AMPTRON RS485 Blu Edge Battery Display
FAQs
Q: How can I check the remaining capacity of the battery?
A: The Remaining Capacity (Ah) is displayed on the main screen and can be monitored for each individual cell or battery module.
Q: What does the State Of Charge (SOC) represent?
A: SOC indicates the current charge level of the battery, helping you understand how much charge is left.
Q: How do I know if there is an alarm triggered?
A: The display will show Battery Status as Normal or Alarm. For detailed alarm information, refer to the alarm list provided in the manual.

General Description
This colour LCD screen is a display accessory for Amptron’s BluEdge Battery series. Simply connect the display to a BluEdge battery (or a bank of batteries that supports parallel communication) with a compatible communication cable to get an instant visual overview of the key status of your battery system. The display comes with built-in audible warning alarm for critical errors.
Key Features
- Quick, easy setup to display key battery information such as State of Charge(% and Ah), Voltage, Current draw, Temperature, Cycles, etc.
- Suitable for compliance with AS/NZS 3001.2.20222 and AS/ NZS 3004.2:2014 standards.
- A built-in audible alarm that will trigger adverse battery conditions prior to battery shut-down.
- Conveniently view any battery alarm codes.
- Easy installation with common cables, for remote battery monitoring with flexible flush-mounted design.
- View consolidated battery information for a bank/group of connected batteries in one display (for models that support parallel communication), and dive into detailed cell data for each connected battery in the group.

Mounting Instructions
There are two ways to mount the display. The monitor can be mounted directly to a wall, without a cavity behind it. In this example, the wire can be routed to run through the bottom of the display, allowing a flush mount to the surface.
Mounting Instructions Cont.
In the second example, the monitor is installed on a wall with a cavity behind it. In this case a hole can be drilled (30mm diameter) allowing the RS485 port to be pushed into the recess to allow hidden connection to the equipment.
Must be installed in a dry location.
Protocol Selection
The BluEdge monitor has different protocols available. The choice of protocol depends on your battery model and/or configuration (single battery, batteries connected in parallel or batteries connected in series). When connecting the monitor, or turning on the battery, the following selection screen will be presented:
