Using the Venus GX and BMV-702 Battery Monitor
The SICS Venus GX is the information centre of the SICS. It provides real-time data on the performance
and status of the power system, as well as an archive of this data from the previous 30 days.
The Venus GX and BMV-702 are supplied pre-configured and require no setting up by the user. Once
the Venus GX is configured on the TCO Network it can be accessed from an authorised workstation or
on a device connected to the external ethernet port on the rear of the SICS cabinet. The BMV-702
includes an integrated LCD display for checking the SICS battery voltage from inside the SICS cabinet.
However, it is not recommended to open the SICS cabinet during the winter period due to the risk of
condensation and heat loss from the cabinet.

To access the Venus GX, type its IP address in the URL bar of an internet browser on an authorised
