A synchronisation step means performing a charge cycle on the battery.
A charge cycle will be considered complete when all discharged energy is
restored in the battery and Auto-sync parameters F1.0, F1.1 and F1.2 are
met (see “System Property Settings” on page 3–28). This typically occurs when
the battery charger switches to float mode. By meeting these conditions, the
battery is considered full, which will be indicated by a flashing Full message on
the display. The State-of-charge readout will also be set to 100% and the Amp-
hour readout reset to 0 Ah. The Full message will disappear when a key is
pressed or automatically when the battery starts discharging again.
Upgrading Firmware
Firmware upgrades for the Battery Monitor and other Xanbus-enabled devices
can be performed whenever required. These upgrades are only possible through
Xanbus communication and can be completed using the Conext Configuration
Tool and included dongle, or with the Conext ComBox.
Be sure to back up all data log files prior to upgrading the firmware. Upgrades for
the Battery Monitor can take five minutes or more depending on various factors,
so be sure to allow enough time for the upgrade to complete. Do not reset any
devices while the upgrade is taking place.
New firmware updates can be found at www.SEsolar.com.
For detailed instructions about upgrading device firmware, refer to the
Conext
Configuration Tool Owner’s Guide and the Conext ComBox Owner’s Guide.
Multiple Battery Monitors on the same Xanbus network
When running multiple Battery Monitors on the same Xanbus network, a
maximum of up to 4 Battery Monitors can be connected to various battery sizes
as needed. If multiple Battery Monitors are installed, they should each be
assigned a different Battery Association (e.g. HouseBatt1-HouseBatt4) using the
Conext Configuration Tool, Conext ComBox, or Conext SCP (Multi Menu).
