1.1 Introduction
1.2 Lay-out
The BMS Interface is an interface that is used to connect a building management system
(BMS) to the control of a EcoCharger. The communication, between the BMS and the
EcoCharger, will be handled via a Modbus communication protocol and is meant for
reading the data of the connected water heater. The BMS Interface does not have its
own display or push buttons.

2 Mounting and Installing
2.1 Introduction
2.2 Mounting
2.3 Connecting
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Mounting the BSM Interface;
• Connecting the BMS Interface between the water heater and BMS.
The BMS Interface is supplied with the following components:
- power supply cable;
- communication cable to connect the BMS Interface to the control of the water heater;
- communication cable to connect the BMS Interface to the building management
system (Modbus).
Note
Mount the BMS Interface near the water heater.
The BMS Interface should be mounted in the following way:
1. Remove the cover of the BMS Interface
2. Mount the rear side of the BMS Interface to the wall with fitting plugs.
The BMS Interface should be connected to the BMS and water heater in the following
way:
1. Connect the power supply cable to the connector
on the upper right side of the BMS Interface.
Connect the other side of the cable to the mains
power supply by using a double-pole isolator.
Note
Fit cable in the strain relief.
Attention
Do not power up the system until all the electrical
connections have been made.
2. Connect the communication cable to the water
heater, via the pull relief, to the two way connector
on the lower right side of the BMS Interface.
Note
Fit cable in the strain relief.

3. Connect the communication cable to the BUS link
connections (X5 and X6) on the far right side of
the electrical connection box on top of the water
heater.
Note
Fit cable in the strain relief.
Max. length communication cable
It is possible to select another, longer
communication cable for the communication
between the BMS Interface and the water heater.
The maximum length of the cable depends on the
cable diameter, see the table.
Cable diameter
[mm2]
Max. cable length
[m]
0,25 100
0,50 200
0,75 300
1,00 400
1,50 600
4. Connect the communication cable, for Modbus connection to the two connectors on
the lower side of the BMS Interface.
Note
Fit cable in the strain relief.
Attention
First connect the twelve way connector containing the ground wire, next the four way
connector can be connected.
5. Connect the Modbus communication cable
to the BMS in the required way. For this
purpose use the connectors which are
supplied together with the BMS Interface.
Note
Fit cable in the strain relief.

6. Connect the cable from the BMS to the supplied contra connector. First lead the
cable through the strain relief. This three wire cable (2 wires + PE) is not supplied
with the BMS Interface. Make sure that the wires are connected in the right
sequence.
Attention
For optimal communication between the BMS Interface and the BMS, the cable must be
shielded twisted pair with a maximum length of 1200 meters.
7. Finally, place the supplied clip over the connector and use this to lock both connector
parts. All the wiring has now been connected properly.

4 Data readout
4.1 Introduction
The BMS Interface supplies data, in a Modbus format, to the BMS. The user will receive
this data and needs to process this. The attached parameter list can be used.
Pay special attention to some of the data that has to be converted into the wright format
before receiving the expected values. The required conversions are also a part of the
table given on the next page.
ATTENTION:
The parameters mentioned in the table are all of the type “read only”. The only exception
is parameter 0, which is “read/write”.
