11 Connect short link cable to the shunt and then to the negative
terminal of the battery.
12 If the starter battery voltage is to be monitored then connect the
orange wire to the positive terminal of the starter battery.
A 1 amp fuse close to the starter battery will aford protection if a
fault occurs.
14 Press, and keep pressed, the
ILLUM
key until the word "Eng" is
shown on the display. Release the
ILLUM
key and adjust the
capacity shown using the and keys to match the value shown
on your battery (see the Engineering section below for more details).
15 Press the V&A key to change to adjusting the battery temperature,
and adjust it using the and keys to match the estimated
o
average battery temperature within 10 C.
16 Press
ILLUM
to finish Engineering settings.
17 Do NOT put the battery on charge immediately.
18 Apply a load to the battery by switching on lights or instruments
and wait for a few minutes for the BM1/BM2 to "learn" the battery's
characteristics and to show a steady reading before starting
charging.
13 Finally, connect the red wire to the POSITIVE terminal of the battery
to complete the electrical installation. The BM1/BM2 will now begin
assessing the battery state, using its factory default values. The
default values must be set to the values appropriate to the new
installation as follows.
