QUICK START
CellLog Power On
(2 ways: one is connecting the battery through the left 9 Pin socket, the other one is through the USB port),
System self-check, and then shows the SN and version number, the display information are as below:
The first line is the current selected Setting Type (See
detail in P10).
Note: CellLog 8M has no Logging function, if it is necessary,
please choose CellLog 8S.
Voltage Monitor
There are 4 interface choices, which can be shifted by <▲> or <▼>buttons.
As the left pictures: the ‘7‘in ‖7S‖means cell counts; ‘6H‘
means the 6th cell voltage is the highest; ‘1L‘means the 1st
cell voltage is the lowest.
If the monitor voltage trigger alarm, the corresponding
voltage and alarm display (LOW, OVER or DIFF) shows
alternatively.
The cell number and (L, O, D) shows alternatively.
‘LOW‘or ‗L‘means: Low voltage alarm
‘OVER‘or ‗O‘means: Over voltage alarm
‘DIFF‘or ‗D‘means: Voltage difference alarm. They will be
displayed at the same time at the highest and the lowest
cell voltage interface.
Monitor the pack voltage
Display respectively: Current pack voltage, Max. Pack
voltage, Min. Pack voltage, Pack voltage difference. (▣P =
HV-LV)
Data Holding
When in Voltage Monitor status, press <▼> button for 3 seconds, after it shows ‖Start holding…‖, the
calculagraph will be shown alternatively at the upper right corner of the LCD screen.
Press <▼> for 3 seconds again, the screen will show ‖Stop holding!‖ and then exit.
View holding Point
In the monitor status, press <▲> and <▼> at the same time to enter the view logging point status.
Three points voltage data can be searched:‖Starting holding…‖data, ‖Stop holding!‖ data, and the data of
voltage alarm during this period , which can be shifted by <> buttons. Press <> for 3 seconds，it will return
to the monitor status.
The saved data can be covered till next logging.
If the logging time is over the users setting safety time,（See Monitor Safety Time Setting in P11）, it will
trigger Safety Time Alarm, and the screen shows ‖T_OVER‖alternatively in the upper right corner.

【User Setting】: See details in P13
User Calibration
The CellLog 8M has been calibrated before entering to the markets, but if the users find that there is too
much deviation, and then they can calibrate it as the following items:
Before calibration, you need prepare:
8s battery pack (the individual voltage ranges from 3.8-4.2V)
41
2Digital Multimeter
Calibrating steps:
1. Connect pack balance port to CellLog 8M to confirm there are 8 cell voltage display.
2. Press <MENU> for 3 seconds to enter Main Menu--【Calibration】-> CALIBRATION--【User Setting】,then
it shows:
,
3. The current need-to-be calibrated voltage begins to blink（shows the voltage and calibrated value
alternatively）, and use multimeter to measure the individual voltage corresponding to the blinking voltage. If
the displayed value is more than the measured value, please press <▼> to decrease the displayed value to
the measured value; vice versa, please press <▲> to increase the displayed value to the measured value.
Press <> and shift to the next voltage calibration. In this way to get 8 sets voltage calibration.
4. Press <▲> and <▼> for 3 seconds to save the amendment and exit; Press <> for 3 seconds, it will
cancel the amendment and exit.
5. The above is only for 8S individual cell measurement calibration, the methods are same for CellLog 8M
measure port 1, 2 to measure pack voltage calibration.
Connect 1, 2 to the battery pack‘s negative and positive pole respectively, then follow the Step 2, 3, 4.
Note:
If the user calibrates it in a wrong way, which damage the battery or cause other serious danger, our company will
be of no responsibility.
The users’calibrated value will not affect the calibrated before entering to the market. It can be selected by
CALIBRATION--【User Setting】or【Default】.
