Installing the BVM5. Installing the BVMThis section describes how to mount the BVM, install the voltage sense leads, and terminate thewires at the BVM and jar ends. The BVM-40 system consists of the BVM-40 unit and cables thatconnect the unit to the jars being monitored. Refer to the system drawings and verify allcomponents are available before starting installation.WARNING: Do not energize the BVM or any component with 115VAC or battery voltage untilafter the installation is complete.The maximum length for each voltage sense lead is 100 feet (≈30.5 meters) from BVM to jar.Consider this length and locate the BVM reasonably close to the jars (batteries). Mount the BVMto allow for front and rear panel access. You will need the following tools (or equivalents) tomount and connect the BVM:• Panduit CT-260 crimper for terminals.• Flat blade and Phillips screwdrivers for BVM connectors and mounting hardware.• Drill and 7/32" (0.218") drill bit.5.1. Mounting the BVMNormally, mount the BVM directly to the outside top or inside top of the battery cabinet.Four threaded mounting holes on the BVM top and bottom allow mounting from either side.Refer to drawing BDS-363-A572 for typical installation.If you are securing the BVM to the inside top of the cabinet, use the four standoffs providedto ensure adequate ventilation through the top cover. A template drawing (included) identifieswhere to drill the holes in the battery cabinet. Using the template, drill the holes using a 7/32"(0.218") drill bit, remove any burrs from the drilled holes, and mount the unit with thesupplied screws (and standoffs if required).WARNING: The four mounting screws must not hit the internal components in the BVM-40.Do not substitute the four screws supplied (#10-32x3/8"). The screws must not go more than3/8" into the unit. The supplied screws will provide sufficient holding strength for mountingthe BVM-40 to surfaces up to 1/8" thick.After mounting, ensure the ventilation holes on the top of the BVM are not blocked.5
