Bogart Engineering Wiremold Deep Box for Surface-Mounting the Tri-Metric Battery Monitor, 2348-2

Please note: Minimum order amount for all or any combination of solar products is $285.00. TriMetric Battery Monitor The TriMetric battery monitor is designed to assist in battery care, conservation and system maintenance of battery powered systems that use storage batteries with system voltage from 12-48 volts. It provides the user with information on battery "volts", "amps" and "amp-hours" and "battery percent full" information, based on measuring the amp-hours removed from the battery system. Reliability, accuracy and simplicity are key product objectives. The TriMetric requires an external shunt located near the batteries to measure "amps" and "amp-hours." The meter readout may be located hundreds of feet away from batteries and is usually connected to the shunt with a 4-wire cable. Features & Benefits Conservation: Helps save valuable energy by letting you see how much you're using Use "amps" to educate users about how much energy different electrical loads draw Check that all loads are really off when you think they're off Check for "phantom loads"-small loads that steal power 24 hours per day Keep informed about how much energy you have left in your battery system Reduce generator use by knowing when you can efficiently shut it off because batteries are approaching full charge Battery Care: Provides information you need to protect your battery investment; know when to turn on your generator to avoid damage from over discharge Check that charging systems are charging to correct voltage for longest life Be reminded not to let batteries go too many days between a full charge System Maintenance Helps locate system problems when they occur -- monitor solar arrays and inverter/chargers to be sure they are still charging at proper rates and voltage Find out if batteries are still holding energy properly Even if you're not an expert, a dealer or other knowledgeable person can more easily help you ""by phone" to locate a problem if you have a monitor on your system
