ABOUT THE JCONTROL
The JControl is designed specifically to operate with BMPRO’s J35
(Models A and B).
The JControl provides vital data at a glance including caravan battery
voltage and charging/discharging current. The JControl also provides
an indication of the battery’s remaining charge capacity as well as the
time remaining before the battery completely discharges-so you’ll
never be left on the road without battery power.
In addition to battery monitoring, the JControl enables monitoring of
water levels of up to four water tanks and control of a water pump, all
from the convenience of a wall mounted display fitted to the caravan
interior.
