EC-Series Analyzer
The EC-Series Analyzer is a multi-frequency impedance tester for
battery monitoring (Any chemistry ranging from 5Ah to 2000Ah up to
18V. The battery should be fully charged for reliable diagnosis).
The EC-Series Analyzer operates in two test modes:
String Test Use for battery monitoring.
Quick Test To quickly assess battery conditions without data
tracking.
The EC-Series Analyzer comes with an Autobaseline Feature that
removes the need for the user to determine baseline values. It also
corrects impedance with temperature.
Based on the customizable configuration, the EC-Series Analyzer
reports:
Single frequency impedance.
Battery voltage.
Battery Chemical Properties (CELScan).
The EC-Series Analyzer interfaces with IBMS (Intelligent Battery
Management System) for transferring configurations and test results
and performing firmware update.

IBMS
IBMS is the companion software of the EC-Series Analyzers for creating
Configurations, reviewing Test Results and performing firmware upgrade.
IBMS is based on interacting with a Nexus Database Server for data logging.
IBMS can run as a standalone application or as an enterprise solution with a
common database shared between multiple IBMS installations.
IBMS can be downloaded free of charge from GEI webstore at:
http://www.globalei.com/bms/software-firmware/ibms-companion-software-free-download.html.

Test Mode
Quick Test / String Test

Quick Test is used for making measurement on the fly without keeping track
of the results. Basic test (Impedance or Voltage measurement) can be done
but more elaborated test can be developed.
String Test is used for Battery Monitoring where the test results are tracked.
A string test requires first a string configuration.

Templates
3 Templates Types can be created and be used when setting up Test Configurations:
Alarm Settings,

Battery Type.
Use of Templates is optional but greatly facilitate setting up
Test Configuration.

Page 34

XA000.600.500-EN Rev 1.0.3

String Test
To test a String, a String Configuration needs
to be created first. This creates the last data
identifying component (String).
String Tests are performed according to a
String Configuration and the corresponding
String Test Results can reviewed in the ECSeries Analyzer or transferred to IBMS.

String Configuration 1/2


String Configurations are created in the Test Configuration Templates Sections.
Select the Test Site where to create the String Configuration:

The String Configuration contains the necessary information for the Analyzer
to perform String Test and to save the corresponding Test Results in the
internal database.
Optional information such as battery manufacturing and installation dates can
be entered to improve battery management.
Page 36

XA000.600.500-EN Rev 1.0.3

String Configuration 2/2


Information needs to be entered in sub-sections of the String
Configuration.
These entries can be done manually or by using Templates.

Page 37

Confidential Distributor / Representative Only


XA000.600.500-EN Rev 1.0.3

Test String
String Test can only be performed on String associated to a String Configuration.
From the main Menu, select Test String and then navigate to select the String to be
tested.
At the Start Testing screen, enter the Test Temperature and start the Test Session by
pressing F2.

Use the Return function F1 to exit the test.


Individual Temperature can be entered (optional)
Specific gravity values can be entered in function of the
battery type (optional).

Page 38

Confidential Distributor / Representative Only


XA000.600.500-EN Rev 1.0.3

Autobaseline Function
The Analyzer comes with a dedicated algorithm for determining the Reference
Values associated to the String.
The Autobaseline algorithm determines the best batteries during the first string
test and generates the Impedance Reference and ACF for the String.
The baseline values are considered valid when the first string test is completed
(e.g. all batteries in the string being measured). Not completing the 1st string
test will prevent the user to see value and diagnosis associated to baseline
values (Sulfation/Dryout and % impedance).
Baselines can also be entered manually during the String Configuration
process or adjusted after test in IBMS.

String Test Results


Once String Tests are collected, the corresponding Test Results can be reviewed in
the Analyzers or in IBMS after transfer.
From the Main Menu, select Test Results and navigate to the Test to be reviewed.

The EC-Series Analyzer displays a summary of the


Results.
Select a Test Item to see more details.
You can scroll from one Test Item to another using the
up and down arrow.

Overview
IBMS allows to create Test Configuration for your EC-Series Analyzer and to
review collected Test Results with the comfort of a computer.
IBMS operation rests on interacting with a Database Server (Nexus) which log
all configurations and test results.
The database can be accessed over the network which allows IBMS to be used
as an Enterprise solution (e.g. one single database shared with multiple IBMS
installation).

Page 54

Confidential Distributor / Representative Only


XA000.600.500-EN Rev 1.0.3

Installation
IBMS installation is similar to any software installation on Windows.
At one point the software may ask you to select what to be installed:
IBMS
Nexus Server

If you are planning to use IBMS as a standalone installation (e.g. a


single computer), you will need to install both IBMS and the Nexus
Server.
If you are planning to use IBMS as an enterprise installation, you can
install only the Nexus Server on the Server Computer and IBMS on
the Satellite Computer.

Page 55

Confidential Distributor / Representative Only


XA000.600.500-EN Rev 1.0.3

Database Configuration
Standalone / Enterprise version
At the first start, IBMS will request to indicate where the Database server is located.
You can enter the server information manually.
You can use the Locate New Server(s) to scan the network for computer running the
Database server.
In a standalone installation, you will select your computer while for an Enterprise
installation, you will have to select the Server Computer (either by manual entry or via
the Server scan function)
