Overview
The Touch Screen Display & Communication Box work together as advanced monitoring devices for Epoch Pro Series batteries. With these components, you gain real-time insights into critical battery performance metrics, enabling you to manage your energy storage system safely and effectively.
Key parameters displayed include:
· State of Charge (SOC): Indicates the remaining battery capacity as a percentage.
· Voltage and Current: Shows the real-time electrical status of your battery system. · Remaining Capacity: Reveals how many ampere-hours (Ah) remain in the battery bank. · Temperature: Monitors internal battery temperature, helping to preserve battery health. · Configuration Data: Displays series/parallel setup details and other system settings.
All communication utilizes an RS485 interface, delivering reliable data transfer even in complex or noisy electrical environments.
Connection Methods
1. Direct Connection: Plug the Touch Screen Display directly into the Pro Series battery using the supplied wiring harness. This is ideal for straightforward systems that require minimal setup.
2. Via Communication Box: For more advanced communication protocols or complex systems, connect the Touch Screen Display to the T-monitor port on the Communication Box. The Communication Box then links to the Pro Series battery bank, creating a flexible networking solution..

Installation
1. Connect Power and Communication Cables 1. Power Connection
· Ensure correct polarity: positive to positive, negative to negative.
2. Communication Connection · Direct to Battery: Plug the Touch Screen Display’s communication cable into the LINK IN port of the Pro Series master battery. · Using the Communication Box: Connect the Touch Screen Display’s cable to the Tmonitor port on the Communication Box, then verify the Communication Box is wired correctly to the Pro Series batteries.
Best Practice: Double-check all connections for security and correctness before powering on the system to avoid communication issues or potential damage.
2. Enable Communication Networking (with Pro Series Batteries) The Touch Screen Display shows battery data only if the Pro Series battery system is in communication networking mode.
1. Link Battery Modules
· Connect LINK OUT of the first battery to LINK IN of the second battery, and so on.
· Turn on the power switches for every battery.
Page 7
2. Enter Disconnected State
· On the first Pro Series battery’s display panel, press and hold the Config button for 3 seconds.
· All SOC indicators should flash simultaneously. If not, repeat until successful..
3. Enter Communication Network Mode
· (Skip this step for single-battery systems.)
· Again, press and hold the Config button on the first battery for 10 seconds or more.
· The SOC indicators on all batteries will flash alternately for about 23 minutes. When
complete, they revert to normal display. If not, repeat the process.
4. System Configuration (via Bluetooth App)
· Use the Epoch Pro Bluetooth app to create a wired network setup.
· Enter system information: system name and the number of series/parallel connections.
· Assign the first battery as the primary battery so the Touch Screen Display shows
overall system data accurately.
