BMK Troubleshooting using the ME-ARC

This section assists you in using the remote to identify and resolve any faults or abnormal opera-

tional conditions within your BMK system.

8.3.1

BMK Fault Message Screens

When an BMK fault is detected, the ME-ARC’s red FAULT LED comes on and the fault status is

displayed on the LCD screen. Figure 8-3 is an example of how BMK fault messages appear on the

ME-ARC remote. Use the remote’s LCD screen and the information in this section to identify and

correct the issue.
Note: The FAULT LED blinks and the fault alternates with the inverter/charger status.

8.3.2

Resolving BMK Faults using the ME-ARC

For the three BMK faults that follow, refer to the respective remedy.
• Factory

Fault – The BMK has lost its factory-set internal calibration reference.

Remedy: Reset the battery monitor by removing all power from the BMK. If the fault

remains or returns after resetting, the BMK will require repair at a Magnum Energy

factory service facility.

• Power-up

Fault – The BMK’s power-up sequence failed.

Remedy: 1) Ensure the current sense wires are connected into pins 1 (blue wire) and

2 (orange wire), and the voltage wires are connected to pins 3 (black/negative) and 4

(red/positive). 2) Unplug the 4-port terminal block from the sense module, and then

check for the correct DC voltage on pins 3 (-) and 4 (+). The voltage must be between

7-70 volts DC depending on the nominal voltage of the inverter.

• Unknown

Fault ## – This fault message displays when the BMK has sent a fault code that

is not recognized by the remote.

Remedy: Call the Technical Support department at Magnum Energy (425-353-8833)

for assistance in determining and understanding the actual fault status.
