Installing the System Controller
1. Unpack the system controller and inspect for damage.
2. Insert the system controller module in the leftmost slot of the shelf, slide it toward the rear and lock it in the
slot with the faceplate latch.
Installing the Rectifier Modules
1. Unpack the rectifier modules and inspect for damage.
2. Insert the rectifiers (up to the number of rectifiers required) in slots 1 through 4 of the shelf. Slide each
rectifier toward the rear of the shelf and lock it in place with the faceplate latch.
The rectifier latches must be open for installation. Attempting to install the rectifiers with the latches closed will result
in mechanical damage to the rectifiers and the self. The rectifiers will start in high fan speed mode and reduce their
speed according to the ambient and plant conditions within 10 seconds. As each rectifier is installed, the controller
automatically identifies the new rectifier and reconfigures the system. After all rectifiers have been installed, and if
there are no alarms present, the controller will display "System OK". If there are alarms present, refer to Valere
Compact DC Power System Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual for troubleshooting assistance.
Controller Set Up
The controller is factory equipped with default settings to assure safe power up operation. The controller front
display and three-button keypad can be used to configure the controller. The UP and DN buttons are used to scroll
through the functions and the MENU button is used to select and/or drop down into a sub-menu.
There are three controller menu levels, Basic, Advanced, and Administrator. When the controller displays "System
OK", the controller is at the Basic menu level. The UP/DN buttons can be used to sequentially view basic plant
parameters such as float voltage and plant current, temperature compensation state, battery temperature (if thermal
probe is equipped), and internal plant temperature. By holding the MENU button down for 5 seconds, the Advanced
level is accessed. All plant parameters can be viewed from this level by scrolling to and selecting "Review." Follow
the menu tree for exact navigation directions. By scrolling to and selecting "Log In', the Administrator level is
accessed. The default username is "Admin" (case sensitive) and the default password is "5001". This level allows
you to make changes to all plant settings. Enter the password by using the MENU button to select the number
(character to be selected flashes) in the password and using the UP/DN buttons to toggle to the next character.
Toggle to the right most arrow key and press MENU to enter.
Verify Plant Voltage and Current
With the display showing "System OK", press up button once. Controller will display plant voltage and current
Post Test
Check for the following items after the installation and verification procedures have been completed.
1. Verify that each of the rectifiers is operational.
2. Return all Battery Circuit Breakers (with battery strings attached to them) to the On position.
If the batteries' storage temperature exceeds 32°C (90°F), their open circuit time should not
WARNING
exceed 4 months.
For maximum safety, do not handle the batteries during their initial 24 hour charging period.
