CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
BLUETOOTH
The BVA-460 uses Bluetooth to communicate between the control module and load module. This allows you to make the
connections, remove the control module and the run the tests from inside your vehicle.
The BVA-460 control module and load module come paired from the factory.
Bluetooth will work as long as the distance between the load module and control module is less than 30 feet. Walls, windows and
other objects between the control module and load module will affect the range.
If you do experience any communication issues please look at the troubleshooting guide at the back of this manual on how to
correct them.
WiFi
The BVA-460 uses wifi to communicate between the control module and AMPNET server. The AMPNET service will provide
firmware updates for the control module and the load module. You will need to pair the control module with your local wireless
LAN. See WiFi section for instructions on setting up the wireless connection.
AMPNET
The data from your BVA-460 can be downloaded to the optional data management software known as AMPNET. This is
subscription based software that can be used to display and track your battery, starting system, and charging system test results in
graphical form. Please see our website www.autometer.com for more information.
