You can turn off this feature by setting this value to zero. Default 0.3A is recommended for best zero
reading stability.
TestMode
– Test Mode is designed for verification of external circuits at the factory. This can be useful
for testing outputs trigger settings as it will slowly cycle SOC% down and back up repeatedly.
Out Mode
– Controls the function of the optional output terminals. Default mode = 0
and is common for most setups. Mode 1 turns the optional output terminals into a 3 bit
register. The 3 bit register signals SOC level in 8 bin ary values between 000 and 111.
SensType
– Sensor Type. This is the hall-effect sensor type which is installed and set at the factory.
Options are 1000A or 2000A. Refer to the default values at the beginning of this user guide.
CurScale
– Current Scale. This function is used to modify the amps counted by the internal hall-effect
sensor. It is useful if you notice that the SoC reading is too high or too low. It can be ad/- 5.00%
IdleLoad
– Idle Load (mA). This setting represents the constant idle load current powering the SoC Meter
and BMS system. This can be measured with a digital multi-meter in DC amperage mode in series with the
SoC NEGATIVE REFERENCE WIRE. Allowed range is 0mA – 200mA.
Cell Count
– This setting must be set to the number of cells in series. Example: 12V battery = 4, 24V
battery = 8, 36v battery = 12, etc.
Low Voltage Cutoff
– Enable (1) or Disable (0) low voltage cutoff, AKA battery reserve.
Calib..?
– Calibrate Zero Point
This function performs a “zero-point” calibration. This is called a “zero-point” calibration because the
current flowing in or out is at zero state.
Before performing this operation, you must ensure that the
battery is disconnected from any loads both charging and discharging so current is not flowing in or out of
the battery. Failure to do so will cause the SOC meter to have an inaccurate zero-point calibration!
Setting this to Yes will perform the zero-point calibration when the enter button is pressed. It takes a few
seconds to determine the zero-point current levels so that the current sensor can properly distinguish
current direction and value. It’s critical that there is no current flowing in or out of the battery at this
point. It’s recommended to disconnect any loads both charging and discharging from the battery before
entering zero-point calibration. There is no input on this screen, once the zero-point calibration is
complete the meter will automatically return to normal user mode.
