System fail alarm/relay

Which activates when there is a major internal failure. During such a condition the 

unit attempts to reset.

4.4  L-ADIO

4.4.1  Analog input channels

The controller is supplied with analog input channels for voltage, current, and temperature.

4.4.2  Voltage inputs

Two voltage input channels, V1 and V2, are used to monitor the discharge and charge voltage. V1 for Bus A 

Voltage and V2 for Bus B Voltage. Voltage inputs V3 and V4 are not used in the CXPS-E3 and are available for 

customer use.

4.4.3  Temperature inputs

The CXPS-E3 panel can accept up to four temperature probes to monitor the surrounding ambient temperatures. 

These analog values can be used to report high or low temperature alarms.

4.4.4  Digital input channels

The CXPS-E3 panel can accept up to eight digital inputs. Digital Inputs D1 and D2 are wired for Bus 'A' Breaker 

Alarm and Bus 'B' Breaker Alarm respectively. Digital inputs D3 to D8 are available for customer use.

4.4.5  Alarm and control output relays

The controller contains 12 Form C digital alarm output relays, that are used to extend alarms and control to 

external apparatus. Each internally generated alarm or control signal may be mapped to any one of these relays, 

or several signals may be mapped to just one relay or none at all. None of the output relays are pre-configured on 

the (K1-K12) are available for customer use.
