Manual Operation
6.4.1
Turn On the DC Load
The load must be turned on using the rotary switch on the front of the unit. Alternatively,
turn on can be accomplished using an external device (contactor, circuit breaker) of suitable
voltage and current rating.
After power on, the display will first show some unit related information (model, firmware
versions etc.) and then a language selection screen for 3 seconds. After a few more seconds,
it will display the main screen.
The condition of the DC Input after power-up can be configured in setup mode (see section
6.4.3, “MENU System Overview” on page 61) in the second level menu “General settings”.
Use the “Load State after power ON” setting to determine the output state. Factory setting
is “OFF”, meaning that the DC Input after power-up is always switched off. “Restore” means
that the last condition of the DC Input state will be restored, either on or off. All set values
are always saved and restored.
Note: During the start-up phase at power on, the analog interface can signal undefined
states on its output pins such as ERROR or OVP. Those signal states should be
ignored until the unit has finished booting up completely and is ready for use.
6.4.2
Turn Off the DC Load
On power off, the last output condition and the active setting values are automatically
saved. Furthermore, a PF alarm (Power Failure) will be reported, but can be ignored.
The DC Input is immediately switched off and after a short period, the internal fans will shut
down. After another few ,seconds the unit will be completely powered off.
6.4.3
MENU System Overview
The MENU screen is used to configure all
operating parameters, which are not required
on a regular basis. These can be set by touch
on the MENU touch area, but only if the DC
Input is switched OFF. See figure to the right.
If the DC Input is switched ON the settings
menu will not be shown, only status
information.
Menu navigation is by touch only. Individual values are set using the rotary knobs. The
assignment of the knobs to the adjustable values is not visible in menu pages, but there is a
standard assignment order rule:
Upper value -> Left-hand knob, Lower values -> Right-hand knob.
