BMS-icom Installation Manual (1) Prepare for Connection 1. Organize clamps based on type and verify that all clamps are present 2. Ensure all intercell connections are secure and torqued to spec (2) Connection of Clamps (C-Type) 1. Place the clamp in the center of the bus-bar and tighten down using the provided screws 2.
BMS-icom Installation Manual Step 3: Sensing Cable Connection Parts: Clamps, clamp covers, voltage sensing cables, current sensing cables Phillips screwdriver, 2-3mm flathead, duct, duct tape, cable ties/zip ties, wire cutter, Tools: wire stripper (22 AWG) (1) Connection Order There are two sensing cables, voltage and current, which connect to the clamps. Each cable has a number of sensing leads which are color coded to help with installation.
BMS-icom Installation Manual Step 4: Control Power Cable Parts: Control Power Cable, C-Clamp (if applicable) Tools: Phillips driver, cable/zip ties The BMS icom is powered by the batteries which it is connected to. The control power cables are also used to monitor string voltage.
BMS-icom Installation Manual Step 5: Temperature Cable Parts: Temperature sensors, TS cable Tools: Tape, silicone Each BMS unit comes standard with (2) temperature sensing leads. The lead is used to measure temperature near the battery post. (1) Place Temperature Leads 1.
BMS-icom Installation Manual Step 7: Verify Connections Parts: Sensing Cables, Clamps Tools: Multimeter or voltmeter Before plugging cable connectors into the MPU, be sure to check each connection using a multimeter. (1) Check Voltage & Current Sensing Connections 1. With the connector end of the cable in hand, insert the positive lead from the multimeter into the grey port 2.
BMS-icom Installation Manual (2) Troubleshooting Incorrect Voltage 1. If voltage is incorrect, connections will need to be checked 2. Set the Multimeter to measure resistance and test the connection between the sensing screw and the sensing cable 3. If the Multimeter displays zero resistance (0.00Ω) then the connection is good. If the...
BMS-icom Installation Manual 6. Communication Setup The BMS icom can communicate directly to a server PC or over a network for remote monitoring of battery systems. The following steps will provide the correct workflow for connecting the BMS icom to a PC or network.
BMS-icom Installation Manual Step 2: Configure MPU IP Parts: BMS MPU, Computer Tools: For communication, the BMS MPU needs to be assigned an IP address. Use the provided WIZ100SR configuration utility to establish connection. This configuration tool can be found on the provided USB drive.
BMS-icom Installation Manual (2) Configure MPU IP Address 1. Launch “WIZ1x0SR_105SR_CFG.exe” 2. Click “Search” to locate the MPU 3. The MPU MAC address will appear under “Board List” 4. Local IP refers to the MPU IP address. To change the IP, enter it in this field 5.
