6.5.4 Battery (Discharge) Test
The Battery Test (BT) is used to update the status of the battery capacity. It can be set to run automati-
cally or can be initiated manually (via the Mode Selection button). See 4.12 for more details.
BT End Voltage BT Termination Voltage: Controls the end (or termination) voltage of the BT; +0.5
V above Rectifier BT Voltage is recommended.
Rectifier BT Voltage: Identical to the field of the same name in the Rectifier
configuration settings in 6.3.2 – a change in one alters the other. The Supervisor
can set the Rectifier BT Voltage to the desired value during the test (mode). This
setting should have a minimum of LVD + 1 V.
Rectifier BT Timeout: Identical to the field of the same name in the Rectifier
configuration settings in 6.3.2 – a change in one alters the other. Controls the
duration of the Battery Test.
Auto BT Set the Interval time, in days, between automatic battery tests.
Scheduled BT Use the Configure Schedule button to set up a schedule.
Remote BT Mode This feature will force a transition to BT mode when a user-defined condition
(custom alarm) is true.
Remote BT (Custom 1-20) : This menu item enables the Supervisor to assign a
Custom Alarm number between 1 and 20. (Refer to 6.6.3 to configure custom
alarms.)
NOTE
: This feature is exclusive to the Cordex series of rectifiers. If Remote BT
is active and a rectifier other than the Cordex series is added to the system then
Remote BT will be aborted.
