2. Safety instructions
Installation must strictly follow the national safety regulations in compliance
with the enclosure, installation, creepage, clearance, casualty, markings and
segregation requirements of the end-use application. Installation must be
performed by qualified and trained installers only. Switch off the system and
check for hazardous voltages before altering any connection.
1. Do not open the Lithium Ion Battery.
2. Do not discharge a new Lithium Ion Battery before it has been fully
charged first.
3. Charge only within the specified limits.
4. Do not mount the Lithium Ion Battery upside down.
5. Check if the Li-Ion battery has been damaged during transport.
3. Installation instructions
1. Mount the BMS preferably on a vertical surface, for optimal cooling.
2. Determine the rating of fuse (see figure and table 1). The fuse doubles as
a shunt, thus the BMS CL will limit the input current according to the rating
of this fuse. For fuse and corresponding current limit please see table 1.
Choosing the right fuse will prevent overheating of the alternator and/or
DC cabling.
3. Disconnect the cabling from the minus pole of the starter battery.
4. Pull off the REMOTE on/off connector to prevent unwanted switching of
the BMS.
5. Install and connect the fuse and all electrical cabling, leave the minus
poles of the Li-ion batteries and starter battery disconnected. Make sure
that the M8 nuts of the fuse are properly tightened.
6. Daisy-chain the battery control cables between the Li-ion batteries and
connect to the BMS.
7. Connect the GND cabling to the minus of Li-ion batteries and the starter
battery.
8. Reinsert the REMOTE on/off connector on the BMS.
The BMS is now ready for use.
