5.5.1 Serial Networking

Prerequisites
Before networking, ensure that all the iBOXs and iBATs have no network parameters, that is,
the RF_Z indicator on the iBOX is steady green and the RUN/ALM indicator on the iBAT is
steady red.



Context
To prevent the iBAT in a different group from connecting to another iBOX, ensure that only
one iBOX is under networking at a time. That is, only the RF_Z indicator of this iBOX is
blinking at super short intervals.
Procedure
Step 1 Hold down the networking switch on the iBOX for 2 seconds. The ALM indicator blinks red
once, and the RF_Z indicator turns from steady green to blinking green at super short
intervals, which indicates that the iBOX is being networked.

After iBAT intelligent hibernating is set to Enable on the iBOX WebUI, the iBAT
detects that the battery voltage is lower than 2.16 V/cell for 30 seconds.
After networking is complete, the iBAT detects that the battery voltage is lower than 2.1
V/cell for 50 hours.

An iBAT starts automatically under the following conditions:
1. The iBAT detects the battery once every 8 seconds. It detects that the battery voltage is higher
than 2.18 V/cell for 10 minutes.
2. The iBAT records the battery voltage once every 6 minutes. It detects that the voltage increases by
more than 0.02 V/cell within 30 minutes.
 When an iBAT is hibernating, you can hold down the networking switch on the iBAT for 10 seconds
to start the iBAT.
 The battery voltage for enabling the iBATs to automatically hibernate or start varies under different
conditions.
If the RF_Z indicator on the iBOX is not steady green, hold down the networking switch
on the iBOX for 10–20 seconds to clear the original network.
If the RUN/ALM indicator on the iBAT is not steady red, hold down the networking
switch on the iBAT for at least 5 seconds to clear the original network.
Do not operate the networking switch during networking. Otherwise, the networking fails.
 Blinking at long intervals: The indicator is on for 1s and then off for 1s alternately.
 Blinking at super short intervals: The indicator is on for 0.05s and then off for 0.05s alternately.
