Note: Before you test the internal resistance, you should preset the full voltage depend on the battery type, after it is fully charged you
can use it to test; if you do not fully charge it, you can set the battery without load voltage is the full voltage, then test; the internal
resistance is not a fixed value, the more the battery discharged, the bigger the resistance.

1.6.4 Measurement accuracy:1%
Note: Battery capacity testing is a cumulative process of discharge current versus time, it need some time, the time is depend on the
discharge current; before you test the capacity, you should preset the full voltage and the cut-off voltage depend on the battery type,
after it is fully charged you can use it to the discharge test; When the dump energy display blank, it means the discharge is over, this
capacity display value is the battery's capacity.
1.7 Dump energy
Dump energy is display via the battery symbol, totally 10 grids, every grid present 10% energy.
Dump energy is calculated via the current battery voltage value, before test you should preset the full voltage and the cut-off voltage
depend on the battery type; every grid voltage = (the highest voltage - the lowest voltage) / 10.

2. Operating Instructions
2.1 Setting the full and cur-off voltage

2.1.1 Set the full voltage:
Step 1: In the normal display interface(like fig. 1), long press the button until the LCD screen display the interface like fig. 2, then
release the button

Step 2: SET character blink present it is the setting status of full / cut-off voltage, long press the button until the LCD screen display
the interface like fig. 3, then release the button.
Step 3: At this time, the battery symbol display full grids energy means the full voltage setting status, factory default the full voltage is
020.0V, the numerical code circulation flashing from the low bit to the high bit show that the current setting digit, short press to set the
digit; please pay attention that, as the full voltage setting value has 4 digit, but the numerical code has only 3 digit, So the setting is
divided into two parts: low bit (fig. 3) +high bit (fig. 4). For example, the default full voltage is 020.0V, then the display state is 20.0V
to 020V low and high cyclic switching display. If you need to set the full voltage is 199.0V, then please set the low bit to 99.0V, when
the cycle reaches the high bit, it will display 099V, and only the highest zero bit flicker to prompt it can be setted. Setting the high bit
to 199V represents the full voltage is 199.0V.

2.1.2 Set the Cut-off voltage:
Step 1: After you set the full voltage, loner press the button until LCD shows the interface of Fig. 5, then release the button;
Step 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;
After all the above settings are completed, long press the button until the settings are saved and exit the setting status, restore the
normal display interface.
2.2 Current range setting (Only for PZEM-015)

Step 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 switch to the interface to Figure 7, it indicates that this state is the current range setting state.

Step 2: Longer press the button 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, factory default is 100A, choose the corresponding range according
to the shunt.
Step 3: After the current range setting is completed, long press the button until the settings are saved and exit the setting status, restore
the normal display interface.
2.3 Clear the Energy

Step 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 switch to the interface to Figure 9, it indicates that this state is the clearing energy setting state.
Step 2: Longer press the button until the data has been cleared and exit the setting status, restore the normal display interface.
2.4 Clear the capacity

Step 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 switch to the interface to Figure 10, it indicates that this state is the clearing capacity setting state.
Step 2: Longer press the button until the data has been cleared and exit the setting status, restore the normal display interface.
2.5 Clear the running time

Step 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 switch to the interface to Figure 11, it indicates that this state is the clearing running time setting state.
Step 2: Longer press the button until the data has been cleared and exit the setting status, restore the normal display interface.
2.6 Working mode
This meter has two modes: normal display mode and dormant mode. In normal display mode, short press the button to enter the
dormant mode, in order to reduce the whole machine power consumption, the backlight and LCD display will be turned off in dormant
mode. In dormant mode, short press the button will switch to the normal display mode.
Note: The meter will stop all measurement functions in dormant mode, so please do not switch to dormant mode if normal
measurement is performed.
