INTRODUCTION
The BMPRO BC300 External Shunt and CommLink devices provide wireless battery
monitoring for high current BatteryPlus35 and J35 systems.
The addition of the BC300 External Shunt and CommLink to BP35 & J35 systems
allows high current loads to be directly connected to the battery via the BC300
External Shunt. This enhances the system behavior with temperature monitoring
of the battery for greater protection. It also maintains Time Remaining and State
of Charge determination of the battery even at high currents and with directly
connected loads.
The BC300 External Shunt is designed for 12V batteries up to 800Ah in capacity.
The shunt is rated for ±240A of continuous current and transmits monitored data
wirelessly.
The BC300 External Shunt monitors the following battery properties:
• Voltage
• Charging/discharging current
• Energy usage (Ah)
• Temperature
Note: when installing the BC300 External Shunt a direct connection to the battery is
required.
The CommLink provides wireless reception of the battery data transmitted by the
BC300 External Shunt. Data received by the CommLink is forwarded to the CAN
communication bus for reception by a BatteryPlus35 or J35. The CAN communication
bus also provides operating power for the CommLink.
