Simarine VIA - Control Panel Set

Simarine VIA

The Simarine Caravan Control Set consists of the SCC8 display element 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 enables 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 anti-glare coating for better visibility. The device comes with 8 control buttons that can be used to conveniently control all connected devices.

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

Overview of SCC functions:

• WiFi and Bluetooth integrated

SPDU-52 Power Distribution Unit

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. Up to 6 batteries, 24 shunts, 10 temperature sensors, 14 tank level sensors and 2 tilt sensors can be connected to the SPDU-52 with additional modules.

The SPDU-52 has 3 SICOM ports, two for additional power 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 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 generator in a clean, dry location, protected from accidental spillage. Please refer to the manual for further information on installation and wiring.

Caravan Control mobile app

You can use your smartphone to remotely control your caravan panel via the WiFi connection. The app allows you to 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 is available.
The mobile app allows current Caravan Control settings to be saved and later restored. In addition, automatic backups of the current setting are made as soon as they are changed. These settings are saved in a list and can be restored at any time.

The Caravan Panel is compatible with the following Simarine modules:

• SC303 Digital Shunt – High precision 300A shunt, for up to 75V systems.
