Aux connection for temperature monitoring

The Aux connection can be used to monitor the temperature of a battery. To be able to monitor temperature you
will need to purchase the: "Temperature sensor for BMV". This is a cable with integrated temperature sensor with
part number ASS000100000. Please be aware that this temperature sensor is a different temperature sensor
than the temperature sensors that are used with the Victron inverter/chargers and battery chargers.
This is how to make the connections:
Connect the M8 cable eye of the temperature
•
sensor to the positive terminal of the battery.
• Connect the ferrule pin of the red cable (with
fuse) to the SmartShunt by pushing the pin into to
the "Vbatt +" terminal.
Connect the ferrule pin of the black cable to the
•
SmartShunt by pushing the pin into the "Aux"
terminal.
Please note that if the temperature sensor is used, the red power cables that came with the SmartShunt are not
needed. The temperature sensor will replace these cables.

3.5 GX device connection

If the system contains a GX device, the SmartShunt can be connected to a GX device via a VE.Direct cable, part
number ASS03053xxxx. Once connected, the GX device can be used to read out all monitored battery
parameters. For more information see chapter 6.2: "Connecting to a GX device and VRM".
