The BMV can also be synchronised when in normal operating mode by holding the + and – buttons
simultaneously for 3 seconds.
4.2.2 Relay settings
Remark: thresholds are disabled when set at 0
_______________________________________________________________
11. Relay mode
DFLT Default mode. The relay thresholds Nos. 16 up to 31 can be used to control the relay.
CHRG Charger mode. The relay will close when the state of charge falls below setting 16
(discharge floor) or when the battery voltage falls below setting 18 (low voltage relay).
The relay will be open when the state of charge is higher than setting 17 (clear state of
charge relay) and the battery voltage is higher than setting 19 (clear low voltage relay).
Application example: start and stop control of a generator, together with settings 14 and 15.
REM Remote mode. The relay can be controlled via the VE.Direct interface. Relay settings
12 and 14 up to 31 are ignored as the relay is under the full control of the device connected
via the VE.Direct interface.
_______________________________________________________________
12. Invert relay
This function enables selection between a normally de-energised (contact open) or a
normally energised (contact closed) relay. When inverted, the open and closed conditions
as described in setting 11 (DFLT and CHRG), and settings 14 up to 31 are inverted.
The normally energised setting will slightly increase supply current in the normal operating mode.
Default
OFF: Normally de-energised
_______________________________________________________________
13. Relay state (read only)
Displays whether the relay is open or closed (de-energised or energised).
_______________________________________________________________
14. Relay minimum closed time
Sets the minimum amount of time that the CLOSED condition will remain present after the
relay has been energised.
Application example: set a minimum generator run time (relay in CHRG mode).
______________________________________________________________
15. Relay-off delay
Sets the amount of time the 'de-energise relay' condition must be present before the relay
opens.
Application example: keep a generator running for a while to better charge the battery (relay in CHRG
mode).
Default
0 minutes
_______________________________________________________________
16. SoC relay
(Discharge floor)
When the state of charge percentage has fallen below this value, the relay will close.
The time-to-go displayed is the time to reach the discharge floor.
