VICTRON BMV-712 SMART BATTERY MONITOR

The BMV-712 Smart is a battery monitor. It measures battery voltage and current. Based on these measurements, it calculates the battery's state of charge and the time to go. It also keeps track of historical data, such as deepest discharge, average discharge and the number of charge and discharge cycles. All monitored battery parameters can be read out, and settings can be changed via the display and the four buttons. A connection with the VictronConnect app is possible via Bluetooth or USB. The VictronConnect app can be used to read out all monitored battery parameters or to change settings. To connect via USB, an optional VE.Direct to USB interface is needed. If the battery monitor is connected to a GX device, such as the Cerbo GX or the ColorControl GX, the battery can be monitored locally with the GX device or remotely via the VRM portal. The auxiliary input can be used to monitor the voltage of a second battery or the midpoint of a battery bank. The auxiliary input can also be used for battery temperature monitoring, together with the optional Temperature sensor for BMV. When connected to other Victron products via VE.Smart networking, the battery monitor can provide real-time battery data such as battery temperature, voltage and current via Bluetooth for use by Victron solar chargers and select AC chargers. Bluetooth inside With Bluetooth built-in, the BMV Smart is ready for the Internet of Things (IoT) era. With Bluetooth being implemented in most other Victron Energy products, wireless communication between products will simplify system installation and enhance performance. Download the Victron Bluetooth app Use a smartphone or other Bluetooth enabled device to: customize settings, monitor all important data on single screen, view historical data, and to update the software when new features become available. Easy to install All electrical connections are to the quick connect PCB on the current shunt. The shunt connects to the monitor with a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included: RJ12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m); no other components needed. Also included are a separate front bezel for a square or round display appearance, a securing ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting. Midpoint voltage monitoring One bad cell or one bad battery can destroy a large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, a timely warning can be generated by measuring the midpoint voltage. Please see the BMV manual, section 5.2, for more information. 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 Especially Li-ion batteries have virtually no capacity left when discharged until low voltage shutdown. After shutdown due to low cell voltage, the capacity reserve of a Li-ion battery is approximately 1Ah per 100 Ah battery capacity. The battery will be damaged if the remaining capacity reserve is drawn from the battery. A residual current of 10 mA for example may damage a 200 Ah battery if the system is left in discharged state during more than 8 days. Bi-stable alarm relay Prevents increased current draw in case of an alarm. Other features Battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed and state of charge Remaining time at the current rate of discharge Programmable visual and audible alarm Programmable relay, to turn off non critical loads or to run a generator when needed 500 Amp quick connect shunt and connection kit - Shunt selection capability up to 10,000 Amps VE.Direct communication port Stores a wide range of historical events, which can be used to evaluate usage patterns and battery health Wide input voltage range: 6.5 – 70 V High current measurement resolution: 10 mA (0.01 A) Additional input to measure voltage (of a second battery), temperature or midpoint voltage, and corresponding alarm and relay settings
