VICTRON ENERGY - BAM030710100 - Battery Monitor BMV-710H Smart

The BMV-710H Smart is the high-voltage BMV with Bluetooth built in: for battery banks of 60 to 385 V DC. State of charge, time to go, ampere-hours and history are on the panel and in the VictronConnect app on your phone — including setup, alarms and firmware updates — on traction batteries, telecom and industrial DC systems and large series strings.

This variant: standard light-grey front, standard packaging.

How it works

Because of the voltage, the 500 A shunt is supplied inside an insulated enclosure (four 3.5 mm mounting holes in its base). The enclosure goes in the bank’s negative lead, every amp in and out passes through it, and the head unit integrates the current over time to show voltage, current, power, ampere-hours consumed, state of charge and time to go, and to keep the lifetime history (deepest discharge, cycles, full discharges, cumulative Ah, minimum and maximum voltage). The head unit is powered from the bank through the fused cable. Over Bluetooth, VictronConnect shows the same readings and history as graphs, lets you configure the monitor and update its firmware. A bistable relay (60 V / 1 A) can drop loads or start a generator; the VE.Direct port connects to a GX device for VRM remote monitoring.

How it differs from the other BMV models

Compared with the BMV-700H: Bluetooth inside and a self-consumption of < 1 mA instead of < 4 mA. Like the 700H it has no auxiliary input (no second battery, midpoint or temperature). For 12 / 24 / 48 V banks use the ordinary BMV-712 Smart. Voltages above 50 V DC are dangerous — installation by a qualified person, with the system de-energised; grounded-negative systems only.

What’s in the box

Head unit with attachment sleeve, square face plate with attachment flange, 500 A shunt in its enclosure, 10 m RJ12 UTP cable, fused power cable, bag of screws and spare serial-number sticker.
