Using a BMK: Monitoring
Info: The AH I/O display correlates with the SETUP: 05B AmpHour Size setting to help
determine the 05B Battery SOC display.
Example: if you run a 10-amp load for three hours, the display will show -30 AH. When
you begin charging, the display will count from -30 AH back toward 0 AH.
• 05F Reset AH Out – This meter displays the total amp-hours removed from the battery
since it was last reset. This display can be used as a battery load indicator to help identify and
monitor the battery load consumption. The range is 0 to 65,535.0 amp-hours (0.1 amp-hour
resolution). To reset the AH value to zero, press and hold the rotary SELECT knob for three
seconds when the Reset AH Out display is shown. After this display has been reset, it will begin
calculating and displaying new rAH out values. This display automatically resets to zero if the
sense module is disconnected from power.
• 05G Total AH Out – This meter displays the total amp-hours removed from the battery since
the sense module was fi rst connected. This display can be used as a battery service life indi-
cator. The value is displayed in 0.1k [or 100 AH (“k” equals 1000)] resolution up to a maxi-
mum of 6,553.5k AH (6,553,500 amp-hours). To reset this display, press and hold the rotary
SELECT knob for three seconds while the Total AH Out display is shown. After this value has
been reset, the display will begin monitoring and showing new total AHr out values. Also, the
displayed number resets to 0.0k when the sense module is disconnected from power.
• 05H 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 three seconds while the Minimum VDC 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”.
• 05I Maximum VDC – 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 three
seconds while the Maximum VDC display is shown. After this value has been reset, the display
begins monitoring and showing new maximum DC input values. If the battery monitor is not
connected or not communicating, the display shows “0.0”.
• 05J Days Since 100% SOC – This read-only menu displays the number of days since the
battery was at 100% SOC, and is calculated in the remote.
Info: This display resets: once the battery SOC reaches 100%, power to the remote is
lost, or communication from the BMK is lost.
Info: This display uses information from the METER: 05B Battery SOC menu to
determine the last time the battery SOC was at 100%.
Info: For the ‘days since value’ to increment, the METER: 05B Battery SOC display
must have a valid SOC number (Think’n, No Comm or any BMK fault is not valid), and
the SETUP: 04K Gen 100% SOC Start Days must be enabled (not set to OFF).
Info: This display is similar to the METER: 04F Since 100% menu (calculated in AGS).
If an AGS is installed at a later date (or the remote is reconnected), the two menus
are not coordinated with each other. However, they automatically synchronize once
the BMK’s METER: 05B Battery SOC menu reaches 100% SOC (or you can manually
synchronize by momentarily removing the network cable from the BMK).
