Installing a Hall Effect Sensor
3.4
1. Route the positive and negative battery string cables through the Hall effect sensor. The
positive and negative battery string cables must be routed in directions shown by arrows on the
Hall effect sensors. The positive battery string cable routes from the UPS to the battery, and the
negative battery string cable routes from the battery to the UPS.
2. Secure the Hall effect sensor to the positive and negative battery string cables using cable ties.
If the positive or negative battery string cable is too thick to be routed through the Hall effect
sensor, or the measurement range of the Hall effect sensor is insufficient, use multiple Hall effect
sensors to detect the current of one battery string. The CIM supports the sum of the monitoring
results of multiple Hall effect sensors, which is implemented by setting Multi-Hall cur. setting.

5Installing Cables (UPS Scenario)
This chapter uses the UPS scenario where the CIM power cable connects to an adapter, and the
CIM communications cable connects to the UPS as an example to describe how to connect cables.
If only the UPS is used, connect cables by following instructions in this section.
System Networking
5.1
Adapter

Connecting Cables
5.2
1. Connect the cable between the CIM and the Hall effect sensor.
•If each of the positive and negative battery string cables connects to one Hall effect sensor,
connect the Hall effect sensor on the positive battery string terminal side to the HALL_1 current
monitoring port on the CIM, and connect the Hall effect sensor on the negative battery string
terminal side to the HALL_2 current monitoring port on the CIM.
•If each of the positive and negative battery string cables connects to two or more Hall effect
sensors, connect the Hall effect sensors on the positive battery string terminal side to the former
HALL current monitoring ports, and the Hall effect sensors on the negative battery string terminal
side to the latter HALL current monitoring ports. For example, if each of the positive and negative
battery string cables connects to two Hall effect sensors, connect the Hall effect sensors on the
positive battery string terminal side to the HALL_1 and HALL_2 current monitoring ports on the
CIM, and connect the Hall effect sensors on the negative battery string terminal side to the
HALL_3 and HALL_4 current monitoring ports on the CIM.
When one CIM manages multiple battery strings, first connect the Hall effect sensors on the
positive and negative cables for battery string 1 to the corresponding ports on the CIM. Then
connect the Hall effect sensors on battery string 2 to the CIM in the same way, and so on.

CIM and BIM Networking
7.3
Before networking, ensure that all the CIMs and BIMs have no network parameters, that is, the
RF_Z indicator on the CIM is steady green and the RUN/ALM indicator on the BIM is steady red.
1. Press the CIM networking switch for 2 seconds. The ALM indicator blinks red once, and the
RF_Z indicator turns from steady green to blinking green at super short intervals, which
indicates that the CIM is being networked.
•If the RF_Z indicator on the CIM is not steady green, hold down the networking switch on the
CIM for 10–20 seconds to clear the original network.
•If the RUN/ALM indicator on the BIM is not steady red, hold down the BIM networking switch for
at least 5 seconds to clear the original network.
•To prevent the BIM in a different group connecting to another CIM, ensure that only one CIM is
under networking at a time. That is, only the RF_Z of this CIM is blinking at super short intervals.
•Do not operate the networking switch during networking. Otherwise, the networking fails.
System Settings Description
Time Set the local time zone, date, and time.
IP Address Set the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of the iBOX. Set
