1 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Simarine PICO Battery Monitor. Simarine
developed a state of the art DC Battery monitor.
Simarine’s PICO is a water and dust resistant 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, 14 temperatures and 20
independent current sensors (Shunts).
PICOone is capable of monitoring up to 2 batteries, 2 tanks, 2 temperatures and 20
independent current sensors (Shunts).
PICO and PICOone are 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.

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.
PICO

EN
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.

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/PICOone display unit is water
and dust resistant! Any other modules including splitter should not be exposed to
PICO

high 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 (PICOone) 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.
5. Finish mounting PICO from the back side with the supplied threaded rod
and nuts. Screws, rods and nuts MUST be fastened by hand. Excessive
force may damage the threads on PICO.

5.3 PICO panel-mount
PICO Panel-mount version dimensions are 108.5 x 94 x 10mm. It needs an
installation cutout of 98 x 83mm. It can be mounted with supplied threaded rods
and brackets or bonded with adhesive if there is no rear access to the mounting
surface.
Steps to be taken for proper mounting:
1. Before cutting out, check if there is enough space for your PICO.
2. Mark the cutout line with the supplied installation template.
3. Using a saw, carefully cut out the marked area.
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.
5. Finish mounting PICO from the back side with the supplied threaded rod
and nuts. Screws, rods and nuts MUST be fastened by hand. Excessive
force may damage the threads on PICO.

(recommended)
Pico is connected to the SiCOM bus via attached Splitter, which is an entry point
for other devices and for the power connection. Splitter must be connected to the
power (6-35V) with red/black cable. It is recommended that the power cable is
connected behind the main switch, so you can power off the complete system,
although the total power consumption of the system is very low (usually <100mA
at normal operation).
