Firmware Revision
The initial firmware version of the Guardian is 1.0.
Please check https://fortresspower.com/firmware for release information.
The Guardian is new hardware, so be prepared to update Guardian firmware at each site visit until ~2024.
Overview
Introduction
The Guardian hub is a monitoring and controls device for your Fortress eFlex and eVault MAX battery products. It uploads your Fortress batteries' data to the cloud over Wi-Fi so that you can view key information on your battery system in the Guardian companion app such as charged percentage, time till full charge, voltage, current, and more. The companion app allows for a smoother tech support experience by featuring a chat widget where you can contact support directly. Additionally, the app automatically tracks your Fortress battery warranties once they are connected to the Guardian hub.

Commented [JC1]: What is the initial firmware version release?
Commented [LO2R1]: At this rate we don't even have a fully working beta release, so I would just put 1.0 for now and we can revise

Connecting the Guardian to the Battery CAN Network
Figure 1: Guardian Hub Connections

EFlex battery Access: Look for the CAN port on your eFlex battery. eFlex can choose J1 or J2 interface to connect with the CAN interface of the gateway. CAN 1 of eFlex is connected to CAN 1 of gateway seen in figure 1 as CAN1_L, CAN1_GND and CAN1_H. CAN 2 of eFlex docks to CAN 2 of gateway seen as CAN2_L, CAN2_GND and CAN2_H.

Commented [JC3]: @Liam O'Brien will the guardian communicate to fortress batteries over Can1 or Can2?

Getting Started
Connecting the Guardian to the Internet
The guardian connects via customer Wi-Fi or hardwired ethernet during commissioning. A cell phone app is used (with Bluetooth) to set up Wifi. Please visit the Google Play store or Apple App store and search for the Fortress Guardian App.
Detailed instructions on how to connect the guardian to the internet through the app are available below.
Power Cycling The Guardian has a reset button that can be pressed for 5 seconds to reset the Guardian. Use this function if directed by technical support. IMAGE OF RESET BUTTON HERE

Commented [JC4]: @Drew Garraway Do we have a name for the non-fleet management app?
Commented [DG5R4]: @John Cromer , we have FLEET MANAGEMENT PORTAL (aka FMP) which is the desktop interface to battery health for engineers. GUARDIAN is the companion app that pairs the gateway and battery. Mostly for residential (eFlex to start). If you are asking about GUARDIAN and the official name, that is a great question! I will lean on @Brian Jones on the brand name here. I believe the Guardian app would be it (as Guardian Companion app is a bit long winded)
Commented [JC6]: @Maxim Mounier Can you take a picture of the Guardian hub we have in the office and show the reset button?
