5
6 The mounting area of the BMS Logic 2.0 must be protected from mechanical particles (dust, dirt, large objects) and water. The BMS Logic 2.0 is recommended to be placed close to the cells it controls, but away from high current circuits to reduce interference to measuring circuits and increase overall reliability of installation.
7
8 The installation site must provide convenient access for subsequent connection to the device’s headers.
9
10 The BMS Logic 2.0 has a heat sink to dissipate the heat generated during the balancing of the cells. When used in enclosed enclosures, heat must be removed from the sink, otherwise it may damage the device.
11
12 Overall and mounting dimensions of the BMS Logic 2.0 are shown below.

85
86 === Connection to BMS Main ===
87
88 To connect the BMS Main to BMS Logic 2.0 do the following steps:
89
90 1. Connect the BMS Main to the first BMS Logic 2.0 (P15 -> X3).
91 1. Connect the BMS Logic 2.0 to each other (X2 -> X3).
92 1. Install jumper P1 on the last BMS Logic 2.0 in the chain.
93
94 (% class="box infomessage" %)
95 (((
96 **Recommendations:**
97 ~1. The total cable length (the sum of the lengths of all cables) between the BMS Main and the last BMS Logic 2.0 should not exceed 500 meters.
98 2. Make all connections with the same cable.
99 3. For a total cable length of more than 10 meters use twisted pair with the 120 Ohm wave impedance.

101
102 === Connecting battery cells ===
103
104 To connect the battery cells, follow the picture below. Incorrect connection of the cells can damage the BMS Logic 2.0.
105
106 Begin the connection with the negative of the battery: the "V-" of the first BMS Logic 2.0 is connected to "B-", then the first cell (C1) of the battery is connected, then the second (C2), etc. The “V-“ of the next BMS Logic 2.0 is connected to the C12 of the previous BMS Logic 2.0. If not all inputs of the cells are used, then the remaining inputs are connected to the cell with the highest potential.

113 **Attention!**
114 Connect the battery according to the diagram, otherwise the device may be damaged!
115 )))
116
117 === Connecting thermistors ===
118
119 Thermistors should be fastened to the cells, excluding short circuits to the cell terminals (for example, isolate thermistors with heat shrink). For reliable operation, it is recommended to use all thermistors (1 temperature sensor for 6 cells).
