The Volt Meter – Measures the current battery voltage output. Most appliances will require at least 12.2v from the batteries other-
wise they will not work.
•
Amp Meter – This shows how many Amps you are currently using. The OPUS® has 2 x 100ah AGM batteries. This gives you 100
usable amps for off-site power.
•
Battery Indicator – This shows the total capacity remaining in your batteries. If you are showing 50% on your battery meter then
your batteries will not put out the 12.2v required for most accessories to operate.
•
Ensuring you keep a close eye on all 3 gauges will help to make sure you are fully informed on the current performance of your 12v
battery powered electrical system.
•
The Upper Number shows what Voltage (power level) the batteries are currently reading. It is the strength of the current flowing from the batteries.
•
If this number were to drop beneath 12.0v with no load (i.e. no accessories running on the OPUS®) then it is highly likely all the appliances inside your
camper would stop working as the batteries are not able to put out enough voltage to keep these appliances running.
•
Do not take a reading when an appliance, such as a fridge, is running. It will give a false reading. Voltage may appear below 12.0 if the batteries are
under load (fridge is actively running).
•
The lower number shows the quantity of energy you are currently utilizing from the batteries.
•
If you imagine a water tank holding 100gallons and you drain 4 gallons an hour (gallons would represent amps), then you can tell how quickly under
current usage conditions your batteries will be fully drained.
•
Remember your appliances all cycle at different rates so this number becomes very important for estimating battery life.
