2.1.4  Only LED faulty?  In some rare cases, the LED of the BMU is faulty. To check that: 

check if there is a Wi-Fi access point of the Battery-Box. If so, only 
the external LED is inactive and a commissioning could still work. 

2.1.5  Module 

Exclusion 
Method 

Check if system works when bypassing the suspected module. 
See section 3.2. 

2.1.6  BMU exchange 

If problem remains, try another BMU, if available. 

2.2 Some modules do not show any reaction / No LED on module 

LEDs of some modules do not light up, although button on topmost module is pressed for 3 
seconds. 

No.

2.2.1  Comm cable 

 

 

2.2.2  Only LED faulty?  In some rare cases, the LED of the module is faulty. To check 

that: use BC APP or BCP to check whether the BMS information 
of this module could be detected. 

2.2.3  Switch on the 

suspected 
module 

Press the LED button for three seconds to power one the 
suspected module. If the LED cannot be lighted up, the battery 
module is faulty. 

2.2.4  Voltage 

measurement 

Check voltage of the affected module(s). See Section 3.1. Voltage 
should be around 50V. If voltage is lower than 38V, it might be 
unable to power on. 

Try to charge it as soon as possible if a charger is available, or 
replace it. 

 

Try to unplug the comm cable between the first affected LV Flex 
Lite

 

module and the one above it, and plug it again.

Or try a completely new comm cable between the first affected 
LV Flex Lite module and the one above it

Battery voltage should be around 50V, see Section 3.1 for

 

voltage 

measurement.

If yes: try another BMU (if available).

If no: check another cable or

Try another LV FLEX Lite if multiple batteries are

 

installed in the 

system.
