OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Battery/Tank Monitor BTM2

Thank you for purchasing the Battery / Tank Monitor BTM2.
This gives

you

one of the most advanced and accurate battery / tank monitors available on the

market.

Battery monitor:

You can see at a glance:

- the current state of charge

charge and discharge currents

- the battery voltage

- the

remaining operating time until the adjustable capacity alarm of the main battery

- the

voltage of up to 2 additional batteries

- the currents of a solar system and the charger (optional)

and have the possibility

- connect a second shunt SHP to measure e.g. the current of the solar system.
- connect a philippi charger ACE to monitor the charging process.

- set an alarm when the capacity of the main battery falls below a threshold

- set

an alarm when the voltage falls below or exceeds a threshold.

- connect the monitor to an NMEA 2000 network and display the battery and tank levels on the

plotter.

Tank monitor:

You can see at a glance

- the current fill levels of up to 4 tanks

and have the possibility to

- set an alarm threshold for each tank (full or empty alarm)
