6.6.2 Configure Signals
This menu item provides a link for the Supervisor to configure controller Signals (and Analog Inputs described
above). The status of Digital Inputs and Rectifier Signals may also be viewed under this menu.
6.6.2.1 Controller Signals
Select this heading from the pull-down menu to access/edit the list of Controller Signals (4.5)
menu items such as load current and battery temperature (to enable sensors, see Figure 51).
Once a menu item is selected, tap the “Configure” button to produce another window and list of
items
4 to navigate and edit. See examples on the next page.
Definitions
Load Voltage — The discharge voltage.
Load Current — The discharge current.
Battery Voltage — The charge or system voltage.
Battery Current — The charge current.
AC Mains — The average rectifier input voltage. AC Correction appears when AC Mains is
selected.
Total Rectifier Current — The sum of rectifier output currents.
Battery Temperature — The average of enabled sensors (if temperature sensors agree within
5%) or the peak value of enabled sensors (if temperature sensors do not agree within 5%).
Battery Run Time — The estimated time remaining before LVD.
Battery Capacity — A battery’s estimated ability to store charge.
Battery Depth of Discharge — An estimate of the energy removed from a battery during a
discharge.
Converter Load Voltage — The converter output voltage.
Converter Load Current — The converter output current.
The table below summarizes the default controller signal equations:

6.6.2.2 Analog Inputs
Select this heading from the pull-down menu to access/edit list of Analog Inputs menu items.
See 6.6.1 for details.
6.6.2.3 Digital Inputs
Select this heading from the pull-down menu to access a list of all the existing digital channels,
see 6.5.3.3 for Alarms. The status of the channel, high or low, is displayed in the column next to
the channel name.
6.6.2.4 Rectifier Signals
Select this heading from the pull-down menu to access a list of all the existing rectifier signals.
The status of the signal is displayed in the column next to the signal name.
4 “Signal Equation” or “Customize” does not appear for AC Mains or Battery related menu items.
