5.5.1.4 Examples
examples of settings:
To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Up' button for 2 seconds (
upper
button to the right of
the DIP switches, see appendix A, position K).
The overload and low-battery LED’s will flash to indicate acceptance of the
settings.
We recommend making a note of the settings, and filing this information in a safe place.
The DIP switches can now be used to apply the remaining settings (step 2).
5.5.2 Step 2: Other settings
The remaining settings are not relevant for slaves.
Some of the remaining settings are not relevant for followers
(L2, L3)
. These settings are imposed on the whole system by the
leader
L1
. If a setting is irrelevant for L2, L3 devices, this is mentioned explicitly.

ds6: absorption time 8 or 4 hours
(not relevant for L2, L3)
on = 8 hours
off = 4 hours
ds5: adaptive charging characteristic
(not relevant for L2, L3)
on = active
off = inactive (fixed absorption time)
ds4: dynamic current limiter
on = active
off = inactive
ds3: UPS function
on = active
off = inactive
ds2: converter voltage
on = 230V / 120V off = 240V / 115V
ds1: converter frequency
(not relevant for L2, L3)
on = 50Hz
off = 60Hz
(the wide input frequency range (45-55Hz) is 'on' by default)
Note:
-
If “adaptive charging algorithm” is on, ds6 sets the maximum absorption time to 8 hours or 4 hours.
-
If “adaptive charging algorithm” is off, the absorption time is set to 8 hours or 4 hours (fixed) by ds6.
