3.1.1 Module Activation and Shutdown
START UP PROCEDURE
The Power Switch and Run Button are located to the top right side of the front panel, under the cover lid. The Power
Switch is a mechanical switch that switches the battery ON or OFF. The Run Button is an LED button that is only enabled
when the Power Switch is in the ON (I) position. The Run Button provides several status indications that are described in
the table below.
POWER ON: Turn ON the Power Switch (I = ON 0 = OFF)
A 2-second press on the Run Button will turn the Battery Module on.
During the startup procedure, the Run button will blink until the safety inspection has been completed by the
BMS.
In case of cluster, after the master is turned on the slave modules will automatically start up in sequence.
SHUTDOWN: A 5-second press and hold on the Run Button will turn the Battery Module off.
Turn OFF the Power Switch (I = ON 0 = OFF)
In case of cluster, wait for the total shut down (around 60 sec. each module) or manually press the RUN button of
each module (5 seconds) and then set the main switch in OFF (Zero position)
Other functions of the Run Button are explained in the relevant sections of this manual.
Attention: Read this entire manual thoroughly to understand the correct startup and shutdown procedures
for each battery configuration.
POWER SWITCH
For a complete shutdown of the Battery Module (Master or Slave) press the Run Button for 5 seconds and then set the Power
Switch to the OFF (0) position.
CAUTION: After setting the DIP switch, the Battery Module must be restarted for the DIP switch changes to take effect
When the battery SoC is low (SoC<5%) the RUN Button will blink in a
GREEN color at 1 second intervals.
The RUN Button will stop blinking and turn STEADY GREEN when the
battery is in charging mode and the SoC reaches 10%.
