Easy installation.
All electrical connections are made using the PCB connector on the power shunt. The shunt is connected to the monitor via a standard RJ12 telephone cable. Included in delivery: RJ12 cable (10 m) and battery cable with fuse (2 m); No further components are required. There is also a separate front panel for a square or round display; A safety ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting are included.
Monitoring the midpoint voltage.
A damaged cell or battery can destroy an entire large, expensive battery bank. If batteries are connected in series, measuring the midpoint voltage can generate a timely warning message. Please also note the BMV manual, section 5.2 for more information. We recommend our Battery Balancer (BBA000100100) to maximize the life of series-connected lead-acid batteries.
Very low power consumption from the battery
Power consumption: 0.7 Ah per month (1 mA) at 12 V and 0.6 Ah per month (0.8 mA) at 24 V Lithium-ion batteries in particular have almost no capacity left when they are discharged until they are switched off due to low voltage. After shutdown due to low voltage, the capacity reserve of a lithium-ion battery is approximately 1 Ah per 1000 Ah of battery capacity. The battery will be damaged if the remaining reserve capacity is drained from the battery. For example, a residual current of 10 mA can damage a 200 Ah battery if the system is left discharged for over 8 days.
Bistable alarm relay.
Prevents increased current consumption in the event of an alarm.
