Figure 3-5. ReadyBlock Installation - refer to separate Block documentation for complete instructions

STEP 1:

  

OPEN any load disconnects or breakers, and turn OFF any loads. 

STEP 2:

  

Connect positive and negative wires to the load, and to any load bus bars or load panel 

terminals.

STEP 3:

  

Install a correctly sized load/output breaker or fused disconnect switch in the OPEN position 

located near the load output terminals of the controller.

STEP 4:

  

Connect the positive and negative load wires (either directly, or from a junction) to the 

GenStar load terminals.

DO NOT CLOSE ANY LOAD DISCONNECTS OR BREAKERS AT THIS TIME.

3.4.7  READYBLOCK INSTALLATION

For complete documentation

refer to each Ready Block's installation and operation                

instructions. 

As seen in Figure 2-1, and then as described in Section 2.3:
A.  Loosen screw (7) 
B.  Remove the cover (9) by pressing in the tabs (10)  
C.  Use a knife to cut out the dead panels (8) for each corresponding block being installed

BMS BLOCK NOTES:

Only one BMS Block is supported per system. If multiple BMS blocks are present, a system alarm will trigger and a 
status message will indicate which of the BMS blocks is active for collecting data from a BMS-battery

FURTHER:

•  When using a BMS block, only a single battery (or a bank of parallel batteries) is supported in a network 

of host controllers.

•  When using a BMS block, only a single manufacturer of batteries is supported. If the battery-bank is 

changed to a new manufacturer, the user only needs to change the battery configuration type for the 
BMS block.

•  When using a BMS block, only a single battery model is supported. If a network of parallel          

batteries is employed, to work properly with the BMS block, all of the batteries must be of the 

same model.
