Various data can be stored on a USB data carrier or imported from a USB data carrier to the unit's control system. With this function, data can be transferred from one unit to another. In the event of a fault, analysis data can be read out on a USB data carrier for fault diagnosis and sent to your HB-Therm distributor (www.hb-therm.com). The analysis data can also be delivered via the e-cockpit app with the “sending analysis data” function (→ e-cockpit functions).

NOTE!

  • USB data carriers formatted with FAT, FAT32, exFAT and ext2/3/4 are supported.
  • A connected and recognized USB data carrier is displayed on the basic screen with the data carrier symbol ().
  • During data transfer, the disk symbol () on the basic screen flashes yellow.
  • When saving the parameterdata, the set user profile is saved.

Save and load data

  1. Close the USB drive.

  2. On the home basic screen, tap the main menu button ().

  3. Select [Save/Load].

  4. Select the data you want to back up or the data you want to load.

  5. Tap the disk symbol (, ) to start the process.
    → The Explorer window from the USB drive appears on the screen.

  6. Select the desired directory.
    → The data is written to the USB data carrier as a CSV file. The information system is opened automatically and the current progress is displayed (→ Fig.).
    → When charging, the data is transferred to the unit's control system. If the transferred values are outside the allowed range, they are reset to the default value.

Name of data

The file names on the USB drive are created automatically according to the following examples. The date and time information corresponds to the time of export. A suffix [n] is automatically added if the file name already exists.

Analysis data

The analysis data contains all information relevant to customer service that is required for targeted failure analysis. In the event of an error, it is recommended to save the analysis data and send it to customer service.
