Plasmatronics PL20 Solar Panel Regulator - help

Advice needed.

I'm trying to help a mate with the install of a battery monitor/solar regulator in his caravan. He has:
- 300AH of battery storage
- 15 amp 3 stage battery charger - installed in van
- no solar panels at this stage - but will probably install approx 200watt in future.

Is the Plasmatronics PL20 Solar Panel Regulator (or its competitor the Steca 2020) capable of being used as a battery monitor - without solar panels connected at this stage? That is, can it be set up to indicate the state of discharge or charge of the battery bank - plus or minus Amp Hours?

The other alternative is to install a cheaper solar regulator along with a Xantrex battery monitor

Many thanks
Brian
