Battery Protection
Limits
The battery protection limits are set in hardware at the factory, and cannot
be adjusted by the user. These limits will not be reached under normal
operation conditions, but are provided as “fail-safe” measures to protect the
battery from deep discharge. They also remove the need for low-voltage
disconnect modules.
Indicator LEDs The indicator LEDs on the front panel are used to indicate the state of the
PMU and its microprocessor. There are two LEDs, one red and one green.
Each LED can be on, off, or flashing at two rates (fast or slow). The state
of these LEDs can indicate a number of operating modes or fault conditions,
as described in Table 13.2 on page 225.
