BMV-700 series: Precision Battery MonitoringBattery ‘fuel gauge’, time-to-go indicator, and much moreThe remaining battery capacity depends on the ampere-hours consumed, discharge current, temperature and the age of the battery. Complex software algorithms are needed to take all these variables into account. Next to the basic display options, such as voltage, current and ampere-hours consumed, the BMV-700 series also displays state of charge, time to go, and power consumption in Watts.The BMV-702 features an additional input which can be programmed to measure the voltage (of a second battery), battery temperature or midpoint voltage (see below).Bluetooth SmartUse the Bluetooth Smart dongle to monitor your batteries on Apple or Android smartphones, tablets, macbooks and other devices.Easy to installAll 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: RJ 12 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 the rear mounting and screws for the front mounting.Easy to program (with your smartphone!)A quick install menu and a detailed setup menu with scrolling texts assist the user when going through the various settings.Alternatively, choose the fast and easy solution: download the smartphone app (Bluetooth Smart dongle needed).Midpoint voltage monitoring (BMV-702 only)This feature, which is often used in industry to monitor large and expensive battery banks, is now for the first time made available at a low cost, to monitor any battery bank.A battery bank consists of a string of series connected cells. The midpoint voltage is the voltage halfway along the string. Ideally, the midpoint voltage would be exactly half of the total voltage. In practice, however, deviations will be seen, that depend on many factors such as a different state of charge for new batteries or cells, different temperatures, internal leakage currents, capacities and much more.Large or increasing deviation of the midpoint voltage, points to improper battery care or a failed battery or cell. Corrective action following a midpoint voltage alarm can prevent severe damage to an expensive battery. Please consult the BMV manual for more information.Standard featuresBattery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed and state of chargeRemaining time at the current rate of dischargeProgrammable visual and audible alarmProgrammable relay, to turn off non critical loads or to run a generator when needed500 Amp quick connect shunt and connection kitShunt selection capability up to 10.000 AmpsVE.Direct communication portStores a wide range of historical events, which can be used to evaluate usage patterns and battery healthWide input voltage range: 6,5 – 95VHigh current measurement resolution: 10 mA (0,01A)Low current consumption: 2,9Ah per month (4mA) @12V and 2,2Ah per month (3mA) @ 24V Amp hours Current Power State of Charge Voltage Time to go Total kWh discharged Total kWh charged BMV-702 additional featuresAdditional input to measure voltage (of a second battery), temperature or midpoint voltage, and corresponding alarm and relay settings.BMV-700H: 60 to 385 VDC voltage rangeNo additional parts needed. Note: suitable for systems with grounded minus only (battery monitor is not isolated from shunt).Other battery monitoring options– Lynx Shunt VE.CanMore about midpoint voltageOne 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.We recommend Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximize service life of series-connected batteries.
