Page 5: Introduction
TECH button and accessing the 02 Revisions menu. If the ME-RC remote revision is not 2.0 or higher, refer to one of the two options below to obtain the required revision. 1) If the ME-BMK is being installed at the same time as a newly purchased MagnaSine Inverter and ME-RC remote system; contact your MagnaSine dealer to obtain the ME-RC with revision 2.0 or higher. 2) If the ME-BMK is being installed into an installation with a previously installed MagnaSine inverter and ME-RC remote system; contact MagnaSine about ME-RC upgrade options. ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd... - Page 6 For example: If you have a 100 litre water tank and you remove water from the tank with a 10 litre bucket. The water level indicator would show the available water has decreased by 10%; leaving 90% of the water still available. If this was a battery bank, then you would know that 10 percent of the battery’s capacity has been used and its State of Charge (SOC) is now 90%. ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd...

Page 7: Installation
2.1.1 List of supplied components in the ME-BMK (see figure 2-1): • Installation and Operation manual • Sense Module (with two #8 x 3/4” Phillips mounting screws) • 500A/50mv DC Shunt (with two #8 x 3/4” Phillips mounting screws)* • 3 metre Communications cable • 1.5 metre Twisted-pair (blue and orange color) signal wires 2.1.2 List of other Required Equipment and Materials: • MagnaSine Inverter with network port (ME, MS or RD Series) • ME-RC (MagnaSine ME-RC remote display with revision ≥ 2.0) • Batteries (with appropriately sized cables) • Short (~457mm) battery cable (to connect shunt to battery negative) • In-line fuse holder (with 2-amp DC fuse) • DC Breaker (or DC fuse and disconnect) for inverter • Phone-splitter (if using multiple network devices) 2.1.3 Tools Required to install the ME-BMK: • Flat-blade screwdrivers (1/4” and 1/8” blades) • #2 Phillips screwdriver • 9/16” open-end wrench or adjustable crescent wrench ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd... -

Page 9: Installation Procedure
Info: For the ME-BMK to monitor all load currents, all DC loads - including the inverter - must be connected to the load side of the shunt. 2. Wire the other side of the DC Shunt (battery side) to the battery negative terminal. Connect cables/hardware to the shunt exactly as shown in figure 2-2. 3. Using an appropriate sized cable, wire the inverter’s DC positive terminal to the load side of an appropriate DC disconnect/overcurrent protection device (i.e. DC Circuit Breaker or DC disconnect and fuse). 4. Open the DC circuit breaker (or remove the fuse) and wire its other side to the positive terminal of the battery bank. Figure 2-2, DC Shunt Connections ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd... -
Page 10: Figure 2-3, Sense Module Connections
6. When all the connections are made and checked, plug the 4-port terminal block into the sense module and then close the DC circuit breaker (or DC disconnect) to supply power to the inverter and sense module. 7. Immediately after applying DC power, the LED on the sense module should come on as the unit goes through a power-up self-test. After the initial self-test completes, the LED should be on green. If so, your battery monitor system is now ready for set-up; if not, please refer to the troubleshooting section. Figure 2-3, Sense Module Connections ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd... -
Page 11: Network Connection With Multiple Devices
“MagnaSine Net” or “network” port, problems in a cable or a device can be easily isolated; and if there is a cable failure to one device, it does not bring down all the other devices. Figure 2-4, Multiple Network Devices - Star Configuration • Daisy-Chain Configuration – In the daisy chain arrangement, the network devices are linked in series (see figure 2-5). If using this configuration, the ME-AGS must be the first device connected to the inverter’s “MagnaSine Net” or “network” port - then followed by the ME-BMK.

Page 12: Setup
3.1 Accessing the Charge Efficiency Menu Item On the ME-RC remote control, press the METER pushbutton and rotate the ‘SELECT’ knob until the display shows the 05 BM: SETUP menu. Once the 05 BM: SETUP menu is displayed, press the ‘SELECT’ knob to access the Charge Efficiency setting (see figure 3-1). Figure 3-1, Accessing the Charge Efficiency Menu Item Info: For additional information on navigating the remote display, see the ME-RC Owner’s Manual (PN: 64-0003). Info: See figure 4-1, METER Menu Map (ME-BMK Displays) for a complete map of the menu items and adjustable settings available for the ME-BMK using the ME-RC remote control. ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd... -
Page 13: Adjusting The Charge Efficiency Menu Item
When the 03 Batt Amphrs menu is displayed, press the ‘SELECT’ knob to display the present 03 Batt Amphrs setting. Usually battery capacity ratings tend to be optimistic and decrease at lower tem- peratures, so this setting should be less than the published 20-hour Amp-Hour (AH) capacity of the battery bank. After determining the 20-hour AH capacity, adjust this setting slightly on the low side (a smaller value). Info: For more information on this setting, see the ME-RC Owner’s Manual (PN: 64-0003) ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd... -

Page 15: Operation
Info: When charging from a generator (non-inverter topology) and deeply concerned about the cost of fuel; a balance should be considered between the use of fuel against charging batteries to 100% SOC to maintain the full service life of a battery. Batteries discharged to 50% SOC and normally recharged to 85-90% SOC would be an efficient compromise between fuel cost and battery life. Trying to restore the last 10-15% for a full battery charge requires a long time - typically several hours. ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd... -
Page 16: Meter Menu Items And Settings
Info: Try to limit battery discharging to 50% of capacity (keep battery above 50% SOC). If batteries are allowed to be continually discharged below 50% SOC, their effective service life will be considerably shorter. This 50% rule has been determined to be the best compromise between available energy and the maximum number of discharge cycles a battery can provide. ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd... -

To reset the Max DC display, press and hold the rotary “SELECT” knob for 5 seconds while the ‘Max DC’ display is shown. After this value has been reset, the display will begin monitoring and displaying new ‘maximum’ DC input values. If the Battery Monitor is not connected or not communicating, the display will show “0.0”. Figure 5-6, Resetting the Max DC Value ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd... -

No communication or unrecognizable communication on the network. 1. Check the communication cable; ensure it is con- nected correctly. If the ME-BMK communication cable is missing, a standard 2-conductor telephone cable may BLINKING be temporarily substituted. Important: Ensure the RJ11 connector is pushed into the correct port; you should feel/hear “click” when the con- nection is made. ©2010 Enerdrive Pty Ltd... -
