The Bluetooth Connector S-BC is compatible with the following devices:
• VOTRONIC solar charge controller in SR and MPP technology from 2013 (serial no. 13Vxx.xxxxx)
• VOTRONIC LCD Battery Computer S with smart shunt (all versions)
• VOTRONIC VPC Jupiter with smart shunt (all versions)
• VOTRONIC Battery Charger Type Triple VBCS
functionality
The Bluetooth Connector S-BC records data from a Votronic solar controller (from 2013) and / or a Votronic Smart
shunt (eg LCD battery computer S) in its internal memory and places them and current states of the Votronic Energy
monitor app via Bluetooth are available. In this manner, the entire information of the on-board battery, such as
voltage, charging and discharging currents and the remaining capacity, and all the data of the solar system, such as
solar power, solar yield and performance comfortable read over the phone or tablet and controlled. Even the issue as
a CSV file for your own analysis purposes is possible. The usual LCD displays (eg LCD Solar Computer S) can still
be used.
Installation and connection:
The Bluetooth Connector S-BC can be installed at any time later.
He has two independent connection circuits. Thus can be connected together, a solar regulator and a smart shunt.
The signals are looped through so that LCD displays (eg LCD Solar Computer S) can still be operated. When using
the smart shunts need the corresponding original display (LCD battery computer display or VPC Jupiter panel) can be
connected.
The operation of a smart shunts without solar controller and vice versa, is of course possible. Also, a second solar
controller can be connected instead of the smart shunt. The values are then billed as "a solar system."
Alternatively to the Votronic SR and MPP solar controllers may also be connected a Battery Charger type VBCS
Triple to the Bluetooth connector to represent the internal solar controller.
After connecting the Bluetooth Connector S-BC has a one-time charge from the solar charge controller register to
recognize him as "Connected". In the absence of solar power, the solar charge controller is in "hibernation" and are not
reported themselves to save energy. Once the solar charge controller was once active, it is recognized by the Bluetooth
Connector S-BC and displayed in the Votronic Energy Monitor app.
Was only a solar charging control on the Bluetooth Connector S-BC (Port 1) is connected, the Bluetooth Connector
S-BC assumes that there is a solar charge controller. In the Votronic Energy Monitor App solar view is displayed
accordingly.
installation
The connection of the Bluetooth Connector S-BC is very simple. It is simple, inserted by means of the supplied
modular cable, between the Votronic solar charging controller and the LCD solar computer S or between the smart
shunt and the LCD battery computer S VPC or Jupiter. In the case of the solar controller, the display unit is optional
and not mandatory for the operation of Bluetooth Connectors S-BC.
If only one Votronic device to the Bluetooth Connector S-BC be connected, so this always terminals (right) to the first
is connected.
