HOW TO USE THE SETTINGS MENU

 

1 Press the OK key for 3s to enter setting menu;
2. Click UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW key to select the setting items.

INITIAL SET UP:
Calibration is required when the GP-BMK-25 is connected for the first time, or
your battery bank is being replaced.

If you are starting with a full battery, on the main screen hold the UP ARROW key
for 3s to set the capacity to 100%.

If you are starting with an empty battery, hold the DOWN ARROW key for 3s while on the main screen to set the capacity to 0%.

SETTING THE BATTERY CAPACITY:
Select CAP and click the OK key to enter the pre-set capacity setting;

The set value will flicker, clicking the OK key can select other values.

Click the UP ARROW or DOWN ARROW key to select the correct values.

After this, click the << key to quit pre-set capacity setting

SETTING VOLTAGE PARAMETERS:
The "High V" and "Low V" parameters in the settings screen are for automatic
state of charge synchronization. If the battery voltage is above "High V" the
state of charge will reset to 100% and if it falls below "Low V" the state of
charge will reset to 0%. Setting either of these values to zero will disable this
function.

NOTE: If the battery is going to be heavily discharged then use 0 for Low V, which would disable the low voltage reset.

The following table contains suggested voltages for common battery types.

NOTE: These are suggested values only and may not work for all applications. Confirm with your battery manual for the accurate voltage parameter information.

SETTING LOW CAPACITY ALARM:
This is the lower battery capacity limit in ampere-hours. If the battery is discharged below this limit and audible alarm will sound. Setting this value to
zero will disable this function.
