to exceed the total capacity of the rectifiers in the existing power system (or shut down some of the rectifiers in the existing
power system if the capacity of the external dry load bank is not sufficient).
a) Verify that the NCU power system starts taking the additional load as soon as the total capacity of the rectifiers in the
existing power system is exceeded.
2.11 FIAMM SoNick (Sodium Nickel) Batteries Interface
If a special configuration file is furnished, the NCU has capability to receive status information sent from FIAMM SoNick (Sodium
Nickel) batteries. Refer to the following for FIAMM SoNick (Sodium Nickel) battery interface notes.
2.11.1 FIAMM Battery Installation and User Instructions
The following instructions apply only when FIAMM 48TL200 batteries are used in a NetSure 721 Power System equipped with an NCU
FIAMM battery interface configuration.
Notes:
• NCU FIAMM battery configuration cannot be used with, or mixed with, batteries of other manufacturing types.
• A specific FIAMM NCU configuration is required in order for the controller to actively display FIAMM battery monitoring
parameters.
