[Pause] [Abort] [ResumeChg]
- If a problem develops during the charge cycle, you can either
pause or abort the cycle. Pausing the charge by pressing [Pause] opens the charge control relay
and stops the timer until the cycle is resumed. To resume the charge after pausing, press
[ResumeChg]. Pressing [Abort] to stop a cycle causes the same action as a normal time out, with
the mode automatically returning to the Cell Voltage mode. Basically, the abort function short
cycles the charge timer.
9. General Test Notes
The Data function lets you scroll through data stored during a timed equalization charge. There
are ten data points taken at equal intervals during a charge. NOTE: Data is stored in volatile
RAM, which means it will be lost when the PSC is powered off.
To access data that was stored during the timed discharge, press the [Data] key while in the
Power Supply mode. The following shows a typical Charge History screen with sample data.
Charge History
Inc
Veq = 2.25
Ieq = 06.7
T(02) = 001.25
Dec
[Cell - V]
Figure 8. Charge History
The sample data is for the second of the ten stored data points (T02). To scroll through the other
data points, press the Inc or Dec keys.
To return to the Cell Voltage mode from the Data (charge history) mode, press [Cell-V].
NOTE: To safely remove the PSC test leads from the cell, the PSC must be in the Cell Voltage
mode to prevent arcing. To return to the Cell Voltage mode from the Power Supply mode, press
[Data] then press [Cell-V].
If the test leads are disconnected during an active charge function, the PSC will detect the loss of
voltage and display an error message. When the message is cleared by pressing the [Continue]
key, the operating mode changes automatically to the Cell Voltage mode.
