3. CONFIGURING THE POWERSINE COMBI
3.1 General
The Powersine Combi can be configured in two ways. Using the DIP switches located in the
connection bay, a small selection of basic settings can be made. In most cases this will be
sufficient to quickly setup the unit for typical applications. Another option is to setup the
Powersine Combi using the TBS Dashboard for Windows software. This software is included
in the optional TBSLink to USB Communication Kit (art.# 5092120), which also contains an
isolated interface box required to connect the Powersine Combi to a PC. Using TBS
Dashboard, all available parameters can be edited, and it is also possible to edit or create
your own battery charge programs.
!
CAUTION
When configuring the Powersine Combi by TBS Dashboard, make sure that DIP switch 1 is
set to ON (External). When set to ON, all remaining DIP switch settings (2 up to 7 or 9) are
ignored and the Powersine Combi will always load the parameter settings as configured in
TBS Dashboard.
When DIP switch 1 is set to OFF (Local) again, DIP switch 2 up to 7 or 9
are overriding the
corresponding parameter settings previously made in TBS Dashboard. The parameters that
cannot be configured by DIP switches, shall return to the factory default settings.
This manual will only describe the DIP switch settings and all relevant factory default
parameters. Configuration by TBS Dashboard will be explained in the TBS Dashboard manual
that comes with the TBSLink to USB Communication Kit.
3.2 Factory default parameter settings
The table below shows an overview of the most relevant factory parameter settings, as
stored in the Powersine Combi. These settings are based on an average application. TBS
cannot guarantee that these are correct for your specific application. Please check all
parameters carefully, especially the battery charging voltages.
