VE.Direkt cable from BMV 602S for BMV 712 Smart

Good morning everybody,

I would like to exchange the BMV 602S for the BMV 712 Smart.

The question I have is:

Can I use the existing VE.Direkt cable from the BMV 602S for the BMV 712 Smart?

Hi @jjm,

Sorry, but no.

The 602 requires a different cable to the 712 when connecting to a GX device.

Hi Guy,

Sorry, my mistake.
I meant the cable from the shunt to the BMV.
;-)
Can I use the same?

No. The BMV-712 has a different connector on it to the older BMV-602S.

The BMV-712 need the cable which has the same connector on both ends. Like this one:
