Adjusting LCD Battery Display Order B1, B2 & B3
The LCD displays output voltages for each battery on each battery plate. Labeled simply B1, B2 & B3.
The battery plate itself does not designate the order in which the batteries are displayed
B1, 2, or 3
.
The three terminal blocks on the circuit board labeled Batt 1, Batt 2 & Batt 3 that the battery
plates are attached to determines which battery plate is labeled B1, B2 & B3 on the LCD. You can
change this designation by simply changing the order of the wires from the battery plate to which terminal
block. (See photo above)
This is may be important for operators who wish to take advantage of just one of unique sled designs
allowing it to accept and run a single 24 Vdc battery in conjunction with a 12 Vdc battery. Battery terminal
block 3 is the only terminal block that can accept a 12 or 24 volt battery. Battery terminal block 1 & 2 will
not allow the system to be powered by a 24 Vdc battery. Instead the LCD will display a text message
telling
you that “B1 or B2 CANNOT BE 24 VOLTS” (See photo above) and turn the sled off.
Battery terminal block 1 can accept up to 18 Vdc.
Battery terminal block 2 can accept up to 18 Vdc
Battery terminal block 3 can accept both 12 or 24 volt batteries up to 36 Vdc
When running the sled with a 24 volt battery block only 24 volt connectors will have power. If you are
running 12 Vdc accessories you will need to add a 12 Vdc battery to one of the other battery plates.
Adjusting the Dovetail Clamp
If you find that your camera plate is sliding or the clamp is hanging up on the four shoulder bolts, the
clamp
’s two brass tipped set screws are out of adjustment and need to be reset.
