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

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.

2 USER GUIDE

2.1 Operating the BMIS

TO CONNECT TRUCK POWER:

• Turn the Yellow Handle to the ‘ON’ position (marked ‘1’).

• The LED will be lit.

TO DISCONNECT THE TRUCK POWER

• Turn the Yellow Handle to the ‘OFF’ position (marked ‘0’).

• The LED will not be lit.

11

2 USER GUIDE

2.2 LED Indication

• The LED is ON when the truck power is Connected.

• The LED is OFF when the truck power is Disconnected.

• The LED is flashing when the BMIS is in fault or in self test mode.

2.3.1 LED Fault & Self-test Conditions

Faults are indicated by flashing of the Warning Lamp and the LED on the unit. If the LED
is on solid, the unit is working correctly.
Flashing for approximately 2 seconds after the ignition is turned ON and for up to 5
seconds after the isolation switch is turned ON is normal. This indicates the unit is
performing a self test and does not indicate a fault.
Flashing at any other time indicates a problem - see section 2.3.2

2.3.2 Flashing LED Diagnosis

If a Roll Over Switch (ROS) is connected, remove the ROS.

• If the flashing stops, there may be an issue with the ROS.

If a remote switch is fitted, disconnect the remote switch and remote switch harness.

• If the flashing stops, there may be an issue with the remote switch or its associated
harness.

If the flashing continues the BMIS may be faulty.

• Check inside ROS connectors for moisture ingress - including signs of terminal
corrosion and water (droplets).

• Check remote switch for moisture ingress - look for signs of water (droplets),
corrosion (on metallic parts and terminals) or ‘high tide marks’ in enclosures and
inside connectors.

• With ROS disconnected and harness disconnected from BMIS (data connector),
measure resistance between harness circuits for remote switch and ROS - any
2 circuits measuring less than 100kΩ must be checked for moisture ingress and
rectified.

• If LED is not lit, check that you have used the correct part (PN or PP) and that the
switch is on.

• If LED remains on after switch is turned off, check that:

• The battery is connected to the correct side of the switch.

• All circuits are connected through the BMIS.

12

3 TROUBLESHOOTING

3.1 Remote Switch

If the remote switch does not work, check that all four wires are connected to the contacts
(DPST type) as per the data connector wiring diagram (figure 1.3). The remote switch will
not work if only two wires are connected to a single contact. Do not short wires together
when connected to the remote switch, this will render the remote switch inoperable with
the Redarc BMIS. When installing or diagnosing the remote switch circuit, Test that a
short circuit on either pole of the remote switch does not cause the BMIS to trigger.

4 FAQS

Question: Is the unit protected against voltage spikes?

Answer: Yes, the BMIS incorporates a number of spike protection components
specifically designed to reduce the risk of damaging the unit. The BMIS is also
designed to prevent any spikes being generated by the unit and in turn affecting any
vehicle equipment.

Question: What does the LED indicate?

Answer: The LED indicates the unit is activated and power is available to the vehicle.
A flashing red LED indicates a fault except during the first 5 seconds after turning the
isolation switch on. See section 2.3.1 on page 12.

Question: Can I use the BMIS to shut off the engine?

Answer: Do NOT routinely 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’s recommended to perform an engine shutdown test 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
and/or accelerated wear to vehicle electrical systems.

5 TECH TIPS

When mounting - ensure torque in 2 stages, criss-cross method with torque wrench
Do NOT install star washers between cable lugs and terminals
Ensure cables are straight and do not interfere with the cover/fascia
Flashing LED - check for water or fault connection in wiring harness
Remote switch requires dual pole to operate the BMIS
Make sure the mating Deutsch connector has blanking plugs installed to prevent
potential water ingress

14

6 MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

If the BMIS is installed or used in dirty conditions, check and clean on a regular basis.
Do not open the Unit by removing the rear cover.

Clean the unit with warm, soapy water.

• Do Not high pressure clean.

• Periodically check that the screws and nuts are tight and for correct torque on
power on battery and starter motor connections.

• Periodically check isolation switch function in accordance with warnings found on
page 1 of this manual.

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.

connection with any non-performance or delay in performance of any terms and
conditions of this Warranty, due to acts of God, war, riots, strikes, warlike conditions,
plague or other epidemic, fire, flood, blizzard, hurricane, changes of public policies,
terrorism and other events which are beyond the control of Redarc. In such
circumstances, Redarc may suspend performance of this Warranty without liability
for the period of the delay reasonably attributable to such causes.

20. If a clause or part of a clause in this Warranty can be read in a way that makes it
illegal, unenforceable or invalid, but can also be read in a way that makes it legal,
enforceable and valid, it must be read in the latter way. If any clause or part of
a clause in this Warranty is illegal, unenforceable or invalid, that clause or part is
to be treated as removed from this Warranty, but the rest of this Warranty is not
affected.
