veKonvert – Compatibility List

veKonvert is compatible with the following Victron products... BMV -700 BMV -702 BMV -700H BMV-712 Smart BMV-710H Smart BMV-712 Smart Rev2 SmartShunt 500A/50mV SmartShunt 1000A/50mV SmartShunt 2000A/50mV All MPPT Charge Controllers NOTE - veKonvert is not compatible with Victron Chargers and Inverters. It should also not be plugged in to the VE.Direct interfaces of any Victron “Consumers” such as Multiplus, Quattro, Cerbo, etc.

How do I setup and calibrate my boat’s the veKonvert for my boat’s battery system?

veKonvert connects to the SmartShunt via the veDirect interface. All calibration of the boat’s battery capacity etc is done via the Bluetooth interface integrated into the SmartShunt. Download the Victron app and follow the set up instructions included with the SmartShunt. There’s no calibration required on the veKonvert interface

What will my multi function display show?

Most popular MFDs show real time battery voltage, charge/discharge current, state of charge and capacity remaining. The Victron app will also provide additional historical information which is useful for battery maintenance.

Can I connect multiple batteries?

Yes. Each battery bank will require a veKonvert interface.

Are larger shunts available?

As standard the BM100 includes a 500A shunt. 1000A and 2000A variants are available to special order. Please contact us.

BM100 - Boat Battery Monitoring System

BM100 – Battery monitoring system for NMEA 2000 systems

432,00€

“The BM100 is a complete system comprising SmartShunt and veKonvert NMEA 2000 interface. It is part of Digital Yacht’s iSeaSense range of NMEA 2000 boat instruments. With this solution, your multi function display becomes a sophisticated battery and energy management system.”

KEY FEATURES

Digital Yacht’s new BM100 battery monitoring system allows highly accurate DC voltage, current and capacity measurements enabling reliable monitoring of your boat’s battery and electrical system.

Core to the system is the SmartShunt. It measures battery voltage and current. Based on these measurements, it intelligently calculates the battery’s state of charge and the time to depletion for the remaining charge. It also keeps track of historical data, such as deepest discharge and average discharge current as well as the number of charge and discharge cycles. The smart shunt can also monitor the voltage of a 2^nd battery – typically dedicated to engine starting.

The system features a NMEA 2000 interface so your navigation multi-function display or plotter can display all key parameters. Modern MFDs from leading manufacturers such as Garmin, Raymarine, Furuno and Navico allow electrical battery data to be displayed via their NMEA 2000 interface. Alarms and alerts for low capacity and voltage can also be enabled.

The BM100 also has a standalone wireless Bluetooth interface so your mobile phone or iPad can connect and display current, voltage, capacity, additional historical data, state of charge information and time to go based on remaining battery capacity.

The product is a collaboration between Victron Energy and Digital Yacht. The system utilises Victron’s proprietary VE.Direct data connectivity as a source for the NMEA 2000 data.

The BM100 is part of a wider group of products now introduced by Digital Yacht which bring NMEA 2000 connectivity to Victron systems using the VE.Direct interface.

Victron solar panel controllers (MPPTs) and battery monitors can now also interconnect to NMEA 2000 via the veKonvert interface.

We’re increasingly reliant on DC battery electrical power while afloat for lighting, refrigeration, pumps, winches etc so having accurate battery information and monitoring charge from various sources is essential. The service life of batteries depends on many factors. Battery life may be shortened by under-charging, over-charging, excessively deep discharges, excessive charge or discharge currents, and by high ambient temperature.

Monitoring the battery with the BM100 will give important feedback to the user so that remedial measures can be taken when necessary. Doing this will extend battery life. There’s also an optional battery temperature sensor available.

The BM100 can also integrate with Digital Yacht’s other NMEA 2000 and wireless instruments which offer a hybrid NMEA 2000 and wireless display options.
