Configuration File; Backup And Restore - Eaton APS3-400 Series Installation And Operation Manual

Access Power Solutions Installation Guide (APS3-400 Series)

Configuration File

The operational settings of the dc power system are stored in a configuration file loaded into the
SC200 or SC100 system controller.
The SC200 or SC100 is supplied pre-loaded with a configuration file. If this configuration file
has been customized for the site then no further configuration changes will be necessary.
Otherwise, it is important that the settings of this configuration file are checked and changed as
required for site-specific conditions. In particular, settings that may affect the performance and
life expectancy of the battery must be checked and set according to the battery manufacturer's
recommendations.
Some settings in the configuration file can be edited using the system controller's keypad (see
details on page 42), or all settings can be edited using a PC/laptop with DCTools/Web (see
details on page 44) or remotely, see Communications Options in the System Controller
Operation Handbook.

Backup and Restore

The configuration file settings in the SC200 or SC100 can be saved to (Backup) or loaded from
(Restore) a PC/laptop using DCTools/Web.
