BT End Voltage

This menu item controls the end (or termination) voltage of the BT; +0.5V above Rectifier BT

Voltage is recommended.

Rectifier BT Voltage (identical to 6.3.2.3 – a change in one alters the other)

This menu item enables the Supervisor to set the Rectifier BT Voltage to the desired value

during the test (mode). This setting should have a minimum of LVD + 1V.

Rectifier BT Timeout (identical to 6.3.2.11 – a change in one alters the other)

This menu item controls the duration of the Battery Test.

Auto-BT

Enable

This menu item enables the Supervisor to control the CXC’s Auto-BT feature.

Interval

This menu item enables the Supervisor to program the time, in days, between Auto Battery

Tests.

Remote BT Mode

This feature will force a transition to BT mode when a user-defined condition (custom alarm) is

true.

Enable

This menu item enables the Supervisor to control the CXC’s Remote BT feature.

Remote BT (Custom 1-20)

This menu item enables the Supervisor to assign the Custom Alarm (see 6.5.3 Configure

Alarms) number between 1 and 20.

NOTE: This feature is exclusive for the Cordex series of rectifiers. If Remote BT is

active and a rectifier other than the Cordex series is added to the system then

Remote BT will be aborted.

Battery Properties (See 6.4.8)

The “Battery Properties” button at the bottom of the Battery Test window is a link to the Battery

Properties window.

The return path (the menu structure) will remain intact; i.e., the user will return through the

window where the Battery Properties button was tapped.

6.4.6

Battery Current Termination (BCT) Equalize

Refer to Section 3.7.3 for feature overview.

Since the BC Threshold is in amps, it has to be set with caution since the battery current input has limited

accuracy. If it is too low, the threshold may never be reached. The threshold should be at least twice as large as

the jitter on the battery current input. If this limitation forces the threshold to be set higher than desired, the BCT

Duration can be increased slightly to compensate.

Enable

This menu item enables the Supervisor to control the CXC’s BCT Equalize feature.

Duration

This menu item enables the Supervisor to program the duration of the BCT Equalize in hours.

BC Threshold

This menu item enables the Supervisor to program the threshold (in amps) for the battery

charging current that will trigger the BCT Equalize.

Battery Properties (See 6.4.8)

The “Battery Properties” button at the bottom of the BCT Equalize window is a link to the Battery

Properties window.

The return path (the menu structure) will remain intact; i.e., the user will return through the

window where the Battery Properties button was tapped.

6.4.7

Boost (BST) Mode

This feature will allow a transition to BST mode when a user-defined condition (custom alarm) is false.

NOTE: Activation is manual and certain conditions must be met to prevent damage to the load.

A custom alarm must be created to include all the desired factors that must be taken into account before

activating BST mode. This mode will then only be permitted if the alarm is false.

Once activated, BST mode concludes with a timeout or whenever the status of the custom alarm is true and

reverts to FL mode. BST mode can also be cancelled if the conditions that are required in order to activate BST

mode have changed.
