avoid damage to persons and to the battery charger:
• Read the installation instructions contained in this Manual carefully. For further information put the Manual in a proper place.
• Fix the Unit to a stable surface through the appropriate holes inserted on the fixing flanges.
• Ensure all ventilation ports are not obstructed, to avoid the overheating. Do not put the Unit near heat sources. Make sure that free
space around the Unit is sufficient to provide adequate ventilation and an easy access to cables sockets.
• Protect the Unit from ingress of water. Do not pour liquids and foreign objects inside the case.
• Verify that the available supply voltage corresponds to the voltage that is stated on the Unit name plate.
• For safety and electromagnetic compatibility, the Unit has a 3-prong plug as a safety feature, and it will only fit into an earthed outlet. If
you can not plug it in, chances are you have an older, non-earthed outlet; contact an electrician to have the outlet replaced. Do not use
an adapter to defeat the earthing.
• To avoid damaging the power cord, do not put anything on it or place it where it will be walked on. If the cord becomes damaged or
frayed, replace it immediately.
• Do not try to service the Unit yourself. Opening the cover may expose you to shocks or other hazards.
• If the Unit does not work correctly or if it has been damaged, unplugged it immediately from the supply socket and contact a retailer.

LED Indicator
Take Me Master Unit is provided with a LED Indicator on top of the plastic cover. This LED should be normally turned on red when the unit is
connected to the mains.

Take Me System - Overview

The Take Me System is a simple yet very effective way to properly manage a charging room, made of up to 20 Zivan CanBus battery
chargers. The Master Unit infact will track the charging process of all the chargers it is connected to, in order to determine which charge has
ended first and communicate it to the user who needs to pick up a battery in the charging room. In this way you will make sure that all your
battery fleet is regularly cycled, instead of having just a few over-cycled batteries.
To inform the user which battery is ready for being picked up, the Master Unit forces on the green BIG LED in the related charger. All the
chargers, when set to work for the Take Me System, will have the red BIG LED on. As soon as the battery is picked up, the Master Unit will
light on the green BIG LED of the charger who finished the charge second, and so on.

Take Me System – Installation

The correct installation of the Take Me System simply requires the connection between a single Master Unit to up to 20 Zivan CanBus
battery chargers, loaded with the firmware CB ver. ZN1.01 or higher.

To connect up to 10 chargers, use cable Z-C02917 following the below rules:

• Connect the connector “TAKE-ME” to the TAKE-ME control unit.

• Connect the last charger of the room network to the connector “CB10” by removing the gender changer
• Connect all other charges to connectors “CB1” - “CB9”, it is not necessary that all connector have to be used.
• Connector EXT is reserved for diagnostic.

To connect up to 20 chargers, use 2 cable Z-C02917 connected as below:

• Connect the connector “TAKE-ME” of the first cable to the TAKE-ME control unit.
• Connect the connector “TAKE-ME” of the second cable to the “CB10” connector of the first one.
• Connect the last charger of the room network to the connector “CB10” of the second cable by removing the gender changer
• Connect all other charges to connectors “CB1-CB9” of both cables and/or to EXT connector of the second cable. It is not
necessary that all connector have to be used.
• Connector EXT of the first cable is reserved for diagnostic.

Remember that the battery chargers needs to have Take Me option enabled to work properly, and that they have to be initialized with a can
node included in the 11-30 range. Obviously, all the charger nodes need to be different from each other. For further details, check the
manual of your chargers.
Finally, the Master Unit can be connected to an external device, like a remote alarm, through the auxiliary output. See the Auxiliary Contacts
paragraph below.
To achieve maximum performance from your Master Unit, it is strongly suggested to connect the Unit to an UPS (Uninterruptible Power
Supply).

Take Me System – Basic principles

The Master Unit tracks the charging process of all the battery chargers connected to the CanBus; as soon as a charger finishes the charging
process (that is, completing equalization) , the Master Unit will save that node in a First-In First-Out (FIFO) queue. The first charger in the
queue will have its green BIG LED turned on; all the other chargers will have the red BIG LED on. This is true as long as each charger have
the Take Me option enabled and the communication from the Master Unit is correctly working. If one of these conditions is not met, the
charger will light up the BIG LED accordingly to its original specification.

BATTERY DRAWING QUEUE:

Node 11: Charge Complete

Node 12: Charge Complete … Example 1:

NODE 15 The drawing queue is
Node 13: Charge Complete NODE 14 filled up by several
NODE 13 2 chargers completing
Node 14: Charge Complete their charge
NODE 12 1
Node 15: Charge Complete NODE 11 0

By drawing the correct battery, the drawing queue will be shifted down. Any charger that completes a charge will be placed on top of the
queue.
By drawing a battery which is not the one indicated by the Master Unit, the system will enter an alarm state (wrong battery drawing). This
means that, for 60 seconds, the buzzer of both the charger and the Master Unit will beep. Additionally, the Master Unit enables the Auxiliary
Output.
The Take Me System has been designed in order to be user-fault-tolerant. For this reason, if the wrongly taken battery is reconnected within
the 60 seconds limit, the alarm condition is cleared: the charger will resume the charge from the point it was interrupted and the Master Unit
will insert the charger node in the position it was occupying before the alarm, like shown in the image below. In this case, the system
completely recovers from the fault, just like it never happened.

