1. General information

1. General information

The TagID is an electronic product that is mounted on lead-based traction batteries. The TagID enables digital identification, parameterization, and monitoring of the battery used in Fronius battery chargers.

The Fronius battery charger, which connects to the TagID, uses the parameters and measured values to adjust the charge of the battery charger.

The TagID is designed for traction batteries and has a temperature sensor.
In addition to the temperature sensor, the TagID+ is equipped with a level sensor to detect and indicate a low electrolyte level.

1. General information

1. Installation

1. Installation

Danger of damage to electrical components from electrical discharge. Suitable measures should be taken to protect against ESD when replacing and installing components.

1. Installation

Wear appropriate protective equipment and use insulated tools when replacing and installing components.

1. Installation

1

Carry out work such as making the solder contacts outside the hazardous area (charging area).

2

Disconnect the negative pole from the battery and make sure that it does not make contact with ground.

3

Loosen the strain-relief device, insert the auxiliary contacts according to the illustration, and use the shorting bar with the pilot contacts. Then reattach the strain-relief device.

4

Position the CAN cable as shown and fix it on the connector side with a cable tie. Form a loop on the device side and fit a spiral hose.

5

CAUTION!

Remove the transport protection of the pins before assembly. Subsequently, there is a risk of stabbing on the pins.

Place the TagID on the charging cable, keeping the loop for strain relief, and tighten diagonally with 4x TX20 screws (1 Nm).

Tightening torque = 2 Nm

WARNING!

When repairing or removing the TagID, make sure that the insulation of the charging cable is intact.
If necessary, re-insulate any holes that have formed.

6

Attach the negative pole to the battery according to the manufacturer's instructions.

7

Make a loop for strain relief with the sensor cable and attach the spiral hose as shown.

Neatly route and bundle the sensor cable with the remaining cable ties.

8

Insert temperature sensor in the center of the battery.

1. Installation

WARNING!

Danger of short circuit if a depth stop is not used during drilling.

Keep the hole to 10 - 15 mm by fitting a depth stop.

Drill the hole at cell 7 using a depth stop and 8 mm drill bit.

2

Place the level sensor dummy in the drilled hole and take measurements.

3

Transfer dimension from level sensor dummy to level sensor.
Subtract 8 mm from the dimension and cut off with diagonal cutting pliers.

4

Insert the level sensor and ensure that it is flush with the cell.

1. Configurations

1

Download and install the TagID Config App.

2

Activate the NFC function on the smartphone.
To read a TagID, press "Scan" and place your smartphone on the NFC icon of the TagID to establish a connection.

NOTE!

The internal positioning of the NFC chip is different for every smartphone and must therefore be localized via movement.

3

For a TagID that has not yet been configured, configuration is started with the first of 8 steps after scanning.
You will be guided through the individual steps in the app.

4

Taking a photo of the battery and the battery's nameplate links it to the TagID in the system.

In "Notes", you can add free text, e.g., add the charging station assignment.

5

Once configuration is complete, the data are displayed once again in a summarized form.
The NFC transfer is started with the "Transfer to TagID now" button – it is necessary to place the smartphone on the NFC icon of the TagID again.

NOTE!

Transfer can take up to 5 seconds.
Only after confirmation of success are the data transferred to the TagID.

6

If the transfer was successful and no TagID status messages were detected, the TagID Config App home screen opens again.

7

If a pending status message is indicated on the TagID by means of the yellow or red LED, this can be read out at any time using the TagID Config App.
