Battery -Monitor BLS
Thank you for buying the Battery Monitor BLS. This digital unit is state of the art in
Battery monitoring.
Battery monitor:
On the large, illuminated display you can read:
• the current state of charge
• charge and discharge currents
• the battery voltage
• the remaining operating time until the adjustable capacity alarm of the main battery
• the voltage of up to 2 additional batteries
You have the possibility of adjusting an alarm threshold
• if the capacity of the main battery falls below a certain threshold
• when a voltage threshold is exceeded or an undervoltage occurs
The battery monitor BLS constantly monitors the voltage and current of the main battery and detects
the full charge as well as its complete discharge. The values for battery capacity and charging
efficiency (CEF) are adjusted at each cycle to provide the most accurate capacity indication possible.

Page 2: Scope Of Delivery
Battery-Monitor BLS 1.1 Purpose The battery monitor BLS can only be operated with low voltage DC 8-32V in conjunction with the shunt SHE-300. It is designed for use on yachts and may only be operated in closed rooms that are protected from rain, humidity, dust and condensation. -
Page 3: Quality Assurance
Both the compliance with the operating instructions and the conditions and methods for installation, operation, use and maintenance of the battery monitor BLS cannot be monitored by philippi electrical systems gmbh. Therefore, we assume no responsibility or liability for any loss, damage or expense resulting from improper installation or improper operation. - Page 4 Battery-Monitor BLS Therefore, the Shunt SHE 300 should be permanently connected to the battery. If the monitor is switched off, the shunt SHE goes into sleep mode and the current consumption of the shunt drops to 2 mA. This does not represent a special load for the battery. If the battery system remains for more than 3 months without charge, the shunt should also be disconnected from the battery.
- Page 5 Battery-Monitor BLS Install the active shunt SHE 300 as close as possible to the service battery. Avoid however, that the shunt has contact with the plus connection of the batteries. Connect the B- marked side of the shunt to the negative terminal of the main battery with a short, thick cable (35-70 mm²). Connect the negative pole of the up to two starter batteries to the side of the shunt marked V-.

- Page 7 The communication port "LIN" of the interface ACE-LIN is connected to the connection "LIN" of the shunt SHE 300 and the monitor BLS via a 1-wire connection cable. This can be decided according to the local installation conditions. The order of the devices on the "LIN" line does not matter. Since the "LIN"...

The factory default is 95%. The CEF is automatically adjusted in operation by means of a moving averaging over the last 4 cycles. 4.3.6 Cycle depth The cycle depth indicates by what% value a battery must be discharged and charged for a charge cycle to be counted.

Otherwise, only the battery screen is available. The lower buttons have the following functions: Batteries: If a shunt SHE 300 is connected, the charge status of the battery system can be read.
- Page 13 Battery-Monitor BLS The battery page displays the main battery across the shunt on the left. The arrow shows the current and battery voltage. If the arrow is green, the battery is charged, a red arrow indicates the current discharge. In the right section of the battery screen, up to two battery voltages of the additional batteries appear.
