Connecting To A Network - MicroPower Access BMU Basic Instrucciones De Uso

• Install the battery monitoring unit and its
cables in a dry place on the battery.
• Make sure there is no risk of mechanical
damage.
• The battery monitoring unit is installed so the
control panel is fully visible.
2. Connect the battery monitoring unit's black
cable (Fig. 1 pos 5) to the battery's negative
terminal (Fig. 1 pos 6).
3 Locate where the electrolyte level and battery
temperature sensor is to be installed.
Note:
This sensor may only be used on vented
batteries.
The electrolyte level and battery temperature
sensor (Fig. 1 pos 3) must be installed at least
± 3 cells from the current sensor's connection
point in order for the sensor to work correctly.
4 Drill a 12 mm (0.472 inch) hole in the top of the
battery cell for the electrolyte level and battery
temperature sensor.
5 Fit the sensor's seal (Fig. 3 pos 1).
6 Cut the sensor's lead probe (Fig. 3 pos 2) and
the plastic casing so that the sensor gives an
alarm well in advance of the water reaching a
critical level for the battery. The cut must be
diagonal so that there is a sharp pouring edge.
If the electrolyte level is (Fig. 3 pos 3) below the
lead probe the low electrolyte level indicator
comes on .
The battery's lead plates (Fig. 3 pos 4) must be
covered with electrolyte.
Warning
Risk of short-circuiting!
High voltage!
Make sure that the electrolyte level and battery
temperature sensor is not in contact with the
battery's lead plates. This can result in short-
circuiting and incorrect status indication.
7 Install the electrolyte level and battery
temperature sensor. Makes sure the seal
closes tightly against the hole.
8 Connect the battery monitoring unit's red cable
(Fig. 1 pos 2) to the battery's positive terminal
(Fig. 1 pos 1).
All indications on the battery monitoring unit's
control panel come on briefly.
9 Check and rectify any indications. Indications
are described in Status indicator.
10 Secure Access™ BMU and its cables using the
supplied cable ties.
11 Check that all the battery's disconnected cell
interconnections have the right tightening
torque in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendation.
Warning
Risk of fire!
An incorrectly tightened interconnection can
damage the battery, resulting in heat
development and fire.
Use the tightening torque according to the
manufacturer's recommendation.

Connecting to a network

On delivery, Access™ BMU is connected to a
factory set network.
The charging parameters and other settings in
Access™ BMU must be set correctly for the
battery in question.
The settings are made with the Access™ Service
tool, which must be connected to the appropriate
Access™ BMU.
Some settings for Access™ BMU can also be
made using the menu system on the Access™
battery charger when they are connected to each
other.
Caution
Incorrectly set charging parameters can damage
the battery.
Connect to the existing
network with the associated
Access™ Battery charger
1. Set the charger's charging parameter Source
in the menu Service/Charging parameter to
BMU or another BMU option.
2. Activate Join enable on the charger.
3. Connect the charger to the battery that has the
relevant Access™ BMU fitted.
