AIMS POWER BATTERY MONITOR

USER MANUAL

Product Introduction:

The Aims Power Battery Monitor is a high-precision meter that allows

you to check the status of your battery via the monitor display or your

smartphone. Through the use of the current shunt, the battery monitor

measures the discharge or recharge currents and calculates the

Ampere-hours (Ah) going in and out of the battery. High-precision

voltage measurements are taken and displayed in real-time through the

use of a field-installed sense wire.

The Aims Power battery monitor is compatible with all types of batteries

including Lithium-ion, lead-acid and nickel-metal hydride batteries.

Applications:

Suitable for traction/mobile and

stationary applications.

• Golf Carts & Utility Vehicles

• Marine RVs

• Solar Energy Storage

• Aerial Work Platforms

• Robots

Data Displayed:

• Battery Voltage

• Battery Current

• Battery State of Charge (SOC)

• Total Ampere-hours

Electrical Connections:

NOTE: Given the multitude of different applications for which

this monitor can be used, the correct gauge of wire to be used

is not specified. If you are unsure of the correct gauge for your

setup, please consult a qualified automotive electrician or

contact AIMS POWERtechnical support for advice.

As shown in figure 3:

1. Connect the "B-" terminal of the shunt by running a cable to

the negative terminal of the battery.

2. Connect all the load and charger negative cables to the "P-"

terminal of the shunt, or if these cables are combined onto a

bus bar or fuse box, then run a cable from the bus bar or fuse

box.

3. Connect the sense wire to one of the two terminals marked

"B+"

on the shunt, and connect the ring connector to the

positive terminal of the battery.

4. Finally, connect the monitor's shielded display cable (already

attached to the display) to the shunt.

Fully charge the battery bank to 100% SOC.

Failure to take this step will lead to erroneous SOC readings.

Setting Up The Battery Monitor:

1.Ensure the battery display indicates the discharge current

and the charge current correctly. Use the charge and

discharge indicators to ensure it is capturing the appropriate

current direction (in/out).

2.Ensure that the battery voltage is displayed correctly.

3. Fully charge the battery bank such that it reaches 100% SOC.

4. To initialize the capacity, press the % button for three

seconds to set the capacity to 100%.

5. To enter the capacity, press the A/Ah button for three

seconds. Use the V button and the % button to increase or

decrease the capacity. Press the NAh button when done.

6. For parallel connections:

Enter the total capacity of the system by adding the

capacities in Ahs of each battery. For example, three S0Ah

batteries in parallel will sum up to 150Ah.

For series connections:

a. The system capacity will equal the capacity of a single

battery.

b. Connect the voltage sense wire to the battery that has

the positive terminal of the system.

For Series-Parallel connections:

Connect the shunt to the battery that has the negative

terminal of the system, and the voltage sense wire to the

battery that has the positive terminal of the system.

ConnectingToThe Smart Battery Monitor App:

1. Install the AIMS POWER Battery Monitor APP via the

Google TM or Apple App store.

Monitor Display Installation:

1. Use a hole saw to cut a

54mm hole in the surface

on which the battery

monitor is to be mounted.

2.If you can access the hole

from the rear, insert the

monitor into the hole from

the front. From the rear, slip

the bracket over the stud

and screw the wingnut onto

the stud and tighten until

the bracket is firmly holding

the display in place.

3. lf you cannot access the

hole from the rear, then you

can use the bezel square,

following similar steps as

specified in point 2.

2. Open the app and select the Battery

Monitor by its serial number.

3. At the 'SETTINGS' screen, enter the battery

parameter information required followed

by tapping 'SAVE SITTINGS' on the bottom.

4. Tap the setting button on the top right,

into the 'CALIBRATION' screen, enter the

battery parameter information required,

followed by tapping 'SAVE SETTING' at

the bottom.

5. You will now be in the dashboard where

you can monitor the battery's state of

charge, voltage, current, temperature, time

remaining and the cycle life.

6. Your smart battery monitor is now ready

to use.
