Special features
Small size with multiple functions, backlight 128*64 lattices LCD and Buzzer Tone Reminder; the
interface can be operated smoothly.
CellLog 8S can not only measure 2-8S Li battery individual voltage, but also measure NiMH, NiCd, Pb
battery pack voltage.
It can be set Individual Voltage Alarm and Pack Voltage Alarm, Overvoltage Alarm, Low Voltage Alarm,
Differential Voltage Alarm and Time Over Alarm. Whats more, the extra alarm output can be linkage
controlled by the users.
It has 8 sets default monitor alarm settings, which can be selected for different battery packs.
CellLog 8S has been 100% calibrated before it enters to the market, at the same time, it supports the
calibration by users themselves.
The logging interval can be set by users different needs. CellLog 8S has a 16Mbit flash storage, which
can log offline data in 43 hours @2 seconds logging interval.
Support upgrading the hardware program by USB port. The CellLog 8S also supports the logview
software and can display, plot and analyze the charge and discharge data by it. (See detail information
about logview in the following website: http://www.logview.info)

Data Logging
When in Voltage Monitor status, press <> button for 3 seconds, after it shows Start logging, the
calculagraph will be shown alternatively at the upper right corner of the LCD screen. In this status, the system
will transmit the voltage data to USB port every X seconds( this interval time X can be set by user himself,
details you can see Record Interal Time Setting in P13), and save these data to the current Log fileSee
Log File Management in P12. If Logs OFF, the system will not log file
Press <> for 3 seconds again, the screen will show Stop logging! and then exit.
View Logging Point
In the monitor status, press <> and <> at the same time to enter the view logging point status.
Three points voltage data can be searched:Starting loggingdata, Stop logging! data, and the data of
voltage alarm during this period , which can be shifted by < > buttons. Press < > for 3 secondsit will return
to the monitor status.
The saved data can be covered till next logging.
If the logging time is over the users setting safety time,See Monitor Safety Time Setting in P11, it will
trigger Safety Time Alarm, and the screen shows T_OVER alternatively in the upper right corner.

User Calibration
The CellLog 8S has been calibrated before entering to the markets, but if the users find that there is too
much deviation, and then they can calibrate it as the following items:
Before calibration, you need prepare:
8s battery pack (the individual voltage ranges from 3.8-4.2V)
1
Digital Multimeter
2
Calibrating steps:
1. Connect pack balance port to CellLog 8S to confirm there are 8 cell voltage display.
2. Press <MENU> for 3 seconds to enter Main Menu--Calibration-> CALIBRATION--User Setting,then
it shows:
14.012V
34.018V
54.022V
74.002V
24.032V
44.015V
64.017V
84.019V
3. The current need-to-be calibrated voltage begins to blinkshows the voltage and calibrated value
alternatively, and use multimeter to measure the individual voltage corresponding to the blinking voltage. If
the displayed value is more than the measured value, please press <> to decrease the displayed value to
the measured value; vice versa, please press <> to increase the displayed value to the measured value.
Press < > and shift to the next voltage calibration. In this way to get 8 sets voltage calibration.
4. Press <> and <> for 3 seconds to save the amendment and exit; Press < > for 3 seconds, it will
cancel the amendment and exit.
5. The above is only for 8S individual cell measurement calibration, the methods are same for CellLog 8S
measure port 1, 2 to measure pack voltage calibration.
Connect 1, 2 to the battery packs negative and positive pole respectively, then follow the Step 2, 3, 4.

Note:
If the user calibrates it in a wrong way, which damage the battery or cause other serious danger, our company will
be of no responsibility.
The users calibrated value will not affect the calibrated before entering to the market. It can be selected by
