Boat install: smart BMS 12/200 charge disconnect

I am planning my new solar conversion and have many questions.

My dealer has suggested the following devices: 4 x 220w panels, 2 x MPPT 100/30, Multiplus II 12/3000/120, Cerbo GX, 2 x Victron LiFePo4 200ah batteries, Smart BMS 12/200

For the Smart BMS 12/200, I understand that the load and charge disconnect ports are connected to the Multiplus II, however what I don't understand is what if the Multiplus II is not charging, but charge is coming from the Alternator or the MPPT's. How does the BMS shut them down ? Won't the VE.Direct port on the MPPT be plugged into the Cerbo GX ?

Also, regarding location, can these batteries and the other parts be put in the engine room (diesel) that generally stays below 35 C ?

thanks
