Cellwatch Frontier - Configuring Frontier Electrolyte Level Detectors (FEDs)

Cellwatch Frontier System Installation & User Manual

Configuring Frontier Electrolyte Level Detectors
(FEDs)
For new installations, all FED units will quickly flash their green LEDs upon initial power up. Only after
verifying that all FEDs are flashing green should the installer move onto configuration and calibration.
Refer to the section titled Installation: Frontier Electrolyte Level Detectors if FEDs are not flashing green.
Configuration: Battery Design
The battery configuration must be updated to include any new hardware that is added to the Frontier
system. The saved settings of the current battery configuration can be modified to easily add the
number of installed FEDs.
Steps for adding FEDs to an existing system (see Configuration Build Examples-Standard System
with FEDs section below for adding FEDs with a new configuration)
1. Select Battery Design from the Settings menu.
2. Select Edit Configuration.
3. Verify that all settings on the Hardware page look correct. Click Next.
4. For each string that contains FED units, scroll to the “Electrolyte Level Detectors (FEDs)” section
and select Change to add FEDs.
5. If there are FED units on every container in the string, then for “String coverage” select Full
string. If one or more containers in the string will not be actively monitored for electrolyte
levels, select Partial string. Choose No FEDs to remove FEDs from the string.
6. If Partial string is selected, enter the number of FEDs that will be monitoring electrolyte levels
on the string in the Number of FEDs field.
7. If each container in the string has multiple FED units attached, place this number in the FEDs per
channel field. This will automatically populate the Number of FEDs field if Entire string is
selected.
8. The Channel Map on this page will update to indicate which cells are monitored with FEDs.
Verify that the channel map looks correct. Click Apply changes to save FED settings.
9. Click the Next button, choose Keep historical data, enter the operator password ‘deafcat’, and
click Save.
