3.4 Adjusting
Parameters
All equipment is shipped from the factory fully checked and adjusted based on the customer order. Do not
make any adjustments unless the equipment has been powered-up and the settings have been determined to
be incorrect. If the settings have been determined to be incorrect, adjustments may be made as detailed below.
Refer to page # for TPSD control menu structure flow chart.
3.4.1 Settings
Menu
In the Settings Menu the customer can access and change various parameters used by the TPSD. To access the
Settings Menu, press the MENU button, select “Settings Menu” and press the ENTER button.
Once in the settings menu the customer can navigate the menus with the up and down arrows. To enter a
submenu use the ENTER button. The BACK button returns to the previous menu. When making a selection,
the ENTER button will store the value and step back. The BACK button will not save the change and will go a
step back. At any point the settings menu can be exited, with or without saving the settings.
The settings menu is divided into six submenus: “Float/Eq Voltage”, “Equalize Timer Settings”, “Alarm Settings”,
“Ground Detection Alarm”, “Temperature Comp Settings”, “Communication Settings”, and “LCD Settings”.
Return to Defaults
The first option in the settings menu is “Return to Defaults”. This option resets all customer adjustable settings
to the factory defaults. It is important to note that the factory defaults, are not necessarily the correct settings
for the specific DC system. Before the charger is shipped, adjustments are made at the factory using the same
calibration procedure. If the charger is reset to default these factory changes may be reset.
Ex: The software
default for a 130V charger is based on 60 lead cells, a 63L charger is factory adjusted for a higher voltage.
Returning to default will return the charger to a 60L voltage setting.
3.4.1.1. Float/Eq Voltage
The Float/Eq Voltage submenu provides access to change the Float Voltage and Equalize Voltage Settings.
Float Voltage Setting
The float voltage adjustment is set at the factory at 2.17 V/C (LA), 2.25 V/C (VRLA) or 1.4 V/C (NC). The float
voltage increments by 0.1V. Select “Float Voltage Setting” and press then ENTER button. Press the UP and/or
DOWN buttons until the required voltage level is displayed. Press ENTER to store the setting or BACK to cancel.
The approximate adjustable range is as follows:
2.02 – 2.40 V/C (LA) (VRLA)
1.29 – 1.55 V/C (NC)
Equalize Voltage Setting
The equalize voltage adjustment is set at the factory at 2.33 V/C (LA), 2.27 V/C (VRLA) or 1.55 V/C (NC). The
equalize voltage increments by 0.1V. Select “Equalize Voltage Setting” and press then ENTER button. Press the
UP and/or DOWN buttons until the desired voltage is displayed. Press ENTER to store the setting, BACK to
cancel.
