• Flooded Lead Acid (Flooded)
• Lithium Metal Polymer (Li-LMP)
• Lithium ELiTE (Li-ELiTE)
• Nickel-Cadmium (Ni-Cd)
Standard float values, alarm thresholds, and other functions are set as defaults for each of these
battery types that can be modified in the field as desired. The Pulsar Edge also provides a list of
industry standard batteries that are linked to these technologies and share the standard defaults.
Batteries can be added or deleted from this list as required through the use of the controller’s
remote interfaces.
The Pulsar Edge has been factory pre-configured with the generic Valve-Regulated Lead Acid
(Valve-Reg) battery as the standard configured battery model. All associated configuration items
for the “Valve-Reg” battery type are utilized. Thus, the default system float voltage setting and
alarm thresholds are configured assuming the power system contains VRLA batteries that require
an uncompensated float voltage of -54.48V (48V) or +24.24 (24V) as observed during the power-
up procedure.
Basic configuration items such as the battery type, float set-point, date, and time, and site ID can
be reconfigured in the field from through remote means. Many of the items are found on the
“Installation” page. Consult the next section for additional details for changing specific items.
