The Cellpro 10s Charge Control Software enables you to define presets, save and load groups of

presets, update the charger’s firmware, and control various aspects of the charger’s options.

Installing the Charge Control Software

For detailed information on installing the Cellpro 10s Charge Control Software, please visit the

install page at

Launching the Charge Control Software

.

2. If your computer is connected to the Internet at this time, the program will check to see

whether a new version is available. If a new version is available, you will have the option to

install the new version or launch the version you already have.

3. After the program launches, and if your computer is connected to the Internet, the program

will check to see whether a new version of the charger firmware is available. If new firmware

is available, a message will appear; click OK to close the message window. See “Updating

charger firmware,” later in this manual, for instructions.

Connecting the charger to your computer

1. Plug the FUIM2’s 3-pin connector into the jack on the charger’s left side. The black wire

should be toward the bottom of the charger’s panel.

2. Plug the FUIM2’s USB connector into your computer.
3. If the Charge Control Software isn’t running, launch it now.
4. Watch the message line just below the program’s menu bar.

If “Waiting to Start” appears, everything is working properly and you are ready to use the

program.

If “Checking Com COMx for data” doesn’t go away, the program can’t communicate with

the charger. To correct this:

a. Click Download USB Driver at the bottom the Charge Control Software window.

b. Run the installer.

c. Restart your computer.
