Figure 33–Phase Mapping (rectifiers) window
6.4 Batteries
This menu category consists of battery controls. Parameters can be set/accessed, such as automatic temperature
compensation, auto equalize and battery current (I) limit.
See Standard Features chapter for an explanation of temperature compensation and lead acid battery
auto equalization.
6.4.1 Temperature Compensation (Temp Comp)
6.4.1.1 Enable
This menu item enables the Supervisor to control the CXC’s temperature compensation feature.
Automatic battery temperature compensation may be enabled in equalize mode independently
from float mode. Battery Properties section must be completed to enable this feature.
