2.7.11. Operation modes
Configuring mode
The BMS device can receive, check and take into account additional configuration data sent
by its main EMS/VMS device (master/slave relation).
Normal Operation mode
The device is fully operational. It means that no error is detected and that the device can
execute its Control and Monitoring tasks.
Degraded mode
The BMS device detects either an internal or external failure. If a critical error occurs during
Normal Operation mode, the mode management function goes to Degraded mode.
Shutdown mode
All BMS services are stopped.
De-energized mode
When the battery is in idle mode for a specified time the BMS shuts down all non-essential
electronics to minimize the quiescent current.

3. Safety guidelines and measures
3.1. General
• Do not dismantle, open or shred secondary cells or batteries.
• Do not expose cells or batteries to heat or fire. Avoid storage in direct sunlight.
• Do not short-circuit a cell or a battery. Do not store cells or batteries haphazardly in a box or
drawer where they may short-circuit each other or be short-circuited by other metal objects.
• Do not remove a cell or battery from its original packaging until required for use.
• Do not subject cells or batteries to mechanical shock.
• In the event of a cell leaking, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes.
If contact has been made, wash the affected area with copious amounts of water and seek
medical advice.
• Do not use any charger other than that specifically provided for use with the equipment.
• Observe the plus (+) and minus (–) marks on the cell, battery and equipment and ensure
correct use.
• Do not use any cell or battery which is not designed for use with the equipment.
• Do not mix cells or batteries of different manufacture, capacity, size or type within a device.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Seek medical advice immediately if a cell or a battery has been swallowed.
• Always purchase the battery recommended by the device manufacturer for the equipment.
• Keep cells and batteries clean and dry.
• Wipe the cell or battery terminals with a clean dry cloth if they become dirty.
• Secondary cells and batteries need to be charged before use. Always use the correct
charger and refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or equipment manual for proper
charging instructions.
• Do not leave a battery on prolonged charge when not in use.
• After extended periods of storage, it may be necessary to charge and discharge the cells or
batteries several times to obtain maximum performance.
• Retain the original product literature for future reference.
• Use only the cell or battery in the application for which it was intended.
• When possible, remove the battery from the equipment when not in use.
• Dispose of properly.
