Vetus BW Battery Monitoring Unit

• Voltage drop alarm
• Lighting battery relay
• Starter battery charger and CP battery charger (up to 3A charging current with a charger/inverter)
• Three-channel battery separator with minimal voltage drop

The control unit includes a relay that automatically disconnects the household network battery from the load before it can fully discharge, significantly extending battery life.

Specifications:

• Suitable for 12V or 24V systems
• Three-channel battery separator
• Maximum charging current of 125A
• Relay (70A) for lighting network battery
• Automatic shutdown of lighting network battery when voltage is too low
• Trip voltage: 10.5 volts (for 12V systems), 22 volts (for 24V systems) with a one-minute delay
• Switching voltage: 11.5 volts (for 12V systems), 23.5 volts (for 24V systems)
• Unit dimensions (D x W x H): 220mm x 87mm x 133mm
• Weight: 1.7 kg

The control unit includes a remote control panel with a 3-digit LCD screen, providing precise voltage monitoring (accuracy of 0.1V) for one of the three batteries (household network, CP, starter). An intermittent audible signal alerts you to voltage drops below a certain level. You can select the battery, control the household network relay, and more from the panel. The panel connects to the monitor using a thin UTP cable.

Remote Control Panel Specifications:

• 3-digit LCD screen, accuracy: 0.1V
• Indications: panel on/off, alarm, relay, "generator recharge," selected battery
• Buttons for: on/off panel, on/off alarm, on/off local network via relay, battery selection
• Panel dimensions: 161mm x 99mm
• Cut dimensions: 128mm x 76mm

If your vessel has dual propulsion with two DC generators, you can control two monitoring units from a single panel by adding an additional control unit and connecting cable. Each panel can indicate one of the generators, while all other functions remain fully operational.
