6.4.5.3 Remote BT Mode
This feature will force a transition to BT mode when a user-defined condition (custom alarm) is
true.
Enable
This menu item enables the Supervisor to control the CXC’s Remote BT feature.
Remote BT (Custom 1-20)
This menu item enables the Supervisor to assign the Custom Alarm (see 6.5.3 Configure
Alarms) number between 1 and 20.

active and a rectifier other than the Cordex series is added to the system then
Remote BT will be aborted.
6.4.5.4 Battery Properties (See 6.4.8)
The “Battery Properties” button at the bottom of the Battery Test 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.
6.4.6 Battery Current Termination (BCT) Equalize
Refer to Section 3.7.3 for feature overview.
Since the BC Threshold is in amps, it has to be set with caution since the battery current input has limited
accuracy. If it is too low, the threshold may never be reached. The threshold should be at least twice as large as
the jitter on the battery current input. If this limitation forces the threshold to be set higher than desired, the BCT
Duration can be increased slightly to compensate.
6.4.6.1 Enable
This menu item enables the Supervisor to control the CXC’s BCT Equalize feature.
6.4.6.2 Duration
This menu item enables the Supervisor to program the duration of the BCT Equalize in hours.
6.4.6.3 BC Threshold
This menu item enables the Supervisor to program the threshold (in amps) for the battery
charging current that will trigger the BCT Equalize.
6.4.6.4 Battery Properties (See 6.4.8)
The “Battery Properties” button at the bottom of the BCT Equalize 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.
