Is the monitor still working ok? I just had one go bad on me. It just started beeping on me one day after a road trip and showing 0% battery capacity, despite the fact that my battery bank was fully charged. I'm seeing a lot of bad reviews pop up now on Amazon describing issues similar to mine. I also noticed that the really short startup screen on mine (when you first power it up) says 350A instead of 500A for some reason. Does your monitor say 350A? Also does yours have screen dimming functionality? I saw guy on YT show how to adjust screen brightness on his RBM500 by holding down the left arrow button for 3 seconds. A little lightbulb appeared on his screen and he used the up and down arrows to brighten or dim the screen. I don't remember ever seeing this in the instructions I got with my RBM500. I had no idea that was even a possible. So I went to try it on mine and found out it's not! At least on mine.😞 Wondering if mine was an older model with outdated software or something. Anyway thanks for posting. Hopefully you'll have better luck with yours.
I didn't notice whether is showed 350 or 500A on start up. So far it is working as expected. To dim the screen just push the down arrow button and it will dim incrementally all the way down to off. That light is pretty annoying and couldn't imagine having to see that all the time. All my stuff is in a shed so I only have to see it when I go in it. I'm glad you liked the video.
Thank You for the setup video! So you have 2-100ah batteries but have you ever done a capacity test? I ran a capacity test on mine and they come in under what they're rated at. Should I set the ah on the meter to the actual ah as tested? That's what would make sense to me.
I believe if you scroll down below the POWOFF selection you should get to the Alarm setting.
Steve, thank you for the info. There was one other setting below the alarm. I think it is ATTEN%, do you know what that is for.

I have not done a capacity test. I use the meter as a ballpark just to let me where I’m sitting. Thanks for feed back and watching the video
