RS-BM500 Battery Monitor with Remote Shunt
The RS-BM500 is a precision battery shunt and remote display system for monitoring battery voltage, current and remaining capacity. Designed to mount the shunt close to the battery and the display on a wall or panel, it gives clear, reliable readings so you can manage power with confidence.
Benefits
- Know battery status at a glance so you avoid unexpected power loss and plan charging cycles more effectively.
- Accurate capacity tracking helps you maximize battery life and prevents over-discharge.
- Remote display placement lets you monitor batteries from a convenient, visible location instead of next to the battery bank.
- Simple wiring and included shielded cable reduce installation time and the chance of wiring errors.
- Low standby and working dissipation conserve battery energy when monitoring is active.
Features
- High-precision shunt that mounts next to the battery for accurate current measurement.
- Separate remote display designed for wall or panel mounting with a snap-in installation.
- Included shielded cable to connect the shunt and remote display for reliable signal transmission.
- Direct B- connection requirement to the shunt for correct measurements and isolation of the negative terminal.
- B+ lead supplied to connect the shunt to the battery positive; prevents stacking mismatched terminal sizes.
- Capacity setting adjustable (user-configurable) to match battery bank size and system demands.
- Range and accuracy suitable for a wide variety of battery systems, from small setups to large banks.
