BATTERY STATES
Unimeter’s Specific Instruction Display indicates the battery’s state of charge and action required by the Operator.
Do not charge (green) |
| |
Charging in the DO NOT CHARGE range is destructive charging.
Destructive charging wastes energy, reduces battery life, and
increases water consumption. When the DO NOT CHARGE indicator
is illuminated, the battery has sufficient charge to complete
at least one full shift.
|
| |
Ok to charge (yellow) |
| |
The OK TO CHARGE instruction indicates the battery has
sufficient capacity remaining to complete the present shift.
This setting is programmable to enforce maximum discharge
policies or to allow batteries to be charged without interrupting
workflow. Charging in this range is constructive charging
and produces good lifetime battery capacity. The OK TO CHARGE
indicator is backed up with an optional 5-minute variable alarm.
|
| |
Must charge (red) |
| |
Operating the battery until the MUST CHARGE instruction is
illuminated produces maximum lifetime capacity, greatest
number of shifts per charge, and lowest per ampere charging costs.
Charging in the MUST CHARGE range is used when mid-shift battery
changes do not adversely affect workflow. The MUST CHARGE indicator is
programmable to maximize battery use to the specific requirements
of the workflow. Once the red light is illuminated, a warning beeps
every 5 seconds, advising the Operator in advance that he/she has
10 minutes of lift operation before "lift lockout"
engages. The "lift lockout" cannot be bypassed or
defeated. Note: Lift lockout is normally programmed to engage at
80% discharged.

Battery Fault Indicator |
| |
The Battery Fault Indicator advises the Operator that a problem
is developing with the battery. Problems detected could be: cell
failure beginning, problem with inter cell connector, broken battery
post, bad SB connector, etc. Minor battery problems are detected
before they become a major repair expense, and overall battery
maintenance costs are reduced.

PROGRAMMABLE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The Unimeter can be programmed with the number of hours
before preventative maintenance is required for the vehicle.
The number of hours is based on the method of recording time
selected when programming the hour meter. When the preventative
maintenance threshold is reached, the SERVICE indicator
illuminates.
An optional "lift lockout", which cannot be bypassed
or defeated, can be programmed to ensure the required preventative
maintenance does take place at some predetermined time after the
SERVICE indicator illuminates.
The Unimeter Programmer is used to program the Unimeter’s preventative maintenance settings.

HOUR METER
The hour meter can be programmed to record time in two
different ways. It can record time based on the number of hours
the ignition key is on, or it can record time based on run time
(when the truck is actually being used). An LED displays the
recorded number of hours.
The Unimeter Programmer is used to specify the method of recording time.

SERVICE
The SERVICE indicator illuminates when preventative maintenance
is due to be completed. This is based on the number of hours
specified when programming the Unimeter.

UNIMETER PROGRAMMER
The hand-held
Unimeter Programmer is used to field calibrate the
Unimeter to your charging and preventative maintenance policies.
Exclusive microprocessor technology eliminates guesswork and allows
settings to be quickly and precisely raised or lowered, regardless
of the battery’s state of charge, facility temperature, or load
conditions.
The Unimeter Programmer is used to program the Unimeter’s:
- Battery voltage
- Specific gravity for the OK TO CHARGE and MUST CHARGE battery states
- Method of recording time
- Preventative maintenance schedule
- Lift lockout option
