I have recently installed my first Conext SW4024 and I am so far general impressed, particularly compared to earlier Xantrex products. I am now installing the battery monitor and am trying to decide on location. It is replacing an old TM500 meter which was part of the old Trace SW4024 power panel installation which was replaced. Ideally the Conext SCP would remain by the inverter (in the e-panel) while the Battery Monitor replaces the TM500 which was upstairs for the client to view easily. owever, in talking to Shneider support, I was told that the monitor screen is not easy to read, and that the battery temp sensor attached to the inverte, while sharing temperature with the battery monitor for calculations, will not allow the battery monitor to display temperature info nor the temp adjusted voltage readings (and therefore the SOC as well). This doesn't make sense to me, so I just wanted to verify that this is in fact the case before I spend time trying to run the 3 cables (2 ethernet and 1 temp sensor) through 30' of wall between the battery/inverter location in the basement and the BM display upstairs. Anyone have experience and advice?
