Simarine VIA - Control Panel Set

Simarine VIA

The Simarine Caravan Control Set consists of the SCC8 display unit and the SPDU-52 control unit. The Caravan Panel can monitor up to 6 batteries, 14 tank sensors, 14 temperature sensors and 20 independent current sensors (shunts), as well as control 2 relay switches. It is equipped with a Wi-Fi module to communicate with the app available for Android™ and iPhone® smartphones. The app allows access to live data, historical data, analysis functions, as well as configuration and updating of the panel.

VIA Display Panel

The information is displayed on a large 3.5" high-resolution IPS display with Gorilla® glass and an anti-reflective coating to ensure better visibility. The device comes with 8 control buttons, through which all connected devices can be conveniently controlled.

The menu navigation is transparent and easy to use. All changes can be made with four touch buttons below the screen. The required installation space behind the housing is 30mm.

SCC functions at a glance:

• Integrated WiFi and Bluetooth
• Battery monitoring

SPDU-52 Power Distributor

The Simarine SPDU-52 power distribution unit is a very versatile module. Its purpose is to supply other modules and shunts used by the Caravan Panel. The SPDU-52 with additional modules can connect up to 6 batteries, 24 shunts, 10 temperature sensors, 14 tank level sensors and 2 tilt sensors.

The SPDU-52 has 3 SICOM ports, two for additional power output inputs/outputs (SICOM 1, SICOM 2) and one for the Caravan Panel (SiCOM PANEL). It also has 4 channels (solar, charger, main battery, starter battery) that measure the current. 
The voltage measurement on each of these channels is 0–35 VDC with an accuracy of ±0.5%. The resistance measurement on each of these channels is 0–65 kOhm with an accuracy of ±3%.

CAUTION: Install the power units in a clean and dry place that is protected from accidental spills of liquids. For further information on installation and wiring, please refer to the manual.

Caravan Control Mobile APP

With your smartphone, you can remotely control your Caravan Panel via the Wi-Fi connection. With the app, you can monitor current (live) data from batteries, tanks, thermometers and barographs. You can also change the Caravan Panel settings on your smartphone and easily update the Simarine firmware to a new version as soon as it becomes available.
With the mobile app, current Caravan Control settings can be saved and restored later. In addition, automatic backups of the current settings are made as soon as they are changed. These settings are stored in a list and can be restored at will.
