1.3 RECOMMENDED FUEL SENSORS (not included)
To measure the fill level, we recommend the immersion tube sensor of the TGT or TGW series for
fuel and fresh water as well as the ultrasonic sensor UTV for faeces tanks and the flow rate sensor
DFS (fresh water only). For deep tanks up to 200 cm and a very precise measurement, the pressure
sensor TDS200 (water/diesel/faeces) or TDW200 (water/faeces).
However, these sensors are not included in the scope of delivery.
Sensors from other manufacturers can also be connected. The display is configured to the
connected sensors in SETUP. Furthermore, an adjustment to the tank geometry is possible in order
to correctly display the actual tank content.
Please note: only with the DFS
flow sensors is the litre display accurate, as litres are also measured here. With all
other sensors, this is only a conversion of the measured fill level and, depending on the
sensor accuracy, can never be accurate to the litre!

3. Assembly and installation
3.1 Monitor
Mount the battery monitor in a protected,
dry and clearly visible place so that it can be
read at any time. The required mounting cut-
out is 85x85 mm, the required minimum
depth is 35mm. On the rear side there is a 3-
pole terminal for the power supply of the
monitor and the communication line to the
shunt SHE and SHP. The tank sensors are
connected via the 9-pole terminal. A
potential-free relay contact is available via
the 2-pole terminal.
A software update can be loaded onto the
monitor via a micro-SD card on the back.
The power supply to the monitor can be interrupted at any time without losing battery status data,
as this is stored in the SHE 348 shunt.
Therefore, the shunt SHE 348 should be permanently connected to the battery. If the monitor is
switched off, the shunt SHE goes into sleep mode and the current consumption of the shunt drops
to 2 mA. This is not a particular load on the battery. However, if the battery system remains
without charge for more than 3 months, the shunt should also be disconnected from the battery.
The following figure gives an overview of the connection of the monitor and the shunt SHE 348.
Battery/Tank Monitor BTM2
REV 1A - FEB 2022 - Software Version 1.xPage 5
The LIN bus connection between the monitor and the shunt is made via a 1-wire cable. This can
also be any or an existing cable. For mechanical reasons, the cable cross-section should be min.
1mm² and max. 1.5 mm².

REV 1A - FEB 2022 - Software Version 1.xPage 6
3.2 Shunt SHE for battery monitoring
Mount the shunt SHE 348 in a protected, dry place as close as possible to the battery. The shunt
must be connected in the MINUS path of the battery.
Install the active shunt SHE 348 as close as possible to the service battery. However, avoid the
shunt making contact with the positive - terminal of the batteries. Connect the side of the shunt
marked B- to the negative terminal of the main battery using a short, thick cable (35-70 mm²).
Connect the negative terminal of up to two starter batteries to the side of the shunt marked V-.
Note: If the main battery consists of several batteries connected in parallel, their common negative
terminal must be connected to the side of the shunt marked B-. The negative cables of the starter
batteries are connected to the other side (V-) of the shunt. We recommend that all negative
connections of the consumers, charging devices and the negative terminals of the starter batteries
are combined on a ground busbar and that a short cable is laid from there to the V- connection of
the shunt.- Connect the measuring lead of the shunt to the positive terminal of the main battery
via an inline fuse holder (1A). This line measures the voltage of the main battery and
simultaneously supplies the shunt with current.
It is important that no other cables are connected between the B- terminal and the
battery MINUS terminal, otherwise not all currents will be detected and the battery
management system will not work. All cables of the vehicle electrical system
including the connection cable to the starter battery must be connected to the V
side of the shunt SHE 348.
After applying the operating voltage to pin +1, the shunt goes into operation and indicates the
operating status via the integrated LED:
- Rapid flashing during firmware update of the shunt SHX
- Flashing every 1 sec. Normal operation
- Flashing every 5 sec. Sleep mode (power saving mode) when monitor off
The following connections are available on the shunt at the 5-pin connector:
Consumers, charging sources, starter
batteries
Monitored battery group
Battery/Tank Monitor BTM2
REV 1A - FEB 2022 - Software Version 1.xPage 7
1: Battery voltage measuring lead (+1) and at the same time power supply for shunt
This line is absolutely necessary for the function of the shunt and should only be disconnected
during winter storage to enable a complete recording of the battery capacity. Due to the very low
current consumption in sleep mode, the shunt does not place any additional load on the battery.
2: Voltage (+2) second battery group
Optional connection of a voltage measurement of a second battery group (starter battery), this is
then displayed as a second battery group on the monitor.
3: T-: Minus temperature sensor (brown wire) T+: Plus temperature sensor (blue wire)
Optional temperature sensor (Temp-BT) for recording the battery temperature. The temperature
sensor should be fixed to the outside of the battery housing. The temperature sensor has no active
influence on the capacity calculation or charging, but is only used for information.
4: LIN bus communication with display
The BLS monitor communicates with the SHE 348 shunt and the ACE charger via this line.
3.3 Shunt SHP for current measurement
Mount the optional shunt SHP for measuring the solar current or similar in a protected, dry
location as close as possible to the battery. The shunt must be connected in the MINUS path of the
solar system.
Connect the negative pole of the solar system to the side of the shunt marked V-.
The following connections are available on the shunt at the 5-pin connector:
1: Battery voltage measuring lead (+1) and at the same time power supply for shunt
This line is absolutely necessary for the function of the shunt and can be disconnected at any time
when the monitor is switched off.
4: LIN bus communication with display
The BTM2 monitor communicates with the SHP shunt via this line. This line can be realised with
any cable, preferably with 1 mm² cross-section.
3.4 Interface ACE-LIN (optional accessory)
To communicate the BTM2 monitor with an ACE series charger, an ACE-LIN interface must be
inserted into the ACE charger. For the models ACE 12/60 and ACE 24/30, the integrated monitor
must be removed and replaced with the interface ACE-LIN.

