- Alarm auto off  

0-255 sec (0 = always on) 

The  buzzer  can  be  configured  for  individual  alarms.  Depending  on  the  configuration,  the  alarm 
switches on for the following alarm states and remains switched on until all pending alarms have 
been canceled. If an alarm has been acknowledged and a new alarm is added, the buzzer will be 
reactivated. 
 
Battery 1  

capacity alarm  

Adjustable (10 - 80%) 

 

battery empty (20%)  

determined by battery management 

 

battery deep discharge (0%)  

determined by battery management 

 

overvoltage adjustable  

adjustable (14 - 32 V) 

 

(Over) temperature  

adjustable (40 - 60 ° C) 

Battery 2  

undervoltage  

adjustable (9-24V) 

 

overvoltage  

adjustable (14-32V) 

Battery 3

adjustable (9-24V) 

 

overvoltage  

adjustable (14-32V) 

 
The voltage alarms must necessarily be adapted for 24V batteries! 
 
By briefly pressing the respective line, the audible alarm can be switched on or off. At long pressure 
(> 2s) the respective threshold value can be edited. 

5. OPERATION  

On the main page you can switch between the 2 main screens via the lower buttons: 
battery  and  charger,  provided  that  a  philippi  charger  ACE  with  interface  ACE-LIN  is  installed. 
Otherwise, only the battery screen is available. 
 
The lower buttons have the following functions: 
 
Batteries:  If  a  shunt  SHE  300  is  connected,  the  charge  status  of  the  battery  system  can  be  read. 
Pressing this button switches to the battery screen. 
 
AC mains: If an ACE charger is connected, the current mains voltage is displayed. If no mains voltage 
is applied to the charger this will be displayed accordingly. 
Pressing this key switches to the loading screen. 
 
SETUP: Here the settings of the battery system can be made. See chapter 4.
