Configuration File
The operational settings of the dc power system are stored in a configuration file loaded into the
SC300 system controller.
The SC300 is supplied pre-loaded with a configuration file. If this configuration file has been
customized for the site then no further configuration changes will be necessary.
Otherwise, it is important that the settings of this configuration file are checked and changed as
required for site-specific conditions. In particular, settings that may affect the performance and life
expectancy of the battery must be checked and set according to the battery manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Some settings in the configuration file can be edited using the system controller's keypad (see
details on page 9), or all settings can be edited using a PC/laptop with DCTools (see details on
page 16) or remotely, see Communications Options on page 104.
The configuration file settings in the SC300 can be saved to (Backup) or loaded from (Restore) a
PC/laptop using Web or DCTools. See Backup and Restore on page 23.
Refer to SC300 Identity Information on page 17 for more information on configuration settings
and values.
Backup and Restore
The configuration file settings in the SC300 can be saved to (Backup) or loaded from (Restore) a
PC/laptop using Web or DCTools.
Backup and Restore can be used to:
•
Load a standard (master) configuration file into an SC300 for customization.
•
Copy a customized configuration file from one SC300 to others (at similar sites).
•
