By using the Xtender communication bus, the BSP is able to communicate with the other devices in the system. It is possible to configure the BSP and to display its values with the remote control RCC-02/-03.
Studer Innotec SA 1.1.3 Capacity and cell imbalance Despite the fact that it’s always the same current that goes through the 2 V cells of a battery, factory differences, even small, might make their state of charge uneven. In case of imbalance, the most discharged cell determines the end of discharge.
The production, the assembling and the tests of each BSP are entirely carried out in our factory in Sion (CH). The warranty of this product depends on strictly following the instructions in this manual. The warranty period for the BSP is 5 years.
All components connected to this device must be conforming to the laws and regulations in force. The persons without a written authorization from Studer Innotec SA are forbidden to do any change, modification or repair whatsoever. Regarding authorized modifications and replacements, only genuine components shall be used.
Studer Innotec SA EU DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY The Battery Status Processor (BSP) described in this manual meets the requirements specified in the following EC directives and norms: Low voltage directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU - EN 62368-1:2014 Electromagnetic Compliance (EMC) Directive 2014/30/EU...
If the BSP has to be installed in another room, it is possible to use the temperature sensor BTS that will be connected to the Xtender. In that case the temperature of the BTS will be automatically taken into account for the state of charge calculation.
DC side) will go through this cable for the charge and discharge of the battery. 2. Connect the black and yellow wires of the BSP cable to the screw of the shunt on battery side (b).
SD card. Follow the instructions in the RCC manual for a successful installation. IGNALISATION When the BSP is functioning normally the LED on its front panel is blinking in green. Description Blinks 2x repeatedly in GREEN The BSP is running without any error.
HOOSING THE SHUNT If you are using a shunt supplied with the BSP-500, the BSP is configured for it and you can go directly to the next section. Otherwise, the measuring shunt must be configured. The shunts are meant to supply a measuring nominal voltage at a nominal current.
Studer Innotec SA ESET THE BATTERY HISTORY TO ZERO If you install the BSP for the first time or if the battery has been changed, you must reset the battery history to zero, by means of the parameter {6003}. DISPLAY OF THE STATE OF THE BATTERY On installations with a BSP, the view over information on the battery is added to the RCC.

Temperature used to calculating the battery state of charge. Unless a BTS is connected to the Xtender and therefore its value taken into account, this is the temperature measured inside the BSP that will be used. BTS temperature °C Temperature of a XT, VT or VS to which the BTS is connected or ‘---‘...
The BSP has an automatic battery recognition mode. When connected to a battery it will measure the available voltage and detect if it is a 12 V, 24 V or 48V battery. It is possible to force the BSP to function with a given voltage with parameter {6057}.
0 and 100%. For instance, if the maximum discharge rate is set to 30% with the parameter {6055}, the BSP will display a value of 0 % when arriving at this level. The manufacturer's charge rate consists of tens of hours in the absorption phase.
The activation of the parameter {6058} allows to implement a global limit on the battery charge current equal to the value of the parameter {6059} given the current measured by the BSP. This limitation is imposed on VarioTracks and VarioStrings with software versions equal or greater than 1.5.30 and 1.5.20, respectively.
{6001} is used. ONFIGURATION AS SIMPLE COUNTER When using other battery technologies than lead it is necessary to configure the BSP as a simple counter without correction. It is necessary to activate the "end of charge synchronisation" to avoid the state of charge to derive due to measuring errors and loss of battery capacity.
