iBOX
(1) Networking switch
(2) ALM indicator
(3) RF_Z indicator
Step 2
Hold down the iBAT networking switch for 2 seconds. When the RUN/ALM indicator turns
from steady red to blinking green at short intervals, and finally to blinking green at long
intervals, the iBAT connects to the iBOX network.
It is recommended that iBATs be networked from the positive battery string terminal according to
the battery cable connection sequence.
The sequence of connecting the iBAT to the iBOX determines the battery number.
Step 3
Perform networking operations on the next iBAT only after networking for the previous iBAT
is successful. Repeat
to add other iBATs to the iBOX network.
Step 4
Hold down the networking switch on the iBOX for 2 seconds. When the RF_Z indicator on
the iBOX turns from blinking green at super short intervals to blinking green at long intervals,
the networking is complete.
After the networking is complete, if the ALM indicator on the iBOX is steady on, the number of devices
online is smaller than the value of
iBAT number of iBOX
. Check that
iBAT number of iBOX
is set to
a correct value and that the iBATs are successfully networked (The RUN/ALM indicator is blinking
green at long intervals.).
Step 5
(Optional) If multiple iBOXs are cascaded, repeat
other iBOXs and iBATs.

5.5.2 Parallel Networking
Prerequisites
Before networking, ensure that all the iBOXs and iBATs have no network parameters, that is,
the RF_Z indicator on the iBOX is steady green and the RUN/ALM indicator on the iBAT is
steady red.
