11.8. ContactOn the Setup menu, click Contact to display the Contact dialog box.Figure 16. Setup - ContactThe Contact dialog box is an information screen and has no effect on tests. Type the names ofpersons responsible for the system at the site and for service, and their telephone numbers ande-mail addresses.11.9. Voltage PolarityThe BCT-2000 systems features automatic polarity sensing, and no user input is required.The system senses when Cell 1 is the most positive or the most negative cell in the string.30
12. Running the TestAt this point, the BCT-2000 must be connected as described in Connecting the System and themain menu displayed. On the main menu, click Test. The BCT Test screen displays all relevantinformation for monitoring test progress and parameters in a real time mode.OV, Amps, KW, and Capacity - The top of the screen indicates battery OV (overall voltage),load in amps, power in kilowatts, and the present capacity of the battery. (The capacity iscalculated only during a Performance or Modified Performance test.)Intertier - The Intertier area displays the voltage of each intertier. Single click on a bar to displaythe value of an intertier. Double-click the graph to increase it to full screen. In this mode, thegraph does not update. To return to normal view, press ESC.Figure 17. BCT TestNudge - Next to the Amps value are arrows that slightly increase or decrease (nudge) the loadwithin target when in the auto mode. When controlling the load, the BCT is considered on targetwhen the target current plus 1.5% of target current plus 1.5 amps is achieved. For example, on aload of 500 amps, the BCT-2000 could set the load at 500 amps plus 1.5% (7.5 amps) plus 1.5amps, or as high as 509 amps. The Nudge control lets you change the load to move the currentcloser to 500 amps.Duration and Test Time - Individual cells or modules are displayed in a bar graph format.Presently active step duration and target value, in amps or watts, are in the lower left of thescreen. The Test Time area displays the present step total test times.31
