+ | ===== 3. CAN-Bus wiring between battery and GX device ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | In order to connect your battery to the relevant GX device, one must utilize a "Type B" cable, the Victron part number for this cable is : ASS030720018. | ||
+ | |||
+ | One should always terminate the CAN port on the GX device when it comes to installing BSL batteries. | ||

+ | ===== 7. Trouble shooting ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 7.1 Battery not turning on ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | If the battery does not want to turn on, there may be a variety of reasons for this including lightning strikes or surging which may have taken place. If this is the case, one should contact their installer to remove the battery. The battery will then be take to the distributer and will then and only then be opened and inspected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 7.2 Battery has a flashing red light ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The battery may have an error, be it internal or externally caused. One should hold in the reset button for 5 seconds, turning the battery off and then hold in the reset button for another 5 seconds once the battery has been off for longer than 10 seconds. This will reset the battery and clear the error. If the error does not clear, one should contact their installer to remove the battery. The battery will then be take to the distributer and will then and only then be opened and inspected. | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==== 7.3 Battery has no voltage or 16V on the battery terminals ==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The battery may have have a faulty breaker or the battery may have been subjected to a surge or lightning strike. If your inverter is reading a low battery reading, one should contact their installer to remove the battery. The battery will then be take to the distributer and will then and only then be opened and inspected. | ||
