• tAH Out (Total AHrs Removed) – This meter displays the total AHrs
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 AHrs (“k” equals 1000)] resolution up to a
maximum of 6,553.5k AHrs (6,553,500 AHrs). The displayed number
resets to 0.0k when the Sense Module is disconnected from power.
04 BM: Status – This menu selection offers read only displays that give the
current operating status of the battery monitor. This selection also provides
information to determine if there is a power-up fault condition.
• BM: Factory Fault – The BMK has lost its calibration setpoints that
were established at the factory.
• BM: No Comm – The battery monitor is not communicating with the
remote. This typically means a ME-BMK is not installed in the system.
If installed, view the Sense Module LED and refer to your BMK owner’s
manual to help determine the issue.
• BM: Pwr-up Fault – The battery monitor faulted when it was powered-
up. The fault occurred because the power-up self-test failed. Refer to
your BMK owner’s manual.
• BM: Ready – The battery monitor is connected and actively monitoring
the battery system.
05 BM: Setup – This menu allows the battery’s charging effi ciency to be
automatically calculated or manually selected, and the battery’s amp-hours
to be set. Refer to Section 8.1 for more information on the Charge Effi ciency
setting, and to Section 8.2 for the Batt AmpHr setting.
06 BM: TECH – These menu selections allow you to access the system
information used to assist service technicians in troubleshooting the battery
monitor or the charging system.
• BM
Rev – This read only menu displays the fi rmware revision level of
the connected battery monitor. If the battery monitor is not connected
or not communicating, the display will show “0.0”.
• Min DC – 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 5 seconds
while the Min DC 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”.
• Max DC – 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 helpful 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 Max DC 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”.
