Using a BMK: Operation/Monitoring
8.2.4 BMK Status Messages (with the ME-RTR)
A status message may be an operational or fault message. Access the BMK Home screen (see
Section 8.1 to access) to view the BMK’s current operating status. The status is important when
determining if the BMK is working correctly, or for troubleshooting a BMK installation.
8.2.4.1 BMK Router Operational Statuses
Refer to Table 8-1 below for a brief description of the BMK operational statuses that may display
on your router.
Table 8-1, BMK Router Operational Statuses
STATUS DESCRIPTION
No BMK
Present
The BMK is not communicating with the inverter/router. This is a normal status
if there is no BMK connected in the system.
If a BMK is installed, view the BMK sense module’s LED.
a) If the LED is green, disconnect the terminal block for 5 seconds, and then
reconnect it to ensure the terminal block is correctly seated into the sense
module.
b) If the LED is blinking red, there is no communication or there is an unrecognizable
communication on the network. Check the communication cable—ensure it is
connected correctly. If the ME-BMK communication cable is missing, a standard
2-conductor telephone cable may be temporarily substituted.
Think’n
(Thnk)
When the BMK Sense Module is first connected, the batteries need to be fully
charged (i.e., SOC = 100%) to establish a SOC reference point.
The BMK Sense Module is disconnected from power and the batteries require a full
charge before the router display begins providing SOC percentage information.
###%
(SOC:###%)
The batteries are fully charged, the display has changed from “Think’n” to
“100%” and is ready to provide accurate SOC percentage values.
8.2.4.2 BMK Router Fault Statuses
The following “Fault” statuses indicate that the battery monitor is not working correctly. Refer to
Section 8.3.2 “Resolving BMK Faults using the Router” for help in diagnosing the problem.
Table 8-2, BMK Router Fault Statuses
