Configuration File
The operational settings of the dc power system are stored in a configuration file loaded into the
SC200 system controller.
The SC200 is supplied pre-loaded with a configuration file. If this configuration file has been
customized for the site then no further configuration changes will be necessary.
Otherwise, it is important that the settings of this configuration file are checked and changed as
required for site-specific conditions. In particular, settings that may affect the performance and
life expectancy of the battery must be checked and set according to the battery manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Some settings in the configuration file can be edited using the system controller's keypad (see
details on page
), or all settings can be edited using a PC/laptop with DCTools/Web (see
details on page
) or remotely, see Communications Options on page
The configuration file settings in the SC200 can be saved to (Backup) or loaded from (Restore) a
PC/laptop using DCTools/Web. See Backup and Restore on page
