he Blue Window is st te-of-the- rt electric vehicle

computer. It is used to monitor b ttery st te-of-ch rge,

RPMs, b ttery current nd b ttery volt ge. The Blue Window is

designed so th t the b ttery monitoring is completely isol ted

from the regul r c r 12V system. The Blue Window is powered by

the Propeller chip from P r ll x (www.p r ll x.com). The

Propeller is n 8 core 32-bit microprocessor th t is c p ble of

outputting composite video. M ny options in the Blue Window

re progr mm ble nd c n be customized for your c r.

ALWAYS USE HIGH CAUTION WHEN WORKING ON

AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE. ALWAYS DISABLE THE

CIRCUIT BREAKER WHEN THE ENGINE BAY IS

O EN (THIS WILL HEL MINIMIZE RISK OF

SHOCK). ALWAYS TAKE NOTE WHERE THE

HIGH VOLTAGE LINES ARE.

he Blue Window is designed to m ke inst ll tion e sy. All of

the connections on the Blue Window re m de with

convenient plugg ble screw termin ls. The temper ture sensor,

however, h s single 4 position plug.

The Blue Window should be inst lled s close to the shunt s

possible. The shunt sense wires should be less th n 1’ long. Figure 1

shows n inst lled computer. Mounting holes for the Blue Window

re shown in Appendix A. After the inst ll tion is complete, you

must completely ch rge the c r before the c p city will re d correctly

(see Section 7. Capacity Algorithm for more det ils).

VERY IM ORTANT:

Before you plug or un-plug ny

connectors to the housings on the computer, you need to m ke sure

the high volt ge h s been disconnected. This is done by following

these 3 steps:

1. Turn off the ignition.

2. Turn off the circuit bre ker.

3. If vehicle comes with m nu l disconnect, you must

disconnect it s well.

4a) Isolated Battery & Shunt Connections

J2 on the Blue Window is used for m king the High-Volt ge nd

shunt connections. While the 4-pin m le connector is

UN LUGGED from the bo rd, connect the b ttery nd shunt wires

(+ nd – for e ch) into their respective loc tions, design ted by J2 in

Figure 2. Use one of the included inline fuse holders with 1Afuse to

wire the BT + line. See Figure 3 for di gr m of how ll the

connections should be integr ted.

B L U E W I N D O W O P E R A T I O N A N D I N S T A L L A T I O N M A N U A L

With the high volt ge still disconnected nd ll four wires in their

design ted loc tions on the connector, plug the 4-pin m le connector

into the fem le housing l beled s J2.

For steps 4b-4e, male connectors must also be

UN LUGGED from the computer during

installation. Once the wires are securely

fastened to the male connectors plug into the

female housings on the computer.

4b) 12v Car Battery

J4 is used for the m in 12V supply to the Blue Window, highlighted in

Figure 4. Use the second included in-line fuse to fuse the 12V line.

The fused 12V connection should be m de directly to the 12V b ttery

or to some lw ys-on point in the 12V system. If the Blue Window

looses 12V power then the c p city will reset to 50% (see Section 7.

Capacity Algorithm for further det ils).
