8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Display does not light up | No power, incorrect wiring, or faulty connection. | Check power source. Verify wiring polarity (red to positive, black to negative). Ensure connectors are securely plugged in. |
| Incorrect voltage/capacity reading | Incorrect battery type setting, calibration error, or battery issue. | Verify the correct battery type (Lead Acid, Ternary Lithium, Iron Lithium) and string number/voltage is set in the operating modes. If persistent, consider accuracy calibration via the potentiometer. Check battery health. |
| Low pressure alarm not working or false alarms | Alarm settings incorrect or battery voltage fluctuating. | Check and adjust the low pressure alarm settings (Mode 6-Lo). Ensure the alarm sound is enabled (Mode 7-A). |
| Display backlight always on/off (when not desired) | Backlight setting incorrect. | Adjust the display backlight settings (Mode 5-b) to ON (10-second delay) or OFF (always on). |
9. User Tips
- The compact dimensions (61.3*33.3*13.5MM) make this meter suitable for installations where space is limited.
- The digital display provides clear and accurate readings of electricity and voltage, which is beneficial for monitoring battery status.
- Remember to set the correct battery type and voltage/string number for accurate readings, as the device has power-off memory for these settings.
