2.5. Sleep and Wake up
2.5.1. Sleep
When any of the following conditions is met, the battery enters the low-power mode:
1. Under voltage protection is not released within 30 seconds.
2. Press the reset button for 3 seconds and then release the button.
3. The lowest cell voltage is lower than the sleep voltage, and the duration reaches the
sleep delay time (while meeting the requirements of no communication, no protection, no
equilibrium, and no current).
4. Standby mode lasts for more than 24 hours (no communication, no charge and discharge, no
mains power, minimum cell is less than 3.2V).
5. Forced shutdown from the Z-Range ZRGP EmsTools.
Before entering sleep, make sure no charger is connected, otherwise it will not be able to enter
low-power mode.
2.5.2. Wake up
Whenthesystemisinthelow-powermodeandanyofthefollowingconditionsissatised,the
system will exit the low-power mode and enter the normal operation mode:
1. Connect the charger, and the output voltage of the charger must be greater than 48V.
2. Press the reset button for 3 seconds and release the button.
3. Connect the communication line and open the Z-Range ZRGP EmsTools (if enters sleep mode
due to over-release protection, and this method cannot wake up the battery).
4. Use the power software switch.
Note
• After battery over-discharge protection, it enters the low-power mode, wakes up at a regular time every 4 hours, and starts open switch to
charging or discharging. If it can be charged, it will exit the sleep mode and enter the normal charging state. If the auto wakes up fails to
charge for 10 consecutive times, it will no longer auto wake up. When the system is dened as the end of charging, and the recovery voltage
is still not reached after 2 days /48h standby time (standby time set value), it is forced to resume charging until the end of recharging.
2.6. Forced discharge mode
When the battery is in the sleep mode by undervoltage protect and the lowest cell is greater than
2.0V,rstclosethepowerswitch,andthenwaitfor2Sbeforeturningonthepowerswitch,and
the battery enters the forced discharge mode for 5 minutes. In the forced discharge mode, if
there is a charge, the battery will exit the forced discharge mode and switch to the normal mode.
If the discharge current exceeds 20A or there is no charge current within 5 minutes, the battery
will re-enter the sleep mode.
INTRODUCTION 11

2.7. Automatic parallel
With automatic parallel function, when the slave battery (address > 1) is powered on, the charge
and discharge switch is in disconnect state. When the voltage difference between the slave
battery and master battery is less than the condition of “the minimum voltage difference between
the slave and the master”, the master sends the command to the slave. After the slave receives
the command from the master, the charge and discharge switch will be connected, and the slave
is integrated into the master system to complete the parallel operation.
