Product Usage Instructions

Connecting to VictronConnect App

1. Install the VictronConnect app on your phone or tablet.
2. Ensure that your SmartShunt IP65 is within the Bluetooth range (10-15 meters).
3. Open the VictronConnect app and go to the device connection screen.
4. Select the SmartShunt IP65 from the list of available devices.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the pairing process.

Connecting to GX Device

1. Ensure that your GX device is powered on and connected to the same network as your SmartShunt IP65.
2. Connect the SmartShunt IP65 to the GX device using a VE.Direct cable.
3. On the GX device, navigate to the device connection settings.
4. Select the SmartShunt IP65 from the list of available devices.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the connection process.

Wiring the SmartShunt

The SmartShunt IP65 can be wired in different configurations depending on your system requirements. Here is a basic wiring setup:

Note on Bluetooth Signal Range

The SmartShunt IP65 uses Bluetooth for connectivity, and the range of the Bluetooth signal can be affected by various factors.
Here are some important points to consider:

• The shunt and electric cables may negatively influence the range of the Bluetooth signal.
• The typical range is 10-15 meters, which is satisfactory for most cases.
• However, the presence of other electrically conducting elements, such as a metal chassis or seawater, may reduce the range to an unacceptable level.
• In such cases, you can improve the range by adding a VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle (ASS030536011) to the system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use the SmartShunt IP65 as a replacement for a BMV battery monitor?
A: Yes, the SmartShunt IP65 is a good alternative to a BMV battery monitor, especially if you prefer a solution with less wiring and clutter.

Q: How can I view the alarms of the SmartShunt IP65?
A: Alarms are only visible via the VictronConnect app or GX device connected to the SmartShunt IP65.

Q: Does the SmartShunt IP65 have a programmable relay?
A: No, the SmartShunt IP65 does not have a programmable relay.

Q: Can I monitor a second battery with the SmartShunt IP65?
A: Yes, the SmartShunt IP65 has an auxiliary connection that can be used to monitor a second battery.

Q: Can I connect a temperature sensor to the SmartShunt IP65?
A : Yes, the SmartShunt IP65 has a connection for a temperature sensor.

INSTRUCTION

• The SmartShunt IP65 is an all-in-one battery monitor, only without a display. Your phone acts as the display.
• The SmartShunt IP65 is water resistant and is available in a 500 A, 1000 A or 2000 A version.
• The SmartShunt IP65 connects via Bluetooth to the VictronConnect app on your phone (or tablet) and you can conveniently read out all monitored battery parameters, like state of charge, time to go, historical information and much more.
• Alternatively, the SmartShunt IP65 can be connected and be read by a GX device.
• Connection to the SmartShunt is made via a VE.Direct cable.
• The SmartShunt is a good alternative for a BMV battery monitor, especially for systems where battery monitoring is needed but less wiring and clutter is wanted.
• The SmartShunt is equipped with Bluetooth, has a VE.Direct port and an auxiliary connection that can be used to monitor a second battery, for midpoint monitoring, or to connect a temperature sensor.

Differences compared to BMV-712 Battery Monitor

• No visual and audible alarm (alarms are only visible via the VictronConnect app or GX device).
• No programmable relay.
• Waterproof.
• The shunt is attached to the battery monitor unit.

VE.Direct cable

| 1.5 m cable with a VE.Direct socket. Note that a (not included) VE.Direct cable is needed to connect a GX

device.

Temperature sensor| Optional (ASS000100000)
A note regarding the range of the Bluetooth signal| The shunt and the electric cables do negatively influence the range of the Bluetooth signal. The resulting range of 10-15 meter is however satisfactory in most cases.

The proximity of other electrically conducting elements, such as the metal chassis of a vehicle or seawater around the hull if a boat, may reduce the range of the Bluetooth signal to an unacceptable level. The solution in such a case is to add a VE.Direct Bluetooth Dongle (ASS030536011) to the system, and to switch off Bluetooth in the

SmartShunt.
