FAQs:
Q. How to determine the current status (charging/discharging)?
A. When the current value on the LCD is negative it means the Module is discharging and when it is positive,
it means the Module is charging.
Q. The current reading on the LCD is not accurate for the first charging/discharging Session?
A. The user should wait for 5 minutes after starting the Module for the first charge/discharge session (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
