Detailed description

The BEP CZone SBH 15m temperature sensor (ref. 80-716-0032-00) is an accessory designed specifically for BEP’s Smart Battery Hub (SBH). It provides ambient temperature data required for accurate State of Charge (SoC) calculations of your battery bank. This sensor connects directly to the dedicated inputs on the SBH, enabling precise thermal management of your electrical installation.

Integration and precise measurement for the Smart Battery Hub

BEP’s SBH is a centralized battery management system that integrates motorized switches, automatic voltage switching (VSS), and an emergency paralleling function. To refine its State of Charge calculation algorithms, the SBH features two additional sensor inputs (voltage, level, temperature). The SBH 15m temperature sensor plugs into one of these inputs and transmits ambient temperature data to the hub. This information is critical because a battery’s capacity varies significantly with temperature. Unlike lithium batteries, which often include their own internal probes, this sensor is particularly suited to lead-acid batteries (AGM, gel, flooded) where temperature compensation is essential to avoid undercharging or overcharging. The SBH, unlike simpler systems such as the BEP Contor Connect (80-700-0050-00), which is limited to switching, integrates this advanced monitoring dimension.

NMEA 2000 connectivity for centralized display

Once temperature data is acquired by the SBH, it is transmitted over the NMEA 2000 network. You can then view your battery compartment temperature directly on your chartplotter (B&G Zeus³S, Simrad NSS, Garmin GPSMAP) or any other NMEA 2000-compatible display. This enables centralized monitoring of your battery bank’s health without adding complex wiring. The 15-meter cable provides sufficient installation flexibility to place the sensor as close as possible to the batteries, even on large vessels, while keeping the SBH in an accessible and dry location.

Expert opinion

« The essential accessory for healthy lead-acid batteries »

The SBH 15m temperature sensor is an essential accessory if you are using a Smart Battery Hub BEP with lead-acid batteries. Without this probe, the SBH cannot compensate charging voltage based on temperature, which reduces battery lifespan. Installation is simple: it plugs into one of the two dedicated sensor inputs on the SBH. The 15-meter cable allows you to place the sensor directly on the battery bank, where the measurement is most relevant. It is a small investment that makes a big difference for the reliability of your battery bank.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What is the role of the temperature sensor for Smart Battery Hub?

This sensor is designed to measure battery temperature and transmit this data to the Smart Battery Hub. This information is essential for precise charge management and to optimize battery lifespan, particularly for temperature compensation.

What is the length of the cable for this temperature sensor?

The sensor comes with a 15-meter (15M) cable, as stated in the product description.

Why is it important to monitor battery temperature?

Battery temperature is a critical factor that affects performance, charging efficiency, and lifespan. Extreme temperatures can reduce charging efficiency, accelerate battery degradation, and in some cases pose safety risks. Monitoring enables temperature-compensated charging and better management.

What are the benefits of using this sensor?

Using this sensor allows the Smart Battery Hub to adjust charging parameters based on the battery's actual temperature. This optimizes charging efficiency, extends battery life, and helps prevent overcharging or undercharging due to temperature variations.

Is this sensor resistant to the marine environment?

Yes, this sensor is designed by BEP/CZone for marine use, meaning it is resistant to typical conditions encountered on board a boat, such as humidity and temperature variations.

Does the sensor require external power?

No, the temperature sensor is a passive component powered directly by the Smart Battery Hub to which it is connected and does not require separate external power.

How to install the temperature sensor on the battery?

The sensor must be mounted directly on a battery terminal or the battery body to obtain the most accurate temperature reading. It then connects to a dedicated port on the Smart Battery Hub. Follow the specific installation instructions in your Smart Battery Hub manual.

Where to precisely place the temperature sensor on the battery?

For optimal measurement, the sensor must be placed on the negative terminal of the battery or on the side of the battery itself, in direct contact with the surface to accurately reflect the internal temperature. Avoid placing it where it could be directly heated by an external source other than the battery.

Is the sensor installation complex?

Installation is generally simple and consists of physically mounting the sensor to the battery and plugging it into the designated port of the Smart Battery Hub. No complex software configuration is typically required for the sensor itself.

Are specific tools required for installation?

Installation generally does not require specific tools for the sensor itself. Basic tools for handling batteries and cables (such as a terminal wrench or screwdriver if a mount is used) may be needed to secure the sensor in place.

Can the sensor cable be shortened or lengthened?

Cutting or splicing the temperature sensor cable is strongly discouraged, as it may affect measurement accuracy or signal reliability. The 15-meter length is designed to accommodate various configurations.

How to connect the sensor to the Smart Battery Hub?

The sensor connects to a dedicated port on the Smart Battery Hub. This port is usually labeled "Temp Sensor" or similar. The connection is plug-and-play for easy installation.

Which Smart Battery Hubs is this sensor compatible with?

This sensor is specifically designed to be compatible with BEP and CZone Smart Battery Hubs. It is recommended to check your Smart Battery Hub documentation to confirm compatibility with model 80-716-0032-00.

Is the sensor compatible with different types of batteries (lead, lithium)?

Yes, the sensor measures the physical temperature of the battery and is therefore compatible with all battery types, including lead-acid batteries (AGM, gel, flooded) and lithium batteries (LiFePO4). The charge management based on this temperature is then handled by the Smart Battery Hub.

Can this sensor be used with a Smart Battery Hub from another brand?

This sensor is designed to work specifically with BEP and CZone Smart Battery Hubs. Compatibility with hubs from other brands is not guaranteed and is generally not possible due to proprietary communication protocols and connectors.

Is it compatible with 12V and 24V systems?

Yes, the temperature sensor is a passive component that measures temperature. Its compatibility is not directly related to the system voltage (12V or 24V), but rather to compatibility with the Smart Battery Hub, which is designed to operate in these systems.

Is this sensor compatible with older Smart Battery Hub BEP/CZone models?

Compatibility with older models depends on their technical specifications. It is recommended to check the technical documentation for your specific Smart Battery Hub BEP or CZone model or contact technical support to confirm compatibility with sensor 80-716-0032-00.
