INVERTER
Inverter
When turned on, this forces the FXM to provide backup battery power to the
load. This can only be activated when the FXM is turned on and there is no
line power available.
Also See
“Adjusting and Controlling the Novus FXM, #31
Inverter On/Off.” on page 50.
INV BYPASS
Inverter Bypass
This function can only be turned on when the FXM is in line mode. When
turned on, this locks the FXM into line mode, turns off the battery charger and
makes the output voltage equal to the input voltage. This is done to:
Replace the batteries (
See
page 83).
OR
Allow the use of a break-before-make manual bypass switch so the FXM can
be shut off for maintenance or replacement without interrupting power to the
load.
SELF TEST
Self Test
This is the FXM’s self test. When it is turned on, the FXM is forced to verify
its proper operation by providing backup battery power to the load and then
switches back to Line mode. The default setting for the run time is 2 minutes,
but this can be changed in the RS-232 menus (
See
“Adjusting and Controlling
the Novus FXM #30: Self Test Options” on page 50.).
AUTO TEST
Automatic Test
If the GUI’s periodic self test is enabled (
See
page 56), this starts the test no
matter when it is scheduled to take place.
SHUTDOWN
Shutdown
When this function is turned on, the FXM’s inverter is shut off. The line is
disconnected from the load, so no line power is provided to it.
SENSE TYPE
Sense Type
This function can only be used when the FXM is in Standby or Shutdown
mode (See Figure 7.2). This function toggles between:
NORMAL: The FXM can operate successfully with most line conditions.
or
GENERATOR: The FXM’s input voltage and frequency parameters are
expanded so the FXM can work with the fluctuations caused by a generator or
noisy line.
