3. Safety Information

• Always ensure proper insulation between red (positive) and black (negative) wires to prevent short circuits.
• Do not exceed the maximum voltage (60V) or current (100A) ratings of the device. Exceeding these limits can cause damage to the meter and connected equipment.
• When testing voltages lower than 4.8V, a separate 12V power supply is required to power the watt meter's display and internal circuitry.
• Keep the device away from water, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the watt meter.

4. Product Overview

The Blomiky Watt Meter features a durable design and a clear LCD display for comprehensive electrical measurements.

4.1. Key Features

• LCD Display: A 2.57 x 0.57 inch backlit LCD screen provides clear readability, even in bright conditions.
• High Precision: Measures current from 0-100A with 0.01A resolution, voltage from 4.8V-60V with 0.01V resolution, and energy from 0-6554Wh with 0.01Wh resolution.
• Multi-functional: Displays real-time values for Capacity (Ah), Voltage (V), Amperage (A), Wattage (W), Watt-peak (Wp), Amp-peak (Ap), and Volt-minimum (Vm).
• Versatile Application: Ideal for RC hobbies, DC circuits, solar systems, and wind power applications.

5. Setup

Follow these steps to set up your Blomiky Watt Meter:

1. Identify Connections: The watt meter has two main connection sides: 'SOURCE' and 'LOAD'. The 'SOURCE' side connects to your power supply (e.g., battery), and the 'LOAD' side connects to the device you want to power and measure.
2. Connect Power Source: Connect the red wire from the 'SOURCE' side to the positive terminal of your power supply and the black wire to the negative terminal.
3. Connect Load: Connect the red wire from the 'LOAD' side to the positive input of your device and the black wire to the negative input.
4. Use Adapters (Optional): Utilize the included alligator clip cable or the 8-in-1 octopus adapter cable as needed for different connector types. Always ensure correct polarity (red for positive, black for negative).
5. External Power for Low Voltage (If applicable): If your power source voltage is below 4.8V, connect a separate 12V power supply to the small auxiliary port on the side of the watt meter to ensure the display functions correctly.

6. Operating Instructions

Once properly connected, the watt meter will automatically begin displaying measurements.

1. Real-time Display: The LCD screen will show real-time values. The top line typically displays accumulated Capacity (Ah) and instantaneous Voltage (V). The second line cycles through instantaneous Amperage (A), Wattage (W), Amp-peak (Ap), Watt-peak (Wp), and Volt-minimum (Vm).
2. Monitoring Peak Values: The watt meter continuously monitors and records the maximum current (Ap), maximum power (Wp), and minimum voltage (Vm) observed during the measurement session. These values are useful for analyzing system performance and identifying potential issues.
3. Resetting Accumulated Values: To clear the accumulated Capacity (Ah) and Energy (Wh) readings, simply disconnect the power source from the watt meter and then reconnect it. This will reset the values for a new measurement cycle.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your Blomiky Watt Meter.

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: Store the watt meter and its accessories in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and corrosive materials, when not in use.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all cables and connectors for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace damaged components immediately.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Blomiky Watt Meter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No display or dim display:
  • Check if the input voltage from the power source is within the 4.8V-60V operating range.
  • If the voltage is below 4.8V, connect an external 12V power supply to the auxiliary port on the side of the watt meter.
  • Ensure all connections are secure and that correct polarity (red to positive, black to negative) is observed.
• Incorrect readings:
  • Verify that all connections are tight and free from loose contacts or short circuits.
  • Confirm that the watt meter is connected correctly: 'SOURCE' to the power supply and 'LOAD' to the device being measured.
• Device not powering on:
  • Confirm that the power source is active and providing sufficient voltage within the specified range.
• Unit smokes or fails at high current/voltage:
  • Immediately disconnect power. This indicates that the current or voltage limits (100A, 60V) have been exceeded. The device is not designed for continuous operation beyond these specifications.
