3.4in 87.5mm Additional Components RJ45 Communication Cable The RJ45 Communication Cable (5m / 16.4 ft) is used to connect the monitoring screen to the battery bank for power supply and data transmission. Self-Tapping Screws (4) The Self-tapping Screws (M2.9 x 13) are used fix the monitoring screen on the mounting surface.
Choosing an Installation Location Please choose a clean, dry, protected, and easily accessible indoor location to install the monitoring screen. It is recommend- ed to mount the monitoring screen at eye level for easy access of operational controls and battery information. The RJ45 Communication Port is accessible from the back of the monitoring screen.

If the monitoring screen is used with a parallel battery bank, the communication between paralleled batteries must be enabled. Please connect the RS485 LINK Communication Ports of the former batteries to the RS485 UP Communication Ports of the latter ones using CAT5 (or above) Ethernet straight through cables (not included).
Please avoid too high a voltage difference between paralleled batteries, despite the auto-balancing function, to avoid triggering the over-current protection. In parallel battery banks, the copper cables between each battery should be of equal length to ensure that all batteries in the system can work equally together.

The present voltage indicates the real-time terminal voltage of the battery. If the monitoring screen is used with a battery bank, the present voltage will be the average terminal voltage of the batteries in the battery bank. Present Current (A) The present current indicates the real-time current flowing through the battery or the battery bank.

Self-Heating Function Status The self-heating function status indicates the operation status of the self-heating function. If the self-heating function is not available or not operating, the self-heating function status will be ‘0’. If the self-heating function is available and operating, the self-heating function status will be ‘H’.
