results, and for that the Module needs to be calibrated. But before that please check the following:
•
Firstly, double check the value with accurate meter (we suggest Fluke multimeter), if the deviation
between the Module and multimeter is less than ±0.5% it is acceptable.
•
Secondly if the deviation is more than ±0.5%, the Module needs calibration. Please consult with your
Reseller for calibration.
Q. What could happen when connecting different model of Sirius Module parallel/series together?
A. Modules can be connected in parallel or in series if they will have:
- Same Voltage
- Same Capacity
It is possible but not recommended especially connecting old BMS design to the new one. The system might
get unpredictable during extreme scenarios like Module charge full or low.
Q. Is it possible to connect Sirius Module in parallel with other chemical batteries such as lithium-ion or lead
acid?
A. It is possible but not recommended. Make sure the total voltage of each battery is the same as the Module
and the charging voltage does not exceed the Module’s maximum voltage. The possible drawback is that you
will not get the total capacity of the chemical battery because extreme voltages are not the same.
Q. If we set the cutoff voltage on the charge controller systems /inverter end to 45V, will that allow the
Module to sit at idle for longer periods of time to avoid an undervoltage situation.
A. Yes.
Q. How to check charging/discharging energy of Module?
A. Please refer to “Overview of SiriusVIEW Application” section in
SiriusVIEW application manual.
Q. Why the Module needs twice of power cycle?
A. When the Module is switched OFF and the SiriusVIEW is still open you have to wait for 10 Sec (since the
application is still communicating with the Module) before turning ON the Module, or either by terminating
the SiriusVIEW or by disconnecting the communication cable.
Q. How much is the capacity of the internal storage (SD Card)?
A. 8GB SD Card is used in the Module which logs 85 bytes of data per 10 seconds. Note that data logging should
be turned ON before the Module will start logging and data logging is limited to 30 days. After reading the
data the Module will delete it automatically. By default, data logging is OFF for firmware version 2. 0 and
above.
Q. Do I need to use SiriusVIEW Software?
A. The Module can work stand-alone without the software however, the software can be used to monitor and
extract the data & measurement as well as to enhance the performance of the Module.
Q. How do I know if there is firmware issue in the Module?
A. Please refer to SiriusVIEW monitoring software manual Configuration of Module and Software section.
Q. What kind of issues can happen about firewall and antivirus programs?
A. There will be no problem as far as the software run as administrator.
Q. How to calibrate Module parameters?
A. To calibrate Module parameter like (Voltage, Current, Temperature, Energy). Kindly consult with your
Reseller for calibration procedure.
Q. What is the reason if the LED isn’t working at all?
