  • Page 3 QK-A016 Manual 1. Introduction The QK-A016 is a high precision battery monitor and can be used for boats, campers, caravans and other devices using a battery. The A016 measures the voltage, current, ampere-hours consumed and the remaining time at the current rate of discharge. It provides wide range of battery information. The programmable alarm allows user to setup the capacity/voltage warning buzzer.

    QK-A016 Manual 1. Determine a mounting location and mount the shunt. The shunt should be installed in a dry and clean place. 2. Remove all loads and charging sources from the battery before any other steps are taken. This is often accomplished by turning off a battery switch. If there are loads or chargers directly attached to the battery, they should be disconnected as well.

  • Page 5: Setting Up

    Quark-elec recommend starting at full (after the battery has been fully charged) unless you are unsure of the capacity of the battery. In this case the capacity (CAP) and High voltage (HIGH V) need to be setup.
