DIP SWITCH SELECTION OF CELL VOLTAGES
Battery configuration is selected via the main menu of the SCU, whereas the cell or monoblock voltage must be
selected via dip-switch “Cell V-Select” on the PCB (S2). The following table indicates the DIP-switch setting for
different cell/monoblock voltages:

DIP SWITCH SELECTION OF ADDRESS
Each SBM requires a unique address in order for the SCU to know which SBM is connected to which battery
string(s). Set the “Unit Address” on each SBM according to the chart below.

SYSTEM SETUP FOR SBM
5.5.1.
Relationship between “SBM Batteries” and “Num Batteries”
In the next two sections, you will be led through a series of menus to get to the menu of “SBM Batteries”. This is
where you define the number of batteries whose cell voltages are to be monitored by the SCU, hence the name
“SBM Batteries”. There is no need to program the SCU for how many SBM boards are connected to the system;
the SCU automatically calculates the number of SBM boards that it requires from the number of “SBM Batteries”
that are entered.
Programming Note:
Earlier versions of the Sageon Power Plant’s “SCU” referred to the “SBM Batteries” as
“BCM Batteries”. Aside from this terminology change, there is no difference of operation of earlier versions.
