Basic Pulsar Edge Configuration
Once the system is up and running there are only a few configurations that are necessary
depending on your application and the controller utilized for the application. The Pulsar Edge
families of controllers are a multiple micro-processor based unit with volatile and non-volatile
memory. These units have been factory preconfigured with standard or customer specific
configuration default settings for all features and thresholds. Many systems shipped from the
factory all ready have the controller installed, configured, and tested for the system it resides.
Installation and much of the configuration of the system controller may not be required. The date
and time is generally set at factory test to Central Standard Time zone.
Controllers with customer specific configuration defaults are also available. These units will be
assigned a unique apparatus code for ordering and management. A configuration template is
available to facilitate this process. Lineage Power predefined industry standard factory defaults
are utilized for the Pulsar Edge standard controllers. Although the configuration default files are
permanently stored until they are replaced, all configurable parameters and thresholds can also be
reconfigured or modified as needed in the field. These items are then stored in non-volatile
memory. However, a user can always return to factory programmed configuration by initiating
the “Loading Defaults” operation for a specific battery type.
The minimum items to configure for basic system operation are:
• Float Set-Point (And associated alarms described in next section)
• Battery Type and number of strings
• Date
• Time
The Pulsar Edge is designed to support multiple battery technologies. These Generic technologies
include:
• Valve-Regulated Lead Acid (Valve-Reg)
