Using the ME-RTR Router with the BMK

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 AmpHrs Size setting

(under SETUP button) to help determine the 04A 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.

04E Resetable AHrs –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 this 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.
04F Total kAHrs 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.
04G 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”.
04H 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”.
