5.1. Appendix A
Loads which can be controlled directly by the Load disconnect output of the Smart BMS:
Inverters:
All Phoenix inverters VE.Direct and Phoenix Inverters Smart. Connect the Load disconnect output of the BMS to terminal H of the 2-pole connector of the inverter.
DC-DC converters:
All Tr type DC-DC converters with remote on/off connector and Orion 12/24-20. Connect the Load disconnect output of the BMS to the right hand terminal of the 2-pole connector.
BatteryProtect and Smart BatteryProtect:
Connect the Load disconnect output of the BMS to terminal 2.1 (right hand terminal) for the BatteryProtect and H pin of the 2-pole connectorfor the Smart BatteryProtect.
Cyrix-Li-Load:
Connect the Load disconnect output of the BMS to the control input of the Cyrix.
Loads for which an inverting remote on-off cable is needed (article number ASS030550100 or -120):
Phoenix VE.Bus inverters and VE.Bus Inverter Compact rated at 1200VA or more
Solar charge controllers which can be controlled directly by the Charge disconnect output:
BlueSolar MPPT 150/70 and 150/80 CAN-bus:
Connect the Charge disconnect output of the BMS to the left hand terminal of the 2-pole connector (B+).
SmartSolar MPPT 150/45 and higher, 250/60 and higher
Connect the Charge disconnect output of the BMS to the right hand terminal (marked +) or the left hand terminal (marked H) of the 2-pole connector.
Solar charge controllers for which a VE.Direct non-inverting remote on-off cable is needed (article number ASS030550320):
BlueSolar MPPT models except the BlueSolar MPPT 150/70 and 150/80 CAN-bus
SmartSolar MPPT up to 150/35
Battery Chargers:
Phoenix Smart IP43 Chargers:
Connect the Charge disconnect output of the BMS to terminal H of the 2-pole connector.
Skylla TG battery chargers:
Use a non-inverting remote on-off cable (article number ASS030550200).
Skylla-i battery chargers:
Use a Skylla-i remote on-off cable (article number ASS030550400).
Other battery chargers:
Use a Cyrix-Li-Charge or connect the charger to the primary side of the Smart BMS.
MultiPlus:
MultiPlus 500VA – 1600VA & MultiPlus Compact 800VA – 2kVA
These MultiPlus models can be controlled from the Load Disconnect and Charge Disconnect outputs by using the Smart BMS CL 12/100 to MultiPlus cable (article number ASS070200100). This cable must be wired to the remote on/off connector of the MultiPlus:
When used with the MultiPlus 500VA-1200VA models, connect the black wire to the ON terminal and the red wire to the (+) terminal.
When used with the MultiPlus 1600VA model, connect the black wire to the left terminal and the red wire to the right terminal.
When used with the MultiPlus Compact 800VA-2kVA models, connect the black wire to the middle terminal and the red wire to the right (IN) terminal.
Both, the Load disconnect and Charge disconnect outputs of the BMS, must be in ‘High’ state in order for the MultiPlus to operate. After shutdown due to low battery voltage, run the alternator or use a battery charger on the primary side of the BMS to reset the system. The MultiPlus will then switch on and start charging (if connected to an AC power source).
MultiPlus-II and MultiPlus 3kVA or more
For more info on how to configure the MultiPlus to work with the Smart BMS CL 12-100 please refer to the document on our website: https://www.victronenergy.com/upload/documents/Manual-Connecting-other-lithium-battery-systems-to-Multis-and-Quattros-EN.pdf
The Load disconnect and Charge disconnect outputs will be wired to the MultiPlus with two inverting remote on-off cables (article number ASS030550100) as shown in the System example for the MutliPlus 3kVA.
5.2. Appendix B
Error, Alarm and Warning Codes
E-B30: Calibration failure
Internal malfunction – calibration data failure/missing.
Tip
Contact dealer for support – Fault is not user correctable and Smart BMS requires replacement.
E-B31: Configuration failure
Internal malfunction - configuration data failure/missing.
Tip
To recover the Smart BMS from this condition:
Reset the unit to factory defaults under - Settings > More options > Reset to defaults
Disconnect all power and wait 3 minutes before reconnecting
Reconfigure the unit as required
E-B32: Battery BMS Cable not connected or defect
Detached or defect battery BMS cable (with M8 circular connector) detected.
When BMS cables are neither detached nor defect, this can happen when the pre-alarm feature is enabled while using batteries not supported this feature.
Tip
Check if battery supports pre-alarm feature. If not:
Go to Settings page and disable pre-alarm feature.
Note that for Smart BMS devices with firmware v1.08 and later, BMS cable error detection has been removed. For these devices, the error message is no longer displayed.
E-B33: Reference Voltage failure
Internal malfunction - reference voltage failure/missing.
Tip
Contact dealer for support - Fault is not user correctable and Smart BMS requires replacement
A-B11: Undervoltage
Undervoltage protection is activated in the event that the battery does not allow discharge.
Tip
Switch off/disconnect loads and recharge the battery
Check charging system and battery for proper operation
A-B15: Over temperature
Over temperature protection is activated in the event of excessive internal temperature.
Tip
Make sure that the correct fuse rating has been selected. Choosing the right fuse will also prevent overheating of the alternator and/or DC cabling.
Check for loose/high resistance connections and ensure that appropriate gauge wiring is used in the installation.
Do not install the Smart BMS unit in a location exposed to high temperature or radiant heat. Relocate the Smart BMS to a cooler position or provide additional active cooling.
W-B12: Undervoltage warning
Urgent intervention required to prevent system shutdown.
Tip
Switch off/disconnect loads and recharge the battery.
Check charging system and battery for proper operation.
