General Description
Thanks for choosing TBB product.
The BM series battery monitor features microprocessor controlled combined with high resolution
measuring system for Lead Acid battery voltage and charge/discharge current. With built in
software, BM series can calculated consumed AH/KWH and remaining AH/KWH, and display
battery voltage and battery current as well.
BM could record all battery activities since the first installation (max 200 records). Apart from
discharging and charging, multiple other factors are considered including battery size, age ratio
of battery etc. With shunt, even the smallest leakage current can be detected and recorded to
guarantee the accuracy.
Compared with conventional indicating meters, small current can be measured and read exactly
with this device. With this feature, latent consumers (insulation fault, wrong connections,
standby unit etc) can be recognized immediately. Meantime, through additional sensor second
battery voltage can be measured and displayed.
With the optional DOD protection unit, battery low voltage protection level can be programmed
and alarm cam will be sent once reaching the limit to avoid battery damage due to deep
discharge. In the meantime, it can be used to drive the battery protection device to shut off the
battery against further discharge.
Battery voltage of service battery
Battery current : charging and discharging
Battery residual capacity in AH
Battery capacity in %
Programmable for protection point
RS485 is available
Available model: 100A, 200A and 400A.

Installation Request
Work temperature: -20～60℃Storage temperature:-40～85℃
Cooling: Natural cooling Humility: 0%-95% non-condensing
Install the unit at the location where has well ventilation.
Recommended working temperature is 0～25℃
Recommended humility is around 50%
Installation
Professional electrical technician is required for the installation.
Please make sure BM is powered off during the installation which means the connection between
Cable-BM/03 and Cable-Starter-Batt-Volt/01 BAT+ / Cable-Service-Batt-Volt/01 S-BAT+ is the last
step of the installation.
Please make sure all of the equipments are powered off during the installation.
The location of SS/SH is recommended to be as close as possible to the battery. Shorter cable
between SS/SH and battery is better.
