Serial Networking
•
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.
•
The sequence of connecting iBATs to the iBOX determines the battery management number in
the iBOX. It is recommended that iBATs be connected to the iBOX from the positive terminal of
the battery string based on the sequence of connecting battery cables.
•
Do not operate the networking switch during networking. Otherwise, the networking fails.
1. Check that the RF_Z indicators on all iBOXs are steady green. Otherwise, hold down the
networking switch for 10–20s to clear the original network.
2. Check that the RUN/ALM indicator on the iBAT is steady red. Otherwise, hold down the
networking switch for at least 5s to clear the original network.
3. 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.
4. Hold down the iBAT networking switch for 2 seconds. When the RUN/ALM indicator turns from
steady red to blinking green at short intervals, and finally to blinking green at long intervals, the
iBAT connects to the iBOX network.
5. Repeat step 4 to add other iBATs to the iBOX network.
6. Hold down the networking switch on the iBOX for 2 seconds. When the RF_Z indicator on the
iBOX turns from blinking green at super short intervals to blinking green at long intervals, the
networking is complete.
After the networking is complete, if the ALM indicator on the iBOX is steady on, the number of
devices online is smaller than the value of iBAT number of iBOX. Check that iBAT number of
iBOX is set to a correct value and that the iBATs are successfully networked (The RUN/ALM
indicator is blinking green at long intervals.).
Parallel Networking
•
For parallel networking, multiple personnel can collect iBAT SN information at the same time.
•
The sequence of collecting iBAT SN information need to be the same as that of battery numbers.
1. Check that the RF_Z indicators on all iBOXs are steady green. Otherwise, hold down the
networking switch for 10–20s to clear the original network.
2. Check that the RUN/ALM indicator on the iBAT is steady red. Otherwise, hold down the
networking switch for at least 5s to clear the original network.
3. Use the Service Expert app to collect iBAT SN information.
