Charge eff. fact When a battery is charged, energy is lost. The
charge efficiency factor compensates for the lost
energy, where 1 is no loss of energy and 0.5 is a
50 % loss of energy. 0.9 0.5-1 0.05
Peukert exponent The Peukert exponent for your battery (refer to
chapter 4.1.2 for more information). Set to 1.00
to disable the Peukert compensation. Contact
your battery manufacturer for the Peukert
exponent. 1.25 1-1.5 0.01
Temperature coef This is the percentage the battery capacity
changes with temperature. 0.5 0.5-0.95 0.05
Current threshol This value will be considered as zero amps, to
ensure that errors are eliminated. 0.1 A 0-5 0.1
Shunt current The maximum current rating of the shunt. 500 A 5-50000 5
Shunt voltage The output voltage of the shunt at the maximum
rated current. 50 mV 1-100 1
Current offset Used to compensate for small errors in current
measurement caused by unwanted offsets
picked up by the measurement cables.
0 A -60000 -

0.01
Battery current Duplicates the current reading from the top level
menu. This allows the effects of changes to the
current offset to be observed without having to
navigate the menu hierarchy.
4.3 Alarms
The VBC-HV is equipped with a relay that can be programmed to signal
alarms; or when connected to a generator, to automatically start and stop
a generator. Alarms can also be sent to the VPN, which can be
configured to sound an alarm, or control another relay. Each alarm type
can be configured to activate the relay, send a panel alarm, or both. They
can also be completely disabled.
