Introduction: Welcome to the CT-4008Tn-5V12A-S1 Battery Charging and Discharging Test Equipment. This high-performance testing solution is specifically designed for a wide range of applications, including portable electronic devices, small charging home appliances, and portable medical devices. It features accurate voltage and current testing capabilities, ensuring the maximization of battery performance and the optimization of safety. This article will introduce how to connect multiple tester and a control uint, as well as to a computer, allowing you to quickly master the operation of this equipment to meet your battery testing needs.
Part 1: Hardware Connection
1. Start by going to the back of the equipment and connect the power cables for each tester unit one by one.
2. Then connect the network cable, daisy-chain each tester with the network cable, and connect the tester to the Control Unit with the network cable.
3. Then connect the Control Unit to the switch
Finally, connect the switch to the computer (if there is only one Control Unit, do not connect the switch, connect the Control Unit to the computer directly)
4. Insert the Aviation Plug Line into the corresponding channel connection ports for each unit.
Part 2: Configuration and Introduction of the Control Unit
Connect the power supply and turn on the device. The screens of the Control Unit and Tester will light up.
On the device's body, you can find the following information on the label: Control Unit Number, Control Unit IP, and Server IP.
The four buttons on the body from left to right are, in order, "Back," "Increase," "Decrease," and "Confirm."
The main menu on the Control Unit's display has two options: Channel Status (Item 1) and Configuration (Item 2).
1.Select the second option, "Configuration," and press Confirm to enter the submenu
2.The first item in the submenu, Device ID: 68, represents the Control Unit identifier.
The second item: Get IP Addr: MANUAL, represents the method for obtaining the IP address, which includes two modes: MANUAL and AUTO.
Item 3: MAC address refers to the physical address.
Item 4: "LP" is the Local IP, and it should be set according to the factory label.
Item 5: SM (Subnet Mask) is a fixed value.
Item 6: GW (Gateway) is set to 192.168.1.1; you don't need to change this.
Item 7: SP is the Server IP address, set to 192.168.1.250.
The Server IP address and the IP address used for the local connection on your computer (e.g., Ethernet on WIN10 and WIN11) must match.
Otherwise, you won't be able to connect to the computer.
Note: It is not recommended to configure a single network adapter with two IP addresses.
If you need to connect to a device while having internet access on your computer simultaneously, it's advisable to configure a wireless network adapter, use a USB-to-Ethernet adapter, or use a computer with dual network cards.
Part 3: Computer Configuration Requirements
Before installing BTS, please ensure that your computer meets the following requirements:
