battery capacity calibration, and hold down the
button to set the new battery capacity full calibration.
CAUTION
On the setting screen, if you press the button before saving, all changes will be
discarded.
