Figure 3 details connection of the caravan battery to the J35. After fitting a new battery to the J35, make sure that it is configured in the JHub App. Correctly configuring the battery capacity and profile will ensure that the J35 will select the best charging parameters for the caravan battery in use, and the software accurately estimates battery usage.
DISCONNECTING A BATTERY FROM THE J35 To disconnect a battery from the J35: Power off all loads connected to the J35, the easiest way is with the switch connected to the J35 Load Isolation input Turn off and remove all power sources (mains/solar/AUX) to the J35 Disconnect the battery’s negative (black) terminal from the J35 Batt-...
The J35 may be powered from mains, AUX or solar inputs to provide battery charging current and power to caravan loads. If mains and one or more other sources are available to the J35, the J35 will be powered exclusively by the mains source.
10.5V 11.5V Table 6: LVD Mode voltage thresholds The J35 will enter the two stages of LVD, Sleep Mode and Storage Mode, when the caravan’s battery voltage falls below the LVD thresholds. SLEEP MODE The J35 will provide power to the CAN bus. This allows you to continue to monitor battery consumption from the battery monitor.
If your battery is heavily discharged, disconnect it from the J35 and charge with a stand-alone charger. Reconnect the battery once the battery voltage has recovered to normal levels. Heavily Discharged Batteries (LiFePO4) (J35 Model D only) The J35D can recover and charge a heavily discharged LiFePO4 battery. The internal Battery Management System (BMS) of a LiFePO4 battery will turn off if it detects that the battery is heavily discharged.
PAIRING WITH THE CONTROLNODE102 To pair the ControlNode102 to your own personal mobile device: Make sure that the ControlNode102 is connected to the J35 and that the J35 is powered on. Turn on Bluetooth on your own personal device Press the Pairing Button on the ControlNode102. The LED Status Indicator on the ControlNode102 will flash green, indicating you have 30 seconds to pair to the ControlNode102.
If any fuse continues to fail, please contact your dealership for guidance. MAINTENANCE Use a dry or moist cotton cloth to lightly remove dust or dirt from the J35. Do not use alcohol, thinners, benzene or any other chemical cleaner as these products may degrade the housing surface.
No, the ControlNode101T (orange dot) is only capable of pairing to the JHub Tablet. BATTERY I’ve fitted a battery to the J35, but it’s not detected by my BMPRO battery monitor? Check the following: Battery connections are tight and not loose or corroded...
I think one of my loads is not receiving power? The load may be faulty, activating the protective electronic fuse and turning the load off. If this is the case, the LED Status Indicator on the J35 will flash a solid red.

Battery is charged at Absorption voltage until the current drops below 2A or Boost-Bulk-Absorption timeout occurs. FLOAT Charging current is limited to 10A to keep the battery level topped up. Charging will remain in Float for 6 hours. After Float timeout, the J35 will enter back into Boost-Bulk-Absorption modes.
