Recently I purchased a Multiplus to add to my little boat installation. This came with a temperature sensor (ASS000001000). As the installation already has a SmartShunt in play, could I use the temperature sensor to connect to SmartShunt? Or must I use the sensor for the BMV (ASS000100000)?
What are the technical differences?
Best regards,
They are not compatible. The one with the Multiplus is a standalone temperature sensor that is electrically isolated. The one for the BMV is electrically conductive as it provides both the 12V positive voltage signal and supply to the shunt and the temperature.
As an aside, if you have a Cerbo or Ekrano the one from the Multiplus can be used on this.
Thanks Mr. Farnell,
For now I stick with battery temp monitoring via the Multiplus instead of via the Cerbo, as it is closer to the battery.
Best regards,
Pierre
