5 1 Introduction Congratulations on your purchase of the Simarin PICO Battery Monitor. Simarin developed a state of the art DC Battery monitor. Simarin s PICO is a water and dust prove device used to monitor DC power sources as batteries and solar panels. The information is displayed on a large 3,5 high resolution IPS display with Gorilla Glass and anti-reflective coating to ensure superior visibility. PICO is capable of monitoring up to 6 batteries, 14 tanks and 20 independent current sensors (Shunts). PICO is equipped with a Wi-Fi module to communicate with the PICO application available for Android and iphone smartphones. The application allows accessing live data, analyzing history data, configuring PICO and perform a firmware upgrade of PICO. 2 Accessories SC300 Digital Shunt SIMARINE High Precision 300A Shunt SC500 Digital Shunt SIMARINE High Precision 500A Shunt SCQ25 Quadro Digital Shunt Module SIMARINE High Precision 4x25A Shunt SCQ25T Quadro Digital Shunt and Tank Module SIMARINE High Precision 4x25A Shunt and Tank Module with 7 inputs ST107 Digital tank module with 7 Inputs 3 Safety Installation of Simarine electronics should be made by electrical specialists with proper safety equipment. When working with batteries you should wear protective clothing and eye protection. CAUTION: Batteries contain acid, a corrosive, colorless liquid that will burn your eyes, skin and clothing. Should the acid come in contact with eyes, skin or clothing, wash it immediately with soap under fresh water for at least 15 minutes, and seek medical support immediately. CAUTION: Do NOT connect anything to a damaged battery. It could heat up, catch fire or explode. CAUTION: Lead-acid Batteries can generate explosive gases during operation. Never smoke, allow flames or sparks near the battery. Make sure to keep sufficient ventilation around the battery. CAUTION: When working with a battery remove all personal metal items like watches, rings, necklaces and bracelets. Metal items in contact with the battery terminals might cause a short circuit with a very high electric current, which may heat up and melt nearby objects and cause severe burns. 4 Declaration of conformity MANUFACTURER: SIMARINE d.o.o. ADDRESS: Ulica skofa Maksimilijana Drzecnika 6, SI-2000 Maribor, Slovenia, EU Declares that the following product: PRODUCT TYPE: PICO Conforms to the requirements of the following Directives of the European Union: EMC Directive 2014/30EU, RoHS Directive 2002/95/EC The above product is in conformity with the following harmonized standards: : 2001 EMC - Generic Emissions Standard, : 2005 EMC - Generic Immunity Standard 5 Installation 5.1 PICO mounting SIMARINE PICO should be installed in a visible place to provide good readability. Please note that ONLY the PICO display unit is water and dust resistant! Any other modules including splitter should not be exposed to humidity or liquids in any case. The mounting process and installation cutouts depend on the model, as described in following sections. 5.2 PICO standalone PICO Standalone version has dimensions of 98 x 84 x 10mm and needs NO installation cutout. The mounting process requires drilling of 5 (PICO) or 6 (PICO + ) mounting holes and access to the rear of the mounting surface. In case you have NO rear access, you can bond it using supplied double sided tape. Step to be taken for proper mounting: 1. Before the drilling, check if there is enough space to mount your PICO. 2. Mark mounting holes using the supplied installation template. 3. Drill all holes. 4. Connect the connector on the back side of PICO to the splitter cable (be sure to align the pins correctly) and fasten it by turning the safety ring clockwise. PICO 5

If not possible, use the following table to determinate the right cable type. Cable length Cable type < 5m No limitations >= 5m 2x2x0.25 mm2 Twisted pair (recommended) How to connect a Tank sensor In order to measure liquid level in the tank, it is necessary to use Simarine s ST107 module. It enables you to connect up to three voltage and four resistance sensors at the same time. Connecting a resistive sensor is shown in the figure below. Additional connecting examples of liquid level sensors are shown in the appendix. To ensure correct display of liquid level on PICO, some configuration steps are needed. The whole configuration process is in detail described in Chapter 7.3.2TANKS SC x SC500 PICO 8

11 6 Configuration 6.1 How to configure a battery PICO shows all properly configured batteries. Each correctly configured battery will automatically show up on PICO. You can switch between the battery with UP/DOWN arrow. Below are described the most common configurations and how to set up a battery on PICO. To properly configure a battery on PICO, you need to specify one voltmeter sensor, at least one current sensor and other battery parameters which are explained in next chapters Configure a battery using a digital shunt The following steps are equal for SC300 and SC500 digital shunt. You can configure the battery in following steps. Long press button to enter options menu. Navigate to DEVICES/BATTERIES. Select add new battery and fill in the requested data. Name the battery/battery bank accordingly (STARTER, SERVICE, MAIN, etc.) Select the battery type (WET STD., WET FREE, AGM, DEEP CYCLE, GEL, ) Fill in the battery capacity for the next C ratings: C/20, C/10 and C/5. If you don t know all the ratings, fill in just a couple ratings that you know. A C rating is simply a battery s capacity (or Ah/amp hour rating) when discharged over a specific period. The C rating is usually specified on the battery label. Select the voltmeter on the installed SC300/SC500 digital shunt. You can select only voltmeters that are not already used by an existing battery configuration. Select the current sensor on the installed SC300/SC500 digital shunt. You can select only current sensors that are not already used by an existing battery configuration. Select a temperature sensor if you have one installed. Confirm and save the battery configuration with button. On PICO s main screen should be now visible the newly added battery Configure a battery using SCQ25T or ST107 module The following steps are equal for SCQ25T and ST107 module. It is required to properly install it. The installation is described in the corresponding module manual. After successfully installing the module, you can configure the battery in following steps. Long press button to enter options menu. Navigate to DEVICES/BATTERIES. Select add new battery and fill in the requested data. Name the battery/battery bank accordingly (STARTER, SERVICE, MAIN, etc.) Select the battery type (WET STD., WET FREE, AGM, DEEP CYCLE, GEL, ) Fill in the battery capacity for the next C ratings: C/20, C/10 and C/5. If you don t know all the ratings, fill in just one or two ratings that you know. A C rating is simply a battery s capacity (or Ah/amp hour rating) when discharged over a specific period. The C rating should be described on the battery label. Select the voltmeter on the installed module. You can select only voltmeters that are not already used by an existing battery configuration.

15 7.4.2 AUTO OFF MODE AP/STA AP - In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) is a networking hardware device that allows a Wi-Fi compliant device to connect to a wired network. The WAP usually connects to a router (via a wired network) as a standalone device, but it can also be an integral component of the router itself. A WAP is differentiated from a hotspot, which is the physical location where Wi-Fi access to a WLAN is available. STA - The Station device connects to an access point by sending certain management packets to it. This process is called the authentication and association. After the AP sent the successful association reply, the station is part of the network SSID Service Set Identifier (SSID): Pico<last four digits of serial number> Example: Pico1234 You can find the serial number on the sticker on the back side of PICO or in the menu TCP IP TCP PORT UDP IP UDP PORT PASSWORD Default password: pico<first four digits of serial number> Example: pico5678 You can find the serial number on the sticker on the back side of PICO or in the menu. 7.5 DATE & TIME TIME DATE TIME ZONE TIME FORMAT DATE FORMAT 7.6 BAROGRAPH ALTITUDE TIME LINE ALARM ON CHANGE 7.7 SECURITY 7.8 SYSTEM SYSTEM INFO Hear you can check PICOs firmware version SYSTEM RESET 8 Mobile app PICO can be remotely controlled by your smart phone via WiFi connection.
