7. FAQ
Q1: Can several MPPTs be paired to one Smart Battery Sense or BMV?
Yes. And, when SmartSolars are connected to the same network, they will also synchronize their charge state.
Q2: Is VE.Smart Networking disrupted if I connect a smartphone to it at the same time?
Not at all. It is possible to connect with a smartphone, computer or tablet, at the same time.
Q3: Will you add the same functionality to the BlueSmart Charger product range?
Yes we will - though the exact functionality, and the models to be included has yet to be determined.
Q4: Can Smart Battery Sense be used as a standalone product?
Yes. In this instance it will simply act as a voltage- and temperature-measuring device. Note that the functionality is limited in that it does not (yet) show the graphs or other data which would normally be generated from these measurements.
Q5: Can I use Smart Battery Sense in systems already controlled by a GX device (eg CCGX/VenusGX)?
Yes, but keep in mind that if, voltage or temperature information is also present on the GX Device, the charger will use that information in favor of the information coming from the Smart Battery Sense. The GX device already has, in most cases, voltage sensing (soon they will have temperature sensing too), so adding a Smart Battery Sense to the installation is not necessary. For further information please see: CCGX/Distributed Voltage and Current Control.
