6.5 Program Selection

6.5.1 Principles of Program Selektion

All working programs of the UL 10 device have digital designations:
- The first digit represents the operation type
- The second and third digits represent the battery type
6.5.1.1 Types of Operation
6.5.1.1.1 Discharge (=Operation type 0)
Any battery with the nominal voltage within up to 40 V can be discharged with the UL 10 device;
with the discharge current up to 40 А. It is performed with discharge load circuits that enable to
bring the battery's voltage to 0 V. The energy the battery receives is dissipated into the
environment by radiators and fans.
6.5.1.1.2 Commissioning (=Operation type 1)
Depending on the process of manufacture of batteries the manufacturer delivers them charged or
uncharged. Deliveries are possible via intermediate storages.
Battery manufacturers provide only the instructions how to use them before their first start, the in-
structions may differ depending on the manufacturing processes. For some manufacturers the pa-
rameters of commissioning of the batteries are saved in the UL 10 memory depending on the battery
type.
6.5.1.1.3 Charging (=Operation type 2)
To fulfill the «CHARGING» operation the memory of the UL 10 device contains programs of charg-
ing of each battery type recommended by manufacturers or specified by the customer. The pro-
grams required for optimum charging of batteries run fully automatic. In the process of charging the
validity of the input battery data is checked, primarily the following:
- Initial voltage
- Final voltage after charging
- Current at the charging start
- Current at the charging end
- Charging duration
- Temperature
After the charging process is over the battery condition is rated. Faulty batteries are identified and
marked as faulty according to the program used.
6.5.1.1.4 Maintenance (=Operation type 4)
This program serves to analyze the condition of the battery that the user of the UL 10 is unaware of.
This program enables:
- To achieve the maximum possible power
- To determine fitness of a battery for further use
- To re-charge the battery for further use.
The battery type is selected in 7 stages. The user is guaranteed failure-free operation of the battery
after it is checked. The batteries need periodic servicing and maintenance. Such maintenance is
performed using operations type 4.
