Table 6 High Power Limiter Operating Modes
When Temperature Compensated Battery Charging (TCBC) mode is selected, the output
voltage set point will be automatically adjusted according to the battery temperature.
An optional temperature sensor must be connected to the socket on the High Power
Limiter, see Figure 23, in order for temperature compensation mode to work correctly. The
temperature sensor should also be attached to one of the posts of the station battery.
WARNING: TCBC opertation for 24V system only. Always disconnect the
temperature sensor, the battery and load before adjusting the output set
point for the value required at 25ºC. It is factory set to charge 12 cells
(24V nominal) lead acid battery system (factory set to 27.0V at 25oC).