Remove the cover Break out the metal tongue with flat-nose pliers
Inserting the rubber cable grommet Inserting the cover and the cable.
Inserting the interface board ACE-LIN
Make sure that the ACE charger is disconnected from the
AC mains before starting work.
After removing the front cover, the setting of the DIP switches must be adjusted for operation with
the CAE-LIN interface.
The ACE chargers are equipped with DIP switches to adjust the charging
characteristic individually to the batteries. Only if the DIP switches of the
charger are set to ABCD = "1111", the charging characteristic can be adjusted
from the monitor BLS. Then it is also possible to set a user-defined
characteristic curve. Otherwise, the characteristic curve set via the DIP switches
applies.
For the electrical connection of the interface board, the 16-pin connector of the ribbon cable must
be plugged into the matching red connector on the main board of the charger ACE.
Battery/Tank Monitor BTM2
REV 1A - FEB 2022 - Software Version 1.xPage 9
The interface board is held in place by three plastic clips on the housing.
Wiring LIN line to monitor BLS / shunt SHE
The communication connection "LIN" of the interface ACE-LIN is connected to the connection "LIN"
of the shunt SHE 348 and the monitor BLS via a 1-wire connection cable. This can be decided
according to the local installation conditions. The order of the units on the "LIN" line is irrelevant.
Since the "LIN" connection on the ACE-LIN interface is duplicated, it is advisable to lay one LIN line
from the monitor to the charger and the other from the charger to the shunt. The ideal conductor
cross-section for the "LIN" cable is 1mm².
IMPORTANT: The monitor, the shunt and the charger must have the same negative potential, i.e.
be connected to a common negative point (battery negative).

3.5 Electrical connection tank sensor
Up to four tanks can be monitored
simultaneously.
However, if fewer tanks are monitored, the
first tank sensor is connected starting at
connection TG 1 (e.g. with 2 tank sensors,
only connections TG 1 and TG 2 are used).
Resistance sensor (e.g. TGT/TGW) and active
tank sensor (e.g. pressure probe TDS) can be
connected in mixed form.
The connection is made according to the
adjacent diagram
A flow sensor DFS can only be connected to
DFS (DFS + /Minus/DFS S)!
ATTENTION: If
the power supply (red line) of the ultrasonic
tank sensor is not via the BTM, but directly
via the DC on-board power supply, the supply
line must be protected with a 1A fuse!
The minus lines of the tank sensor must be
connected to the minus (-) terminal to avoid
incorrect measurements.
