FLEXNet DC Modes
- Channel A is enabled by default
- Each input channel is either enabled or disabled.
- A disabled channel will show zero values only.
- All enabled channels will run in parallel.
- An enabled channel monitors and totals all current owing into or out of the battery
bank through its shunt. Any DC loads or sources wired directly to the battery cannot be
accounted for by FLEXNet and will result in inaccurate readings.
- All unused channels should be set to disabled.
NOTE: All shunts must be connected in the negative or low side of the system and operate in parallel.
High side connection may result in erratic operation and/or failure of the FLEXNet DC.
Charge Cycle
At power up, the FLEXNet DC assumes the battery is full regardless of the battery state-of-charge. The
batteries should receive a full charge at this time to meet the user-determined charge parameters
(entered at start up).
Typical charge cycle:
1. The battery bank is charging and charge parameters are satis ed (return amps, battery
voltage, and the parameters met time set point).
2. When the top green LED is blinking, the charge parameters have been
satis ed.
3. When a discharge begins, an internal timer counts for one minute. After one minute of
discharge, a new discharge cycle starts. All LEDs go solid and all amp hours and kilowatt
hours registers return to zero.
The FLEXNet DC is now synchronized to the battery.
4. The charged and removed amp-hours from the battery are monitored according to the
following:
• Amp-hours removed from the battery are counted at 100%.
• Amp-hours returned to the battery are discounted by the Battery Charge Factor.
• The default charge factor is 94% (each amp-hour returned to the battery is accounted for
as 0.94 Amp-Hours).
