Instrukcje dotyczące instalacji i okablowania

The DEVMO 4S BMS board requires careful wiring to ensure proper function and battery protection. Refer to the images below for visual guidance on connection points.

Figure 1: DEVMO 18650 4S Protection Board (Component Side)

This image displays the top side of the DEVMO 18650 4S Protection Board, highlighting the various connection pads and electronic components. Key labels visible include B+, B-, B1, B2, B3, P+, and P-, which are crucial for wiring the battery pack and charger/load.

Figure 2: DEVMO 18650 4S Protection Board (Solder Side)

This image shows the bottom side of the DEVMO 18650 4S Protection Board, revealing the solder pads and voltage markings such as 11.1V, 14.8V, 7.4V, and 3.7V, which correspond to the cell connection points for balancing.

Etapy podłączania:

1. Battery Pack Connection (B- and B+):
   • Connect the negative terminal of your 4S battery pack to the B- pad on the BMS board.
   • Connect the positive terminal of your 4S battery pack to the B+ pad on the BMS board.
2. Cell Balancing Connections (B1, B2, B3):

   These connections are crucial for the BMS to monitor and balance individual cells within the 4S pack. Ensure these are connected in sequence:

   • Connect the positive terminal of the 1st cell (or the negative terminal of the 2nd cell) to the B1 pad. This point should be approximately 3.7V from B-.
   • Connect the positive terminal of the 2nd cell (or the negative terminal of the 3rd cell) to the B2 pad. This point should be approximately 7.4V from B-.
   • Connect the positive terminal of the 3rd cell (or the negative terminal of the 4th cell) to the B3 pad. This point should be approximately 11.1V from B-.

   Uwaga: tomtage markings on the board (3.7V, 7.4V, 11.1V, 14.8V) correspond to the nominal voltages at these connection points relative to B-.

3. Charger/Load Connection (P- and P+):
   • Connect the negative terminal of your charger or load to the P- pad on the BMS board.
   • Connect the positive terminal of your charger or load to the P+ pad on the BMS board.

   Important: The BMS may not show voltage output on P+ and P- until a charger is connected for the first time to activate the protection circuit. This is a common behavior for many BMS boards.

After wiring, double-check all connections for polarity and correct sequencing before applying power.

Zasady działania

The DEVMO 4S BMS operates by continuously monitoring the voltage of each cell in the battery pack, as well as the overall pack current. Its primary functions include:

• Ochrona przed przeładowaniem: Prevents individual cells from being charged beyond their safe voltage limit (4.25-4.35V), extending battery life and preventing damage.
• Ochrona przed nadmiernym rozładowaniem: Disconnects the load if any cell's voltage drops below the safe minimum (2.3-3.0V), preventing irreversible damage to the cells.
• Zabezpieczenie nadprądowe: Limits the current drawn from or supplied to the battery pack to prevent damage from excessive loads or charging currents. This includes short-circuit protection.
• Równoważenie komórek: During charging, the BMS balances the voltage of each cell, ensuring that all cells reach full charge simultaneously and preventing imbalances that can reduce pack capacity and lifespan.

Konserwacja

The DEVMO 4S BMS board is designed for low maintenance. However, following these guidelines can help ensure its longevity:

• Utrzymuj deskę w czystości, bez kurzu i zanieczyszczeń.
• Avoid exposing the board to excessive moisture or corrosive environments.
• Regularly inspect wiring connections for looseness or corrosion.
• Store the board and connected battery pack in a cool, dry place when not in use.
