It supports Wanderer 10A and 30A, Adventurer Li 30A (PWM models), and Rover 60A and 100A MPPT models via the RS232 interface. It is not compatible with Rover 20A\/30A\/40A MPPT controllers — those require the BT‑2 module.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible: Wanderer 10A\/30A, Adventurer Li 30A (PWM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible via RS232: Rover 60A \u0026amp; 100A (MPPT)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot compatible: Rover 20A\/30A\/40A MPPT — use BT‑2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eConfirm controller model before purchase to avoid incompatibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you install and power the BT-1 module?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is plug‑and‑play: connect the included 5 m (16.4 ft) cable between the BT‑1 and the controller’s RJ12\/RS232 socket.

Bluetooth range reaches up to about 82 ft (25 m) in open air, and the IP54 enclosure survives dust and splashes. It operates reliably between -20°C and 85°C for a wide range of installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth range: up to 82 ft (25 m) line of sight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePower draw: standby 0.04 W, operating 0.05 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eData link: fixed 9600 bps RS232 for stable transfer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurability: IP54 rated, -20°C to 85°C operating range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho is this for? The Renogy BT‑1 fits DIYers, RV and tiny‑home owners, and off‑grid installers who already use compatible Renogy controllers and want the convenience of real‑time monitoring and parameter tweaks from a phone. It’s best for systems where the supported Wanderer, Adventurer Li, or Rover 60\/100 controllers are installed and remote app access will simplify regular checks or tuning. Avoid this product if your controller is a Rover 20\/30\/40 MPPT — select the BT‑2 instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Will the BT-1 work with my Rover 30A MPPT controller?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. Rover 20A\/30A\/40A MPPT controllers are not compatible with BT‑1; use the BT‑2 module instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: Does the BT-1 need an external power source?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: No. The BT‑1 is powered directly through the RJ12\/RS232 port by the controller, no extra power required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Renogy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56832214958420,"sku":"B0F842CQV4","price":51.94,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1063\/2652\/4244\/files\/renogy-bt-1-front-module.jpg?v=1787024966","url":"https:\/\/gardenluxe.co.uk\/products\/renogy-bluetooth-module-bt-1-for-solar-charge-controllers-82-ft-range-ip54-waterproof-rj12-rs232-plug-and-play","provider":"Gardenluxe Uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
