Battery Master Isolation Switch
BMIS-4PN, BMIS-4PP
THE BATTERY MASTER ISOLATION SWITCH (BMIS)
The Battery Master Isolation Switch (BMIS) allows for manual isolation of a vehicle’s (trucks) electrical system from its battery. The BMIS will also ensure that no loads are drawn from the vehicle whilst not in use, thereby reducing flat battery faults.
The BMIS models are intended to meet the compliance and specification requirements found in this document and are designed for use with roll over switches or sensors (ROS).
WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE BMIS. DO NOT OPERATE THE ISOLATION SWITCH UNLESS YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THIS MANUAL AND THE ISOLATION SWITCH IS INSTALLED AS PER THESE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
1. IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOUR ISOLATION SWITCH BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED INSTALLER AND THE ISOLATION SWITCH FUNCTION BE CHECKED AT LEAST EVERY 3 MONTHS. AN IMPROPERLY INSTALLED AND/OR FAULTY ISOLATION SWITCH CAN CAUSE ERRATIC VEHICLE BEHAVIOUR AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
2. ENSURE THAT THE BMIS IS MOUNTED IN THE ORIENTATION AS DEPICTED. ALTERNATIVE ORIENTATION MAY COMPROMISE CORRECT PRODUCT FUNCTION.
3. ENSURE THAT ALL WIRES ARE TERMINATED CORRECTLY. FAILURE TO CORRECTLY TERMINATE WIRES COULD RESULT IN ERRATIC VEHICLE BEHAVIOUR AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, BATTERY FIRE, EXPLOSION OR LEAKAGE.
4. ENSURE THAT THE BMIS SWITCH IS OFF BEFORE INSTALLING THE UNIT. INSTALLING THE BMIS WHILST THE SWITCH IS ON COULD RESULT IN FIRE AND MAY CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.
5. ENSURE THAT THE RED COVER IS INSTALLED, TO PROTECT THE SWITCH MECHANISM FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION DUE TO IMPACT OR CORROSION. ACCIDENTAL OPERATION COULD RESULT IN UNEXPECTED POWER ISOLATION AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL.
6. BMIS 4PP OR 4PN MODELS ARE NOT FOR OPERATION IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. OPERATION WHEN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE ARE PRESENT MAY CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION AND RESULT IN INJURY TO PERSONS AND/OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY. ALLOW EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES TO DISSIPATE OR INSTALL UNIT IN NON-EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES BEFORE OPERATING.
1. Ensure that the cable used to install the BMIS is of adequate thickness to supply the required current to operate the vehicle electrical system. Incorrect wiring can result in fire and may cause injury to persons, damage to the BMIS and/or damage to property.
2. Do NOT alter or disassemble the BMIS under any circumstances. There are no user serviceable parts inside. The BMIS is not serviceable and is lubricated for life. The BMIS must be returned to your supplier for Assessment. Incorrect handling, disassembly or reassembly may result in a risk of electric shock or fire and may void the unit warranty.

WARNINGS & SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Ensure that a correct grounding point is used. Bad grounding of the unit will result in poor or no operation.
2. Do NOT use the BMIS to shut off the engine except in an emergency or for routine testing. Use the ignition key as per normal vehicle operation. It is recommended for an engine shutdown test, to perform this on a fully charged battery, or allow a few minutes of engine operation beforehand to recharge the battery as much as possible. Following these recommendations will minimise the possibility of damage or accelerated wear to vehicle electrical systems.
3. Ensure unused holes in the connector are filled with cavity plugs as contamination ingress may damage the BMIS or connector.
4. To prevent contamination ingress, do not insert multiple wires into a single Deutsch connector terminal.
5. For vehicles fitted with SCR / Adblue, it is recommended to restart the truck engine immediately after testing if isolating via the BMIS. Allow 30 seconds minimum or as per the manufacturer’s recommendations between key off and isolating the BMIS to allow the SCR system to purge. Refer to the Vehicle manufacturer’s manual for further information.

1 INSTALLATION
1.1 Mounting the BMIS
STEP 1.
Bolt the BMIS to a mounting plate with 4 x M8 anti-vibration fasteners and large flat washers as shown (Grade 8.8 minimum). Recommended to use 19mm OD, 1.6mm Flat washer as a minimum size.
TORQUE: 10Nm then 20Nm in a cross pattern (to avoid stressing the housing)
ENSURE THAT SWITCH IS OFF BEFORE INSTALLING THE BMIS UNIT (MARKED ‘0’). ENSURE THAT THE BMIS IS MOUNTED IN THE ORIENTATION AS DEPICTED ON A FLAT PLANE OR USING THE BMIS-AP. ALTERNATIVE ORIENTATION MAY COMPROMISE CORRECT PRODUCT FUNCTION.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE UNIT BY REMOVING THE REAR COVER. THIS UNIT IS NOT SERVICEABLE.
