Tyco Electronics Galaxy SC Controller J85501F-1
Issue 13 February 2001 Configuration 4 - 9
Note that this field must only be configured when the Shunt Type for the
plant is LOAD or BATTERY. If Shunt Type is set to NONE, this field
has no function.
SHUNT I: To configure the Plant Current shunt, move the cursor to the
SHUNT I field by using the <UP>/<DOWN>/<LEFT>/<RIGHT>
ARROW keys. Use the <+> or <-> key to step through the available
values (50, 100, 150, 200, 300, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1300, 2000,
2400, 2600, 3000, 4000, 5000, 5200, 6000, 8000, 10000, 12000). Select
the desired value and press ENTER to save the change.
Note that this field must only be configured when the Shunt Type for the
plant is LOAD or BATTERY. If Shunt Type is set to NONE, this field
has no function.
AUTO RST: This field enables or disables the Automatic Rectifier
Restart field (AUTO RST). To enable or disable, be sure DIP switch 7
of SW202 on BJB board is ON. Use <+> or <-> keys to change value,
<ENTER> to save change. This field must be enabled for the AUTO
RST field on the MAIN menu to work.
BOOST: This field is BOOST Enable/Disable switch. A hardware DIP
switch (switch 3 of SW202 on the BJB board) and a software switch are
associated with this field. You must enable this field before you can
switch the plant mode between the FLOAT and BOOST features. To
switch the plant mode, make sure the hardware DIP switch is ON, and
use the <+> or <-> key to set the field value as ENABLE; press ENTER
key to save the change. There are many types of boost modes, explained
in detail in the feature descriptions in Section 7.
ADJ PLV: This field, ADJ PLV, allows you to calibrate the plant
voltage to the desired level. For example, if the Galaxy SC shows that
the plant voltage is 48.26V, and your meter reads 48.30V, you can use
this field to adjust the controller plant voltage display to 48.30V to
match your meter reading. You may change the voltage in steps of
0.01V. The maximum total change is 0.5V in either direction. The
changed value entered will be used to compute other plant voltage
readings, using a linear equation. Use the <+> or <-> key to change the
field value; press <ENTER> to save it. The DEFAULT screen should
show the new plant voltage value (assuming that in the mean time the
input plant voltage has not changed).
Plants with serial rectifiers react slightly differently to this command.
Because the controller is setting the voltage for the plant’s serial
rectifiers to the level defined by Rectifier Manager, the plant voltage
reported by Galaxy after execution of the ADJ PLV command will NOT
