DRY CONTACT DESCRIPTION
This BMS can provide one channel of dry contact signal, all dry contact signals are passive switches, regardless of polarity.
BUTTON OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
- When the BMS is in sleep state, press the button for more than 1 S, the protection board is activated.
- When the BMS is in operating state, pressing the button more than 3 seconds and less than
- 6 seconds, then the BMS will enter sleep state. When the BMS is in working state, the protection board will reset when the button is pressed for more than 6S.
BUZZER ACTION DESCRIPTION
- In the case of short-circuit protection, the buzzer beeps every 2 seconds. If a short circuit is detected 3 times in a row then he short-circuit protection is locked, the buzzer will no longer beep. Disconnect the battery and wait a few minutes to switch it back on. It might take up to 5 minutes to redetect a clear condition and then the BMS will re enable.
Interface Functions
WARNING
Interfacing or plugging in any 3rd party or non approved Hubble products or
periphirals into the RS232 (serial) or RS485 (Battery Link) ports, can cause
damage to the BMS and cause the BMS to malfunction.
This may also result in damaging the internal cells. Plugging in non approved
Hubble products into these ports can immediately void your warranty.
DESCRIPTION OF SLEEP FUNCTION
In order to reduce the power consumption of the whole system, the system has a sleep function.
When the following conditions are met, the system will enter the sleep mode:
- The over-discharge protection of the BMS has not been released for 5 minutes.
- The duration of the standby state has reached 24 hours (no communication, no charge and discharge, no charger connected).
DESCRIPTION OF WAKE-UP FUNCTION
Please note that the battery enters sleep mode due to single or overall over- discharge, and cannot be activated or switched on by serial port or the comm ports.
The BMS will activate and wake from sleep when the following is detected:
- If a charge current is applied to the battery from the inverter/ups.
- If the power button is pressed.
- Through communication from the RS232 or CANBus in certain circumstances.
CURRENT LIMITING FUNCTION
The BMS has a advanced current limiting function built in. The charge current limiter is designed to activate if charging current has reached the maximum battery design charge limit. This ensures the battery does not disconnect from the circuit and the current limiter takes over and reduces the charge to 20Amps per battery.
The default start-up condition of the charging current limit is to start when the charging current is greater than 100A. After entering the current limit, the test will be performed again every 10 minutes. When the current is less than the current limit start value, the current limit function will be turned off. When the current is bigger than the current limit start value, then the current limiting mode with stay enabled.
COMMUNICATION DESCRIPTION
- The RS232 port is only for use with Hubble specific periphirals or technicians or at a service centre to interface with the BMS. Attempting to use this port for anything else or 3rd party products can cause damage.
- The CAN Port is specifically to be used to any interfacing 3rd party equipment like inverters etc. This port is dedicated to inverters and other CAN bus ports for communication to get battery information.
- The RS485 communication port can be interfaced with 3rd party inverters that does not have a CAN port and is supported by Hubble.
- The Battery link ports are only for connecting more batteries of the same model to increase capacity and to enable multiple battery communications.
OPTIONAL CLOUDLINK DEVICE
The Hubble Cloudlink is an optional add-on to the Hubble X and AM range of products. As long as the device is connected to Wi-Fi it will cloud, all battery and inverter data to our cloud-server, enabling users to remotely monitor their power system.

PARALLEL FUNCTIONS
PARALLEL (CASCADE) FUNCTION OF BATTERY PACKS
When the battery packs are cascaded, the one with the communication address of
0001 is called the master battery pack, and the other ones with the
communication address are called the slave battery packs. The slave battery
pack can communicate with the master battery pack through the RS485
communication interface, and the master battery pack centrally packs and
manages the data of each battery pack in this cascaded system.
When the battery packs are cascaded, only the main battery pack can communicate with the host computer, upload the data, status and information of all battery packs in the cascaded system, integrate monitoring and management, and realize remote monitoring.
RS485 PARALLEL WIRING DIAGRAM
When performing multi-machine parallel communication operation, it is
necessary to configure the DIP address of each PACK first. The dialing code
adopts BCD code format, the definition is:
Warning
TO ENSURE PROPER USE OF THE BATTERY PLEASE READ THE MANUAL CAREFULLY BEFORE USING IT.
HANDLING
Do not expose the battery to fire.
Do not place the battery in a charger or equipment with wrong terminals
connected.
