= Installation and connection =

== Safety rules ==

To perform the protection functions, the BMS must be able to disconnect the battery from the load and charger. To do this, **at least one contactor** able to break the load and charge circuits must be connected to the BMS.

7

8

Before use, **configure the system**. Proper operation of the BMS is possible only if it is correctly configured.

9

10

It is not recommended to use the system in batteries formed by several series of cells connected in parallel. To increase capacity, it is recommended to connect several cells in parallel groups, and then connect the groups in series.

The BMS can be connected to batteries with life-threatening and health-hazardous voltage levels. When working with high-voltage batteries, observe electrical safety regulations, use safety glasses, protective clothing, insulated tools and appliances. To prevent the damage of device avoid electrostatic discharges while working with the battery.

== Installation procedure ==

23

24

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.

25

26

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.

27

28

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.

29

30

Overall and mounting dimensions of the BMS Mini S are shown on figures below.

**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.

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.
