Battery Charge Temperature Compensation
The ACU+ Controller can be programmed to automatically increase or decrease system output voltage to
maintain battery float current as battery temperature decreases or increases, respectively. Battery life can
be extended when an optimum charge voltage to the battery with respect to temperature is maintained.
Temperature is monitored by a sensor mounted on the battery. See your power system documentation for
temperature sensor information. You can also set High2, High1, and Low compensation temperature
alarms.
Functional Description (See Figure 2): Battery charge temperature compensation adds a correction
term, related to the temperature of the batteries, to the nominal value of the system voltage. The degree of
regulation (TempComp Coeff), expressed in mV/°C/battery string, can be set per battery manufacturer
recommendations.
To protect batteries and voltage-sensitive loads, compensation is automatically limited to a maximum of
two volts (48V systems) or one volt (24 volt systems) above or below the nominal output level (float
setting).
Temperature compensation will also clamp if the voltage reaches either the TEMP COMP MAX V setting
or the TEMP COMP MIN V setting. This feature can also be disabled.
Temperature compensation is automatically disabled if communication between the Controller and all
rectifiers is lost, a DC over or under voltage alarm activates, a low voltage disconnection occurs, manual
mode is entered, or the system enters the boost or test modes.
