1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the Battery Monitor, CAN Bus Node, an intelligent plug-and-play module to decentralize and expand the functionality of your Smartpack based DC power supply system.

About this Guide

This booklet provides you with the required information for installing the Battery Monitor, CAN Bus Node in your Smartpack based DC power supply system. The booklet also presents the Battery Monitors technical specifications. For more detailed description of the Battery Monitor, CAN Bus Node, read the Users Guide Smartpack Monitoring and Control Unit, Art. 350003.013. For description of how to activate and configure the Battery Monitor, CAN Bus Node using the PowerSuite PC program, refer to the PowerSuite online Help system. Refer also to Installation Guide Battery Monitor Symmetry Kit, document number 351497.033, which is included with the kit.

System Diagram CAN Bus Nodes

The Battery Monitor, CAN Bus Node is used as a building block in Smartpack based power supply systems, see Figure 1. Other CAN bus nodes, like the Load Monitor and the I/O Monitor, may also be connected to the bus. The nodes are powered directly from the CAN bus, and have dedicated inputs and outputs that expand the system monitoring and control capability. The Smartpack controller monitors and controls the whole system, and serves as the local user interface between you and the system. The PowerSuite application enables you to configure and operate the system from a personal computer.

3. Installation of Battery Monitors

You can install the Battery Monitor CAN Bus Node if your DC power system meets the following requirements: 1. The systems Smartpack controller has firmware version 2.03 or higher installed
Version Sensitive

2. You have a PC with PowerSuite application version 2.3 or higher installed

You need standard installation tools and equipment used by an authorized electrician. NOTE: All tools must be insulated.

Safety Precautions
Follow these precautions during installation, commissioning and general handling of the Smartpack-based power supply system.
CAUTION: For safety reasons, the commissioning and configuration of the equipment is only to be performed by Eltek Valeres personnel or by authorized and qualified persons; otherwise the warranty may be invalidated. Please, read the user documentation carefully before installing and using the equipment, as installation and operation is to be performed as described in it. WARNING: The batteries represent a major energy hazard. To avoid short-circuit of battery poles, you must always remove metallic objects uninsulated tools, rings, watches, etc. from the vicinity of the batteries.

Fastening the Battery Monitors

You mount the Battery Monitor CAN Bus Node on a battery block, using the Velcroue adhesive tape on the bottom of the module. Thus, the built-in temperature sensor will monitor the battery temperature accurately. For more exact measurements, attach the monitor on the front of a battery block. If not possible, you can fix it on the side of the outer battery block, or on top, or on the cabinets inner side wall

CAN Bus Termination

To ensure a correct bus communication and avoid data reflection, you must always terminate the CAN bus with two 120 resistors, one at each end of the line (60 bus impedance). Smartpack based systems are shipped from factory with the CAN bus already terminated with 120 resistors. The CAN bus termination is implemented with a special RJ45 plug with built-in 120 end-of-line resistor.

Figure 7 Example of CAN bus addressing and termination in a Flatpack2 system with two Battery Monitors connected the CAN bus

When connecting Battery Monitor nodes (max. 14 nodes) to the CAN bus, you have to remove the CAN bus termination plug from the Smartpack controllers rear CAN port, and plug it on one of the CAN ports on the last connected Battery Monitor node. See chapter Removing the Smartpack Controller, page 11.

Removing the Smartpack Controller

To access the CAN bus termination plug from the Smartpack controllers rear CAN port, release (1) both handle springs see Figure 8, page 11 and use both handles to cautiously pull out the module. Be careful, as cables are connected to its rear.

Configuration
When connecting Battery Monitor nodes to the CAN bus of the Smartpack based DC power system, you have to configure each of the Battery Monitors by: 1. Setting the DIP switches with the correct CAN bus address, to assign a unique ID number to the Battery Monitor, read chapter CAN Bus Addressing, on page 12 2. Configuring the Battery Monitor nodes operation, using the PowerSuite application, read chapter About PowerSuite Configuration, page 13

CAN Bus Addressing

The Smartpack controller dynamically software-assigns ID numbers to rectifiers. The controller registers the rectifiers ID numbers or CAN bus address (01, 02) together with their Serial Numbers. The ID numbers (1, 230) on Smartpack controllers and Smartnode units and Battery Monitors ID numbers (33, 3446) are assigned by DIP switches on the nodes side. A maximum of 14 Battery Monitors and or 28 controllers and Smartnode units may be connected to the CAN bus. Note that if only one Battery Monitor is connected, you have to assign it with ID# 33.

About PowerSuite Configuration

You have to connect a PC to the systems Smartpack controller and start the PowerSuite application, version 2.3 or higher, to activate and configure the Battery Monitor nodes. Read the PowerSuite applications Online Help for information on how to configure the CAN Bus nodes. In general, the connected Battery Monitor node(s) are displayed in the PowerSuites Power Explorer pane, under the Control System node and under the Battery node. For configuring the Battery Monitor specific settings such as its software alarm monitors for fuse monitoring and current sense inputs, symmetry measurementes inputs, etc open the Battery Monitors icon under the Battery node. Open the Battery Monitors icon under the Control System node to reas the status of the Battery Monitor.
