FIRST TIMERS
In case of Li-Ion batteries, several settings
may have to be changed after the setup
wizard is completed.
Please refer to the manual.
The BMV will automatically adjust itself
to the nominal voltage of commonly
used battery systems.
Please refer to the manual.
WARNING
Please read this guide carefully to avoid incor-
rect connections that can cause the battery
monitor to malfunction and/or create a re
hazard.
Disconnect the negative pole of the battery
before installation.

Always use busbars when applying midpoint voltage monitoring!
Cables to busbars must all have the same length!

Applying midpoint voltage monitoring : 24 V
OK WRONG
Due to voltage drop over the + and - cables
midpoint voltages are not identical

Midpoints should not be interconnected: one bad
battery can go unnoticed and could damage all
other batteries
Midpoints can be interconnected if corrective action
is taken in case of an alarm.
In case of one string of 2 batteries +B1 and +B2 can
be connected directly to the battery posts.
This cable should be short. Voltage drop over this
cable will distort the midpoint measurement.
