4 == Installation procedure ==
5
6 The mounting area of the BMS Mini S must be protected from mechanical particles (dust, dirt, large objects) and water. The BMS Mini S 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 for connecting other system elements: a current sensor, contactors, display panels.
9
10 The BMS Mini S 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 Mini S are shown on figures below.

186 **Attention! **The BMS Mini S device is **galvanically connected** to the battery (the minus of the battery is the device ground). In view of this, when a BMS Wi-Fi or BMS GSM module is connected to the device, the antenna braid will also be galvanically connected to the battery (connected to the battery negative). It is recommended to** isolate the antenna cable from the battery case **to prevent negative potential from appearing on the case.

204
205 To connect battery cells, follow figure below. Incorrect connection of the cells can damage the BMS Mini.
206
207 Begin the connection with the negative line of the battery: the “C0“ is connected to the “B-“, then the first cell (C1) is connected, then the second (С2), etc. If not all inputs of the cells are used, then the remaining inputs are connected to the cell with the most potential.

217 === Connecting thermistors ===
218
219 Thermistors should be fastened to the cells, excluding short circuits to the cell terminals (for example, isolate thermistors with heat shrink).
