IBEX User Manual Part 4

7.2.3 Storage Select

Used for selecting whether to carry out automatic measuring and recording or manual measurement and recording.

1) Automatic/manual stationary battery measurement methods are described in 23p~25p so it would not be repeated here.

2) Use the <◀ , ▶ > buttons to move the arrow to locate the mode to be changed, then select by pressing the <ENT> button. (Figure_31)

3) The arrow displayed in a inverse image, the AUTO/MANU ICON on the upper icon status bar varies according to the selected mode.

4) When the mode change is completed, press the <ESC> key to move to the upper menu or press the <MENU> key to exit to the measuring mode.

7.2.4 SELECT NORMAL / FINE

Used for selecting whether to measure battery by Fine mode or Normal mode that is less fine and faster than Fine mode.

1) Use < ◀ , ▶ > buttons to move the arrow to locate the mode to be changed, then select by pressing the <ENT> button. (Figure_32)

2) NORMAL MEASURING : Measuring speed gets faster, but density gets lower.

(3 Sec.) 3) FINE MEASURUNG: Measuring precision gets higher compared to NORMAL MEASUREING, but measuring speed gets more slow. (8 Sec.)

4) AUTO MEASURING: Automatically select the NORMAL or FINE Measuring mode by battery capacity.

5) When the arrow (▼) shows, it is successfully set up to be modified.

6) When the mode change is completed, press the <ESC> key to move to the upper menu or press the <MENU> key to exit to the measuring mode.

7.2.5 ALARM SETTING

By setting up basic impedance, voltage, temperature value of the stationary battery to be measured, it can immediately display its status such as normal, warning, and fail on the LED when used stationary battery is measured. When storing the measured values, it will also store ALARM status thereby informing which cell cause an alarm after completing measurement. (Figure_33) – 4 alarms can be set up. It shows the current alarm setup on the ALARM NOW VIEW menu.

1) OPEN FILE

This function is used in entering, modifying, selecting the stationary battery’s basic values and enables four basic values to be set. After setting the basic value, press the <SAVE> button to select. Then the stationary battery status will be displayed in accordance with the current basic value of the alarm. If you are to measure other stationary battery with different capacity, modify and select Alarm File to fit the stationary battery to be measured then you can get the right measurement suitable for changed basic values. 1

] Use the <◀, ▶ > button to select the OPEN FILE ICON then press the <ENT> button to move on to the lower menu..

2] 4 ALARM SETTING FILEs will be displayed. (Figure_34)

3] At the default mode, the 4 files’ values are set up at random.

4] Select the file to be modified by using the <▲ , ▼> buttons then press <ENT> button to move on to the ALARM SETTING. (Figure_35)

5] Use the <▲, ▼> buttons to move to the setting values to be modified. Then modify setting values by pressing < ▶ > button to increase the number or press the < ◀ > button to decrease the number. 6

] In case of the Impedance value, you can modify it in 10 m unit by pressing the <◀, ▶ > buttons while holding down the<ENT> button.

7] After modifying the SETTING values, press the <SAVE> button to store the whole values in the memory and select them as the current alarm value. Press the <ENT> or <ESC> key to move on to the upper menu.

8] If you want to select the pre-determined alarm value without making any modification, select 4 files by moving the <▲> or <▼> button then press the <SAVE> button to select the current alarm value.

2) ALARM NOW VIEW

Shows the currently selected alarm values.

1] When various kinds of stationary batteries are tested, the alarm value shall be setup differently. So the user should be able to see what the current alarm value is.

2] Only shows the current alarm values and is unable to input/modify. The device is set up as it is shown (Figure_36)

7.2.6 BATTERY INFORMATION

Used for entering or correcting stationary battery BANK data. (DATE, Model, Maker, Capacity, etc.) You can also receive the bank data from a separate PC monitor program (EXMONS PRO 2005). a) You can also use this function to record and store the data such as data, model, capacity, etc. at the time of measurement for individual banks or to receive data from the PC.

b) It is possible to setup/manage banks and cells as shown below:

c) After selecting a bank to be measured, input and correct the information then press the <SAVE> button to store. Press the <MENU>button to see the details of the measuring screen, you will find the Bank-representing icon is marked as a selected bank on the upper icon bar in the BATT.INFO menu.

d) If you measure a BATTERY, it will begin with the selected bank and increase the cell values as you proceed.

e) To facilitate the data input, you can prepare the data in PC and transmit it to the tester.

1) BANK INFORMATION

Used for entering and correcting BANK data.

1] If you select the BANK INFO. ICON, the screen will display the previously selected list of banks.

2] Use the <▲ , ▼> direction keys to move the cursor to the bank to be selected, then press the <ENT>button. (Figure_38)

3] It is displayed in an order of bank NAME, DATA, PLACE , etc (Figure_39)

4] Change the name of banks to recognize easily then enter the necessary informationsuch as date, place, maker, model, capacity, voltage, and others.

5] As the character input/modify method has been explained in the first chapter, it is skipped here.

6] When input/modification is completed, press the <ESC> key to move on to the upper menu or press the <MENU> key to exit to the measuring mode.

2) RECEIVE BANK INFO

RECEIVE BANK INFO function is only applicable to the EXMONS programs. Used for receiving bank data from a PC.

1] If you select the RECEIVE BANK INFO. ICON, the device enters the stand-by mode with a description of [WAIT FOR COMMAND] on the lower part. (Figure_40)

2] After entering into the stand-by mode, connect the USB cable to a computer and tester. Run the EXMONS monitor program and click the SEND COMMAND button.

3] As shown in the Figure _41), the data will be transmitted to the PC while the device is displaying the status bar.

4] After completing data transition, the device will enter the stand-by mode with a description of [READY TO RECEIVE] at the bottom. (Figure_42)

5] As for how to use EXMONS monitor program constitutes a separate manual, it will not be dealt with here.

6] After entering bank data and alarm values in the EXMONS monitor program, click the data transmission button. Then the IBEX will automatically receive data and show the status bar. When data transmission is completed, it will exit to the upper menu with a brief beep sound. (Figure_43)

7] To confirm whether or not bank data has been received, enter the BANK INFORMATION menu.

3) BANK CHANGE

Used for re-defining banks or cells.

1] If you select the BANK CHANGE ICON, the screen will display the number of currently set bank sand cells.(Figure_44).

2] Use the <◀, ▶> direction keys to select the number of banks and cells to be selected.

3] If you press the <ENT>button, a warning statement saying [TO RE-SIZE BANK, ALL DATA DELETED?] and a sentence, [YES : ENTER , NO : ESC ], will pop up(Figure_45)

4] If you press the <ENT>button, it will display a warning statement [SURE TO RESIZE BANK?] with a sentence, [YES : ENTER , NO : ESC ]. (Figure_46) Press the <ESC> button to exit from BANK RE_SIZING menu and return to BANK INFORMATION menu. (Figure_38)

5] If you press the <ENT>button, it will display a warning statement [SURE TO RESIZE BANK?] with a sentence, [YES : ENTER , NO : ESC ]. (Figure_47) Press the <ESC> button to exit from BANK RE_SIZING menu and return to BANK INFORMATION menu. (Figure_38)
