5. Setup Instructions
5.1 Physical Installation
The meter can be installed in two primary ways depending on the model variant:
- Panel Mounting (Non-Waterproof Model): For flush installation, cut an opening of 68.78mm (L) x 38.8mm (W) in your desired panel. Insert the meter into the opening and secure it.
- Surface Mounting (Waterproof Model): The waterproof model can be surface-mounted. Use appropriate fasteners (not included) through the mounting holes (if present) or adhesive to secure the device to a flat surface.

5.2 Electrical Connection
- Ensure the battery or power source is disconnected before wiring.
- Locate the provided 2-pin wire harness.
- Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal of your battery or power source.
- Connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal of your battery or power source.
- Plug the white connector of the wire harness into the corresponding port on the back of the battery voltmeter.
- Verify all connections are secure and correctly polarized.

5.3 Initial Configuration (Battery Type Selection)
Upon initial power-up or after a reset, you may need to configure the meter for your specific battery type to ensure accurate readings. The device supports various battery chemistries:
- Lead-acid batteries
- Lithium ternary batteries
- Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries
Use the button on the front of the device to navigate through the settings menu. Typically, a long press enters the settings, and short presses cycle through options. Refer to the on-screen prompts to select the correct battery type and voltage configuration (e.g., 12V, 24V, 48V, etc.). The device features 'Custom battery monitoring settings' and 'Battery SOC curve import' for advanced configuration.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Power On/Off
The meter powers on automatically when connected to a compatible battery within its voltage range (DC 8V-100V). There is no dedicated power button; it draws power directly from the connected battery.
6.2 Display Modes
The high-definition LCD screen displays key battery information. A single button on the front panel allows you to cycle through different display modes, which typically include:
- Battery Voltage (V)
- Remaining Battery Percentage (%)
- Real-time Temperature (℃)

6.3 Alarm Reminders
The device is equipped with a voltage alarm reminder system to enhance safety and prevent battery damage. You can set custom overcharge and over-discharge voltage thresholds. When the battery voltage exceeds or falls below these preset levels, the meter will activate its built-in flashing lights and audible alarms.
- Overcharge Alarm: Alerts when battery capacity is higher than 100% (or a set upper voltage limit).
- Over-discharge Alarm: Alerts when battery capacity is lower than 10% (or a set lower voltage limit).
To set or adjust alarm thresholds, enter the settings menu using the front button and navigate to the alarm configuration options.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the display and casing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the screen or plastic.
- Environmental Conditions: Store and operate the device within the specified detection temperature range (-20~80℃). Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, high humidity, or corrosive environments.
- Connections: Periodically check the electrical connections to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion. Loose connections can lead to inaccurate readings or device malfunction.
- Waterproof Model: While the waterproof model offers enhanced protection, avoid submerging it in water or exposing it to high-pressure water jets.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your battery voltmeter, consider the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No display/Device not powering on | Incorrect wiring, no power from battery, battery voltage outside 8V-100V range. | Check red and black wire connections for correct polarity. Ensure battery has sufficient charge and voltage is within the specified range. |
| Inaccurate measurement (voltage/percentage) | Incorrect battery type selected in settings, loose connections, device malfunction. | Verify the correct battery type (Lead-acid, Lithium, LiFePO4) is selected in the settings. Check all wiring connections. The device features automatic calibration, but if issues persist, consult support. |
| Alarm constantly active or not triggering | Incorrect alarm thresholds set, battery condition. | Adjust the overcharge and over-discharge voltage alarm thresholds in the settings menu to match your battery's requirements. Check battery health. |
| Display flickering or erratic behavior | Unstable power supply, loose internal connection, environmental interference. | Ensure a stable power connection. Avoid strong electromagnetic interference. If the problem persists, contact support. |
