The TriMetric battery monitor is 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. It provides the user with information on battery "volts", "amps" and "amp-hours" and "battery percent full" information, based on measuring the amp-hours removed from the battery system. Reliability, accuracy and simplicity are key product objectives. The TriMetric requires an external shunt located near the batteries to measure "amps" and "amp-hours". The meter readout may be located hundreds of feet away from batteries and is usually connected to the shunt with a 4 wire cable.


The TriMetric (Model TM-2020) has been available since April 1998 and incorporates "user friendly" features including a "Battery % full" display, and a "battery reminders" to help users to better care for their batteries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The new PentaMetric battery monitor system offers a lot more capability than the TriMetric monitor. It measures 1 or 2 battery systems with a common negative. With one battery system, battery current plus two charging sources/loads can be measured.

The Pentametric System consists of these components:
1. Data input unit to collect, process and log data (near batteries)
2. Optional readout unit (shown above) with 2 line LCD display and control buttons
This connects to input unit with 4 wire cable up to 1000 feet away.
3. Optional computer interface with software to control and read out all data.
Data may be accessed and controlled using either (or both) the optional LCD or the computer interface.
