Step 1 — Hardware Installation

Wire the cell taps and CAN bus

  1. Wire the cell-tap harness (CELL_TAP 1–14) matching your pack configuration.
  2. Connect CAN_H/CAN_L to the flight controller's CAN bus.
  3. Mount the thermal sensor (THERM) against the cell pack.
Step 2 — Software Installation

Install the BMS configurator

  1. Install the AeroVolt BMS Configurator for your OS.
  2. Connect via a CAN-to-USB adapter or onboard telemetry.
  3. Confirm the pack's cell count is auto-detected correctly.
Step 3 — Firmware & Configuration

Set chemistry, thresholds & calibration

  1. Set cell chemistry and cutoff thresholds.
  2. Calibrate per-cell voltage offsets.
  3. Configure thermal cutoff and current limits.
Step 4 — First Power-On & Verification

Verify telemetry before flight

  1. Verify balanced cell voltages are reported within ±5mV.
  2. Confirm the CAN telemetry stream is visible on the host flight controller.
  3. Run a controlled discharge test before flight deployment.
