04C DC Volts-BMK – This meter displays the real-time battery voltage from
07.00 to 70.00 volts (± 0.02 volts).
04D DC Amps-BMK – This meter displays the real-time charge current (amps
into the battery) or discharge current (amps out of the battery). Charging is
shown as a positive (+) number and discharging is shown as a negative (-)
number. The range is from ±0.1 to 999 amps, with a 1.0% accuracy.
04E AH In/Out – This meter displays the amp-hours returned to or removed
from the battery. When this value is positive, it represents amp-hours returned
to the battery during any subsequent charging. A negative value represents
amp-hours removed from a full battery. The range is ±32,768 AH.
When using the charge effi ciency’s Auto setting, the AH I/O value is recal-
culated after the battery has been fully charged (reaching 100% SOC) and
≥0.5% of the battery capacity has been discharged. If the Sense Module is
disconnected from power, the displayed AH I/O value resets to zero.
Info: The AH I/O display correlates with the 05B AmpHour Size set-
ting (under SETUP button) to help determine the 04B SOC display.
AH I/O example – if you run a 10 amp load for three hours, the
display will show -30 AH. When you begin charging, the display will
count from -30 AH back toward 0 AH.
04F Resetable AH – This meter displays the total amp-hours removed from
the battery since it was last reset. This display can be used as a battery load
indicator to help identify and monitor the battery load consumption. The range
is 0 to 65,535.0 amp-hours (0.1 amp-hour resolution).
To reset the AmpHrs value to zero, press and hold the rotary SELECT knob for
>5 seconds when the Resetable AH display is shown. After this display has been
reset, it will begin calculating and displaying new rAH Out values. This display
automatically resets to zero if the Sense Module is disconnected from power.
04G Total AH Out – This meter displays the total amp-hours removed from
the battery since the Sense Module was fi rst connected. This display can be
used as a battery service life indicator. The value is displayed in 0.1k [or 100
amp-hours (“k” equals 1000)] resolution up to a maximum of 6,553.5k amp-
hours (6,553,500 amp-hours). The displayed number resets to 0.0k when the
Sense Module is disconnected from power.
04H Minimum VDC – This menu displays the lowest battery voltage since
the last reset. The voltage shown on the display is averaged each sec-
ond, and is helpful when troubleshooting or detecting an over-discharge
condition. To reset this display, press and hold the rotary SELECT knob for 5
seconds while the Minimum VDC display is shown. After this value has been
reset, the display will begin monitoring and showing new minimum DC input
values. If the battery monitor is not connected or not communicating, the
display will show “0.0”.
04I Maximum VDC – This menu displays the highest battery voltage since the
last reset. The voltage shown on the display is averaged each second, and this
allows you to check your charging system (battery charger, charge controller,
etc.) to ensure the charging voltage has been attained. This display is also help-
ful when troubleshooting or detecting if an over-charge condition has occurred.
To reset this display, press and hold the rotary SELECT knob for 5 seconds
while the Maximum VDC display is shown. After this value has been reset, the
display will begin monitoring and showing new maximum DC input values. If
the battery monitor is not connected or not communicating, the display will
show “0.0”.
