Important notes:
✓
The system is self-powered and does not require connection to an external
supply.
✓
The length of the interconnecting cables affects the final voltage detected by the
application. It is advisable to install the battery as close as possible to the element
that is going to use it (inverter, DC bus, ...) and avoid sharp curves or bends in
the cables. For recommended cable lengths, wire sizes and characteristics,
please contact CEGASA.
5 Commissioning the equipment
5.1 System start-up and shut-down processes
All points included in the previous section should have been followed prior to starting the
system. Once this has been done, the system can be started by pressing the switch on
the MCP from the OFF to ON position.
Pressing the switch powers up the control electronics in the MCP. The GBMS then
checks hardware integrity (own hardware and that of the BMS distributed by
communications) and that the cabinet distribution set-up corresponds with that read (see
point 4.3). If no error is detected, the GBMS allows work with batteries to commence.
The time required for start-up is less than 1 minute.
To stop the system, the same switch should be changed from the ON to OFF position.
The string should never be switched off while current is flowing through the system. The
contactor has to be opened prior to switching off the MCP.
HAZARD: ELECTRONICS SELF-CONSUMPTION
The electronics inside the cabinet are powered by the batteries. If the
batteries are not going to be used for a prolonged period (3-4 weeks), the MCP
has to be turned off manually by pressing the ON/OFF button to
OFF
.
5.2 Power connection process
eBick systems can operate in 2 different ways: Slave Mode and Stand-alone Mode, it is
advisable ask the supply company in which mode the MCP is configured before the
system is started.
