7 COMMISSIONING
Below describes the procedure for commissioning the Lithium-Ion battery system.
7.1 Procedure
Use the following procedure to verify the systems functionality:
Check the firmware version of the Lynx Ion BMS:

The Lynx Ion BMS firmware version is updated to the latest release.
Check that there are no loads or chargers connected directly to the batteries:

The power cables from the battery goes directly to the Lynx Ion BMS, and there are no other power cables present.
Check for each and every charger in the system that it is controlled by the allow-to-charge:

Make sure the battery is not fully charged. The allow-to-charge indicator on the Color Control GX shows Yes or the
"Diagnostic Tool" shows charging allowed.

Make sure the charger is charging by reading the battery current from the Color Control GX. This has to be a positive
number (for example 10.5A).

Disconnect one wire from the allow-to-charge (connector 'A', pin 2 or connector 'B', pin 1).

Check that all chargers stopped charging by reading the battery current from the Color Control GX. This has to be 0A
or a negative number (discharging).
Check for each and every loads in the system that it is controlled by the allow-to discharge:

Make sure the battery is not completely empty. The allow-to-discharge indicator on the Color Control GX shows Yes
or the "Diagnostic Tool" shows discharging allowed.

Make sure the loads are consuming some energy by reading the battery current from the Color Control GX. This has
to be a negative number (for example -10.5A).

Disconnect one wire from the allow-to-discharge (connector 'A', pin 3 or connector 'B', pin 3).

Check that all loads stopped consuming energy by reading the battery current from the Color Control GX. This has to
be 0A or a positive number (charging).
Check system ready for use:

Make sure that the batteries are fully charged the first time by checking if the battery State-Of-Charge is around the
100% by reading this from the Color Control GX (the first time it will indicate a '-' which means that the SOC is not
valid).
