Battery On Discharge Alarms
Step
Action
1
Change BD alarm to 2 volts below float voltage (MENU > CONFIGURATION >
FLOAT SETTINGS > VOLTAGE ALARMS > BD).
2
Adjust the load to 50 amperes.
3
Verify the BD alarm occurs when the system voltage decreases to BD threshold.
4
Verify the BD alarm clears once the voltage has exceeded 0.5V above the BD alarm
threshold.
5
Restore the BD alarm threshold to its previous setting.
High Voltage Alarms
Step
Action
1
Confirm the HV alarm threshold (MENU > CONFIGURATION > VOLTAGE
ALARMS > FLOAT VOLTAGE ALARMS).
2
Adjust the float voltage to a value greater than this threshold (MENU >
CONFIGURATION > FLOAT SETTINGS > SET POINT).
3
Verify an HV alarm is reported by the controller.
4
Restore the float voltage back to its original setting.
5
Restore the HV setting back to its original setting.
6
Verify the alarms clear and the controller returns to Normal.
Manual Contactor Control and Alarms

Automatic Contactor Control and Alarms
WARNING: If this is an operating plant with loads, skip this test.
Step
Action
1
Check the disconnect thresholds (MENU > CONTROL / OPERATIONS >
DISCONNECTS).
2
Adjust the float voltage to a value less than this threshold (MENU >
CONFIGURATION > FLOAT SETTINGS > SET POINT).
3
Disconnect the batteries in the plant.
4
Verify the battery disconnect opens and the controller reports a Contactor Open alarm.
5
Restore the plant voltage back to its original setting.
6
Verify the contactor closes.
5
Verify the alarms clear and the controller returns to Normal.
