F5.1 Nominal discharge rate (C-rating). The discharge rate (in hours) at which the
battery manufacturer rates your battery’s capacity.
Default : 20h Range : 1 - 20h Step size : 1h
F5.2 Nominal temperature. The temperature at which the battery manufacturer rates
your battery’s capacity.
Default : 20°C Range : 0 - 40°C Step size : 1°C
F5.3 Temperature coefficient. This is the percentage that your battery’s capacity
changes with temperature. The unit of this value is percent capacity per degree
Celsius. The setting “OFF” disables temperature compensation.
Default :
0.50%cap/°C
Range :
OFF / 0.01 - 1.00
Step size : 0.01%cap/°C
F5.4 Peukert's exponent. The Peukert’s exponent represents the effect of reducing
battery capacity at higher discharge rates. When the Peukert value of your battery
is unknown, it is recommended to keep this value at 1.25. A value of 1.00 disables
the Peukert compensation and could be used for Lithium based batteries.
Default : 1.25 Range : 1.00 - 1.50 Step size : 0.01
F5.5 Self-discharge rate. This is the rate at which the battery loses capacity by itself,
even when it is not used. The unit of this value is percent capacity per month at
the Nominal temperature (F5.2). The setting “OFF” disables self-discharge
compensation and could be used for Lithium based batteries.
Default : 3.0%/month Range : OFF / 0.1 -
25.0%/month
Step size : 0.1%/month
F5.6 Charge Efficiency Factor (CEF). CEF is the ratio between the energy removed
from a battery during discharge and the energy used during charging to restore
the original capacity. It is recommended to keep keep this value at “AU” (automatic
calculation). The setting “100” disables charge efficiency compensation.
Default : AU Range : 50 - 100% / AU Step size : 1%

[3 sec] [3x] [1x]
F4.3 Auxiliary battery high voltage alarm On. When the Auxiliary battery voltage rises
above this value, the message “Hi” will appear on the display and the selected
alarm relay will be activated (depending on F4.5).
Default : 16.0V Range : 10.0 - 35.0V Step size : 0.1V
F4.4 Auxiliary battery high voltage alarm Delay. This is the time the Auxiliary battery
high voltage alarm On condition, F4.3, must be met before the alarm is activated.
Default : 5sec Range : 0 - 300sec Step size : variable
F4.5 Enable Auxiliary battery high voltage alarm / Use contact. Select “OFF” to disable
the Auxiliary battery high voltage alarm. Select “[1]” to use the battery monitor's
internal alarm relay.

F6.1 Shunt Amp Rating. This Function is linked to F6.2 and represents the Amp rating
of your shunt at the given voltage indicated by F6.2. Included with your battery
monitor is a 500Amp/50mV shunt, meaning that at 500A flowing through the
shunt, a voltage of 50mV is generated across the small ‘Kelvin’ screw terminals of
the shunt. This voltage will be used by the battery monitor to measure the amount
of current.
Default : 500A Range : 10 - 9000A Step size : variable
F6.2 Shunt milliVolt Rating. This Function represents the milliVolt rating of your shunt at
the given current indicated by F6.1. The battery monitor supports 50mV and 60mV
shunts.
Default : 50mV Range : 50 / 60mV
F6.3 Backlight mode. Represents the duration of backlight activation in seconds after
key-press. The backlight can also be set to be always “ON” or always “OFF”.
Function setting “AU”, activates the backlight automatically when charge /
discharge current exceeds 1Amp or when a key is pressed.
Default : 30sec Range : OFF / 5…300 / ON / AU Step size : variable
F6.4 Alarm contact polarity. Enables selection between a normally open (NO) or
normally closed (NC) contact.
Default : NO Range : NO / NC
F6.5 Voltage prescaler. This Function is only important when an optional voltage
prescaler is installed on the battery monitor. All voltage related Functions are
linked to this Function F6.5. Always keep this Function set to “1-1” when no
prescaler is installed!
Default : 1-1 Range : 1-1 / 1-5 / 1-10
F6.6 Temperature unit selection. Enables selection between degrees Celsius (°C) and
degrees Fahrenheit (°F) in the temperature readout.
Default : °C Range : °C / °F
F6.7 Auxiliary input mode. This Function is used to configure the VA input terminal on
the rearside of the battery monitor, and can be set in two modes. In mode “0”, the
VA input operates in normal voltage measurement mode. In mode “1”, the VA
input can be used to control the backlight. In this mode, the backlight is switched
ON at an input voltage higher than 2V and switched OFF again if the voltage is
below 1V.
Default : 0 Range : 0 / 1
F6.8 Communication mode. This Function is used to configure the data output mode.
Intended for servicing purposes only.
Default : 0 Range : 0 / 1 / 2 / 3
F6.9 Setup lock. When set to “ON”, all functions (except this one) are locked and
cannot be altered. The Reset menu is also locked.
Default : OFF Range : OFF / ON
In the Reset menu, you can reset a number of items of your battery monitor This menu
can be accessed by the following sequence :
6. Reset menu
When the Reset menu is entered, you can use the < and > keys to browse through the
different reset items. By pressing the MENU key, the selected reset item can be viewed.
The default value for all reset items is “OFF”. To actually reset the selected item, use the <
and > keys to change the value from “OFF” to “ON”. Pressing the MENU key again, will
step back to the Reset menu. All reset items set to “ON” will only be reset once the Normal
Operating Mode is accessed again by pressing the MENU key for 3 seconds. The
following Reset menu items are available :
rSt.a Reset alarms. Use this reset item to reset or ignore all current alarms.
rSt.b Reset Battery status. Use this reset item to reset your current battery status (CEF,
State-of-charge and battery history). You can use this reset item after you have
installed a fresh battery of the same specifications as the previous one.
rSt.F
Reset Functions. This reset item can be used to reset all Function values to
factory default values.

7. Troubleshooting guideline
The monitor doesn't operate (no display) - Check monitor- and battery side
connections.
- Make sure the inline fuses are installed
and not blown.
- Check battery voltage. Battery might be
flat. Vbatt must be >8VDC.
- Try to restart the monitor by removing /
placing the fuses again.
- Current sense leads from the shunt are
reversed. Check the installation guide.
Problem Remedy or suggestion
Current readout gives wrong polarity
(positive current instead of negative when
discharging)
The monitor resets all the time - Check the wiring for corrosion and / or
loose contacts.
- Battery might be flat or defective.
No changes can be made in the Function
setup
- Check if the setup-lock is OFF (Function
F6.9)
“CHARGE” or “SYNCHRONIZE” keeps on
flashing
- Charge battery full (synchronize your
battery with the monitor)
- Check the Auto-sync parameters in
Functions F1.0, F1.1 and F1.2 for possible
wrong settings.
State-of-charge and/or time-to-go readout
not accurate
- Check if all current is flowing through the
shunt (the negative terminal of the battery
may only contain the wire going to the
battery-side of the shunt!).
- Current sense leads from the shunt are
reversed.
- Check all Battery properties Functions (F5)
- Check if battery monitor is synchronized.
- Battery is exhausted and needs
replacement
Display returns '- - - -' in temperature
readout
- Set battery monitor temperature to ambient
temperature of the battery. See F 1.4
Battery voltage readout is highly inaccurate - Check prescaler setting in Function F6.5
