DS-5 AC-in-2

DS-3 Charging current
DS-2 Stand-alone mode
DS-1 Stand-alone mode
Step1, stand-alone
Example 1 (factory setting):
8, 7, 6 AC-in-1: 50A
5 AC-in-2: 30A
4, 3 Charging current: 75%
2, 1 Stand-alone mode
To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Up' button for 2 seconds (upper button to the right of
the DIP switches, see appendix A, position K). The overload and low-battery LED's will flash to indicate acceptance of the
settings.
We recommend making a note of the settings, and filing this information in a safe place.
The DIP switches can now be used to apply the remaining settings (step 2).
5.5.2 Step 2: Other settings
The remaining settings are not relevant for slaves.
Some of the remaining settings are not relevant for followers (L2, L3). These settings are imposed on the whole system by the
leader L1. If a setting is irrelevant for L2, L3 devices, this is mentioned explicitly.

ds6: absorption time 8 or 4 hours (not relevant for L2, L3)
ds5: adaptive charging characteristic (not relevant for L2, L3)
ds4: dynamic current limiter
ds3: UPS function
ds2: converter voltage
ds1: converter frequency (not relevant for L2, L3)
(the wide input frequency range (45-55Hz) is 'on' by default)
Note:
-
If "adaptive charging algorithm" is on, ds6 sets the maximum absorption time to 8 hours or 4 hours.
-
If "adaptive charging algorithm" is off, the absorption time is set to 8 hours or 4 hours (fixed) by ds6.
