TANK & BATTERYMONITOR TBM
Page 4 V1.1 - May 2010
1. INTRODUCTION
Dear customer,
congratulations - in your Hanse yacht is a tank & battery monitor TBM integrated in the panel. This digital unit is
state of the art in tank & battery monitoring technology. In the basic version you have an overview of the volta-
ges of all batteries and tanklevels.
On the large, illuminated display you can read:
x the levels of your tanks
x the voltage of each battery
If you`ve chosen the option “Battery management” with an active shunt SHA built in you will get additional
informations of:
x the current charge status of the service battery
x load/discharge current
x the remaining running time until the battery will be empty
You have the possibility of adjusting an alarm threshold:
x either if the voltage of the starter or the bow battery is low,
x or if the capacity of the main battery is low (only with option “Battery management”)
The software of the tank & battery monitor TBM supervises the tank levels and the voltages of all batteries. If
an optional active shunt SHA is built in you can read the load/discharge current and the remaining capacity of
your battery. Every cycle the value of the capacity of the battery and the charging efficiency factor (CEF) will be
stated and corrected to get the most exact value of the capacity.
Please, read the Instruction Manual carefully and follow all instructions before putting the
equipment in operation.
1.1. PURPOSE
The battery monitors of the TBM series can only be used with a shunt SHA 150 or SHA 600 for low voltage
purposes DC 8-30V (model TBM 48V: DC 12-60V). They were designed for the use on yachts or camper vans
and must be used in an enclosed environment which is protected against rain, moisture, dust and
condensation. Don`t use the TBM battery monitors in places where there could be danger of explosion by
gas or dust.
The TBM can show the capacity of the service-battery only if an active shunt SHA 150, 300 or 600 is built in
and connected.
