(it is only one time for warming up).
Q. Can we use unprotected terminal while the Module is switched OFF/ON (For Anderson
Terminals)?
A. Module is ON: There will be an output voltage measured across the unprotected terminal, however
the protected terminal can be toggled ON/OFF by using fault rest button, but if ‘activation safety’
option is checked OFF from the SiriusVIEW application, the protected terminal will be ON all the
time.(Please refer to alarm and calibration status section in SiriusVIEW application manual and
Operation Procedure section in user manual).
Module is OFF: Both of the terminals will not work when the Module is switched OFF.
Q. The Module shows zero current while using unprotected terminal for recovery (For Anderson
Terminals)?
A. Please consult with your Reseller.
Q. How to reset the current to zero?
A. Please refer to the video.
Q. If we leave the Module turned ON after it reaches 44V or below. What will happen?
A. When the Module reaches the minimum voltage and below (whether terminal is ON or OFF), the
LCD will display “Low Charge Module” message. (Please refer to Low charge module section in user
manual).
Q. What will happen if the Module is totally empty? or If the Module is left on after it is drained,
will it keep draining to the point that it will not charge without some sort of manual recovery?
A. Getting Module totally empty (zero voltage) after leaving the Module stand by for long time is
normal, so in this case LCD & electronic switch will be OFF, but the Module can be recovered. (Please
refer to recovery procedure in the user manual).
Q. Self-consumption of the Module when connected to a power source and the terminal is ON, seem
to consume about 1Amp or about 1kWh per day?
A. The maximum current of the Module BMS is 60mA not 1A.
Q. We are getting multimeter value different (Voltage, Current Charge/discharge, Temperature,
Energy) from that displayed in LCD across the terminal? or why has the Module lost the calibration?
A. It is normal since each electronic tool or equipment needs calibration after long time of use to get
accurate results, and for that the Module needs to be calibrated. But before that please check the
following:
•
Firstly, double check the value with accurate meter (we suggest Fluke multimeter), if the deviation
between the Module and multimeter is less than ±0.5% it is acceptable.
•
Secondly, if the deviation is more than ±0.5%, the Module needs calibration. Please consult with
your Reseller for calibration.
Q. What could happen when connecting different model of Sirius Module parallel/series together?
A. Modules can be connected in parallel or in series if they will have:
- Same Voltage
- Same Capacity
It is possible but not recommended especially connecting old BMS design to the new one. The system
might get unpredictable during extreme scenarios like Module charge full or low.
Q. Is it possible to connect Sirius Module in parallel with other chemical batteries such as lithium-
ion or lead acid?
