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.

USING YOUR RVVIEW2

The RVView2 is designed to work with the BatteryPlus35-II to display important information on your water tank status and 12V power system, including your battery. The RVView2 does not have an ON/OFF button. The RVView2 receives power directly from the BatteryPlus35-II through the connected data cable. The RVView2 will automatically turn off if it is not receiving power from the BatteryPlus35-II. A custom cable will have been supplied with your RVView2 which is required for connecting to the BatteryPlus35-II or the OdysseyLink.

SERVICING

Do not attempt to service the RVView2 yourself, OR dismantle, modify or repair the RVView2 yourself; this will void your warranty. If your RVView2 requires servicing, please consult your BMPRO dealer or visit teambmpro.com for assistance.

FAQS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Need more help troubleshooting your RVView2? Refer to our website for more information at teambmpro.com/technical-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 user activated the remote switch connected to the BatteryPlus35-II. This turns
off power to the data cable connecting the RVView2 and BatteryPlus35-II. Check that the switch has not been activated.
The BatteryPlus35-II has entered Storage Mode and to conserve remaining battery voltage will disable power to the RVView2. To repower the RVView2, plug 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.
