VANNER Incorporated Owners Manual Introduction Thank you for purchasing Vanner‟s PMEC-12/24 Power Management and Engine Start Controller, commonly referred to as IdleWATCH™. The IdleWATCH™ is an idle reduction system that helps fleets meet the industry‟s no-idle regulations in addition to reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.

VANNER Incorporated OWNER’S MANUAL Theory of Operation Battery Monitoring The primary function of the PMEC is battery monitoring. The monitoring algorithm analyzes battery voltage, current, and temperature inputs, and calculates/estimates the SOC (State of Charge), SOH (State of Health), SOCach (Achievable State of Charge based on SOH and temperature of battery), U (Estimated Time to Run), and Up (Estimated Time to Run adjusted by SOH and temperature of battery) of the battery.

VANNER Incorporated OWNER’S MANUAL Load Control There are two load outputs, labeled as Load A and Load B. Both loads will be shut off if the battery SOC is less than SOC_LoadOff, which can be set through the CAN bus. Each load will be shut off if the corresponding load current is higher than its Load?Limit, which can be set through the CAN bus. (Here „?‟ denotes either A or B.
VANNER Incorporated OWNER’S MANUAL Saving of Battery Data at Power Down An unmaskable external interrupt will be triggered when the ignition signal to the PMEC drops below 9V. In this interrupt service routine, all PMEC/battery parameters and battery status information is saved into non-volatile memory – FRAM. The saved data is read out at power up and used to continue battery monitoring.

VANNER Incorporated OWNER’S MANUAL State Diagram - Descriptive 0 - Initial This state represents the condition the vehicle will be in prior to any human interaction. 1 – Auto Start This state represents the condition the PMEC will be in after enabling AutoStart functionality upon arrival at a job site. In order for AutoStart functionality to be enabled, the following vehicle conditions must be met; 1. Ignition in “off” position (no key present) 2. Gear selector in park position 3.
VANNER Incorporated OWNER’S MANUAL PMEC States AutoStart is enabled Engine Start is on (LED on dash mounted remote will be on) Loads A and B will be switched “on” 5 – Fast Idle This state represents the condition the PMEC will be in while the engine is running in the fast idle mode during a battery recharge cycle. The engine will enter the fast idle mode if the battery voltage (Vbatt) is less than the alternator maximum voltage (AltMaxVoltage) – 0.
VANNER Incorporated OWNER’S MANUAL Disabling AutoStart AutoStart functionality can be disabled by pressing and holding the “Off” button for one second. The “Off” button is located on the panel mounted remote. Upon disabling AutoStart, the PMEC state will return to the initial settings found in state 0.

VANNER Incorporated OWNER’S MANUAL Wire Size and Temperature Rating Cables connecting the PMEC to the batteries should be sufficiently sized to prevent unwanted voltage drop. Vanner recommends the voltage drop should be no greater than 0.5 between the PMEC‟s +12/24 volt terminal and the battery +12/24 volt terminal.
VANNER Incorporated OWNER’S MANUAL Troubleshooting CAUTION Servicing of electrical systems should only be performed by trained and qualified technical personnel. Equipment Required VoltMeter having 0.01 volt resolution. (Fluke Model 87 Multimeter recommended). Clamp-on current meter (Fluke Model 36 Clamp-on Meter recommended). USB to CAN adapter module - PEAK System‟s PCAN-USB IPEH-002021 or Vector‟s CANcaseXL V2.0 w/CANpiggy 1050mag installed Laptop computer with Vanner CAN interface software.
