The Votronic Energy Monitor consists of a special communication module (Bluetooth Connector S-BC) which, in conjunction with a Votronic solar charge controller (from 2013) with LCD Solar Computer S and/or the LCD Battery Computer S or VPC Jupiter with Smart Shunt, also transmits the values shown on the corresponding display to a mobile device via Bluetooth. The required app for Android or IOS is available free of charge in the Google Play Store or IOS App Store.
Connecting the Bluetooth Connector S-BC is very easy. It is simply plugged between the Votronic solar charge controller and the LCD Solar Computer S or between the Smart Shunt and the LCD Battery Computer S or VPC Jupiter using the modular cable included in the scope of delivery.
The device has 2 inputs and 2 outputs, so that 1 solar controller with LCD Solar Computer and 1 Smart Shunt with LCD Battery Computer or VPC Jupiter can be connected together to a communication module.
In this way, all the information from the on-board battery, such as voltage, charging and discharging currents and the remaining capacity, as well as all the data from the solar system can be conveniently read off via a mobile phone or tablet. In addition, the most important data is logged, graphically processed and stored for a longer period of time. It is even possible to output the data as a CSV file for your own analysis purposes. Of course, the Bluetooth Connector S-BC can also be retrofitted at any time.
The Bluetooth Connector S-BC is compatible with the following devices:
- VOTRONIC solar charge controllers in SR and MPP technology from 2014 (serial number 14Vxx.xxxxx)
- Battery Charger of type VBCS-Triple
- LCD Battery Computer S with Smart Shunt (all versions)
- VPC Jupiter with Smart Shunt (all versions)
