METER: 05I Days Since 100%
This read-only menu displays the number of days since the battery was at 100% SOC, and is
calculated in the router.
Info: This display resets either once the battery SOC reaches 100%, power to the
router is lost, or the data communications from the BMK is lost.
Info: The METER: 05I Days Since 100% menu uses information from the METER:05A
BMK SOC menu to determine the last time the battery SOC was at 100%.
Info: For the METER: 05I Days Since 100% to increment, the optional battery monitor
(ME-BMK or ME-BMK-NS) must be connected and the METER: 05A BMK SOC meter must
not display 100% [must display a valid SOC value – Think’n, No Comm, or any BMK fault
(i.e., Factory Fault, Power-up Fault, or Unknown Fault ##) are not valid SOC values].
Info: The METER: 05I Days Since 100% menu is similar to the 04F Since 100% Days
menu (calculated in AGS). If an AGS is installed at a later date (or router is reconnected),
the two menus are not coordinated with each other. However, they will be automatically
synchronized once the BMK’s METER: 05A BMK SOC menu reaches 100% SOC (or you
can manually synchronize by momentarily removing the network cable from the BMK).
8.2.3 ME-RTR Router’s BMK Menu Maps
Figures 8-4, 8-5 & 8-6 are a complete overview of the battery monitor settings and information
displays available from the ME-RTR router’s SETUP and METER menus. Refer to Appendix A in the
back of this manual for a glossary of abbreviations that may appear on the router’s LCD display.
METER: 05G Minimum VDC
This menu displays the lowest battery voltage since the last reset. The voltage shown on the display
is averaged each second, and is helpful when troubleshooting or detecting an over-discharge
condition. To reset this display, press and hold the rotary SELECT knob for ~2 seconds while the
Minimum VDC display is shown. If the battery monitor is not connected or not communicating,
the display will show “0.0”.
METER: 05H Maximum VDC
This menu displays the highest battery voltage since the last reset. The voltage shown is averaged
each second, and this allows you to check your charging system (e.g., battery charger, charge
controller, etc.,) to ensure the charging voltage has been attained. This is also helpful when
troubleshooting or detecting if an overcharge condition has occurred. To reset this display, press
and hold the rotary SELECT knob for ~2 seconds while the Maximum VDC display is shown. If the
battery monitor is not connected or not communicating, the display shows “0.0”.
