Battery Management System
The Battery Management system helps to ensure
availability and robustness in power supply to the
starter and other power consumers on board.
Depending on installation, the local controls on the
Battery Management unit(s) or both the local controls
and the Battery Management Display can be used to
control the system.
Local Control
The keypad on the BCM (Battery Control Module) has
four buttons, 3 for switches and one to disable remote
control of the BCM. The switches not only switch power
supply on and off but are also able when necessary to
cross connect the service battery to the starter motor
circuit when the start battery does not provide sufficient
power to the starter motor.
- BATTERY 1: Turns off/on the power supply for start
motor and any power-user.
- BATTERY 2: Turns off/on the power supply for
selected accessories.
- CROSSOVER: Crossover function. Activates cross
over function between the batteries connected to
the BCM. To secure power-supply.
Remote disable
In order to prevent inadvertent activation of the
breakers (via the Battery Management display or
external wired switches) when working on the boat’s
electrical system, remote control of the breakers can
be deactivated.
Press REMOTE DISABLE (red LED on the button
lights up) for deactivation of remote control. The
breakers can still be controlled locally on the BCM.
Deactivation/activation is synchronized between all
BCMs in the network.
Remote disable.
