LCD Battery Computer 100

LCD Battery Computer 400
Precise and complete battery control for all commercial types of lead storage batteries in vehicles and boats.
The VOTRONIC LCD Battery Computer S calculates the exact charging state of the battery and displays the charging state
like a "fuel gauge for the battery". In contrast to simple ampere-hour meters, the residual capacity will be determined in
ampere-hours (Ah) or the residual charge in % by means of programmed characteristic diagrams of batteries and will be
displayed as charging state.
Furthermore, the unit is equipped with a programmable terminal for connection or disconnection of consumers or further
energy supply units, depending on the charging state of the battery.
Apart from this, the LCD Battery Computer S provides the display of the battery voltage (V) of a second battery (starter
battery). Due to its various display functions, it allows a centralized supervision of the consumers as well as of the most
important processes at the battery at any time. So, it allows quick reactions to undesirable developments or to take
corrective measures in good time.
The precision measuring shunt for detection of the battery current being provided with the unit is extraordinary robust, very
exactly and shows extreme overload capacity (also refer to "Technical Data").
The dimensions of the unit are perfectly adapted to the VOTRONIC modular system. The VOTRONIC modular system
includes the tank display units (fresh and sewage water as well as feces), the LCD series (solar display, voltmeter, ammeter
and thermometer), as well as the switch and fuse panels.
Please read the mounting instructions and operating manual including the safety regulations
completely prior to starting connection and start-up.
Installation and Connection:
Display Unit
The small mounting depth (approx. 27 mm) of the electronic system allows flush mounting into furniture boards to ensure,
that an optimum installation place can always be chosen. If possible, the display should always be installed at eye-level in
the living area to ensure ease of operation and good visibility. The display can also be inclined to ensure best legibility. The
clear opening of the cutout is min. 71 x 66 mm to ensure safe alignment of the front panel. Please use the delivered drilling
jig, which has been designed to consider combination with further display panels.
If possible, the rear cutout opening should be covered with electrically nonconducting material to ensure efficient
protection of the electronic system and full utilization of the storage space, which might be located behind.
The delivered control cable of 5 m length is used to connect the display unit to the delivered current measuring shunt. The
connection is executed ready to be plugged in, and the cable should be laid according to the safety instructions.
The length of the control cable is 5 m. If this length is not sufficient for connection of the connection unit, the cable
extension of 5 m length, order No. 2005, being available as accessory can be used. The total cable length is then 10 m.
Measuring Shunt
Any battery current should flow over the measuring shunt. Therefore, it is to be installed directly near the battery
(batteries). Observe that all consumers and charging devices for the battery must be led over the shunt in order to allow a
registration of any battery activity. Battery systems are to be connected according to the plan.

Summary of Contents for Votronic 100 S

  • Page 1 Precise and complete battery control for all commercial types of lead storage batteries in vehicles and boats. The VOTRONIC LCD Battery Computer S calculates the exact charging state of the battery and displays the charging state like a “fuel gauge for the battery”. In contrast to simple ampere-hour meters, the residual capacity will be determined in ampere-hours (Ah) or the residual charge in % by means of programmed characteristic diagrams of batteries and will be displayed as charging state.
  • Page 2 - 2 - Battery Systems: Except of the measuring shunt, no further connection should exist at the negative pole (-) of the battery or at the negative pole of the entire battery system! This concerns consumers, vehicle ground, as well as chargers.
  • Page 3: Connection Plan

    - 3 - Connection Plan Except of the measuring shunt, no further connection should exist at the negative pole (-) of the battery or at the negative pole of the entire battery system! This concerns consumers, vehicle ground, as well as chargers.
  • Page 4: Initial Start-Up

    - 4 - Initial Start-up The battery computer is ready for operation, as soon as all electric connections are made at the measuring shunt and the connection to the display unit had been made. Basic Setting: The existing system voltage (12 V or 24 V) must be set. The used battery type (gel, AGM, liquid acid) must be set.
  • Page 5 - 5 - Activation, Deactivation The LCD Battery Computer S requires continuous current supply to ensure continuous capacity measurement. The unit is optimized for extremely current saving operation and offers three operation modes. Stand-by: During stand-by mode the display is empty. If the terminal is activated, “ON” will be displayed, and if it is switched-off, “OFF”...
  • Page 6 - 6 - Displays Battery Computers Use the buttons 1 and 2 to display the next or previous page of the measuring and display values. Voltage: Display of the voltage of the board battery (B1) and of a second battery (B2), such as the starter battery, is possible.
  • Page 7 - 7 - Settings Battery Computer: The menu for settings is called by pressing and holding button 3 for more than 3 seconds. The buttons 1 and 2 are used to set the values. In the menu, the button 3 is used to save the setting and to jump to the next menu item.
  • Page 8: General Information

    - 8 - General Information: Once a year: Check the connecting screws at the measuring shunt for tightness. Check the connection cable for correct contact and damage. Aged batteries: Lead batteries are subject to wear, which will be growing with the age of the battery, the number of charging/discharging cycles, the rate of discharge (frequent total discharge) and other factors, such as extreme temperatures, vibration etc.
