BATTERY MONITOR BW-01 | OWNER'S MANuAl
Programming Procedure: Brightness of lED Display: The unit comes
preset with brightness of the LEDs set at Normal (Bright). The brightness can be dimmed or
the LEDs can be switched OFF. Settings can be changed with the help of the Programming
Button (5, Fig 1). Settings are performed in sequential order in a loop: Bright » Dim » OFF
» Bright » Dim » OFF… repeats the loop.
For changing the Setting: Press and hold Programming Button » Beep will be heard
» Release the Button.
Please note that when the LED display is switched OFF, the Buzzer alarm protocols stay
active in the background. Hence, if Under Voltage / Over Voltage condition is activated,
the LED display and Buzzer alarm protocols for the abnormal condition will be activated.
Programming Procedure: Alarm Thresholds / 3-Day Timer
Thresholds of Low Voltage / High Voltage Alarms and Timer ON / OFF settings are
programmed with the help of Programming Button (5, Fig 1) and by monitoring the LED
and Buzzer indication patterns. CAuTION! Alarm thresholds are to be programmed
only when the voltage is between 10.5V and 13.3V (for 12V battery) and between
21V and 26.6V (for 24V battery). In this condition, the lEDs / Buzzer should not
be indicating “charging” i.e., should not be displaying “Walking lEDs – Fast” or
“Walking lEDs – Slow.”
Programming Modes are SEQUENTIAL as shown in the sequence given below. This means
that in order to access programming of the desired parameter, it will be necessary to pass
through the previous programming positions. Press Programming Button (5, Fig 1) and
hold it in pressed condition. Release the Button ONLY when the LED + Beeping pattern for
the desired parameter is displayed.
The sequence starts with Programming Mode for Low Voltage Thresholds first followed by
High Voltage Thresholds and then followed by Timer ON/OFF. Before the start of each
Programming Mode, all the 3 LEDs and buzzer will blink simultaneously 3 times.
To START, press Programming Button (5, Fig 1) and hold it in pressed condition. Release
the Button ONLY when the LED + Beeping pattern for the desired parameter is
displayed.
