Input
This is the state of the auxiliary input. Depending on how the battery monitor has been set up, you will see one of these options:
• Starter battery voltage: This shows the voltage of a second battery.
• Battery temperature: This shows the battery temperature of the main battery when the optional temperature sensor is used.
• Midpoint voltage deviation: This shows the deviation in a percentage of the main voltage of the battery bank top section
compared to the voltage of the bottom section. For more information on this feature see the
chapter.
