PROGRAMMING SETTINGS

Programming Settings

Settings App

The Settings app has eight icons that grant the user
access to different programming parameters. Each
icon is selected using the touch screen and each will
open a series of screens that settings can be input.
General
The first screen in the General Settings menu contains
the following parameters. The interface uses the
touchscreen to navigate and input boxes, dropdown
menus, and toggle switches are used to program pa-
rameters.
EPID – Extended PAN ID. This is the network ID utilized
in PCInsight downloads and Insight Cloud communica-
tions. The default is network 00.
Fixed Battery Amp Hour – This is the programmable
amp hour settings If battery modules are not present,
this value is what the charger uses to determine it's
charge profile. BID and WBID modules will override this
settings if they are detected.
Fixed Temperature – This is the setting for the average
battery temperature. If no BID's or WBID's are present,
this is the value the charger will use to compensate
gassing voltage. This setting does not affect BID's.
Max Battery Temperature – The maximum battery
temperature for the battery while charging is in
progress. If BID or WBID modules reach this
temperature, the charger will wait for the battery to cool
5 degrees Fahrenheit below this threshold to continue
charging.
Fixed Cells – This is the programmed cell size for the
charger. Multicell mode and BID/WBID modules will
override this setting.
9-1
NOTE: A charger will not be able to output a higher
voltage or current than what it is rated. It will
electronically protect itself from overheating by pulling
the output back or ending the charge cycle.
Display Backlight – The backlight of the control board
can be set to three levels of light intensity. Low,
medium, and high.
Charger ID – The charger's ID is the number
designation for the charger. This is how the charger will
be identified on PCInsight or the Insight Cloud.
Cool Down Hours – The charger can be set to display
cool down hours after a charge cycle. This indicates to
the user that the battery needs to cool before use. It can
be set from 0 hours to 24. The default is 0.
Display Temperature Compensated Voltage - Select
to display voltages after temperature compensation.
Values reported on the Dashboard will show actual
voltage of the battery when you adjust for it's
temperature.
Password – Select to enable password protection. A
lock icon will be shown in the bottom right corner. If it is
red, click the icon to input the password in order to
modify control settings. If it is green, it is not locked.
Multicell Mode - Select to enable the automatic cell
selection mode of operation for the charger. When
multi-cell mode is selected, the charger cannot
automatically recognize the difference between 36 and
40 cell sizes. Therefore, the Max Cell Size in that mode
must be programmed to 36 or 40 cells. Regardless of
this setting 36 or 40 cell batteries with properly
programmed Prestolite BID modules will be charged
correctly.
Screen Saver – Display will go blank after 3 minutes in
order to save power. Touch the display to wake the
control.
