Smart BatteryProtect 48/100
Installation
1. The Smart BatteryProtect (SBP) must be installed in a well-ventilated area and preferably close (max 50
cm) to the battery (but, due to possible corrosive gasses not above the battery!). Voltage drop over a long
or undersized cable between the battery plus and the SBP may result in a short circuit alarm when
starting-up the load, or unexpected shutdown.
2. A properly sized fuse must be inserted according to local regulations in the cable between the battery
and the SBP.
3. The SBP is designed to allow current to flow from IN (battery) to OUT (load) terminals only.
Reverse currents from OUT to IN terminals are strictly forbidden, and
will damage the device. If you wish to use the SBP as a disconnection
for a charge source, you must orient the unit in the system so that the
current is flowing in the intended direction, IN to OUT.
4. The short circuit protection of the SBP will be activated if you try to
directly connect loads with capacitors on their input (eg inverters). For
that use case, please use the SBP to control the remote on/off switch
on the inverter, instead of disconnecting the higher power DC line.
5. Use a 1,5mm² wire (included) for the GND connection, which should
be connected directly to the battery negative terminal (or the chassis of
a vehicle). No other equipment should be connected to this wire.
6. The SBP automatically detects the system voltage once only during
initial power up. During the voltage detection the 7 segment display shows a series of flashes between the
top and lower part.
7. Do not connect the load output until the SBP has been fully programmed.
8. A remote on-off switch can be connected between Remote H and Remote L (see figure 1).
Alternatively, terminal H can be switched high (to battery positive), or terminal L can be switched low (to
battery negative).
9. A buzzer, LED or relay can be connected between the alarm output terminal and the battery positive (see
figure 1). Maximum load on the alarm output: 50 mA (short circuit proof).
Load disconnect events and alarm output options
Buzzer or LED mode (buzzer or LED connected to the alarm output):
• In case of under voltage, a continuous alarm will start after 12 seconds. The SBP will disconnect the
load after 90 seconds and the alarm will stop. Reconnect delay: 30 seconds.
• In case of over voltage, the load will be disconnected immediately and an intermittent alarm will
remain on until the overvoltage problem has been corrected. There is no reconnect delay.
Relay mode (relay connected to the alarm output):
• In case of under voltage, the relay will engage after 12 seconds. The SBP will disconnect the load
after 90 seconds and the relay will disengage.
• In case of over voltage, the load will be disconnected immediately and the alarm output will remain
inactive. Overvoltage trip level: 65.2V
Li-ion mode:
• Connect the load disconnect output of the VE.Bus BMS to Remote H terminal.
The load is disconnected immediately when the load-disconnect output of the VE.Bus BMS switches
from 'high' to 'free floating' (due to battery cell under voltage, over voltage or over temperature). The
under voltage thresholds and alarm output of the SBP are inactive in this mode.
Operation
There are 9 possible error modes and 2 warning modes, indicated by the 7 segment display and within
VictronConnect when using a Bluetooth enabled smartphone or tablet:
• Calibration failure
• Short circuit
• Over temperature / P2 Over temperature warning
• Under voltage / P3 Under voltage warning
• Over voltage
• Configuration Failure
• Reference Voltage Failure
• BMS Lockout
• Reverse current
After 5 minutes the error is no longer displayed to reduce current consumption.
Please refer to the Appendix for more info on each error.
The decimal point of the 7 segment display is used for status indication:
• On solid: the SBP attempts to activate the output
• Flash every 5s: output is active
• Flashing every 2s in Li-ion mode: output 'connecting'
Remote control and short circuit
• The SBP will connect the load 1 second after closing the remote contact.
• The SBP will disconnect the load immediately when the remote contact is opened.
• When in Li-ion mode the SBP will observe a dead period of 30 seconds after the remote input of the
SBP has become free floating. See the note under figure 4 for a detailed description.
• In case of a short circuit, the SBP will attempt to connect the load every 5 seconds. After two attempts
the display will show (short circuit detected).
Programming
When switched off (remote open), the SBP can be programmed by connecting the PROG pin to ground.
Alternatively, it can be programmed with a Bluetooth enabled smartphone or tablet using VictronConnect
The 7-segment display will first step through the shutdown and restart voltages. Disconnect the PROG pin
when the desired voltage is displayed.
The display will confirm the chosen voltage and default mode () twice.
Reconnect the PROG pin to ground if another mode is ( or ) is required. Disconnect when the required
mode is displayed.
The display will confirm the chosen voltage and mode twice.
Bluetooth can be disabled/re-enabled with the VictronConnect app or by connecting the PROG pin to
ground and selecting (enable) or (disable). See table below
