- Running 12V bilge pump (integrated float switch) connected to load output of SmartSolar 100/20 in a small well. Pump specs advise will run around 38W or thereabouts.
- WEMA level sensor connected to Tank Input on Cerbo GX (set to 2 seconds reading averaging)
- Battery is Pylontech RV100 12V
- Other hardware is 12V router with advised consumption <6.5W
Using VRM (with data read every minute) to remotely monitor installation. Logic was to have 2 independent measurements to confirm things are working OK :
- the changing sensor resistance from the level sensor
- the power consumed when the pump runs
However, the consumption data is often missing as per this image:
I assumed as the pump is running directly from the SmartSolar 100/20 it would capture the consumption - doesn't have to be 100% accurate but to be completely missing has me puzzled.
The pump will run for around 45 seconds when it cycles so maybe it is falling between the 1 minute reading gaps which i still don't understand why being connected directly to the MPPT, if that is the issue then how do i confirm via the VRM the pump has run?
Thanks.
