Enerdrive ePRO Plus Battery Monitor Installation Guide for Customer Service and Technical Staff
Introduction
This guide is intended for customer service and technical staff to assist with the installation, operation, and troubleshooting of the Enerdrive ePRO Plus Battery Monitor. This document consolidates critical technical and instructional information to ensure proper handling and customer support.
Installation Precautions
Battery Disconnection
Always disconnect the battery negative cable first before starting the installation to prevent any electrical hazards.
Mounting Specifications
CDU (Control & Display Unit) and Shunt should be mounted with specific dimensions:
- CDU: 95mm x 36mm
- Shunt: 52-54mm width, 11-24mm height, 0.5-13mm depth
Use non-countersunk head screws for mounting.
Ensure the use of a rubber washer, mounting panel, and locking nut for secure installation.
Connection Diagrams
Single Battery Setup: Connect the main battery positive to the load, and the battery negative to the system ground.
Multi-Battery Setup: Similar connections with additional batteries linked to the main setup.
Keep all cables as short as possible to minimize resistance and voltage drop.
Shunt Installation
The shunt must be installed into the negative line only and in a vertical position to maintain the maximum IP rating (IP21).
Connecting the shunt to the positive line can damage the monitor.
Warnings and Cautions
Fuses: Install all fuses as close to the battery terminals as possible to protect against short circuits.
Battery Terminal Connections: The battery negative terminal should only have one cable, which goes to the shunt. Multiple connections can lead to incorrect readings.
Battery Health: Ensure that batteries are in good condition and fully charged before installation.
General Battery Precautions
Wear appropriate safety gear such as non-absorbent gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing.
Avoid smoking or exposing batteries to open flames or sparks.
Be cautious of creating a short circuit with metal tools.
Remove personal metal items like rings or watches when working with batteries.
Always remove the negative terminal first when disconnecting a battery.
