2. QUICKSTART
2.1 General
This chapter describes the minimum amount of steps that need to be followed in order to get your
Expert Modular up and running. It assumes that the enclosed installation guide has been followed
carefully and that the Expert Modular is powered up for the first time. After this the Setup wizard
will start automatically. If the Setup wizard does not start and the Expert Modular will jump to the
normal operating mode after power up, it has already been configured before. In that case you can
choose to restore the factory default settings (see chapter 7, for more information) and start from
the beginning. Please see the next chapter for more details about the Setup wizard.
2.2 Setup wizard
The Setup wizard will guide you through a few basic steps that are essential for a correctly
functioning Expert Modular. No other Function settings can be accessed before the Setup wizard has
been completed.
Step 1-2: Main battery type
The display will start by showing the battery type selection screen. You can use the left (<)
and right (>) arrow keys to select between AGM (default), GEL, Flooded and Lithium LiFePO4.
Please consult your battery manual or supplier, to find out the correct type of your battery
system. Once the selection has been made, press the MENU key to jump to the next step.
Step 2-2: Main battery capacity
The default battery capacity value is 200Ah. This can be changed by pressing the left or right
arrow keys until the desired value is reached. The standard battery capacity value is based on
a discharge rate of 20 hours. When your battery capacity is rated at a different discharge
rate, please change this in Function F1.2 (see chapter 6.1) afterwards.
Once the selection has
been made, press the MENU key for 3 seconds to finalize the Setup wizard.
