4. Nastavení

Setting up the Ransanx Watt Meter involves connecting it inline between your power source and the load. The meter is designed to be simple to use with no buttons or complex configurations.

4.1 Zapojení kabeláže

The watt meter has two main connection points: 'SOURCE' and 'LOAD'.

• ZDROJ: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires from your power source (e.g., battery, power supply) to the 'SOURCE' terminals of the watt meter.
• ZATÍŽENÍ: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) wires from the 'LOAD' terminals of the watt meter to the device or system you wish to measure (e.g., motor, ESC, battery charger).

Ensure that the red wire connects to the positive terminal and the black wire connects to the negative terminal on both the source and load sides. The meter will automatically power on once connected to a voltage source within its operating range.

4.2 Auxiliary Battery Connection (for systems below 12V)

If you are measuring a system with a voltage below 12V (down to 0V), an auxiliary battery is required to power the watt meter's display. Connect a 4.8V-60V receiver battery to the 3-pin connector on the 'SOURCE' side of the watt meter.

5. Návod k obsluze

Once properly connected, the Ransanx Watt Meter will automatically display real-time measurement data on its backlit LCD screen. There are no buttons to press or settings to configure; the device continuously cycles through various measurement parameters.

5.1 Displayed Parameters

The LCD screen displays the following parameters, cycling every two seconds:

• svtage (V): Instantní svtage systému.
• Proud (A): Instantaneous current flowing through the system.
• Výkon (W): Instantaneous power consumption (Voltagbývalý proud).
• Amp-hodiny (Ah): Accumulated charge transferred. This value resets when the meter is disconnected or power is lost.
• Watt-hours (Wh): Accumulated energy consumed. This value also resets when the meter is disconnected or power is lost.
• Vrchol Amps (Ap): The highest current recorded since the meter was powered on.
• Peak Watts (Wp): The highest power recorded since the meter was powered on.
• Minimum Volts (Vm): Nejnižší svtage recorded since the meter was powered on.

The display provides a comprehensive overview of your system's electrical performance, allowing for real-time monitoring and analysis.
