Launching the Charge Control Software

.
2. If your computer is connected to the Internet at this time, the program will check to see
whether a new version is available. If a new version is available, you will have the option to
install the new version or launch the version you already have.
3. After the program launches, and if your computer is connected to the Internet, the program
will check to see whether a new version of the charger firmware is available. If new firmware
is available, a message will appear; click
OK
to close the message window. See “Updating
charger firmware,” later in this manual, for instructions.
Connecting the charger to your computer
1. Plug the FUIM2’s 3-pin connector into the jack on the charger’s left side. The black wire
should be toward the bottom of the charger’s panel.
2. Plug the FUIM2’s USB connector into your computer.
3. If the Charge Control Software isn’t running, launch it now.
4. Watch the message line just below the program’s menu bar.
If “Waiting to Start” appears, everything is working properly and you are ready to use the
program.
If “Checking Com COMx for data” doesn’t go away, the program can’t communicate with
the charger. To correct this:
a. Click
Download USB Driver
at the bottom the Charge Control Software window.
b. Run the installer.
c. Restart your computer.
