Setting 72
If you wish to use the battery monitor to monitor individual DC circuits rather than as a whole-of-system battery monitor
, you can
change the "Monitor mode" setting in the "Misc" menu from "Battery Monitor" to "DC Energy Meter".
If "DC meter" is selected, you can select the following types:
Solar charger, Wind charger, Shaft generator, Alternator, Fuel cell, Water generator, DC-DC charger, AC charger, Generic source,
Generic load, Electric drive, Fridge, Water pump, Bilge pump, DC system, Inverter, Water heater.
When connected to a GX device, the type, the current and the power is shown in the user interface, and this information is also
available on the VRM Portal.
When the GX device is also configured as type “has DC System”, the GX does more than just recording and visualisation:
1. The power shown in the DC system box is the sum of power reported by all battery monitors configured as such. Having
multiple meters can be useful, for example, in a catamaran, so that the DC systems in the port hull and in the starboard hull
are being measured.
2. The DC system current is being compensated for when setting DVCC charge current limits to inverter/chargers and solar
chargers. For example, when a load of 50A is being measured, and CCL by the battery is 25A, the limit given to the inverter/
charger or solar charger is 75A.
See the GX device documentation for more information about these advanced features, especially refer to the Distributed voltage
and current control chapter.
7.7. Additional settings
These VictronConnect settings are not located in the VictronConnect settings menu but are located elsewhere in the
VictronConnect app.
7.7.1. Reset history
This setting can be found at the bottom of the history tab.
This setting can also be made via the head unit. For more information see the Clear history [39]chapter.
Please be aware that history data is an important tool to keep track of battery performance and is also needed
to diagnose possible battery problems. Do not clear the history unless the battery bank is replaced.
7.7.2. Reset PIN code
Note that the PIN code is only applicable when connecting to the battery monitor via Bluetooth.
This setting can be found in the settings of the V
ictronConnect app itself. Leave the battery monitor by clicking on the ← arrow.
This will bring you back to the device list of the VictronConnect app. Now, click on the menu symbol next to the battery monitor
listing.
A new window will open which allows you to reset the PIN code back to its default: 000000. To be able to reset the PIN code
you will need the enter the battery monitor unique PUK code. The PUK code is printed on the product information sticker on the
Battery monitor.
7.7.3. Temperature unit setting
This setting can be found in the settings of the VictronConnect app itself. Leave the battery monitor page by clicking on the ←
arrow. This will bring you back to the device list of the VictronConnect app. Click on the menu
symbol and then click on the
