Part 3: Configuration Options

Menu Choices or Information Displayed
The Configure Battery menu lets you read (as a user) and change (installer-only)
settings associated with the battery system. The parameters that can be set include
battery size, temperature, and type.
Battery Size This is the capacity of the battery or battery bank in ampere-hours. The PROsine
will alter the charging rate based on battery bank size. Charging at a rate that is too
high for your batteries can damage or destroy them.
Select the appropriate value between 50 and 2000 Ah.
Default Batt Temp Select a battery temperature that is closest to the average ambient temperature in
the location where the battery is installed. The choices are:
p Cold: 5°C (41°F)
p Warm: 20°C (68°F)
p Hot: 35°C (95°F)
When the battery temperature sensor is installed, this setting is ignored and the
actual battery temperature is used.
Battery Type From the list of options available, select the type of battery(s) that you have
installed. See Application Note: Battery Banks for Inverter Systems (976-0114-
01-01).
When you select a charging algorithm, the battery details listed below (see “View
/ Change Battery Details” on page 4–13) are automatically given default settings.
These default values are the most appropriate for the selected battery type.
If you have a battery type that isn’t on the list, you can modify the charging
algorithm settings according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. (This requires
you to be in Installer mode.)

Battery Temp
Coefficient
This is the relationship between temperature and voltage levels on the battery. The
correct value depends on battery type. For the correct value, consult the battery
manufacturer.
WARNING: Risk of Fire or Explosion
Incorrect settings can damage or destroy your batteries. When making any battery
configuration settings, ensure that the values are correct according to the battery
manufacturer’s specifications. Settings should be changed by qualified personnel only.
