Buddipole PowerMini USB User Manual

POWERmini USB User Guide 10 2.0
User Settings
There are eight parameters that you can set to configure the POWERmini USB to better suit your needs.
These settings will be saved in non-volatile memory so they will be automatically recalled the next time
you power up the unit.
The eight parameters are contained on the GENERAL SETTINGS and THRESHOLD VOLTAGES setup pages.
General Settings
The General Settings page contains settings for the battery type, maximum battery charge voltage, the
Auto-Off setting and the audible alarm enable setting. See Figure 7 below.
Figure 7 General Settings page
Battery Type (LiFePO4/PbSO4)
Select the battery chemistry
Max Charge Voltage (13-15V)
Sets the 100% charge limit.
Auto off (Enable/Disable)
Select whether auto-shutdown is enabled or not.
Alarm (Enable/Disable)
Enable or disable the audible alarm that indicates when an
over voltage or under voltage condition has occurred.
Threshold Voltages
This page contains the trip and reset voltage settings for the over-voltage and under-voltage conditions
Under voltage settings control the point at which PoWERmini USB will disconnect or reconnect the
battery and the load. The Low Voltage Disconnect point (LVD) is set by the LV Trip parameter. When the
battery falls below this voltage and AUTO OFF is enabled the output will be automatically disconnected.
LV Reset is the voltage at which the disconnected output is reconnected. For information on how to
choose the values see the TECHNICAL REFERENCE section beginning on page 12.
You should set the trip voltage first before setting the reset voltage.
Figure 8 Threshold Settings page
LV Trip (10.5 – 13.0V)
Output disconnected when voltage falls below this limit.
LV reset (0.5 – 1.5 above the LV trip setting)
The output is reconnected after a LV trip when the
battery voltage is at or above this voltage limit
HV trip (15- 16V)
The output is automatically disconnected when it
exceeds this trip voltage
HV reset (0.5 – 1.5 below the HV trip setting)
The output is reconnected after a HV trip when the
voltage is at or below this voltage limit
