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 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 rectifiers 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)

This menu item enables the Supervisor to 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 second, 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 s 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 6.3.2.15 above.

6.3.2.17 Soft Start Ramp Rate (Cordex rectifiers only)

This menu item enables the Supervisor to select the soft start ramp rate (normal or fast).

Current limit ramps up at about 12%/s during normal soft start and 33%/s 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)

This menu item enables the Supervisor to select the temperature display scale (Celsius or

Fahrenheit).

6.3.2.19 Check to Enable

This menu item enables the Supervisor to 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)

6.3.3

Power Save

This feature will enable the Supervisor to improve operational efficiency when conditions warrant by running only

the necessary number of rectifiers. The remote shutdown setting (enable or disable) affects correct operation of

the Power Save feature. See also 3.5 for more details.

6.3.3.1

6.3.3.2

6.3.3.3

Enable

This menu item enables the Supervisor to control the CXC’s Power Save feature.

Redundant Rectifiers

This menu item enables the Supervisor to specify the number of extra rectifiers to turn on.

Max (Maximum) Power Usage

This menu item enables the Supervisor to specify the percentage (of maximum power usage)

per rectifier module used in the computation of the Power Save feature. This works to avoid

rectifiers operating continuously at greater than the set limit (i.e. 95%) and going into current

limit frequently due to load surges or power limit conditions; such as, low line voltage or high

temperature.
