1. Setting Up The UBA
●
Unpack the UBA shipping box and check that you’ve received the following:
●
The UBA battery analyzer, charger, and conditioner.
●
Vencon UBA Console CD, which contains the software for the UBA.
●
A 2 metre 9 pin male to female shielded serial cable.
●
Two sets of test leads with alligator clips.
●
A printed copy of this guide.
●
A power supply (if you purchased a UBA Combo).
What you need to get started (in addition to the above):
●
A power supply (included with the UBA Combo).
●
A PC with a free serial port or a USB port and a USB to serial converter.
1.1. Connecting the UBA to a Power Supply
The UBA requires a power supply with a DC voltage from 15 to 24V (see section 5.1 “Choosing and Setting Up a
Power Supply” for more information). Connect the power supply output cable to the back of the UBA and plug the
power supply’s AC cable into a wall outlet. The battery red LEDs will flash once, the fan will spin a couple of times and
the power LED will turn on. If this doesn’t happen then check the voltage on the power cable: it should be at least 15V
with the centre pin positive.
If you use your own power supply ensure that it has a 2.1mm DC barrel plug that mates with the power input on the
back of the UBA. The UBA is reverse voltage protected, if you reverse wire the DC supply cable no damage will result,
but the UBA won't turn on. Also ensure that the power supply voltage is no more than 25V no-load, otherwise you risk
damaging the UBA.
