Vertiv™ NetSure™ Control Unit (NCU) User Manual
• Short Test: Enables or disables a Short Battery Discharge Test. A Short Battery Discharge Test is a short duration battery
discharge test used to verify that parallel batteries are discharging equally. If the discharge current difference between the
two batteries exceeds a preset value, an alarm is generated. When enabled, the following parameters can be set.
NOTE!
This test requires a system with two battery shunts.
Short Test Cycle: Short Battery Discharge Test interval (days).
Short Test Time: Short Battery Discharge Test time (minutes).
Short Test Max Difference Current: An alarm is generated if the maximum difference between discharge currents of the
two batteries exceeds this limit.
• Test Voltage Level: System output voltage setting during a battery discharge test.
• End Test Voltage: This is the "end of test voltage level" for battery discharge tests. A battery discharge test will end if
battery voltage decreases to this setting.
• End Test Time: This is the "end of test time period” for battery discharge tests. A battery discharge test will end if this time
period is exceeded.
• End Test Capacity: This is the "end of test remaining battery capacity" for battery discharge tests. A battery discharge test
will end if remaining battery capacity decreases to this setting. For example, a value of 0.700C10 means that when the
discharging current reaches 70% of the battery's nominal capacity, the battery test is ended.
• Record Threshold: Every time the battery voltage is changed more than this threshold, a new line is stored in the battery
test log.
• Number of Planned Tests per Year: Number of planned battery discharge test per year. There can be up to twelve (12)
battery discharge tests per year. A "0" setting disables the planned test feature. When enabled, the following parameters can
be set.
Planned Test # (MM-DD Hr): Setting for when planned battery discharge test # occurs. Note that there can be up to
twelve (12) battery discharge tests per year.
• Clear Bad Battery Alarm: Clears a bad battery alarm. The only selection is Yes. Once Yes is selected and confirmed, the
alarm clears.
• Clear Battery Test Fail Alarm: Clears a battery test fail alarm. The only selection is Yes. Once Yes is selected and
confirmed, the alarm clears.
• Clear Discharge Curr Imbalance: Clears a discharge current imbalance alarm. The only selection is Yes. Once Yes is
selected and confirmed, the alarm clears.

• Specify Time
- Get Local Time from Connected PC: Allows you to automatically set the time. When selected, the controller will get
the same time as the connected PC.
- Date & Time: Allows you to manually set the date and time.
• Local Zone (for synchronization with time servers): When selected, the controller will get the local zone automatically or
you can enter the zone.
