Victron BMV-712 Smart, With Bluetooth, 500A Smart Shunt, Battery Monitor 9–90 V DC
Scope of delivery:
Battery Monitor BMV-712
Shunt 500A
10 m UTP connection cable (between shunt and monitor)
2 x 2 m battery connection cables with fuse
The housings shown in the photos are not included but can be ordered separately.
Manufacturer description:
With integrated Bluetooth
With its built-in Bluetooth, the BMV Smart is ready for the "Internet of Things" (IoT) era. Most other Victron Energy products also feature Bluetooth. Wireless communication between products simplifies system installation and improves performance.
Download the Victron Bluetooth App
With a smartphone or another Bluetooth-enabled device you can:
- adjust settings,
- display all important data on one screen,
- view historical data, and
- update to the latest software when new functions become available.
Easy installation
All electrical connections are made with the PCB connector on the current 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 additional components are required.
Also included are a separate front bezel for a square or round display, a securing ring for rear mounting, and screws for front mounting.
Midpoint voltage monitoring
A damaged cell or battery can destroy an entire large, expensive battery bank. When batteries are connected in series, measuring the midpoint voltage allows for a timely warning signal. Please also refer to the BMV manual, section 5.2, for more information.
We recommend our Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximize the lifetime of lead-acid batteries connected in series.
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.
In particular, lithium-ion batteries have almost no remaining capacity once they have been discharged to their low-voltage cutoff.
After low-voltage shutdown, the remaining capacity reserve of a lithium-ion battery is approximately 1 Ah per 1000 Ah of battery capacity. The battery can be damaged if this remaining reserve capacity is drawn from it. For example, a residual current of 10 mA can damage a 200 Ah battery if the system remains in a discharged state for about 8 days.
Bistable alarm relay
Prevents increased current consumption in the event of an alarm.
Additional features
- Battery voltage, current, power, consumed amp-hours, and state of charge
- Remaining runtime at the current discharge rate
- Programmable visual and audible alarm
- Programmable relay to disconnect non-essential loads or start a generator if required
- 500-amp quick-connect shunt and connection set included
- Shunt capacity selectable up to 10,000 amps
- VE.Direct communication port
- Stores a wide range of historical data to assess usage patterns and battery condition
- Wide input voltage range: 9.5 – 95 V
- High c
