View Level Overview

If no password is entered when requested or environment level not changed then the Interface Suite works in view
mode
only. From this setting the following four screens are available in addition to the standard Settings &
Communication Screens:

Charger History screen

– Charger State History

This provides an historic view of the chargers
time in various charge states as well as key
counters.

Time in AC failure
Time spent powered by DC with AC failure fault
recorded

Time Charging (>500mA)
Time spent delivering in excess of 500mA

Max Battery Temperature
SNTL150P will record the highest temperature
recorded by the Temperature Sensor (if connected)

Time Battery Missing
Time spent powered by AC with no Battery
Connected

Time in Float Mode
Time spent with charger in its float mode of operation

Time in Boost
Combination of all time spent both in SNTL150Ps
ramping to boost stages as well as Boost Extension
Periods, including commissioning charge times.


The central pie chart shows a breakdown of time spent by
SNTL150P in its 5 key charge states.

Charger History screen

– Recharge History

This provides an historic view of the last 15 bulk
charges in time.
The SNTL150P will record time spent ‘ramping
the batteries to their target boost voltage.
(recorded in 10 minute blocks)


The Bar Graph Display will provide an indication of
the trend of the battery recharge time, typically as
batteries chemical makeup weakens, the bulk charge
time will decrease, as the capacity of the battery
becomes reduced.
Note: Use with caution as a guide to battery health,
as the SNTL150P will only record time spent in this
condition, but not the batteries terminal voltage at
start of charge cycle.
