Once all users are created, click the Continue button to proceed. Eagle Eye Power Solutions, LLC | 1-414-877-3377 | www.eepowersolutions.com...
  • Page 7 Number of strings: Enter the number of parallel strings in the battery. If there is only one, type “1” Number of cells: Enter the number of cells to be monitored. Cell manufacturer: Enter the manufacturer of the battery. Eagle Eye Power Solutions, LLC | 1-414-877-3377 | www.eepowersolutions.com...
  • Page 8 Expected service life (year): Enter the expected service life of the battery after installation. 2. Double check all information is correct, then click the Save button to continue to the next section.   Eagle Eye Power Solutions, LLC | 1-414-877-3377 | www.eepowersolutions.com...
  • Page 9: Configure Sensors

    There are general steps which need to be adjusted per the specific battery configuration. 6.1 Configure Standard Sensors The VIGILANT requires a single sensor for every cell voltage measured. These are considered the standard sensors. The steps below outline how to configure them.
  • Page 10 6.1.5 ELM fitted? If installing the ELM electrolyte level sensors, check the box for each VIGILANT sensor that will be assigned an ELM. In most cases, just click the box above "ELM fitted?" to add the ELM to all sensors.

  • Page 12 1. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click the + Add a sensor button. 2. A new row will be added for the +1 sensor. Eagle Eye Power Solutions, LLC | 1-414-877-3377 | www.eepowersolutions.com...
  • Page 13 ID number ("Install Order" column) on the previous page. Once assigned, sensors will pass through various calibrations before the system is ready to start up. 7.1 Sensor Assignment Preparation Before assignment starts, follow these steps to ensure the system is ready. Eagle Eye Power Solutions, LLC | 1-414-877-3377 | www.eepowersolutions.com...
  • Page 14 1. ID Assignment: Assigns the sensor an ID which is based on the order it's plugged in. The first sensor connected is assigned 1, followed by 2 and so on. 2. Sensor Compatibility: Determines that the VIGILANT sensor firmware version is compatible with the monitor.
  • Page 15: Connect Sensors

    Clear ID command and click the Send button. 4. Proceed in connecting each sensor in order one by one until the last sensor has been assigned. The LEDs on all sensors should be solid green. Eagle Eye Power Solutions, LLC | 1-414-877-3377 | www.eepowersolutions.com...
  • Page 16 Phase Two State Tasks: 1. Connection Check: Verifies that some readings (unit voltage, temperature, & strap voltage) fall within acceptable bounds. 2. Sensor Configuration: Configures the sensor based on the provided settings. Eagle Eye Power Solutions, LLC | 1-414-877-3377 | www.eepowersolutions.com...
  • Page 17 Once Phase 2 is completed, click the Continue button to complete the setup. The system will finalize the setup which can take 5-15 minutes. Once completed the system Home page will appear. Eagle Eye Power Solutions, LLC | 1-414-877-3377 | www.eepowersolutions.com...
  • Page 18 Once the voltage populates, verify the measurement data displayed on the Home page. Float voltage: Confirm the float voltage reading displayed is within 1% of a manual measurement with a calibrated meter. Eagle Eye Power Solutions, LLC | 1-414-877-3377 | www.eepowersolutions.com...
  • Page 19 Then import the data from the portable tester. Since resistance readings can vary between testers, the data may not always be the same. However, for most testers it should follow the same pattern when charted. See below example. Eagle Eye Power Solutions, LLC | 1-414-877-3377 | www.eepowersolutions.com...
  • Page 20: Set Alarm Limits

    Once all the data is verified, it's time to set alarm limits. 10.0 Set Alarm Limits All Vigilant alarm limits should be based either on the battery manufacturers voltage limits for the cell type being monitored or a percentage change on a baseline value for the parameter that is established by the installer once the monitor has been correctly set up and commissioned.
  • Page 21 1. Internal Battery Resistance: The ohmic value of the cell is based on the measurement of the internal resistance of the cell or unit. The Vigilant uses a DC pulse through the battery to calculate the value.
