Module Overview
5.1
Battery Management System (BMS)
This battery module is fitted (contained inside the battery module case) with a sophisticated BMS. The
BMS is designed to provide user safety and protect the battery cells from:
Over voltage charging.
Under voltage discharging.
Operation above a maximum temperature.
Short circuit protection. This is in addition to the protection provided by the circuit breaker.
Should the BMS activate to protect the module, the BMS will automatically reset once a normal
operational condition is detected by the BMS.
5.2
Power In/Out J1
The “POWER IN/OUT J1” connector is a standard Anderson SB50 (Blue) connector. The upper pin is
positive and the lower pin is negative.
5.3
Earth Point
Connects the chassis of the battery module to ground. Another earth stud is located at the rear
of the battery module.
NOTE: Neither the positive or negative terminal of this module is connected to the earth point. DC
from the battery module is floating.
5.4
Dual Pole 60Amp Circuit Breaker
This is the ON/OFF control for the battery module. Turning the “BATTERY CIRCUIT BREAKER” ON (up
is ON) will energise the “POWER IN/OUT J1” connector. It will also activate the power “ON” indicating
Light Emitting Diode (LED).
The “BATTERY CIRCUIT BREAKER” will trip in the event of a DC overcurrent condition.
NOTE: Before installing, ensure that the circuit breaker is in the down “OFF” position.
5.5
Front Panel Knurled Knobs
Knurled knobs are provided to assist in withdrawing the battery module from the battery shelf.
