37 TriMetric and Flexcharge Battery System Monitors

37 TriMetric and Flexcharge Battery System Monitors

We stock the Trimetric 2020 amp hour meter by Bogart Engineering ,

the Flexcharge battery voltage monitor along with dc shunts by Deltec Co.

These are an important part of an alternative energy system,

be it Solar, Wind or Hydro as well as generator based systems.

Emergency, recreational vehicle and back up power systems as well as

remote monitoring systems can also benefit from battery condition monitoring.

Currently we have three TriMetric 2020's running at our location.

Battery System Monitors

An amp hour meter allows you to quickly and easily check the state of charge of

your battery bank at a glance.

It records the power going into and out of a battery bank which is the most

accurate method of determining the state of charge.

Unlike using voltage or electrolyte specific gravity, the amp hour meter is not

affected by recent charging or discharging of the batteries.

The TriMetric also allows you to check, at any time, to see if power is going

into or out of your batteries.

A battery voltage monitor works well with a system where only voltage

monitoring is needed.

They are simple to install and easy to use.

This is very important in critical battery powered applications.

With the cost of batteries today, monitoring your battery system's

operation can save a great deal of money.

1) Tri-Metric model 2020 Battery Monitor Amp-Hour Meter

Manufactured by Bogart Engineering.

This amp-hour meter is for 12 or 24 volt (and 32 or 48 volt with an

optional adapter) battery systems.

It reads volts, amps and amp-hours on an LED display.

Amp-hours can be displayed in actual amp-hour numbers or in % of

battery full.

An LED lights when the battery is charging and flashes when the battery(s)

has been fully charged.

Another LED flashes when the batteries should be recharged, equalized and

during low voltage.

It also records minimum and maximum voltage, days since batteries were last

charged, days since equalized and total lifetime amp-hours withdrawn from the

batteries.

By using four conductor wire the TriMetric can be located a distance away

from the batteries for ease of use.

Using 22 ga. wire the maximum distance is 55 feet.

Using 18 ga. wire the maximum distance is 150 feet.

It can be placed farther away if heavier wire is used.

A shunt is required for operation.

Use the 500 amp shunt for systems with a maximum continuous current of 400

amps with no overloads or 300 amps continuous with up to 5 minute overloads

to 500 amps maximum.

This allows amp readings as low as 0.10 amps.

These are suitable for virtually all systems with moderate or large size inverters.

The dimensions are: 3-1/4" by 1-3/4" base and 1-7/8" high.

Use the 100 amp shunt for systems with a maximum current of 75 amps

continuous with no overloads or 50 amps continuous wtih overloads to 100 amps

for 8 seconds maximum.

These are suitable for small systems or for most applications where you want

to measure only alternative energy input and load output current.

This allows amp readings as low as 0.01 amps.

The 48 volt adapter / lightning protector allows the TriMetric to operate with

48 volt systems.

It also provides lightning protection for 12, 24 and 48 volt systems.

It mounts on the TriMetric terminal block and fits inside the Wiremold

box.

The TriMetric handles a battery bank of up to 2500 amp hours.

The positive lead to the TriMetric should be protected with a 1 or 2 amp fuse.

The TriMetric can be flush mounted or mounted in a Wiremold box for surface

mounting.

Most Trace Power Centers are set up to accept a TriMetric 2020 monitor.

Dimensions: 4.5" by 4.75".

Made in the USA by Bogart Engineering and comes with a two year warranty.

PRICE:

TriMetric mod. 2020 ( TM 2020 ) $ 135.00 each

The following Verisign / Go eMerchant Add To Cart button offers several

shipping options based on the order weight and your zip code.

____________________________________________________

The 48 volt adapter / surge arrestor has five pins which fit into

the terminal block at the top of the Tri-Metric 2020.

This performs two functions, it provides lightning protection for the

TriMetric as well as allows it to be used on a 48 volt battery system.

You will notice just left of the terminal block the numbers 48V, 24V and 12V

next to a set of jumpers.

You set the jumpers for the voltage of your system, it takes a few seconds to do.

There is plenty of room in a Wire Mold box for this and the input wires.

One of the Tri-Metric units we use here is on a 48 volt system.

____________________

Please note - if you always run your batteries at a low state of charge,

an amp hour meter loses its accuracy.

This is because as batteries are kept at a low state of charge, they

permantly lose storage capacity.
