First steps

In slave mode the eBick system depends on a higher-level system, be it SCADA, an
inverter or operation personnel. In this mode, after the system is started it remains in the
ready/disconnected state until it receives an external close contactor command. Until this
order to close the connector is received, the voltage at points 6 and 4 in the image below
is 0
V.
In stand-alone mode (48V VICTRON or SMA type commercial converters) eBick
automates several operations, including direct connection by closing the output contactor
if the battery’s safety conditions are met.
In this mode, after starting the eBick system by pressing the ON switch, if no critical error
occurs then the output contactor closes autonomously and automatically, with points 4
and 6 in the image above having 48Vdc from the battery. Consequently, all components
hooked up to the eBick system output bus are fed this nominal voltage.
Likewise, it manages the resets in the event of battery alarms.
5.3 Pre-charge process (only in stand-alone mode)
The pre-charge process is only used in stand-alone mode, designed to be used with
commercial 48V inverters. It requires specific custom-built hardware for this application.
If the bus voltage differs from 48V or if it is certain that the application requires precharge,
please contact CEGASA.
5.4 ID Configuration (Only if necessary)
During the initial start-up, the battery has to be configured for correct communications.
In this example, let’s imagine that we have installed a 4-unit system and are going to
follow the following numbered steps:
