QUICK START GUIDE
Step 8 - Initial Startup
Verify that all AC, DC, GND and Controller connections are complete and secure.
Using a multimeter, Verify plant reference ground and chassis ground resistance to side ground bar is less than
0.1 Ohms. With rectifiers and converters unplugged as well as all load breakers on and AC breakers off, verify
resistance of battery bus to ground is greater than 1M
Ω.
If being operated as an ungrounded system, verify both
positive and negative bus measurement to each other and ground is greater than 1M
Ω.
Turn on AC input breakers. If there are no alarms, make required adjustments to the default settings on the
controller for this installation.
Step 9 - Configure Controller
Verify and edit controller basic configuration parameters per site engineering instructions.
Refer to Galaxy Pulsar Plus Product Manual for additional information.

Information: Battery Monitoring Connections
Battery Monitoring is accomplished with a “Daisy Chained” series of probes connected to J2. The Probes monitor
battery temperature and voltage (ES771 required to monitor voltage). Bolt the Probe under the “–“ terminal
connector hardware; NOT under the connecting lug.
