For use on any equipment where the battery status is important. This Battery Condition Indicator (gauge or meter) is available in 12, 24, 36 or 48 volt models. It is specifically designed for battery power equipment to monitor the charge status of the battery or batteries.
* The battery meter has 10 LEDS that will light to show the battery condition. When fully charged, only the 10th LED will light shown a green LED.
* As the battery discharges, successively lower LEDs will light; the 9th, 8th, 7th and so on lighting only 1 LED.
* At approximately 30% battery life, the #3 LED will light and the color is Yellow as a caution indicator.
* At approximately 20% battery life remaining, the #2 LED will light as a Flashing Yellow.
* When the battery discharges to approximately ~10% remaining life, the #1 LED will start FLASHING RED with the #2 LED FLASHING Yellow alternately.
It is recommended to have the battery or batteries recharged when the #3 LED lights Yellow as a safety margin to prevent dead batteries.

Pin 1 is for Positive Volts DC
Pin 3 and 4 are the connections to make use of the relay function. Connect a positive voltage supply to pin 3. Connect pin 4 to equipment that you wish to operate limited to 3 amps max. This connection provides an open switch. When the meter senses full voltage, it activates the relay allowing current to flow to operate accessories. When the battery becomes discharged, the relay will open and shut off the power supply to an accessory that is wired thru the meter to conserve battery life.
Warranty: Hour meters are warranted for a period of 12 months from the date of sale.
