I’d like to use a temperature sensor connected to my BMV 712, and have my MPPT 75/15 receive that temperature data wirelessly. I currently have a shunt connected to monitor battery battery voltage, but there’s only room for one shunt to be connected to the 712. I can find no manual specific to the temperature sensor, and the manual for the 712 does not provide enough detail on connecting sensors/probes.
Three questions:
1. If I connect the temperature sensor probe, does it also communicate battery voltage to the BMV 712, or must I have two sensors installed, one for temp and one for voltage?
2. For the temperature sensor to function, do I need to select the temperature as the auxiliary input on the BMV 712?
3. And if I do need to set temperature as the auxiliary input, then how do I get the BMV 712 to monitor my starter battery in addition to my house bank?
Regards,
Ed
