Normal Operating Mode; Overview Of Parameter Readouts - tbs electronics Expert Modular Bedienerhandbuch

Once the Expert Modular shows the estimated state of charge value, it is now ready for use! Over
time, it will keep on learning your battery and the estimated state of charge will become increasingly
more accurate.

3. NORMAL OPERATING MODE

3.1

Overview of parameter readouts

In normal operating mode, the Expert Modular can show you a wide range of important battery
parameters. Each parameter can be accessed by pressing the left or right arrow keys. The main and
most important parameter is the State of Charge (SoC) in %. This value will always be displayed and
is also linked to the round bar graph at the outer edge of the display. Additionally, the Expert
Modular can show a second parameter at the bottom row of the display.
By default, the parameters voltage, current, time remaining and temperature are enabled with
temperature only shown when an optional temperature sensor is connected. Additional parameters
that are disabled by default are power and Amp-hours. The visibility of individual parameters can be
enabled or disabled through functions F9.0 to F9.8.
The default settings will allow the second parameter to only show for 120 seconds after the Expert
Modular has been accessed. This will keep the display clean under normal conditions, which might
be preferred by less technical end users. Function F9.9 sets the second parameter auto hide time
and also offers an option to always show the second parameter (auto hide =OFF).
The table below shows all available parameter readouts:
Table 3
State of charge (SoC) (%)
Main battery voltage (V)
The SoC is the most important battery parameter. It shows
exactly how much charge is left in the battery. This value is
compensated for all known battery variables (age,
charge/discharge current, temperature etc.). 100% represents
a fully charged battery, while 0% represents a completely flat
battery. Typically, you should recharge a lead based battery
when the SoC has dropped below 50%. For a lithium based
battery, this level can be lower.
