Veratron LinkUp - Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) Kit - 24V

The Veratron LinkUp Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS) Kit - 24V is your ultimate solution for real-time battery monitoring on your marine vessel. Designed specifically for boaters and marine enthusiasts, this advanced system ensures your batteries are always in optimal condition, providing peace of mind during your voyages.

Advanced Battery Monitoring for Marine Applications

Batteries are the heart of your boat's engine starting and onboard utilities. With Veratron’s Intelligent Battery Sensor (IBS), you can effortlessly track your battery's status and health in real-time. Whether you’re navigating with an OceanLink, AcquaLink, or an NMEA 2000-networked display, the IBS seamlessly integrates with your setup, including the latest glass cockpit systems.

Comprehensive System Components

The LinkUp IBS Kit includes the following key components:

• Veratron LinkUp Gateway Module: Connects the IBS to the NMEA 2000 network with internal galvanic isolation, ensuring compliance with NMEA standards by decoupling backbone power from the LinkUp power supply.
• Intelligent Battery Sensor: Measures essential battery parameters such as voltage, current, temperature, state of charge, health, and function.

Key Features

• NMEA 2000® Certified: Ensures seamless integration with marine networks.
• Wireless Configuration: Easily set up using the companion mobile App available on the App Store and Google Play.
• Status LED: Provides quick visual indicators of system status.
• Plug-and-Play Installation: Simple and straightforward setup process.
• Input Signal: LIN bus.
• Nominal Voltage: 24V.

Easy Installation and Configuration

Installing the IBS system is a breeze. The sensor clamps onto the negative pole terminal and includes a watertight 3A inline fuse within its sealed housing. The LinkUp Gateway Module then connects to the NMEA 2000 backbone, allowing Veratron’s sensors to communicate effortlessly with your network.

Configuration is straightforward with two options:

1. Mobile App: Use your smartphone to configure the gateway via the Veratron app. Each module features a built-in passive wireless antenna, enabling you to set sensor parameters such as type, instance, and warning thresholds by simply tapping your device against the LinkUp unit for instant data download.
2. PC Configuration Tool: Alternatively, configure your LinkUp devices through the NMEA 2000 network using the PC Configuration Tool. This method also allows for real-time analog signal readings, with an LED indicator providing visual confirmation during configuration.

Versatile Monitoring Capabilities

The IBS system can monitor a single battery or an entire bank, making it adaptable to various marine power setups. Multiple LinkUp kits can be deployed to provide detailed data specific to house, starter, and system-specific supplies. It is compatible with 12V starter, gel, or AGM battery types, ensuring broad applicability for different marine battery configurations.
