The USB port is provided to give a simple means of connection between a PC and the DSE9400 series battery charger. Using the DSE Configuration Suite Software, the operator is then configure and monitor the state of the battery charger.
One advantage of the RS485 interface is the large distance specification (1.2km) when using Belden 9841 (or equivalent) cable. This allows for a large distance between the battery charger and a PC running the DSE Configuration Suite software. The operator is then able to view the various operating parameters.

Operation 6 OPERATION The DSE battery charger can be used as a battery charger, DC power supply, or both at the same time. For instance, the unit can be used to power the generator control panels and charge the panel batteries or starter batteries at the same time.
Operation Charging time Charge time is often of little consequence when the battery is used in a standby operation. An example of this is when the battery is used to supply the starting system of a diesel generator. During normal operation, the battery is at full capacity and the battery charger is used to maintain the float voltage of the battery.
