¶ TROUBLESHOOTING: Device Sync Not Working
Some possible reasons for sync to fail are outlined below for you to check:
¶ 1. Your actual battery pack doesn't match what you have told the system you have.
Sometimes people forget Leaf batteries are 2s and put 7 leaf batteries in as 7s instead of 14s). Device Sync tests the communications for the cell settings and tells them their place in the pack and what limits to operate at.
¶ 2. The CellMon network is not a complete circuit SETUP: CellMon Network Test.
This would mean no responses come back, hence the failure.
¶ 3. You are trying to do this in WiFi mode.
WiFi is read-only hence you need to change to USB mode.
The status icon is:
instead of:
¶ 4. You have extended your CellMon cable with a non-twisted pair. Or more than 4m timeouts as a response not received in time. Or there is too much noise on wires.
¶ 5. At least one battery is below 2V.
Distributed cellmons are powered by the battery they are attached to and need a minimum of 2V power.
¶ 6. Firmware doesn't match the software version you are using.
Depending on changes made, this can affect communication sometimes.
¶ 7. You are using a WatchMonPlus.
Device sync is only needed in decentralised systems. This will probably still mean that the wiring does not match what you configured but the consequences are less dire.
