1 QUICK START GUIDE
This quick start guide assumes that the BMV is being installed for the first
time, or that factory settings have been restored.
Please see the appendix at the end of this manual for wiring suggestions.
The factory settings are suitable for the average lead acid battery:
flooded, GEL or AGM.
The BMV will automatically detect the nominal voltage of the battery
system immediately after completion of the setup wizard (for details and
limitations of automatic nominal voltage detection, see section 3.8).
Therefore the only settings which need to be made are the battery capacity
(BMV-700 and BMV-700H), and the functionality of the auxiliary input
(BMV-702 and BMV-712).
Please install the BMV in accordance with the quick installation guide.
After inserting the fuse in the positive supply cable to the main battery, the
BMV will automatically start the setup wizard.
The setup wizard below must be completed before other settings can be
made. Alternatively, use the VictronConnect app and a smart phone.
Remarks:
a) In case of solar applications or Li-ion batteries several settings may
have to be changed. Please refer to section 2.3 resp. section 6. The setup
wizard below must be completed before other settings can be made.
b) When using a shunt other than the one supplied with the BMV,
please refer to section 3.6. The setup wizard below must be completed
before other settings can be made.
c) Bluetooth
Use a Bluetooth Smart enabled device (smart phone or tablet) for easy
and fast initial setup, for changing settings and for real time monitoring.
BMV-700 or -702: VE.Direct Bluetooth Smart dongle needed.
BMV-712 Smart: Bluetooth enabled, no dongle needed. Ultra low current
draw.
