Configuring The Equipment By Means Of The Internal Dip Switches - Studer VarioTrack VT-40 User Manual

If an Xtender inverter/charger is interconnected (communication) to a VarioTrack, the
Xtender battery cycle will be imposed to the VarioTrack of the system. This function may
be disabled by parameter {10037}. If no Xtender is connected to the VarioTrack, the latter
uses its own setting. In the case of an installation with several VarioTracks, the battery cycle
is also automatically synchronized.
It is also possible to make configurations specific to particular requirements of the system thanks to
the remote control RCC-02/03 described in the following chapter.
8.1 C
ONFIGURING THE EQUIPMENT BY MEANS OF THE INTERNAL
DIP switch 1 (first on the left) allows activating the settings defined by the DIP switch bank. This
activation will not be taken into account if the parameter {10054} does not allow it. When the settings
defined by the DIP switch bank are not activated, the default parameters (see list p. 48) are applied.
These parameters can be modified by means of the remote control RCC-02/-03.
If the default parameters (factory settings) are modified, the new values must be reported
in the parameter table p. 48 at the end of the manual which must remain on the installation
site at the disposal of the maintenance personnel.
When the VarioTrack is connected to other VarioTrack units via the communication bus, the settings
of the DIP switches must be the same for all the interconnected VarioTrack units. The charge cycle is
automatically synchronized and will be equivalent on all units.
When the VarioTrack is connected to Xtender inverter(s), the battery cycle is automatically
synchronized with the cycle and the values chosen by the Xtender. This synchronization is disabled
by parameter {10037}.
Pos. no. 1 Function
OFF DIP switches not taken into account. Default parameters, or those set by the remote
control RCC-02/03 are active.
ON DIP switches taken into account or synchronized by the Xtender if activated {10037}
and allowed {10054}.
DIP switches no. 2, 3 and 4 allow the battery cycle to be modified as per the table below in order to
adapt it to the various types of most common lead-acid batteries. The following values are for a 48V
system and must be divided by 2 or 4 in the 24V and 12V applications respectively.