NODE 13 NODE 14 NODE 13
NODE 12 NODE 13 NODE 12
NODE 11 NODE 11 NODE 11

60 seconds after the beginning of the alarm, the alarm automatically clears by itself: this means that when the battery will be reconnected it
won’t be re-inserted in its original position of the queue, as shown in Example 3; the battery charger will start a new charge from the
beginning and when the battery will be ready it will be placed on top of the queue.

NODE 12 NODE 13 NODE 13 NODE 13

Take Me System – Advanced concepts

Take Me System is able to withstand even more complicated wrong drawing situations. In the following example, a wrong battery drawing is
followed by a correct battery drawing, and then the wrong battery is reconnected within the 60 seconds limit.

Node 11: Battery disconnected

Node 12: Battery disconnected Battery connected

Queue: Example 4:
Two batteries are taken,
… … … … but the first drawing is
NODE 15 ... ... ... wrong.
NODE 14 NODE 15 ... NODE 15
NODE 13 NODE 14 NODE 15 NODE 14
NODE 12 NODE 13 NODE 14 NODE 13
NODE 11 NODE 11 NODE 13 NODE 12

Situations like these may occur when several operators are working in the same charging room: in this case, the reconnection of the wrongly
taken battery (node 12) will make the Master Unit insert that node in the correct place (before node 13) even though the queue has changed
in the meanwhile. Obviously, if the battery would have been reconnected after the 60 seconds limit, the alarm situation would have already
ceased and the battery would have been put in the last position of the queue.
Lastly, let’s consider a situation where two batteries are taken, and both drawings are wrong (both reconnection are within the 60 seconds
limit).

Node 12: Battery disconnected Battery connected

Node 13: Battery disconnected Battery connected Example 5:

Two batteries are
Queue:
taken, and both
drawings are wrong.
… … … … …
NODE 15 ... ... ... NODE 12
NODE 14 NODE 15 ... NODE 12 NODE 15
NODE 13 NODE 14 NODE 15 NODE 15 NODE 14
NODE 12 NODE 13 NODE 14 NODE 14 NODE 13
NODE 11 NODE 11 NODE 11 NODE 11 NODE 11

In this case, Master Unit will insert back to the correct position only the last wrongly taken battery. Please note that even though node 12 is
placed last after the reconnection, that charger will resume the charge from the point it was interrupt since the reconnection has taken place
within the 60 seconds limit.

Connecting to the Master Unit – Advanced Settings
As with other Zivan products, it is possible for the user to connect to the Master Unit with Zivan CanConsole. The connection requires using
an USB-to-CAN interface. Supported interface vendors are IXXAT, IFAK, PEAK.
To connect to the Master Unit, follow the standard procedure described in your CanConsole Manual, using Standard Protocol at 125 kbps.
The default node for the Master Unit is 10. This parameter is fixed and cannot be changed by user.
Once connected, the Parameter Menu will give you the access to the following parameters (Adjustments menu):
 Connection timeout: the Master Unit continuously checks the incoming messages from the battery chargers. If the Master Unit
does not receive any message from a given charger for a certain period of time, this charger will be removed from the drawing
queue. The connection timeout parameter determines the values of this period of time; default value is 30 seconds. Please
remember that, in case of a troublesome connection, the battery charger will show the alarm A02 and its BIG LED will light up
according to its original specification, just like the Take Me System option wasn’t enabled.
 Alarm filter: when a battery charger goes into an alarm state, the Master Unit will remove that node from the drawing queue.
This action can potentially trigger the Wrong Battery Drawing alarm (when the charger being removed is not the first in the
queue).If the alarm is triggered, the Master Unit will beep the buzzer and control the Auxiliary Output, which in its turn may be
connected to an external alarm. By turning the Alarm Filter parameter to ON (default value is OFF) the user can decide to allow
the Master Unit to remove any charger in alarm from the queue but not to trigger the Wrong Battery Drawing alarm in the
Master Unit.

Alarms (Two-tone audible message)

A two-tone audible message shows that an Alarm situation has occurred:

Error code Alarm Type Description (Action)

LOGIC FAILURE Voltage sag (charger restarts after 3 seconds. If the problem persists please contact customer
16

The Auxiliary Output provides a Normally Closed (NC) and a Normally Open (NO) contact to connect external devices to the Master Unit.
Since the Auxiliary Output is controlled only during the Wrong Battery Drawing alarm (NC opens and NO closes), it is suggested to connect a
remote alarm, which can be placed separately from the charging room.
