6.11 Running System Dark
In order to quantify the benefits of the iBOS
®
System, it is suggested that you begin with a benchmark
period of two weeks where the system “runs dark.” This means that the system is gathering information but
there is no battery selection guidance provided. This way you can tell what is
really
happening in your
battery room, so you can compare the raw data with the improved performance once the system is giving
commands.
Here’s how to set the unit for benchmark mode:
Unplug power to the Scrolling Display(s)
and/or the wireless modem.
Unplug power to the Wireless Display on
the on the control box.
Turn off the blue LED “pick” lights:
Using the settings screen on the Control
Box, scroll down to the second page and
select “Pick Light.” Turn the blue pick
lights off.
Disable all sound:
Open the Control Box door and unplug
the green power socket on the inside of
the door.
When you are ready to go live with the system, simply reverse the above steps.
