Product catalog summary
Bluetooth Integration
The BMV Smart is equipped with Bluetooth, aligning with the Internet of Things (IoT) era. This feature allows for wireless communication between Victron Energy products, simplifying installation and enhancing performance.

Victron Bluetooth App
The app enables users to customize settings, monitor data, view historical data, and update software via a Bluetooth-enabled device.

Installation
Installation is straightforward with all electrical connections made to the quick connect PCB on the current shunt. The package includes an RJ12 cable, battery cable with fuse, and mounting accessories.

Midpoint Voltage Monitoring
This feature provides early warnings for battery issues by measuring midpoint voltage, crucial for series-connected batteries. The Battery Balancer is recommended for maximizing lead-acid battery life.

Low Current Draw
The device has a very low current draw, important for preventing damage to Li-ion batteries when discharged.

Bi-stable Alarm Relay
This feature prevents increased current draw during an alarm.

Additional Features
  • Monitors battery voltage, current, power, ampere-hours, and state of charge.
  • Displays remaining time at current discharge rate.
  • Programmable alarms and relay for load management.
  • 500 Amp quick connect shunt with selection capability up to 10,000 Amps.
  • VE.Direct communication port for data storage and analysis.
  • Wide input voltage range and high current measurement resolution.

Specifications
  • Supply voltage range: 6.5 - 70 VDC
  • Current draw: < 1mA with backlight off
  • Battery capacity: 1 - 9999 Ah
  • Operating temperature: -40 to +50°C

BMV-712 Smart-1

BMV-712 Smart: Bluetooth inside 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. BMV-712 Smart 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. BMV shunt 500A/50mV With quick connect pcb 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. We recommend our Battery Balancer (BMS012201000) to maximize service life of series-connected lead-acid batteries. Very low current draw from the battery Current consumption: 0.7Ah per month (1mA) @12V and 0.6Ah per month (0.8mA) @ 24V 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 100Ah battery capacity. The battery will be damaged if the remaining capacity reserve is drawn from the battery. A residual current of 10mA for example may damage a 200Ah 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 – 70V - High current measurement resolution: 10 mA (0.01A) - Additional input to measure voltage (of a second battery), temperature or midpoint voltage, and corresponding alarm and relay settings See the VictronConnect BMV app Discovery Sheet for more screenshots
