Resource Information State of Charge (SOC) http://bluesea.com/viewresource/1324 AC Current Measurement http://bluesea.com/viewresource/86 Warning and Caution Symbols WARNING: The symbol refers to possible injury to the user or significant damage to the meter if the user does not follow the procedures. CAUTION: The symbol refers to restrictions and rules with regard to preventing damage to the meter. -
Page 3: Mounting Considerations
Mounting Considerations M2 Digital Meters have three mounting methods: Surface mount, Flat panel mount, and 360 panel mount. When surface mounted per instructions the unit face is waterproof to IP66. Flat panel and 360 mounting systems are not waterproof. The unit should not be flat panel or 360 mounted if used in an exposed location. -

Page 11: Current Alarm
Voltage alarms can be set for high (Hi) or low (Lo) voltage conditions. Current Alarm The current alarm can only be set for over current conditions. State-of-Charge (SoC) Alarm (PN 1830 Only) The state-of-charge alarm can only be set if the state of charge is below a certain threshold. DC Alarm Dly An alarm delay can be specified so that alarms don’t immediately trigger. - Page 12 Notification The Notification setting controls whether or not a notification is displayed when a relay is activated. Notifications will show which relay threshold was surpassed and for which channel. Scroll to Notification and press Select to change the setting. Press the LEFT ← or RIGHT → arrow buttons to choose either ON or OFF.

AUTO dim mode. In this mode the meter will automatically dim after two minutes when the ambient light is low (night mode). When the light comes back on, the meter will revert to its normal brightness. Units (1830 Only) Select either °F or °C. These are the units used to specify the battery temperature. - Page 14 However, any associated alarm or relay settings are still activate. To de-active the alarm or relay, disable them in the Alarm Setup and Relay Setup menus. Set State-of-Charge (SoC) to FULL (1830 Only) When this option is selected, the meter will consider the battery’s present State-of-Charge to be FULL. To do this, scroll to Ok and press Select. The screen will then return to the meter summary display.
- Page 15 Full Chrg Volts (PN 1830 Only) This setting indicates the voltage at which the battery is considered to be fully charged. The available range is 0.1 V to 70.0V. This should be set to the absorption voltage of your charger. If you don’t know the absorption voltage, you can figure the absorption voltage out by observing the output voltage of the charger once it enters the absorption phase.
