Downloading and installing the Enerdrive ePRO App
The Enerdrive ePRO App can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google
Play.
Running the Enerdrive ePRO App
After launching the app the splash screen will be shown shortly, followed by
the Device List (see image on right). Android may ask to allow Enerdrive ePRO
to access the device’s location. This is OS Specific and unfortunately can not
be omitted. The Enerdrive ePRO will not broadcast or store any location or
user-specific data.
Note: Android Devices ePRO App has been tested on a wide range of Android devices. However, due to the immense variety of hardware platforms running Android and the less-than-optimal software support by some Android device vendors, Enerdrive cannot guarantee correct functionality on any existing Android device. Click on the ‘Add Device’ button at the bottom of the screen to search for nearby Enerdrive devices. When a device is found, it will be shown on the ‘Add Device’ screen. Each device has a unique name indicated by ‘XX: XX’. This name is also printed on the Bluetooth interface box. Click on the device button to establish a connection. A dialog box will follow, asking to start the pairing process.
For Android, the screen jumps to the main Bluetooth devices list. From this
list, you need to select the desired Enerdrive device. After selecting the
desired device, Android will ask for a 6-digit passkey. This passkey is also
printed on the Bluetooth box. After entering the passkey, the device has been
paired. Now jump back to the Enerdrive ePRO app press the desired device
button again and confirm that you would like to add the device. The Device
List will look like the image on the right. For iOS (Apple), after a found
device is selected in the ‘Add Device’ screen, the app will directly ask for
the 6-digit passkey that is printed on the Bluetooth box. After this code has
been entered, the device is paired and added to the ‘Device List’ screen as
shown in the image on the right.
Now press the device button to start communicating with the device. It will
connect automatically and when the left side status bar turns green, the app
automatically jumps to the main screen (see image on the right).
In this example where the Bluetooth box is connected to an ePRO Plus Battery Monitor, the main screen shows all the basic information of the battery. More information can be recalled by pressing the ‘Show More’ area (see ‘1’). The setup icon (see ‘2’) can be pressed to enter the ‘Settings’ screen. In this screen you can read out the device status and the history data, setup the device, reset the device, lock or unlock the the setup and reset menu, manually synchronize the ePRO plus with your battery and rename your device. Using the app is relatively self explanatory and for most setup parameters additional explanations are given on each screen. Nevertheless, it is strongly advised that the installer is aware of the technical aspects of the connected device. Please consult the owner’s manual of the device for this.
