► To Characterize the Battery
1 Either:
Manually start a Characterization:
On the SC200 go to: Battery > Characterize > Start.
Or, in DCTools/Web go to: Battery > Battery Time Remaining. Click Characterize.
If "Characterize" is not present on the SC200 or the "Characterize" button is inactive in
DCTools/Web, then check all configuration settings. In DCTools/Web, the hover text will
indicate why the characterization cannot start.
Or, use Automatic Characterization to start a characterization automatically when all
conditions are correct and stable:
In DCTools/Web go to: Battery > Battery Time Remaining.
Set Automatic Characterization to Enabled and set Automatic Characterization Delay to the
required time that the conditions must be stable.
2 The characterization process will take at least 10 hours, depending on the load current.
During characterization the rectifier output voltage is varied to maintain a constant power
discharge.
3 When the characterization has finished, the Characterization Result will be Updated.
If any other Characterization Result is shown, refer to BTR Operation on page 62.
4 The rectifiers will return to float voltage and the battery will start to recharge. If required,
start a manual Equalize (see details on page 26) to reduce the battery recharge time.
5 Restore any changed LVD operation back to the original settings. If no longer required,
disable Battery Current Limit.
Battery Time Remaining is now operational. During any battery discharge an estimate of time
remaining will be displayed.
