System Status
The System Status screen displays the module Total Operating Hours and the Battery Cycle Monitor.
Battery Cycle Monitor (Module Only)
Selecting the Battery Cycle Monitor gives you access to detailed information about the module’s most recent
battery discharge events. Periodic review of this data can give a good indication of battery performance and
expected life.
Each battery discharge cycle is put into one of four categories, depending on the length of the event:
• 0-30 Seconds Discharge
• 31-90 Seconds Discharge
• 91-240 Seconds Discharge
• Over 240 Seconds Discharge
Each discharge cycle is sorted by time duration and tagged with the following system parameters:
• System time and date
•EventNumber
• Duration of cycle (seconds)
• Lowest DC Bus Voltage
• Highest DC Bus Current
• kW carried by the batteries at the start of cycle
• Battery Environment Ambient Temperature (when equipped with optional temperature sensor)
Up to 132 discharge cycle events can be stored at any given time. When the buffer approaches its capacity, a
warning message is broadcast via terminal and modem communication channels and a complete listing of all
records (in order of occurrence) is sent to the terminal port. If a serial printer is attached to the terminal port, the
operator can print a hard copy of the report. If a printer is not available, a terminal emulation program can cap-
ture the report to disk for later review or printing. Once the buffer is filled, new data will replace the old on a
First In, First Out basis as new cycles occur.
To view this data, select the BATTERY CYCLE MONITOR option on the System Status screen. At the next
screen (see Figure 26), you can select either the Battery Cycle Monitoring Summary screen or a screen showing
detailed information on any one of the four categories of discharge (0-30 seconds, 31-90 seconds, 91-240 sec-
onds and Over 240 seconds).
Figure 26 Battery Cycle Monitor Screen
The Summary screen (Figure 27) shows Total Number of Discharge Cycles, Accumulated Battery Time, Accu-
mulated Battery Amp Hours, Accumulated Battery Kilowatt Hours, and Battery Temperature. During a battery
discharge event, the screen changes to show information about the present discharge cycle. The screen displays
