1. <strong>Quickstart</strong> - <strong>Installation</strong> of the <strong>BACS</strong> Hardware<br />
The installation of <strong>BACS</strong> consists of 4 major steps. The steps 1 to 3 are described in<br />
this “<strong>Quickstart</strong>” as follows. Please refer to the <strong>BACS</strong> user manual und <strong>BACS</strong><br />
Viewer Software manual for further informations.<br />
1.1 <strong>Installation</strong> of <strong>BACS</strong> Cables, Module, Converter & Splittbox<br />
1.1.1 Connect the <strong>BACS</strong> Measuring Cable BC4 or BC5<br />
Assemble the supply- and measuring cables type BCxxx nearby the battery terminals or rather the battery<br />
connectors. Please note the right polarity, red cable at the plus terminal (+), black cable at the minus terminal<br />
(-). Please tighten the terminal and monitoring screws with the torque as denoted by the battery<br />
manufacturer.<br />

Attention : Please note, that the usage of wrong cables may damage the internal fuses of the cable, the<br />
<strong>BACS</strong> module or rather the safety function of the <strong>BACS</strong> is not functional. Make sure to use only the following<br />
combinations :<br />
<strong>BACS</strong> C20 REV1+2 = <strong>BACS</strong> measuring cable type BC2. (Identification: Without any label on the cable)<br />
<strong>BACS</strong> C30 REV1 = <strong>BACS</strong> measuring cable type BC3, (Identification: yellow coil label around the fuse)<br />
<strong>BACS</strong> C40, C42REV3 = <strong>BACS</strong> measuring cable type BC4 (Identification: Text BC4 printed on the black wire)<br />
<strong>BACS</strong> C20,C23,C30 REV3 = <strong>BACS</strong> measuring cable type BC5, (Identification: Text BC5 printed on the black<br />
wire, see the following figure)<br />

Advice : The usage of stainless steel washers or connector material distort s the RI measuring at<br />
accumulators with a very low resistance. Please note this, if you want to compare the <strong>BACS</strong> RI measurings<br />
with a reference measuring device.<br />
Please note, that the eyelet of the measuring cable should not be smaller than the washer to avoid wrong RI<br />
measurings. The surface of the measuring cable shoe should be ideally the same as the surface of the<br />
battery pole.<br />
Please check the following pictures to ensure an optimal cable installation.<br />
