10.2 Battery Setup

ACT CAPDEFAULT: 220AHRESOLUTION: 10AHRANGE: 0-3000AHDESCRIPTION: The Actual Capacity is the present state ofcharge of battery bank 1 when the monitor is installed / setup. Ideally the battery will be fully charged and this value willinitially equal the maximum capacity ‘MAX CAP’. Use the‘RST CAPACITY’ function before adjusting.

MAX CAPDEFAULT: 220AHRESOLUTION: 10AHRANGE: 0-3000AHDESCRIPTION: The Maximum capacity of the battery.

RST VOLTDEFAULT: 13.5V DCRESOLUTION: 0.1V DCRANGE: 0-32V DCDESCRIPTION: The charging battery reset voltage. This setting works synergistically with the ‘RSTAMPS’ settings.

RST AMPSDEFAULT: 9ARESOLUTION: 1ARANGE: 0-450ADESCRIPTION: This should be changed to 4% of the battery bank Amp-hour rating. I.e. a 220Amp-hour battery bank = 220*0.04 = 8.8. Therefore use 9 Amps.

CHARGE EFFDEFAULT: 0.85RESOLUTION: 0.01RANGE: 0-1.00DESCRIPTION: Charging Efficiency is set at 85% i.e. the battery will only accept 85% of thecharge current. This is a difficult parameter to set as after 75% recharge, the efficiency will fall off to0% at full charge. The overall efficiency will change with temperature, battery condition, chargingcurrent/voltage and discharge level. Trial and error with general usage is the only way to determinethis value.

11 Peukert’s Discharge Rates Calculation

The meter uses Peukert’s Equation to calculate battery capacity. Peukert’s equation corrects forbattery inefficiencies and converts the discharge current to an effective discharge related to batterycapacity. Most marine batteries are capacity rated at the 20-hour rate. Ie: A battery discharged for 20hours to a terminal voltage of 10.5v = Amp hours.

C = A x T20 C = 5 x 20 = 100 Amp Hours.C = Battery capacity A = Amps discharge T20 = Time20 hours

Peukert’s EquationA x n x T = C

C = is battery capacity at 20hrs dischargeA = is discharge current in AmpsT = is discharge time in hoursn = is related to battery construction & is relatively constant for any given battery with in a similardischarge time.

Exponent “n” can be calculated for any given battery bank by comparing two discharge cycles.First fully charge battery bank from shore power/genset & discharge at 50% of expected average load(Note time & amps) to 10.5volt terminal voltage (12v system). Recharge fully & discharge at 150% ofexpected average load. Use the following equation.

n = Exponentt1 = The hours of first discharge at amps A 1t2 = The hours of 2nd discharge at amps A 2

Example:

8G4D 180A/HrDischarge 1 = 24 hours @ 7.8 AmpsDischarge 2 = 8 hours @ 20.7 Amps

Program this exponent in to the meters Peukerts setting.

Note. A 0.01 change to Peukerts Exponent can make a significant change to the calculateddischarge. Therefore Peukerts Exponent should be adjusted in small steps.

For example, 100 Amps for 1 hour = 100Amp-hours. Using a Peukert’s exponent of 1.25, A x n x T =100 x 1.25 x 1 = 316 Amp-hours. Thus a 25% exponent change makes 316% change.

Calculating exponent “n” from discharge cycles is the only way to achieve an accurate dischargeexponent. This meter comes with a factory set exponent of 1.25, which is a “rough” average for deepcycle flooded lead acid. If you do not wish to calculate “n” use Table 1 to select a typical “n” for yourbattery type.

If after some time or use (6-12months) the accuracy seems to be degrading (possibly due to batterycondition, temperature, age – charging regime) it will be necessary to recalculate “n”.

12 Tank Calibration Procedure

12.1 Custom Mode

Custom calibration mode allows the user to manually enter the required sender output voltages foreach marking point. This avoids the need of emptying the tank and then re-filling it. However thevalues must have been previously recorded for the tank and sender used.

Step 1. Tank Calculations

Determine the tank volume.

a) Total TANKN Volume = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Step 2. Tank Setup

a) Enter the ‘TANK SETUP MENU’b) Set ‘DISP’ to the desired display type.c) Set ‘UNITS’ to the desired unitsd) Set ‘TANKN’ volume to that used in STEP 1a.

a) Enter the ‘TANK CALIBRATION MENU’b) Set ‘TANK’ as the tank to be calibrated.c) Select ‘CAL TYPE’ as ‘CUSTOM’.

Step 3. Marking

Each marking point will contain the previously calibrated values or default values if the meter hasbeen reset.

12.2 Marking Mode

Marking calibration mode allows the user to calibrate the meter for the first time and establish themarking value for future reference. This method requires the tank to be empty then gradually filledwith a predetermined volume of liquid until the tank is full. The sender output voltages can then berecorded for future reference.

Step 1. Empty the tank

Ensure the tank is empty.

Step 2. Tank Calculations

Complete the calculation below.

a) Total TANKN Volume = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _b) TANKN Volume divided by 8 = _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Note. This is the amount of liquid that will be used to calibrate each marking point.

Step 3. Tank Setup

a) Enter the ‘TANK SETUP MENU’b) Set ‘DISP’ to the desired display type.c) Set ‘UNITS’ to the desired unitsd) Set ‘TANKN’ volume to that used in STEP 2a.

e) Enter the ‘TANK CALIBRATION MENU’f) Set ‘TANK’ as the tank to be calibrated.g) Select ‘CAL TYPE’ as ‘MARKING’.

Step 4. Marking

Select the first marking point ‘E’

E: The sender output voltage will be displayed under the flashing cursor.Press Button ‘T’ to set this marking point.The cursor will automatically move to the next marking point

1: Fill the tank with the volume of liquid calculated in STEP 2b.Wait for the sender output voltage displayed under the flashing cursor to stabilise.Press Button ‘T’ to set this marking point.The cursor will automatically move to the next marking point

2: Fill the tank with the volume of liquid calculated in STEP 2b.Wait for the sender output voltage displayed under the flashing cursor to stabilise.Press Button ‘T’ to set this marking point.The cursor will automatically move to the next marking point

...: Repeat for marking points 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and FULL.

Note. Button ‘V/A’ & Button ‘C’ can be used to manually move through the marking points.

Step 5. Full

At this stage the total volume of liquid specified in STEP 2a should have been put in to the tank.

It is recommended to use the Notes section of this manual to record the sender output voltage foreach marking point. In the event the meter settings are lost, these can be manually entered to avoidthe need of emptying and then filling the tank.
