BATTERY PANEL

INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Battery Panel is used for monitoring the accumulator battery of
the reserve supply arrangement for the radio installations. Battery voltage and current are displayed on digital panel meters, and visual and
audible alarms are incorporated for warning of high/low battery voltage and failure of AC supply.
The Battery Panel is intended for installations with one or two batteries
(determined by internal jumper setting) and one or two battery chargers.
It contains separate alarm lamps for indication of high/low battery voltage for each battery, and separate alarm lamps for indication of AC
supply failure for each battery charger. With a push button switch it is
possible to switch the panel meters between monitoring battery 1 and
battery 2 in two battery installations.
The Battery Panel include dimmer, mute and test functions. The displays and keyboard are backlight illuminated.
The Battery Panel must be connected to a DC supply voltage of 21.6V
to 31.2V, normally the + 24V DC from the AC Power Supply/Charger.
In installations with two AC Power Supply/Chargers, the Battery Panel
contains an automatic switch which secures supply voltage as long as
just one of the AC Power Supply/Chargers are operating.
For current measurements the Battery Panel should be connected to
the AC Power Supply/Charger or Junction Box Shunt containing fuses
and a shunt resistor.

BATTERY PANEL

INTRODUCTION
The voltage and current meters are supplied from the battery itself and
will operate down to a battery voltage of 10 V. The audible alarm and
visual indicators are supplied from the + 24 V DC of the AC Power
Supply/Charger allowing low voltage alarm in case of battery failure.

OPERATION
Mute the alarm sound
The alarm sound is muted by pressing MUTE/TEST.
A new event will reactivate the alarm sound.
Switch between batteries
To switch between Battery 1 and Battery 2, press BATT 1-2 briefly.
Applicable for 2 battery installations.
Test the Battery Panel
Press MUTE/TEST for 2 seconds to initiate a self test.
All lamps, backlight and alarm sound are activated.
Adjust the light intensity
Press DIM to adjust the light intensity.
The dimmer button controls the intensity of the lamps and backlight in
four levels. The light in the alarm lamps can not be turned fully off.

Adjustment of High voltage alarm threshold for Battery 1:
1. Apply an input voltage set to the wanted threshold value to the
terminals + VBAT and - VBAT.
2. Adjust R84 (see figure pos. 1) until high battery alarm is indicated.
3. Decrease the input voltage by 0.5V and check that the alarm stops.
If not repeat the adjustment.
Adjustment of Low voltage alarm threshold for Battery 1:
1. Apply an input voltage set to the wanted threshold value to the
terminals + VBAT and - VBAT.
2. Adjust R83 (see figure pos. 2) until low battery alarm is indicated.
3. Increase the input voltage by 0.5V and check that the alarm stops.
If not repeat the adjustment.
