Slope Thermal Compensation feature must also be enabled in order to
use Low Temperature compensation which is factory default disabled.
Lower Temperature
Limit Low Temperature Thermal Compensation Limit is the lower
temperature thermal limit at which low temperature thermal
compensation is stopped and the system DC voltage is no longer
increased per configured linear slope rate. This temperature threshold
limit can be set from -5°C to 20°C with a factory default setting of 0°C.
Low Temperature
Slope The low temperature slope increase rate establishes the linear slope rate
that the controller utilizes to increase the system DC voltage from the
configured Battery Nominal Temperature value to the Low
Temperature Compensation Temperature Limit. The low temperature
slope setting (rate of increase) can be set from 1mV/
o C per cell to
10mV/
o
C per cell in .1mV/
o
C per cell increments with a factory default
setting of 3mV/
o
C per cell.
Enable Battery Temp
Probe-Fail Safe When this feature is Enabled the controller will monitor each battery
temperature probe attached. Upon the detection of a failed probe, the
controller will default the system float voltage to a Fail-Safe voltage
determined by the STC settings. The Fail-Safe voltage is the calculated
voltage determined by the u
pper high compensation temperature
limit. The factory default setting Disabled.
Reserve-Boost Configurations
Items in this section of the Settings pages are used to configure the various parameters associated
with the Boost feature. The Boost function allows battery charging to be expedited by raising the
system voltage to Boost level for a set time. A sample screen shot follows along with parameter
descriptions.
Auto Mode Field allows the automatic Boost feature to be Disabled or be based
upon a “Timed” or “Current” based algorithm. When set to Time,
Boost will utilize a multiplication factor of the actual time of the last
BD. When set to Current, Boost will end once the monitored battery
current reaches the programmed current threshold. The factory default
setting for Automatic Boost is Disabled.
Timed Manual
Duration Defines the maximum time duration the system can remain in the
Boost mode of operation. The value can be set from 1 to 80 hours with
a factory default setting of 1 hour.
Auto Multiplication Multiplication factor to use with of the actual time of the last BD for
