During
phase 1 (LIFTING)
the battery current is limited to a maximum of 20% of the current of the
previously configured battery bank; which gradually increases the voltage of the battery cells
without heating or overloading. This phase has 6 steps, which are indicated by
the firing frequency
of LED 1 (ELEVATION)
, from 1 to 6Hz. When
LED 1 (ELEVATION)
lights up constantly, it means that
this phase has already been performed. After the battery voltage is raised to 14.4V, the source
automatically enters
phase 2 (ABSORPTION)
. In
phase 2 (ABSORPTION)
,the voltage remains
constant at 14.4V while the battery absorbs charge, until the current reaches 4% of the bank value,
previously configured, triggering
LED 2 (ABSORPTION)
constantly and automatically moving to
phase 3 (EQUALIZATION)
. In
phase 3 (EQUALIZATION)
, the voltage is reduced to 13.8V with pulses
of 14.4V every 5 minutes. The battery is charged at its maximum capacity, because the equalization
is done pulsatively.
SOURCE MODE - Fixed Output Voltage:
X-LINE Sources allow the user to digitally choose
between 6 voltage values at the source output (12.6V / 13.0V / 13.4V / 13.8V / 14.0V / 14.4V). This
mode is ideal for battery-free systems, allowing you to power the amplifier or other devices with a
stable voltage.
DIAGNOSIS
CCA METER – Cold Start Current:
Função exclusiva das Fontes STORM, a medição de CCA -
Corrente de Partida a Frio (Cold Cranking Ampere) - permite realizar uma análise da bateria em
apenas 10 segundos, fornecendo o valor de CCA da bateria em amperes, que pode ser comparado
com o CCA disponível no rótulo da bateria ou com medições anteriores. A função mede também a
resistência interna (Ri) em mΩ (miliOhm) e a porcentagem comparativa da carga em relação a uma
bateria nova.
BATTERY CHECK-UP - Accumulated Charge Meter:
The STORM Sources display, in
addition to working such as voltmeter and ammeter, informs the user how much cargo was
accumulated by the battery during the charging cycle, letting you know if the battery is still in good
working order.
