Bogart TM-2030 Specifications and Warranty

Bogart Engineering TriMetric: TM-2030 Warranty and Specifications
Warranty: 4 years provided there are no obvious signs of abuse: We will repair or
replace (at our option) to operate at a level specified or implied by our instructions.
Main battery (B1): Measures Volts, Amps, Watts, Battery % Full, Amp-hours from full, Days since
charged, Timer for days since Equalized. Also data logging (history data) described below.
Secondary Battery (B2) sharing common negative with main battery: Measures volts only
Battery Volts: From 10.0 – 65.0 volts for main battery. From 0.0 to 100 volts on secondary battery.
Resolution 0.1 volt. Accuracy ± 0.3%
Amps charging or discharging: With 500A/50mV shunt: 00.0 to ± 999 Amps, resolution 0.1A. With
100A/100mV shunt 0.00-300 Amps, resolution 0.01 Amp. ±1% ± least significant digit.
Note: Maximum amps is often limited by the shunt capability: maximum current for a typical
500A/50mV shunt is about ±400A. For a 100A/100mV shunt about ±70 Amps. (Depending on
shunt design and ambient temperature)
Watts: ±20,000 Watts. (With 500A shunt: when “Amps” read greater than 10.0, Watts accuracy ±1.5% ±
least significant digit.) When “Amps” value is lower, watts accuracy depends on “amps” resolution
accuracy.
Amp-hours: Measurement accuracy: 0.00 to ±80,000 Amp-hours to same accuracy as amps.
Battery % Full: Measurement accuracy ±1%. Also measures overcharge. Typical system accuracy, if
batteries are charged full at least every 5 days : typical ±4%. With “efficiency” set to suggested
94% the Battery%Full Display will be conservative (i.e. display a little lower than actual).
Shows “replaced amp hours”: Compared with most recent discharge period—while charging shows what
percent of previous amp hours have been replaced.: 0-199%
Meter Power requirement: About 30 mA when display is on and about 16mA when display turned off.
Efficiency factor adjustable: 60-100%
Battery capacity settable 10 to 10,000 Amp-hrs.
Serial Data: 5V output stream with all TriMetric real time data ASCII coded.
Charge criteria defined by: Filtered voltage above Vset. Filtered amps less than Iset. Both adjustable.
(Filtered time constant: 140 seconds). See Section 6.2 of TM-2030 User’s Instructions for detailed
description.
Power Requirement: Power from main battery B1: 9-65V, 32mA with display lighted. 16 mA with
display off.
Size: TM-2030-RV: Box is 4-1/4 high x 3 x 1-3/8 inch depth
with 1/2 in. mounting tabs top and bottom. (10.8 x 7.6
x 3.5 cm.)
TM-2030-A: 4-1/2 x 4-3/4 panel with circuit board 1-1/8 (max) in. deep. (11.4 x 12.1 x 2.85 cm.)
History data: retained in memory when power turned off
●Cumulative amps discharged during battery lifetime (0-999,000 amp hours) measures only
dischargeamp-hours, to measure battery wear
Records the following for last 5 charge/discharge cycles:
●Hours ago since end of cycle
●Length of cycle (hours)
●Amp hour efficiency factor for each complete cycle (amp hours total discharging
divided by amp total charginto show charge efficiency of battery system)
●Minimum voltage for each cycle.
●Minimum battery %Full for each cycle
For the last 5 days:
●Maximum charging voltage each day
●Amps value: intended to show how close to “charged” the battery system got
When maximum voltage greater than charged setpoint volts: shows minimum amps.
When maximum voltage less than charged setpoint volts: shows amps at maximum
voltage
●Maximum value percent charge returned compared to most recent discharge
