Resource Information State of Charge (SOC) http://bluesea.com/viewresource/1324 AC Current Measurement http://bluesea.com/viewresource/86 Warning and Caution Symbols WARNING: The symbol refers to possible injury to the user or significant damage to the meter if the user does not follow the procedures. CAUTION: The symbol refers to restrictions and rules with regard to preventing damage to the meter.
PAGE 3
Mounting Considerations M2 Digital Meters have three mounting methods: Surface mount, Flat panel mount, and 360 panel mount. When surface mounted per instructions the unit face is waterproof to IP66. Flat panel and 360 mounting systems are not waterproof. The unit should not be flat panel or 360 mounted if used in an exposed location. For all mountings, the back of the unit is not waterproof and must be kept dry.

DC Functions (1830, 1832, 1833, 1834) 1830 DC SoC Monitor measures the voltages of up to three battery banks and current draw on one battery bank. Provides battery State of Charge (SoC), capacity, amp hours (Ah) remaining, and charge cycles. 1832 DC Ammeter measures current draw of up to 2 battery banks. 1833 DC Voltmeter measures the voltages of up to four battery banks. 1834 DC Multimeter measures the voltages of up to three battery banks and current draw on one battery bank.

M2 Relay Connections M2 Meters contains an internal MOSFET relay that can drive external DC loads up to 0.5A. The input is protected with a thermally activated auto-resetting fuse that will protect against shorts. In addition, an inline fuse rated at 5A should be used to protect against shorts. In typical applications, a power source is connected to the Relay+ pin and a load is connected to the Relay Out to Load connection.
PAGE 8
External Alarm (1070 Floyd Bell Turbo) The Relay+ terminal can support an external audible alarm. Such as the Floyd Bell Turbo Alarm (PN 1070). External Alarm Supply 5 to 30V DC 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 + Red - Silver 1070 External Relay If you need to switch more than 0.5 A, you can use an external relay such as PN 7713, 12V or PN 7717, 24V Remote Battery Switch. Connect the Relay+ terminal to the red control wire. Activating the internal relay will also activate PN 7713.

Getting Started Example Screens From PN 1830 SoC Monitor When an M2 Meter is initially powered up, it will display the Blue Sea Systems Logo,its serial number and its Software revision. After a couple of seconds, the unit will display a high-level System Summary screen. Pressing any button will display a temporary pop-up menu. Select an option by pressing the button beneath it. The pop-up menu will disappear after the first button is pressed. The menu system is a two dimensional matrix.
PAGE 10
Menu Press the Menu button to bring up a shortcut menu to for additional summary screens as well as to access the Setup menus. Press the UP ↑ and DOWN ↓ arrow buttons to move the cursor over the options and press the Select button to see a selected display. To return to the previous display, press the Back button. Configuring the Meter Meter settings can be configured from the Setup menu. This menu can be accessed by pressing the Menu button and then scrolling to and selecting Setup.
PAGE 11
Voltage Alarm Voltage alarms can be set for high (Hi) or low (Lo) voltage conditions. Current Alarm The current alarm can only be set for over current conditions. State-of-Charge (SoC) Alarm (PN 1830 Only) The state-of-charge alarm can only be set if the state of charge is below a certain threshold. DC Alarm Dly An alarm delay can be specified so that alarms don’t immediately trigger. This can be useful when monitoring a starting battery so that the alarm doesn’t trigger every time an engine is started.
PAGE 12
Notification The Notification setting controls whether or not a notification is displayed when a relay is activated. Notifications will show which relay threshold was surpassed and for which channel. Scroll to Notification and press Select to change the setting. Press the LEFT ← or RIGHT → arrow buttons to choose either ON or OFF. ON will display notifications and OFF will not. Use this option if you don’t want to be notified that the relay is activating.
PAGE 13
Clearing Relay Notification If the Notification option is set to ON then any time the relay is opened (Normally Off) or closed (Normally On). A message will be displayed on the main screen. Pressing a key will clear this notification. If Silence is set to ON then the relay will be opened (Normally Off) or closed (Normally On). Viewing Relay Status For any active alarm, the parameter will flash if it is displayed. To view a complete list of active alarms, press Menu>Setup>Relay Setup.
PAGE 14
Changing System Labels The M2 allows the user to change the labels that are displayed above each channel. Each channel can have a maximum of 16 characters however in the summary screens only the first 11 or 12 characters of the channel label are displayed. Changing Label Names To change the name of a battery, follow the instructions below: 1. Navigate to the setup menu for the desired battery (such as DC1 Setup). Menu->Setup->DC1 Setup 2.
PAGE 15
Full Chrg Volts (PN 1830 Only) This setting indicates the voltage at which the battery is considered to be fully charged. The available range is 0.1 V to 70.0V. This should be set to the absorption voltage of your charger. If you don’t know the absorption voltage, you can figure the absorption voltage out by observing the output voltage of the charger once it enters the absorption phase. If you have multiple charging sources, set it to the higher absorption voltage.
PAGE 16
DC2, DC3, DC4 Setup Enable Turn the channel on or off. If Enable is set to OFF then the channel will not be displayed in the main menus. The alarms and relay functions for that channel will not be disabled. To disable the alarm and relay for a channel, set the alarm and relay for each channel to OFF. Version Info The Version Info option in the Setup menu displays the product name, serial number, and software version.
PAGE 17
Software Upgrade The meter firmware can be updated in one of two ways. The first option is to use the Software Upgrade option in the Setup menu. The second option is to force the meter into upgrade mode on startup. Each method involves using a USB memory stick connected to the USB port on the back of the meter. The USB port is a type A/B micro USB port. This port is also known as a Micro USB Host OTG. Available at Best Buy or Amazon: http://amzn.
