In the VictronConnect app press the ”Synchronise” button to synchronise the battery monitor to 100%.Before we even get to the settings, please note that these three parameters work together to determine when your battery is at 100% State of Charge (SOC): Common LiFePO4 values are: 100Ah, 230Ah, 280Ah and 300Ah. There are of course variations of this. Charged Voltage (v) Prevalence of congenital hydrocephalus in california, 1991-2000. Pediatr Neurol. 2011; 45( 2):67–71. [ PubMed] [ Google Scholar] The auxiliary input can be used to monitor the voltage of a second battery or the midpoint of a battery bank. The auxiliary input can also be used for battery temperature monitoring, together with the optional Temperature sensor for BMV.

The SmartShunt can also be connected to any device in the GX family including the Colour Control GX and the new Cerbo GX using an optional VE.Direct cable. This provides the GX device with battery data for system control – and there’s no need to find room for a BMV display.By connect I mean I can launch VictronConnect and see from the Device List the basic live reporting information sent from the shunt. So far so good. It's doing what I hoped it would do.

The SmartShunt 500A is an all in one battery monitor, only without a display. Your phone acts as the display. The SmartShunt connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app on your phone (or tablet) and you can conveniently read out all monitored battery parameters, like state of charge, time to go, historical information and much more. The SmartShunt can do more than comprehensively monitor your main battery bank – additionally you can choose to either:That said however, what I can't do from that distance is enter into the shunt's next section in the app to edit the shunts various settings. The app will try to re-connect a few times but fails then stalls. So to fully connect and edit I have to be within a few feet of the device. Not ideal but I figure once it's set up properly I should be good. Time will tell. The battery monitor estimates how long the battery can support the present load. This is the “time-to-go” readout and is the actual time left until the battery is discharged to the set “discharge floor”. The discharge floor is by default set at 50%. For the discharge floor setting see the Discharge floor chapter. If the load is fluctuating heavily, it is best not to rely on this reading too much, as it is a momentary readout and should be used as a guideline only. We recommend the use of the state of charge readout for accurate battery monitoring. Set the Peukert exponent according the battery specification sheet. If the Peukert exponent is unknown, set it at 1.25 for lead-acid batteries and set it at 1.05 for lithium batteries. A value of 1.00 disables the Peukert compensation. The Peukert value for lead- acid batteries can be calculated. Charge efficiency factor (%) Epidemiology of cerebrospinal fluid shunting. Pediatr Neurosurg. 1995; 23( 5):254–9. [ PubMed] [ Google Scholar] A zero current calibration is (almost) never needed. Only perform this procedure in case the battery monitor shows a current while you are absolutely sure that there is no actual current flowing. The only way to be sure is to physically disconnect all wires and cables connected to the SYSTEM MINUS side of the shunt. Do this by unscrewing the shunt bolt and removing all cables and wires from that side of the shunt. The alternative, switching loads or chargers off, is NOT accurate enough as this does not eliminate small standby currents. Closing

The time-to-go averaging period specifies the time window (in minutes) that the moving averaging filter works. A value of 0 It’s likely you’ll want to use more than one appliance at a time. It is therefore important to factor the total wattage into your inverter calculations. When connecting with the VictronConnect app, while an alarm is active, the alarm will show in the app. Alternatively, when the battery monitor is connected to a GX device, the alarm will show on the GX device display or the VRM portal. In vitro hydrodynamic properties of the miethke ProGAV hydrocephalus shunt. Cerebrospinal Fluid Res. 2006; 3( 1):9. [ PMC free article] [ PubMed] [ Google Scholar] Included in the box are two fused-cables for +ive connection; and for second battery – or midpoint – monitoring.A connection with the VictronConnect app is possible via Bluetooth or USB. The VictronConnect app can be used to read out all monitored battery parameters or to change settings. To connect via USB, an optional VE.Direct to USB interface is needed. This is the actual state of charge of the battery in a percentage and is compensated for both the Peukert efficiency and charge efficiency. The state of charge is the best way to monitor the battery. This parameter is used to tell the battery monitor how big the battery is. This setting should already have been done during the initial installation. The setting is the battery capacity in Amp hours (Ah). Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus: a systematic review of diagnosis and outcome. Neurosurgery. 2001; 49( 5):1166–86.
