Victron Battery Monitor Question (aftermarket device)

December 25, 2017, 07:27:30 pm

I would like to reset the history in the Victron BMV-712 battery monitor.  I have read the manual, searched via Google, searched settings on device and on the android app.  I'd like to reset the lowest voltage and highest voltage and cannot figure out how to do it.

Can anyone advise on how to do so?

Equipment is seven 180 amp solar panels, BMV-712,  CCGX Color Display, MPPT 150/100, MultiPlus 12/3000/120-50 120V

Dan, I looked through the manual and am not sure I see how to clear the high and low voltage history.  There are 56 things you can set on the BMV-702.  the only way I see to clear those out is to do a restore and then a basic setup.  I attached a link to the manual if you need it.

From the manual ...

1.3 Important combined button functions
(see also section 4.1: using the menus)
a) Restore factory settings
Press and hold SETUP and SELECT simultaneously for 3 seconds

3.5 History data
The BMV stores events which can be used at a later date to evaluate
usage patterns and battery health.
Select the history data menu by pressing ENTER when in normal mode
(see section 4.3).

You could call Alan at BayMarineSupply and ask or the support person where you bought it.

I figured out how to clear history from the Victron BMV-712.  Must use the actual device, not the cell phone app.

- Press setup for 2-3 seconds to enter setup
  -- Use + and - to scroll through setup
  -- Using the + button scroll to # 63 which is clear history
  -- When # 63 clear history displays on the screen in  scrolling text, push select twice in a row
      --- When it beeps, history is reset
  -- Press setup to exit

I had some bogus values in high and low voltage caused during intial install.  Now I have good values which will uppdate over time.  It will also clear any alarm history, cumulative Amp hours,  watts, charge cycles, etc as well.
