Note: the above connection information is relevant when the LVDS is a battery 
disconnect. If the LVDS is a load disconnect, the DC bus side wiring of the circuit 
breakers is reversed such that the battery connections come off the DC bus side of the 
LVDS, while the load is taken off the LVDS common busbar. Diode V27 in the battery 
distribution module must be replaced with a shorting link for the LVDS to work as a load 
disconnect.

To re-install the lid, slide it in on the top edge of the base until the lid mates with the rear of 
the BDM base. Secure the front of the lid to the base with 2 x M3 screws. 
3.13  Adding Auxiliary Expansion Modules 
Modules such as the battery cell monitor (BCM), AC monitor, and site monitor are daisy 
chained from the unused ribbon cable connection provided on the Auxiliary programmable 
relay board. All of these expansion modules are required to be mounted external to the 
Powershelf, and a single 16-way ribbon cable connected to the available box-header. 
For more detailed installation information for each of these modules, refer to the 
Expansion Modules document on the manual CD.
