Product details
The PICO Blue Package offers you a complete monitoring system for your 12/24 volt battery. With many connectivity options and ease of use, this device provides you with a simple overview of all important details regarding your battery (voltage, current, amp hours, battery capacity in%, battery temperature) and also regarding tank levels and temperatures. Equipped with a 3.5" LCD TFT screen, high-resolution IPS technology with high brightness, optimal color reproduction, wide viewing angles and a virtually indestructible Gorilla glass with anti-reflection coating, the PICO Blue is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation. Thanks to special capacitive CapSense® touch buttons, you can easily operate your PICO even with wet fingers. You can also monitor individual loads (refrigerators) or generators (wind generator) via a 4-fold measuring shunt.
Maximum monitoring capability of the set: 1 x battery bank with "Real-Time Battery Health ™" (monitors current, voltage and temperature), 4 x battery voltages, 4 x tank levels or temperatures, 4 x individual consumer currents or generators. The PICO also has a barograph display that determines and displays precise information regarding air pressure and the current trend.
The scope of delivery includes a 500 A measuring shunt, a tank module and a 4 x measuring shunt with 25 A each. The shunt is designed for a maximum output of 7200 watt at 12 volts and 14400 watt at 24 volts. The tank module is equipped with four resistance inputs for resistance sensors or temperature sensors and three voltage inputs for voltage tanks, sensors and battery voltages. The measuring shunt is suitable for monitoring loads on board, you can connect the individual inputs to receive up to 50 A.

- When the shunt is mounted in the battery's NEGATIVE line, the state of charge (SOC) of a 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, or 72 volt battery system can be monitored. ONLY with 12 or 24 volt battery systems, the shunt can also be mounted in the battery's POSITIVE line.
- In addition to other measuring modules, up to 6 shunts can be connected to the PICO Standard or PICO Blue, which can independently detect the state of charge (SOC) of different battery systems, e.g. of a 12 volt and a 24 volt battery bank.
Battery types
- Do PICO and PICOone devices support lithium-ion batteries?
The PICO system is compatible with LiFePO4 batteries - Which battery types are supported?
- Generally all lead / acid batteries such as AGM, GEL and LiFePO4 batteries
Firmware update
- Is there a smartphone app?
- Yes. The Simarine "PICO Battery Monitor" app is available for free on the Google Playstore or App Store.
- Can I update the PICO firmware myself?
- Yes. The PICO product family is constantly improved and updated with new functions. It is thus recommended to keep the PICO firmware up to date.
Update can be done with the "PICO Battery Monitor" smartphone app . The app can be downloaded as described above.
Use the serial number of the PICO to create the WLAN SSID and password. You can find the serial number on the back of the PICO display or on the front side of the original packaging or in the PICO system menu (PICO SETTINGS -> SYSTEM -> System Info.).
Example:
If your PICO serial number is "12345678".
Your SSID is: Pico5678
Your password is: pico1234
NOTE
Before updating the firmware, update the "PICO Battery Monitor" smartphone app via the respective store and then follow the steps below.- Install or update the "PICO Battery Monitor" app on your smartphone, turn on the WiFi connection of your PICO device and connect your smartphone to the PICO WiFi hotspot (PICOxxxx).
- Start the "PICO Battery Monitor" app on your smartphone. Open the "Settings" menu and click "Update PICO Fimrware" to put your PICO device into upgrade mode.
- The update process takes less than a minute. Then your PICO restarts.
Consumption and generator monitoring
- Can I monitor the power consumption of my inverter with the PICOs?
- Yes. Using the SC300, SC500, SC302T shunts, the PICOs accurately measure the power consumption of individual large consumers such as inverters, bow thrusters, windlasses, etc. With the SCQ25 module, currents up to max. 100A can be monitored just as precisely. You can read the exact current consumption values and a consumption history from your PICO display.
- I'd like to know if my solar panels generate enough electricity to power a refrigerator. How do I get this information?
- Simply integrate the Simarine SCQ25 module (4 inputs, each with a power of 25A, individual inputs can be summed via the software) into your PICO system.
The SCQ25 module provides accurate power readings generated by your solar system or consumed by your refrigerator. - Can the PICO devices show how much power is generated by my solar panel?
- Yes. With the PICO battery monitor, you can measure how much power your solar panels or wind generators supply. This is also a very good tool to detect malfunctions of individual energy sources.
If, for example, your solar panels get dirty and therefore produce less power, you can easily and conveniently see this on your PICO display.External protocols
- Do PICO devices support CI-BUS (special Caravan data bus system)?
- Not yet. A CI-BUS support is planned.
- Do PICO devices support NMEA protocol?
- Not yet. NMEA0183 and NMEA2000 support is under development.
General
- Is it possible to use more than one PICO display on one battery bank?
- This option is being planned and will be part of a future firmware update.
- Should I use a shunt to monitor battery voltage, battery power and battery temperature? Or is it just enough to monitor the battery voltage?
- To accurately monitor your battery bank, a shunt is required. This is not only to provide data enthusiasts information about the current status of the battery bank, it is for your safety!
We recommend shunts when using large consumers, such as B. bow and stern thrusters, and windlasses. Such consumers can significantly discharge their batteries within a very short time.
This can mean, for example, that batteries could be damaged quickly if they are not sufficiently charged.
If you just want to monitor the battery used to start your engines, in most cases it is enough to simply monitor the battery voltage. - What is a battery bank?
- If two or more batteries are used in a parallel or series connection, these batteries are called battery banks.
Parallel connection
If batteries are connected in parallel, capacity increases (Ah / ampere hours), while the voltage (Volt) remains the same.
Example:
Three 100Ah batteries with a voltage of 12V are connected by a parallel connection. This results in a battery bank with a capacity of 300Ah at a voltage of 12V.
