4.3.16 CellGuard Battery Settings

Each string of batteries must be configured in the Edit->CellGuard menu. Each string has four alarm trip points
(thresholds) in ascending order: major under, minor under, minor over, and major over. You can choose the values
for each of the thresholds on all channels. As with the other alarms, you can designate whether or not to send an
SNMP trap when a threshold is crossed. SNMP version 2C is used for all CellGuard Traps. The thresholds must
be set from to
Under Over
–5, 5 and 10 corresponding respectively to major under, minor under, minor over and major over is valid.

values can be used, but DPS recommends using the reference value provided for your
specific battery. (See CellGuard User Manual Appendix for values)
This clears the adaptive reference conductance value for each battery back to the
original reference setting. This box does not stay checked. The values are reset
immediately when the "submit data" button is clicked.
Enables optional Cellguard VTC module.
Adaptive reference accounts for new batteries whose actual conductance reading
may be larger than the rated conductance rating. This setting allows the reference
conductance to rise individually with each battery and gives a more accurate life
estimate for each battery.
