The TriMetric battery monitors are 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. They provide the user with information on battery "volts", "amps" and "amp-hours" and the newest version also provides "battery percent full" information, based on measuring the amp-hours removed from the battery system. Reliability, accuracy and simplicity are key product objectives. The meter readout may be located hundreds of feet away from batteries and is usually connected to the shunt with a 4 wire cable (Use our part number
2AS-1603-POS 3-pair cable).
The TriMetric requires an external
100 amp or
500 amp shunt to
measure amps and amp-hours.
Battery Amps: Measures amps into and out of battery, accurate to ±1%±1 least significant digit. Or the meter may be set up to measure only incoming amps from solar array or other energy source, or only load amps if desired. Resolution and maximum amps depends on choice of shunt. With the 100A/100mV shunt: measures 0.01 to 100 amps. With 500A/50mV shunt: measures from 0.1 to 500 amps. Shunt type is programmable, so amps always display correctly. Speed of response one second time constant.
Mounting box not supplied - only needed if you are wall mounting and not inset (flush) into wall.
