OPERATION & MONITORING
ARK BATTERIES ARE EQUIPPED WITH A DISPLAY FOR MONITORING PURPOSES. CALCULATIONS ARE
MADE BY MEANS OF AN INTERNAL SHUNT. THIS DISPLAY INCLUDES:
1.
BATTERY VOLTS
2.
CHARGE/DISCHARGE AMPS
3.
CHARGE/DISCHARGE WATTS
4.
TIME REMAINING
5.
AH REMAINING
6.
CHARGE INDICATION (BLINKING BACKLIGHT)
7.
DISCHARGE INDICATION (SOLID BACKLIGHT)
NOTE:
THE DISPLAYED % ON A BATTERY IS NOT ACCURATE UNTIL THE BATTERY HAS BEEN FULLY
CHARGED. THE METER WILL SELF-CALIBRATE WHEN FULL CHARGE IS REACHED.
TO MANUALLY CALIBRATE THE METER ON A NEW BATTERY, CHARGE BATTERY TO ABSORB VOLTAGE AS
OUTLINED ON PAGE 7. MAINTAIN ABSORB VOLTAGE UNTIL CHARGE CURRENT IS LESS THAN 5% OF
BATTERY CAPACITY. PRESSING AND HOLDING THE ‘UP’ ( ) BUTTON CALIBRATES SOC% TO 100%.
PRESSING AND HOLDING THE ‘DOWN’ ( ) BUTTON CALIBRATES THE BATTERY TO 0%.
THERE ARE NO SETTINGS TO BE MADE ON THE METER!
