triggering a relais when sufficient power

My system: smart MPPT 100/50, smart BMV512, smart Batteryprotect (the big one), 12V system, batteries AMG 690AH, solar 500W functional.

I'd like to run a pump on solar during summertime (for a pool).

I'd hate to drain the batteries though.

Any relais in the system I've got that can help out here?


any advice welcome,

Jan

@westen

The relay at the back of the BMV 712 - is programmable, (easily set using Victron Connect) you can set it to open or close on certain SOC settings. Be aware it can only switch up to 1 Amp

So it would need to trigger a contractor for the load not run it direct.
