Installation The cabinet in which the battery will be installed must be in closed electrical enclosure according to chapter 5.2.7 of EN50178-1:1999 standard. If the product is brought to the installation location from a cold environment, condensation may form and this may lead to damage the electronic equipment. Before commissioning, the product must be dry.

4. BATTERY MANAGEMENT AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 4.1. General principle Charge and discharge of the Li-ion battery must be monitored and managed with respect to physical parameters such as cell voltages, battery current and module temperature. This management is performed by the BMU board inside the BMM, which runs algorithms and monitors the battery.
4.2.2. Over-discharge protection Two kinds of protection are used to prevent over discharge: regarding cells voltage, BMM could open the contactor. The two kinds of protection are: Cell under voltage first level: one cell voltage < 2.5V Cell under voltage second level (redundant): one cell voltage < 2V 4.2.3.
4.3. Communication CAN Open communication bus: Baud rate: 250kBd Standard CAN (11 bits identifier) 120Ω resistor terminal not connected inside the BMM For objects dictionary, see document [RD2]. Nota: as the 120Ω resistor terminal is not connected inside the BMM, it is the responsibility of user to integrate it in the CAN bus.
4.5. Operational states NOMINAL SLEEP SAFE INIT STAND BY Figure 13: Battery modes Off: in this mode, BMU is not supplied. Thus, the battery is not supervised by the BMM. Init: in this mode, the battery is unavailable, meaning it is disconnected from the overall system. The BMU proceeds to its internal tests: ...
Sleep: this state places the electronic devices inside modules (SMU) and BMM in low power consumption: the contactor is open and there is no possibility to charge and discharge battery. However, CAN communication is still available with BMM. Safe: two kinds of faults can occur: warnings and alarms. At warning level, the battery system stays in nominal mode and only informs about the fault code.
4.7. Battery charging The BMM sends to the application via the CAN Open bus the maximum continuous charge current allowed (IMR_C) and the instantaneous charge current allowed (IMR). Exceeding IMR value might lead to preliminary aging. During charge, the BMM controls the battery physical parameters (cell voltages, current and temperature) and informs the application about some warning first and alarms then.
IMR limit sent on CAN Open by BMM IMR_C limit sent on CAN Open by BMM VMR limit sent on CAN Open by BMM Battery voltage Charger current IMR_C Time Figure 15: Battery charge profile The following profile gives the recommended maximum currents for the normal charging profile as a function of temperature, for a VL45E cell.
2.5V, a critical fault is sent and the battery contactor is opened (see §4.2.2). If one cell is over-discharged (< 2V), the battery is out of order and SAFT shall be contacted. For lithium-ion technology, when the cell voltage reaches a very low value, the battery may be no longer operational.
4.12. Balancing The balancing of the cells consists in keeping the cell voltages homogeneous in all the system. The resistive balancing management circuit is integrated into the SMU module: it partially discharges any cells that exceed the specified voltage discrepancy with respect to their neighbours via bypass resistors.
4.14.2. Data received by BMM from EMS To work properly, BMM needs to receive data from EMS. Command to close the contactor: At start-up, the battery is in STANDBY mode and is waiting for a RPDO CAN open message to go in NOMINAL mode (and close the contactor).
Command to request a Self-test: In order to authorize the battery contactor self-testing (opening / closing), EMS needs to send a command using SDO CAN open protocol. This command must be sent: Every 6 months or, When BMM requires a Self-test (object 2018: Byte6 – Bit0 of TPD03 set to 1). When the BMM requires a Self-test via CAN, EMS has to request a Self-test in the following 24 hours.

An unbalanced battery affects its performance. Of course the battery system is operational but the autonomy is not at full performance during the first days. For example, a difference of 100mV between minimum and maximum cells’ voltages minimizes by 15% its capacity. Battery performance is at its maximum when the balancing is done at a full charge (100% SOC).
In case of modules stored at negative temperature, they have to be stored 24h inside an area with a temperature > 0°C prior to recharge them. If a cell voltage drops below 2V, do not try to recharge the module and contact SAFT. Charging an over discharged module may lead to an uncontrolled heating.
SAFT. Do not open the modules and BMM. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that maintenance people have the skills to operate on high voltage systems. It is strictly forbidden to open the unit prior to Saft’s formal approval. 34/45...
The following documents must be prepared for transportation: A shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods Safety instructions (SAFT use the MSDS NS 710 051) If transport by air and weight exceeding 35kg a copy of the approval by the state of the origin must accompany the consignment.
