    • NOTE: The antenna position on the smartphone depends on the model.
    • Please refer to the smartphone manufacturer manual.
  2. CONFIGURE BATTERY PARAMETERS
    • Use the first box to define which IBS is used.
    • For the IBS Sensor to correctly work the type of battery must be defined. Use the second box to choose this parameter.
    • Write the battery capacity in the last field of this section.
    • NOTE: The type of the battery and its capacity can be found printed on the battery’s housing.
  3. CONFIGURE THE LEVEL SENSOR (OPTIONAL) Check the Resistive Input Switch in order to configure the VL Flex according to your Level Sensor.
    • The first field is for defining, weather a Fuel Level Sensor or a Fresh Water Level Sensor is used.
    • In the second field you must choose the resistance values of the used sensor.
    • NOTE: The sensors resistor values depend on the Model. Please refer to the sensor manufacturer manual.
  4. SETUP THE ALARMS

  • the supported configurations may be updated at any time. Please make sure to always use the latest App version.

TIME FOR VALID SOC AND SOH

  • The values “State Of Charge” (SOC) and “State Of Health” (SOH) can only be considered valid after the sensor had a “quiescent” time of 3.5 hours after finishing the sensor installation.
  • Quiescent” time means that the current consumption of the whole vehicle electrical system must be between -100mA and 0mA for the whole recalibration time (3.5 hours).
  • If there is a discharge peak during this time (e.g. radio turned on, etc.) the time for SOC recalibration will be longer than 3.5 hours.
  • If there is an additional power on of the IBS sensor (e.g. IBS disconnected from the battery, or from the Link Up gateway) then the recalibration time of 3.5 hours starts again.

EXTERNAL CHARGING OF THE BATTERY

  • If the battery is charged by an external power supply, it is important that the connection of the external charger is done properly.
  • If the connection is performed incorrectly, the IBS will not be able to measure the charge current and it will not calculate the SOC correctly.
  • Please connect the positive clamp of the charger to the battery pole and the negative clamp of the charger device to the IBS ground connection (where the vehicle ground is connected), and not directly to the negative pole of the battery.
  • The charging current must flow through the IBS so it can correctly determine the charge balance.

DISPLAY LAYOUT

SCREEN CAROUSEL

  • There are four different display layouts which can be scrolled through by pressing the push button.
  • With every push the display changes to the next screen showing the next set of values.
  • After the last screen, the display will roll over to the first one.
