6.2 Battery bank 2 properties
F2.0 Battery bank 2 function. Set the function for the battery bank 2 (+B2) input.
Default: DISABLE Range: see table 9
Table 9
Function Description
DISABLE Input is not used.
AUX.BAT Use input for monitoring an additional battery bank.
MAIN.BAT Use input for measuring the voltage of the Main battery bank. This can be useful
for systems with a long supply wire to the +B1 input. In order to avoid
measurement errors due to voltage drops across the combined supply/sense wire,
the voltage can also be measured independently via +B2 or +B3.
MIDPNT Use input for midpoint or center voltage measurement in 24V and 48V systems.
For more information on midpoint voltage measurement and setup, please see
appendix 1 in the online version of this manual, available at
www.tbs-
electronics.nl/downloads
KEYSW. Use input to connect to an external key switch to turn off the CDU display. This can
be used to mimic a turned off battery monitor when it is installed in the dashboard
of an EV. The CDU display will still temporarily turn on when a button is pressed on
the front panel. The active shunt keeps on operating in the back-ground. A voltage
< 1V turns off the display and a voltage of > 1.5V turns it on.
HOURCNT Use input to control hour counting (Total- and Maintenance hours). When the
applied voltage is >1.5V, hour counting will start. When the voltage is < 1V, hour
counting will be paused again. This option can be used to accumulate the
operating hours of the complete system, such as a forklift truck.
BKLIGHT Use input to enable or disable the display backlight of the CDU. When the applied
voltage is > 1.5V, the backlight is enabled. When the voltage is < 1V, the backlight
is disabled.
