o
set the Cct Switch to “Normally Open”
o
set the Battery Transducer FS as size according to ordered transducers.
o
set the amount of battery temperature compensation voltage adjustment if used and after confirming that the battery
temperature is being measured
o
set the battery charging current limit to 10% of the Ah rating (i.e. if 150Ah battery is used, set the limit to 15A) –
this value can be adjusted later to meet your specific charging requirements. Always refer to the manufacturers
recommendations for charging batteries.
In many cases, these values are set up in the factory and will only require modification if the particular battery being used requires a
different set up. Refer back to section 3 to continue commissioning procedures.
4.11 OPERATION
System operation is controlled by the Controller system controller. As a result, operation information for the system is directly related
to the operation of the Controller as described in this section.
4.12 SUMMARY OF CONTROLLER FRONT PANEL CONTROLS
There are four Menus which can be viewed using the INC or DEC buttons:
a) The default or "Home" menu which contains general system information;
b) RECTIFIER menu - contains all the parameters relating to the switch-mode rectifiers (RECTIFIER);
c) Battery menu - contains all the parameters relating to the batteries;
d) Alarms log - which is a chronological record of the last 100 alarms.
Moving from one menu to another
If no button has been pressed for two minutes, the display will revert back to the Home screen. This shows the output voltage and load
current.
To move from any menu to any other menu, press the corresponding button. e.g. to move to the Battery Menu from any other menu,
momentarily press the BATT button.
To move to the Home menu from any other menu, press the button of the current menu. e.g. if in the RECTIFIER menu, press
RECTIFIER button to return to the Home menu.
Scrolling through the Menus:
To scroll through any menu from the first screen to the last, press the INC button;
To scroll to the last (bottom) screen first, then upwards through the menu to the first screen, press the DEC button.
Incrementing and decrementing programmable parameters
To change a programmable parameter press ENTER; the value will flash on and off. To increase the number, press INC; to decrease
the number press DEC. When the desired number is on the screen, press ENTER again.
To change parameters when the security function is activated
If an attempt is made to alter any parameter when the security function is activated, the display will show the message "Enter
Password".
To change a parameter, enter a valid password. Then proceed to change the parameter in the normal way.
When scrolling through the Alarms log
To observe the date and time of a given alarm, do not press any button for at least two seconds. The date and time will display for two
seconds and then the alarm name will be displayed for two seconds. The display will alternate between the two screens in this manner
until a button is pressed.
