The BMV-600 and BMV-602 are our newest high precision battery monitors. The essential function of a battery monitor is to calculate ampere-hours consumed and the state of charge of a battery. Ampere-hours consumed are calculated by integrating the current flowing in or out of the battery.

  • Highest resolution: 10mA (0,01A) with 500A shunt.

  • Lowest current consumption: 1mA.

  • Easiest to wire: the BMV-600 comes with shunt, 10 meter RJ 12 UTP cable and 2 meter battery cable with fuse. No other components needed.

  • Easiest to install: separate front bezel for square or round appearance; ring for rear mounting and screws for front mounting.

    The BMV-602 has a second voltage measurement input. This input can for example be used to measure the voltage of a starter battery.


 

 
 

 

BOGART ENGINEERING

The TriMetric battery monitor is designed to assist in battery care, conservation and system maintenance of battery powered systems that use storage batteries with system voltage from 12-48 volts.

It provides the user with information on battery "volts", "amps" and "amp-hours" and "battery percent full" information, based on measuring the amp-hours removed from the battery system. Reliability, accuracy and simplicity are key product objectives. The TriMetric requires an external shunt located near the batteries to measure "amps" and "amp-hours". The meter readout may be located hundreds of feet away from batteries and is usually connected to the shunt with a 4 wire cable. “Suggested retail” price is $169, not including the “double gang” electrical box shown above, or necessary shunt. Cost with these will be less than $200.

 

 
 

 

 

The new PentaMetric battery monitor system offers a lot more capability than the TriMetric monitor. It measures 1 or 2 battery systems with a common negative. With one battery system, battery current plus two charging sources/loads can be measured.

The Pentametric System consists of these components:
1. Data input unit to collect, process and log data (near batteries)
2. Optional readout unit (shown above) with 2 line LCD display and control buttons
This connects to input unit with 4 wire cable up to 1000 feet away.
3. Optional computer interface with software to control and read out all data.
Data may be accessed and controlled using either (or both) the optional LCD or the computer interface.
