The meter accurately measures your batteries state of charge (SOC) and voltage. This unit is compatible with most Lithium, Lead Acid, and Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries ranging from 12-60V. The BVM-100 can be easily programmed on the go and does not require any additional tools or devices to program out in the field. Wiring Instructions The meter is supplied with a 7in long pigtail to hook up to your battery. In some cases, this length will be too short so it is suggested to splice on any additional length that you might need. Connect the Black wire to your batteries Negative (-) terminal and connect the Red wire to your batteries Positive (+) terminal. Next, you will need to insert the 2 pin plug on the pigtail into the rear of the meter. The back of the display has a B(Battery Negative) and B+ (Battery Positive) marking indicating the correct polarity for installation. Make sure to pay attention to the orientation of the plug before inserting. Meter Installation The meter will require a rectangular knockout to insert and is held in place by pressure fitting tabs on each side. In most installations you will need to knockout an additional 1mm on each side for the tabs to fit in the knockout. Please refer to the knockout reference table below. Battery Chemistry and Cell Count With the meter powered off, press and hold the on the back and power on the meter. The display will show the current battery preset that is selected. You can use the and to scroll through the available menu options. When you have chosen the correct preset, press the button to return to main screen. At this point the meter is programmed for the correct battery chemistry and cell count, so it should be accurately measuring the current state of charge (SOC). When selecting a Lithium or LiFePO4 chemistry, the cell count refers to the number of cells Specifications Operating Voltage: 6-69VDC Standby Current (on): 4.0-6.0mA Standby Current (sleep): 0.005mA Voltage Accuracy: ± 3-5% Temperature Range: 14 to 140°F (-10 to 60°C) Warranty: 6 Months Lithium 2 cells 3 cells 4 cells 5 cells 6 cells 7 cells 8 cells 9 cells 10 cells 11 cells 12 cells 13 cells 14 cells 15 cells 16 cells Code 2c 3c 4c 5c 6c 7c 8c 9c 10c 11c 12c 13c 14c 15c 16c Lead 12VPb 24VPb 36VPb 48VPb 60VPb 72VPb 84VPb 96VPb Code 1P 2P 3P 4P 5P 6P 7P 8P LiFePO4 2 cells 3 cells 4 cells 5 cells 6 cells 7 cells 8 cells 9 cells 10 cells 11 cells 12 cells 13 cells 14 cells 15 cells 16 cells 17 cells 18 cells 19 cells Code 2F 3F 4F 5F 6F 7F 8F 9F 10F 11F 12F 13F 14F 15F 16F 17F 18F 19F
