Overview

The POWERTEC QP2322 Multi-function Battery Meter is a DC multifunction battery tester mainly used to measure all kinds of batteries’ voltage, discharge current, discharge power, discharge impedance, capacity, SOC, energy, and running time. It displays the measurement data through the LCD screen. Measuring Range: 300A (using an external shunt, compatible with 50A, 100A, 200A, and 300A shunts).

If you are also using a UPS system alongside your batteries, you might find the POWERTEC PT-1150LI UPS Line Interactive Instruction Manual helpful for proper setup and maintenance.

SOC

Before the test, you should preset the full voltage and the cut-off voltage, depending on the battery type; every grid voltage = (the highest voltage – the lowest voltage) / 10.

Running time

• Measuring range: 0 ~ 999 hours (without load, the time will not accumulate)
• Display format: 0:00:00 ~ 999:59:59
• Over the test range will become zero.

Operation

1. In the normal display interface(like fig. 1), long-press the button until the LCD screen displays the interface like fig. 2, then release the button
2. SET character blink present it is the setting status of full/cut-off voltage, long-press the button until the LCD screen displays the interface like fig. 3, then release the button.
3.  At this time, the battery symbol displays full grid energy means the full voltage setting status. factory default, the full voltage is 020.OV, the numerical code circulation flashing from the low bit to the high bit shows that the current setting digit, short-press to set the digit; please pay attention that, as the full voltage setting value has 4 digits, but the numerical code has only 3 digits.
4. So the setting is divided into two parts: low bit (fig. 3), thigh bit (fig. 4). For example, the default full voltage is 020.OV, then the display state is 20.0V to 020V, with low and high cyclic switching. If you need to set the full voltage is 199.0V, then please set the low bit to 99.0V.
5. When the cycle reaches the high bit, it will display 099V, and only the highest zero bit flickers to prompt that it can be set. Setting the high bit to 199V represents the full voltage is 199.0V.

Cut-off Voltage

1. After you set the full voltage, longer press the button until the LCD shows the interface of Fig. 5, then release the button.;
2. At this time, the battery symbol shows the zero-grid to indicate the cut-off voltage setting state, the default cut-off voltage is 016.0V, the setting method is the same as above; the cut-off voltage is 0.8 times of the full voltage by default, after setting the full voltage, the cut-off voltage is automatically generated in the relationship of 0.8 times; otherwise, you can reset it;
3. After all the above settings are completed, long-press the button until the settings are saved and exit the settings status, restoring the normal display interface.

Current Range Setting

1. In the normal display interface, long-press the button until the LCD shows the interface of Figure 2, then release the button, short-press the button again to switch to the interface of Figure 7, which indicates that this state is the current range setting state.
2. Press the button longer until the LCD shows the interface of Figure 8, then release the button, short-press the button again to switch the current range. This meter provides four current ranges; the factory default is 100A. The corresponding range according to the shunt.
3. After the current range setting is completed, long-press the button until the settings are saved and exit the setting status, the normal display interface.

Clear the Capacity

1. In the normal display interface, long-press the button until the LCD shows the interface of Figure 2, then release the button, short-press the button again to switch to the interface of Figure 10, which indicates that this state is the clearing capacity setting state.
2. Press the button longer until the data has been cleared and exit the setting status, restoring the normal display interface.

Clear the Running Time

1. In the normal display interface, long-press the button until the LCD shows the interface of Figure 2, then release the button, short-press the button again to switch to the interface of Figure 11, which indicates that this state is the clearing running time setting state.
2. Press the button until the data has been cleared and exit the setting status, and return, the normal display interface.

Specifications

The POWERTEC QP2322 Multi-function Battery Meter operates efficiently under the following conditions:

• Normal Working State 0.03 – 1.2W
• Sleep State 0.5mW – 0.5W
• Working Temp -20ºC to 60ºC

The power consumption is related to the test voltage value; the higher the voltage, the greater the power consumption.
