Tyco Electronics Galaxy SC Controller J85501F-1
Issue 13 February 2001 Feature Descriptions 7 - 10
would eliminate the need for two
monitoring points, and the need to
configure this item. This item and the
discharge current link are used as the
basis for the battery section current
discharge current A built-in link point for the battery
section discharge current. If two shunt
module channels are used to monitor
battery section current (one channel for
charge current, and one channel for
discharge current), then the discharge
current channel should be linked to this
point. Bipolar shunt module channels
should be used to monitor battery
section current. This item and the
charge current link are used as the basis
for the battery section current.
temperature A built-in link point for the battery
section temperature. If no monitoring
point is linked to the section
temperature, then the reserve time
prediction probe temperature would be
used as the section temperature, if
applicable. The highest section
temperature per contactor is used for
the low voltage battery disconnect
feature, slope thermal compensation,
and the reserve time prediction
algorithm.
fuse status A built-in link point for the battery
section fuse status. This item is for
information purposes only.
Boost This feature provides the ability to operate the battery plant at a second,
defined voltage, rather than the float voltage. This is done by sending
signals to the rectifiers which cause them to switch between their float
and second voltage level. The voltage levels are determined by the
rectifier set points.
The battery plant voltage in boost mode may be higher or lower than in
the float mode. Higher than float voltage boost may be used to rapidly
recharge non-valve regulated lead acid batteries. Lower than float
