Page 8-4 8 August 2017 Issue 2.4
Last Battery Test: shows the time/date and result of the most
recent battery test (manual or automatic).
Pressing BAT TESTF3 will start a manual battery test. The duration of
this battery test is determined by the system configuration (usually 1
minute). The test will not start if the mains power is off, or a battery test
(automatic or manual) is already in progress.
During the battery test, a progress indication will be displayed showing
the number of minutes remaining for the test. A manual battery test
cannot be cancelled once under way. The battery test lowers the battery
charger voltage (to 22-23V) so that the panel and loads are powered by
the battery.
The manual battery test function does not qualify as a
monthly battery test to the requirements of NZS 4512.
MX1 also carries out automatic battery tests. The scheduling and
duration of these tests are determined as part of the MX1 configuration,
and require no operator intervention under normal conditions.
By default the test will start at 9am on each working day and last for 60
minutes.
If the battery fails the automatic test the FAULTS indicator will light and
the failure will be logged in the Event History (see Chapter 4). Where
available, the service company will be notified.
The automatic battery test can be cancelled as follows.
From the base display press TESTS, INITIATEF4 , then MENU,
BATTERYF3 to view the Battery Test status screen.
