COMMISSIONING
With all the batteries, load and AC cabling wired, and checked for correct polarity, the system is commissioned by the
following steps:
Ensure no rectifiers are installed in the Power Module and no load is applied.
Plug in the Controller – it should power up off the battery. If not, it is possible that the battery polarity is reversed.
Set up the Controller menu items for:
o
number of batteries and size (Ah),
o
number of rectifiers,
o
set the required float and equalize voltages,
o
set BLVDS option to Auto and set the BLVDS Aux to “Normally Open”
o
set the Battery Switch to “Normally Open”
o
set the Cct Switch to “Normally Open”
o
set the Battery Transducer FS as 400 Amps
o
set the amount of battery temperature compensation voltage adjustment if used and after confirming that
the battery temperature is being measured
o
set the battery charging current limit to 10% of the Ah rating (i.e. if 150Ah battery is used, set the limit to
15A) – this value can be adjusted later to meet your specific charging requirements.
In many cases, these values are set up in the factory and will only require modification if the particular battery
is being used requires a different set up.
Close the remaining battery circuit breakers if more than one string is used.
Insert a switch-mode rectifier in position 1 and apply the AC power. The rectifier unit should power up and begin
charging the battery bank/s.
Insert all the remaining rectifiers and apply AC power to them.
Check that the bus voltage is increasing toward the float voltage.
Close the load circuit breakers and check that the loads power up.
Wait for 1 minute and check that the rectifiers are all sharing the load current to /-2A of the average rectifier
current.
The system is up and operational. Adjust any operational monitoring or setup details as required (see the next
section on Operation or refer to the Controller Operation Manual on the CD for a detailed explanation of the
functions).
