SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read the Safety Precautions before installing or using the RVView2.
Be sure to observe all precautions without fail. Failure to observe these
instructions properly may result in personal damage, or personal injury which
depending on the circumstances may be serious and cause loss of life.
Correct installation is the most critical factor in ensuring the safe use of
the RVView2. If every consideration of these instructions has been satisfied,
the RVView2 will be safe to operate
ABOUT THE RVVIEW2
The RVView2 is a wall-mounted 12V battery monitor, designed specifically to
operate with BMPRO’s BatteryPlus35-II series (BatteryPlus35-II-SI,
BatteryPlus35-II-SR, BatteryPlus35-II-HA).
The RVView2 provides vital data at a glance including caravan battery voltage
and charging/discharging current. The RVView2 also provides an indication of
the battery’s remaining charge capacity as well as the time remaining before
the battery completely discharges – so you’ll never be left on the road
without battery power. In addition to battery monitoring, the RVView2 enables
monitoring of water levels of up to four water tanks, all from a sleek, wall
mounted back-lit display. With the OdysseyLink103, the RVView2 becomes part of
your Odyssey system.
With the Odyssey system, you can use BMPRO’s free Odyssey App to monitor your
battery and control your caravan’s water pumps from your smartphone! For more
information about Odyssey, refer to your Odyssey Owner’s Manual.

support
Why has the RVView2 screen turned off?
The RVView2 receives power to run the monitor from the BatteryPlus35-II. If
the BatteryPlus35-II shuts power to the monitor, the RVView2 screen will turn
off. The BatteryPlus35-II will shut power to the RVView2 if:
- The switch connected to the BatteryPlus35-II RSW input has been This turns off power to all caravan loads and accessories connected to the BatteryPlus35-II CAN bus, such as the RVView2.Check that the switch has not been activated.
- Battery voltage is very low. The BatteryPlus35-II will enter Storage Mode to conserve remaining battery voltage, which will disable power to all caravan loads and accessories connected to the BatteryPlus35-II CAN
Connect the BatteryPlus35-II to a power source and begin battery charging.
When the battery is sufficiently charged, the BatteryPlus35-II will enable
power to the RVView2.
Why is the input/output current showing as 0.0A when there is an active
current?
The RVView2 can only display input or output figures of 0.5A or higher. If the
level of current is lower than 0.5A, the RVView2 will display 0.0A.
My BatteryPlus35-II should be charging but there is no charging indicator on
the RVView2?
The charging indicator will only appear if the charging current to the battery
is 1.0A or higher.
If you have BMPRO’s BC300 + CommLink installed, check that it is wired
correctly.
Why are four water tanks displaying on the RVView2 when I don’t have four
connected?
The RVView2 will always display four water tanks. If a tank is not connected,
it will show a tank with one segement full, the same as if a tank was
connected that is either empty or less than one-quarter full.
