Configuring CellPro PowerLabs for BUMP Control
The Bump Controller is designed to control legacy CellPro PowerLab series chargers (PowerLab6,
PowerLab8v2, and Dual PowerLab8x2) via the 3-wire data port interface.
The Bump Controller has four (4) data ports available for external chargers.
These data ports use Expansion Channel Mode (ECM) for control which uses unique addresses to
identify each device for communication and, by default, all CellPro PowerLab chargers will have the
ECM address set to zero which makes it the MASTER. In order to control the CellPro PowerLabs
externally, the ECM address must be changed to the address which matches the physical port number
of the Bump Controller data port to which it is connected.
To change the ECM Address of the CellPro PowerLab, perform the following steps:
1. Press INC+DEC to display the Options menu (Choose TASK?).
2. Press INC or DEC until you see Charger Options, then press ENTER.
3. In the Charger Address? screen, select EXPANSION CH. n , where ‘n’ is equal to the port
number where you will connect this CellPro PowerLab, then press ENTER.
4. Press and hold BACK to exit options.
NOTE: The Expansion Channel Address of the CellPro PowerLab
must match the physical port number to which it is attached.
