Float (FL) Voltage
This menu item enables the Supervisor to set the system BATTERY VOLTAGE (measured at
an analog input channel) to the desired float voltage value. Float voltage charges the battery
string and supplies the load. Normally, the power system will operate in the float mode. This
setting should have a minimum of LVD + 1V and a maximum of OVP – 1V.
Equalize (EQ) Voltage
This menu item enables the Supervisor to set the system BATTERY VOLTAGE (measured at
an analog input channel) to the desired equalize voltage value. Equalize voltage charges the
battery string at a higher than normal voltage to either recharge batteries after a power failure or
to balance individual cell voltages. Periodic equalizing of the battery string may be required to
optimize battery performance and life. This setting should have a minimum of LVD + 1V and a
maximum of OVP – 1V.
Battery Test (BT) Voltage
This menu item enables the Supervisor to set the Battery (Discharge) Test Voltage to the
desired value during the test (mode). This setting should have a minimum of LVD + 1V.
Safe Voltage
This menu item enables the Supervisor to set the default system voltage (Safe Mode) in the
event that communications to Cordex rectifiers should fail. See 3.4 for more details about this
feature.
OVP Voltage
This menu item enables the Supervisor to program one OVP setting for all connected rectifiers.
OVP will disable a rectifier that outputs an abnormally high voltage.

Low Voltage Alarm (LVA)
This menu item enables the Supervisor to program one LVA setting for all connected rectifiers.
LVA serves as a warning to the user indicating that output voltage is dropping.
High Voltage Alarm (HVA)
This menu item enables the Supervisor to program one HVA setting for all connected rectifiers.
HVA serves as a warning to the user indicating that output voltage is rising. This value should
be less than the OVP setting in order for the HVA to work effectively.
Current Limit (CL)
This menu item sets the level as a percentage at which current limiting activates in all
connected rectifiers.
Current limiting is a primary response to output over current situations. If the output current on
the rectifiers exceeds the current limit setting, their output voltage will automatically decrease
but will maintain the current output at the current limit level. This prevents potential damage to
the rectifiers.
If the CXC finds rectifiers in the system that cannot meet the default current limit value, the CXC
will correct its default limit setting to match the rectifiers.
Power Limit (PL)
This menu item sets the level as a percentage at which power limiting activates in all connected
Cordex rectifiers.
