Before you get started make sure you have the following:
Project’s Wiring diagram - Provided by Galooli Support
CE Transducer CE42 MeterBattery Cell Monitoring Kit:
Battery Cell Monitoring HUB
Battery Cell Monitoring Sensor (2/12 V)
Battery Cell Monitoring Hall Sensor
There are different adapters and cables included in the Battery Cell Monitoring Kit
Elara gateway
Power source to the Elara gateway of 12V
Power cables for the Elara gateway - two cables with a thickness of 0.5mm. The length of the cables is determined by the distance between the power source and the Elara gateway
Lead acid batteries
The power source of +12V DC to power the Galooli RTU (Elara)Electrical wires24VDC or 48VDC to power the Battery Cell Monitoring HUB
Communication cables. Cables with a thickness of 0.5mm. The length of the cables is determined by the distance between the sensors and the surrounding environment
Ethernet wire
Electronic tools – screwdriver, Multimetermultimeter, & f-crimp tool
RS485 To USB Converter & two 0.5mm thick communication cables. The length of the cables is determined by the distance between the RS485 to the USB converter and the computer
Additional information:
The device is Battery Cell Monitoring HUB and the Elara are designed to be installed on a din rail
Make sure that you have sufficient space for its mounting
We recommend mounting the AC meter next to phase breakers - this act can simplify the process of disconnecting the cables from the breakers, passing the load cables through the meter, and then connecting them back to the breakers
