5Preparatory Work

5.1Installation Instructions

a) Before installation, ensure that BCU manual switch is in disconnected state.

b) The battery shall be installed in a place away from heat source and avoid sparks. The safety distance is greater than 0.5m.

c) The connecting cables for installing batteries shall be as short as possible, to prevent too big voltage drop of the line

d) Batteries of different capacity, different P/N or from different manufacturers cannot be connected.

e) After installation, ensure the anode and cathode of BCU and inverter are connected correctly.

f) The installation place shall be on a horizontal ground, without accumulated water.

7Connection with the Inverter

Tools: Cross screwdriver, with even tightening torque: 25±2.5Nm.

Connection with the power line: Get the anode and cathode lines through the PG head, connect them into BCU case, and then install them onto the anode and cathode

terminals respectively.

Connection with the communication line and Ethernet cable: Open the upper cover of BCU, and connect the communication line. The definition of communication line is

as follows:

(Remarks: Pin 1 and 3 are 13V output, and can supply power for the inverter, or supply power to the upper BMU module when multiple sets of the products are connected

in parallel. Pin 2 and 4are for receiving inverter enable signal interface. Connect to the Ethernet interface with a network cable, and lead it out through PG head.)
