¶ SETUP: Device Sync
This process will sync all distributed CellMons (LongMons, BlockMons, LeafMons) with the WatchMon Hardware.
It is not used for centralised cell monitors (CellMate-K9) except for the system to detect the number of pins wired and to remember the cell counts per module.
¶ PURPOSE
The purpose of Device Sync is for distributed cell monitors such as LongMons, BlockMons and LeafMons. It sends targets such as bypass voltage and the cell monitor's place within the battery pack. This allows the cell monitor to act on those targets and when reporting back to the WatchMon, it can identify itself and its voltage.
With CellMate-K9 it is used to detect the number of pins wired and the remember the cell counts per module. After this is done, it isn't needed to be repeated unless you change the wiring and cell counts per module or add or subtract a module.
NOTE: The first CellMon connected to the 4-pin connector will appear on the screen as “cell 1” and work up the chain to the most positive, finishing the chain on the 2-pin connector. See: how to connect the Cell monitors to WatchMon
¶ IsoMon 3
With WatchMonCORE, we have replaced the CMU with IsoMon3.
¶ How to Device Sync
¶ 1. Click on “Device Sync” in the Setup Checklist.
¶ or click on "Menu" then click on "Hardware".
¶ Click on "CellMon" tab and click on "Device Sync".
¶ 2. Click on “Start”.
The CellMon LEDs will blink during this procedure.
Device Sync will be matching the number of Cell monitors configured on Wizard setup versus the number of Cell monitors connected to the WatchMon hardware, in this example of 14 CellMons. You can follow the progress on the "GroupAck" box highlighted below.
¶ 3. Device Sync OK
If all CellMons ( in this case 14 CellMons) are detected, a green message will appear on the bottom right, as shown in the image above.
¶ Chart Display
At this stage, all CellMons should be displaying live in blue, on your screen.
