Use a smartphone or another device with a Bluetooth connection to:  

• customise your settings
• monitor all crucial data on a single screen
• view data history, and to
• update the software when new features are available.

Very simple installation

All electrical connections are made via quick connection on the printed circuit board (PCB) of the shunt. The shunt is connected to the controller with a standard RJ12 telephone cable.

Included: RJ12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m). No other components are required.

The other supplied parts are a dial for a square or round display, a mounting ring for rear mounting, and the screws necessary for front mounting.

Median voltage control

A faulty cell or battery can destroy a large and expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, a timely warning can be produced by measuring the median voltage.

Please refer to section 5.2 of the BMV manual for further information. We recommend our (Battery Balancer) to optimise the lifespan of lead batteries connected in series.

Very low current draw from the battery

Current consumption: 0.7 Ah per month (1 mA) @12 V and 0.6 Ah per month (0.8 mA) @ 24 V.

Lithium-ion batteries in particular have almost no power left when they are discharged to the point of shutdown due to low voltage.

After a shutdown due to low voltage on the cells, the power reserve of a lithium-ion battery is about 1 Ah for every 100 Ah of battery power. The battery will be damaged if the remaining power reserve is drawn from the battery. For example, a residual current of 10 mA can damage a 200 Ah battery if the system is left discharged for more than 8 days.

Bistable alarm relay

It prevents the increase of current draw in case of an alarm.
