It also provides a lower-cost alternative to the Victron BMV-712 Smart for users who want Bluetooth connectivity without a permanent display.Designed for Harsh EnvironmentsWith an IP65 rating, this SmartShunt performs reliably in demanding environments such as engine rooms. As a result, and with greater flexibility, you can therefore mount it in almost any location with confidence.Installation OverviewTo install the SmartShunt,Fit it it in line with the leisure or house battery’s negative cable.Next, connect the starter or auxiliary battery’s negative cable to the shunt’s output and run fused positive supplies from each battery to the shunt’s two inputs.Alternatively, instead of monitoring a second battery’s voltage, you can use the auxiliary input for temperature monitoring (with an optional temperature sensor) or midpoint monitoring. Additionally, you can display SmartShunt data on a GX device by connecting it via a VE.Direct cable.Box Contents500A capacity IP65 SmartShunt2 × 1.5 m hardwired fused power cables1 × 1.5 m hardwired VE.Direct cableQuick installation guideKey FeaturesDisplays voltage, current, power, amp-hours consumed, state of charge (%), time-to-go, and total kWh charged/dischargedAutomatic recalibration each time the battery fully charges to maintain accuracyAutomatic detection of nominal system voltageSuitable for two batteries or battery banksLow current consumptionOptional temperature monitoring for one battery or bankMidpoint voltage monitoring optionVE.Direct communication port for integration with other Victron equipmentSuitable for 12 V, 24 V, and 48 V systems (maximum 70 V)5-year manufacturer’s warrantyDifferences Compared with the BMV-712 SmartNo programmable visual or audible alarmNo programmable relayAbout Victron EnergyVictron Energy operates at the forefront of power management technology, offering innovative and highly reliable solutions for leisure applications.
