5. Setup and Installation
The ECO-NBM100V Battery Monitor is designed for easy installation using a Hall sensor, which simplifies wiring compared to traditional shunt-based systems. The 5-meter cables allow for flexible placement of the monitor.
5.1. Wiring Diagram
Follow the diagram below for correct wiring. The Hall sensor allows current measurement by simply passing the main battery cable through its opening, eliminating the need for direct wire cutting or screw terminals for current sensing.

5.2. Installation Steps
A simplified 3-step installation process is outlined below:
- Connect Monitor & Hall Sensor: Connect the battery monitor to the Hall sensor and then to your battery system (e.g., LiFePO4 battery, solar panel, charge controller, inverter).
- Set Parameters: Upon first use, configure the battery's nominal capacity and full charge voltage via the touch screen interface.
- Fully Charge Battery: Ensure the battery is fully charged after installation and parameter setup for accurate initial calibration.

6. Operation
6.1. Basic Monitoring
Once installed and powered, the monitor will display real-time battery data. You can switch between "Normal" and "Simple" display modes by touching the screen to view information as desired.
6.2. Parameter Settings
The touch screen allows you to access and adjust various parameters. Navigate through the settings pages (e.g., "Base PM", "Alarm PM", "Correction PM") to configure the monitor according to your battery type and system requirements.
- Nominal Capacity (CAP(AH)): Set the total ampere-hour capacity of your battery bank.
- Full Voltage (FV(V)): Recommended to be the highest voltage displayed when the battery is fully charged and still connected to the charger.
- Low Voltage (ZV(V)): Set the minimum voltage threshold for low voltage alarms.
- Auto Sleep (SLEEP(S)): Configure the time before the display enters sleep mode.
- Backlight (BL): Adjust the backlight brightness percentage.
- Other parameters include overcharge, overvoltage, overcurrent, undervoltage, and overtemperature alarm thresholds.

7. Alarms and Memory Function
7.1. Alarm Functions
The monitor is equipped with alarm functions to protect your battery. It will flash warnings for:
- High Voltage
- Low Voltage
- High Current
- High Temperature
These thresholds can be configured in the parameter settings to match your battery's specifications.
7.2. Data Memory

8. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your battery monitor.
- Monitor does not power on:
- Check all power connections to ensure they are secure and correctly wired.
- Verify that the battery voltage is within the operating range (10-100V).
- Inaccurate readings (Voltage/Current/Capacity):
- Ensure the Hall sensor is correctly installed and the main battery cable passes through it in the correct direction (indicated by arrows on the sensor).
- Verify that the battery parameters (Nominal Capacity, Full Voltage) are accurately set in the monitor's settings.
- Perform a full charge cycle after setting parameters for proper calibration.
- Check for loose connections that might affect readings.
- Display is unresponsive or frozen:
- Try restarting the monitor by disconnecting and reconnecting its power supply.
- Ensure the touch screen is clean and free from debris.
- Alarms trigger unexpectedly:
- Review the alarm threshold settings (high/low voltage, current, temperature) to ensure they are appropriate for your battery type and usage.
- Confirm that the battery is operating within its safe limits.
If issues persist, refer to the official ECO-WORTHY support resources or contact customer service.
