6.4.4 Battery Monitor
6.4.4.1 Enable
This menu item enables the Supervisor to control the CXC’s battery monitor feature.
Battery Properties section must be completed to enable this feature.
6.4.4.2 Load Type
This menu item enables the Supervisor to select the type of load on the system: constant
power, current, or resistive. This is used for battery capacity calculations.
6.4.4.3 Disconnect Voltage
The disconnect voltage should be set to the value of the LVD that will disconnect the battery
from the load. The Battery Runtime algorithm uses this value to calculate the hours remaining
during an AC outage.
6.4.4.4 Reset Battery Monitor
The Battery Monitor should be reset when installing new or different batteries.
6.4.4.5 Battery Properties (See 6.4.8)
The “Battery Properties” button at the bottom of the Battery Monitor window is a link to the
Battery Properties window.
The return path (the menu structure) will remain intact; i.e., the user will return through the
window where the Battery Properties button was tapped.
6.4.5 Battery (Discharge) Test
The Battery Test (BT) is used to update the status of the battery capacity. It can be set to run automatically or can
be initiated manually (via Mode Selection button). See 4.3.4 for more details.
6.4.5.1 BT End Voltage
This menu item controls the end (or termination) voltage of the BT; +0.5V above Rectifier BT
Voltage is recommended.
Rectifier BT Voltage (identical to 6.3.2.3 – a change in one alters the other)
This menu item enables the Supervisor to set the Rectifier BT Voltage to the desired value
during the test (mode). This setting should have a minimum of LVD + 1V.
Rectifier BT Timeout (identical to 6.3.2.11 – a change in one alters the other)
This menu item controls the duration of the Battery Test.
6.4.5.2 Auto-BT
Enable
This menu item enables the Supervisor to control the CXC’s Auto-BT feature.
Interval
This menu item enables the Supervisor to program the time, in days, between Auto Battery
Tests.
