Battery Alarms .19
Maximum Cell Voltage. Non-Urgent Alarm, occurs when the voltage per
cell exceeds the value set in the profile settings. Typically 2.7V per cell for
lead acid batteries.
Batt Over Temp - Start. Urgent Alarm, occurs when the battery temperature
measured before a charge profile starts exceeds the value set in the controller
settings. This alarm will not allow the charge profile to continue.
Batt Over Temp - Charge. Non-Urgent Alarm, occurs when the battery
temperature measured during a charge profile exceeds the value set in the
controller settings. This alarm will allow the charge profile to complete.
+dI/dt. Urgent Alarm, occurs when the measured current in the constant
voltage stage is rising instead of falling. This alarm will terminate the charge
profile.
Minimum Current. Non-Urgent Alarm, occurs when using a IU profile and
the current in the constant voltage stage falls below the value set in the
profile settings. This alarm will not stop a profile and is considered normal
for some types of batteries.
EQ/Refresh Timeout. Non-Urgent Alarm, occurs when the time in a given
stage of the equalize profile has exceeded the value set for that stage of the
profile. This alarm will terminate the equalize charge but is not considered
an Urgent Alarm.
