6.3.2.5 OVP Voltage
This menu item enables the Supervisor to program one OVP setting for all connected rectifiers.
OVP will disable a rectifier that outputs an abnormally high voltage.
6.3.2.6 Low Voltage Alarm (LVA)
This menu item enables the Supervisor to program one LVA setting for all connected rectifiers.
LVA serves as a warning to the user indicating that output voltage is dropping.
6.3.2.7 High Voltage Alarm (HVA)
This menu item enables the Supervisor to program one HVA setting for all connected rectifiers.
HVA serves as a warning to the user indicating that output voltage is rising. This value should
be less than the OVP setting in order for the HVA to work effectively.
6.3.2.8 Current Limit (CL)
This menu item sets the level as a percentage at which current limiting activates in all
connected rectifiers.
Current limiting is a primary response to output over current situations. If the output current on
the rectifiers exceeds the current limit setting, their output voltage will automatically decrease
but will maintain the current output at the current limit level. This prevents potential damage to
the rectifiers.
If the CXC finds rectifiers in the system that cannot meet the default current limit value, the CXC
will correct its default limit setting to match the rectifiers.
6.3.2.9 Power Limit (PL)
This menu item sets the level as a percentage at which power limiting activates in all connected
Cordex rectifiers.
6.3.2.10 EQ Timeout
This menu item controls the maximum equalize time setting for all connected rectifiers. This
control is designed to prevent accidental over-charge of the batteries. CXC will send the
command to change the equalize time-out setting in all the rectifiers.
6.3.2.11 BT Timeout
This menu item controls the duration of the Battery Test.
6.3.2.12 Slope (Pathfinder rectifiers only)
This menu item sets all connected rectifiers to the same slope adjustment value. Slope
determines the regulation percentage of the current between rectifiers in a group. When load
sharing is initialized, CXC will send commands to the rectifiers to try to adjust their output
voltage within this slope range. The rectifiers should have their output voltage as close to being
equal, in order to balance (or share) the load current between them.
6.3.2.13 Backlight Timeout (Pathfinder rectifiers w/LCD only)
This menu item controls the amount of time of GUI inactivity permitted before the rectifier
automatically turns off the LCD backlight.
6.3.2.14 Security Code (Pathfinder rectifiers w/LCD only)
This menu item enables the Supervisor to program one security access code for all connected
rectifiers. CXC logs in each of the rectifiers as Factory Access and sends the direct command to
change the access code.
