Alpha Technologies Cordex Controller Ver.3.1x - Manual (Page 43)

41 0700015-J0 Rev B
6.3.2.9 Power Limit (PL)
This menu item sets the level as a percentage at which power limiting activates in all connected Cordex
rectifiers.
6.3.2.10 EQ Timeout
This menu item controls the maximum equalize time setting for all connected rectifiers. This control is
designed to prevent accidental over-charge of the batteries. CXC will send the command to change the
equalize time-out setting in all the rectifiers.
6.3.2.11 BT Timeout
This menu item controls the maximum duration of the Battery Test.
6.3.2.12 Slope (Pathfinder rectifiers only)
This menu item sets all connected rectifiers to the same slope adjustment value. Slope determines the
regulation percentage of the current between rectifiers in a group. When load sharing is initialized, CXC
will send commands to the rectifiers to try to adjust their output voltage within this slope range. The recti-
fiers should have their output voltage as close to being equal, in order to balance (or share) the load
current between them.
6.3.2.13 Backlight Timeout (Pathfinder rectifiers w/LCD only)
This menu item controls the amount of time of GUI inactivity permitted before the rectifier automatically
turns off the LCD backlight.
6.3.2.14 Security Code (Pathfinder rectifiers w/LCD only)
The Supervisor can program one security access code for all connected rectifiers. CXC logs in each of
the rectifiers as Factory Access and sends the direct command to change the access code.
6.3.2.15 Module Start Delay
This menu item controls the stagger-start timer for all connected rectifiers.
With start delay, rectifiers start up in a time-delayed sequence. This prevents excessive loading of the
AC source. For example, setting a start delay time of 5 seconds will cause rectifier#1 to start at 1 sec-
ond, rectifier#2 at 5 seconds, rectifier#3 at 10 seconds, etc. In the case where the start delay exceeds
the maximum range, the next rectifier in sequence will start its delay at zero and increment again by the
value specified in this menu item.
When the rectifier Module Start Delay is set to 0 s, all the rectifiers start with a 0 sec delay.
6.3.2.16 System Start Delay
This menu item controls the amount of time, in seconds, before the stagger-start timer commences, see
the previous section.
6.3.2.17 Soft Start Ramp Rate (Cordex rectifiers only)
The Supervisor can select the soft start ramp rate (normal or fast). Current limit ramps up at about
t12%/sec during normal soft start and 100%/sec during fast.
For systems without batteries, select the Fast setting for the Soft Start Ramp Rate.
6.3.2.18 Temp Display Scale (Pathfinder rectifiers w/LCD only)
The Supervisor can select the temperature display scale (Celsius or Fahrenheit).
6.3.2.19 Check to Enable
The Supervisor can toggle (enable or disable) the following list of items:
• CL and PL Alarm
• Remote Shutdown (Cordex rectifiers only; affects operation of Power Save, see below)
• Local Access Alarm (Pathfinder rectifiers w/LCD only)
• Ramp Test (Cordex rectifiers only)
