6 Technical description
The battery monitor consists of a control unit and a display.
The control unit measures the data from a house battery and transmits the data to the display panel via the communi-
cation cable.
The battery monitor measures the flowing data:
• Battery voltage (V)
• Battery current (A)
• Battery state of charge (SoC)
The battery monitor can be connected to one or more house batteries that are connected in parallel with each oth-
er. If several house batteries are connected to the battery monitor, the monitor treats the batteries as one battery and
displays the technical values in total.
The battery monitor automatically switches to standby mode when the battery monitor is not in use and no current is
flowing.
