1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.1 Input Voltage & Current Handing Limitations

2. WIRING, CONNECTIONS & APPLYING POWER

3. DLSPLAY SCREEN

CAUTION: Shorting a rechargeable battery or Watt Meter connected to a rechargeable battery can supply huge currents, causing fire,

explosions. personal injury, and damage to equipment. Ensure that all wiring and connections are rated to handle the unput or output

current, and are properly assembled for each application.

The Watt Meter is designed to be safe in systems using less than 60 V and carrying currents up to130A. CAUTION: Exceeding these

limits will damage the Watt Meter and may cause personal injury.

3.2.3 (Energy) Watt- hours Wh

The displayed value is the total energy delivered in Watt-hours since the startup screen ended. lt is measured on the LOAD side .For

accurate results, be careful not to interrupt the SOURCE connection to the Watt Meter during an energy measurement.

3.2.4 (Charge) Amp-hours Ah

The displayed value is the total charge in Amp- hours (x1000=mAh) delivered since the startup screen ended. It is measured on the

LOAD side. For accurate results, be careful not to interrupt the SOURCE connection to the Watt Meter during a charge measurement.

3.2.5 (Power ) Watts & Peak Watts W,Wp

The displayed value is the average power delivered in watts (=Volts X Amps) over the last screen update interval. The displayed Peak

Watts value (Wp) is the maximum power drawn on the LOAD side, since the startup screen ended. Watts values are measured on the

LOAD side.

The Measurement Screen layout: Amps,Volts,watts & “Data Queue”

The “Data Queue” shows:

Ah,Wh,Ap, Vm, Wp in sequence.

3.2.2 (Voltage )Volts & Minimum Volts V, Vm

The displayed Volts value is the average voltage over the last screen update interval.The displayed Minimum Volts value (Vm) is the

minimum voltage (or “sag”) measured on the SOURCE side, since the startup screen ended. The Volts value is measured on the

SOURCE side.

3.2.1 (Current)Amps & Peak Amps A, Ap

Only current from SOURCE to LOAD is measured. Amps value displayed is the average current over the last screen update interval.

Peak Amps value (AP) displayed is the maximum current drawn from the LOAD side ,since the meter’s startup. Peaks lasting only a

fraction of a second, can be captured .Supplying the auxiliary power with a voltage greater than the meter is measuring removes the

meter’s operation current from measurements. To reduce meter heating, measure currents over 65 Amps for reduced time and

consider using connectors which can handle large current .

3.2 Measurement Screen

The measurement screen continuously displays Amps, Volts and Watts. All other measured values are presented sequentially, every

two seconds, in the “Data-Queue” position of the display. Data values are identified by their units (Ah, Wh, Ap,Vm, Wp). All measure-

ment screen values are updated every 0.4 seconds.

3.1 Startup Screen

Each time power is applied across the Watt Meter

Leads (or auxiliary power connector ) a startup screen with Logo is briefly displayed and peaks, minimums, Ah & Wh are reset to 0.

Then the display changes to the measurement screen.

Warning: Loose connections can cause component damage! Only switch power between meter & LOAD. The Red SOURCE wire

goes to positive (+)battery or other device terminals and black to Negative (-).User is responsible for attaching connectors rated to

handle the voltage and current expected in user’s application. Qualified individuals should make sure any high current connections.

Verify there are no exposed wires or connectors that may short circuit before connecting a battery or power source to the Watt Meter.

Only use female connectors on batteries. By connecting an auxiliary battery (e.g. a receiver battery )of 4.8-60V to the SOURCE 3-pin

connector, the Watt Meter can measure down to 0V.

4. BUSING Watt Meter You can think of the Watt Meter as a set of jumper wires. Connect it in the same way and you can measure what the jumper wires are connected to. Like jumper wires, the Watt Meter is essentially a direct connection between same colored SOURCE and LOAD wires, i.e. both the SOURCE and LOAD leads are electrically “hot” when a battery is connected to either side. Current flows from SOURCE to LOAD.
