Expanded Configuration - Multiplex LiPo-Saver 60A 2 6S Série Notice D'utilisation

6. Expanded configuration

The following settings can be adjusted on the
LiPo SAVER 2...6S using MULTIPLEX Launcher:
Battery type selection:
Your choice of battery type determines the warning
threshold for absolute low voltage. The figure for LiPo
batteries is 3.1 Volt. MULTIPLEX Launcher contains
information on other battery types.
Changing the early warning threshold:
We recommend that you always set the early warning
threshold to 0.2 Volt per cell above the absolute
low-voltage threshold (LiPo SAVER 2...6S - 60A),
or 0.4 Volt per cell above the absolute low-voltage
threshold (LiPo SAVER 2...6s). The absolute low-
voltage threshold varies according to battery type. If
you are using relatively old or poor-quality batteries it
is advisable to increase this value further.
Activating the overall voltage display:
We recommend that you assign an additional address
for overall battery voltage, as this makes it easier to
differentiate between the alarm displays:
The alarm for the user-variable early warning is gene-
rated at the overall voltage address.
The absolute low-voltage warning continues to be
generated at the individual cell voltage address, albeit
without the "-" prefix.
Use of the external current address:
When using the LiPo SAVER 2...6S it is possible to
activate a load-dependent assessment of the low-
voltage warning by entering the address of an external
current sensor for the actual current. This ensures that
sudden changes in load will not trigger "premature"
low-voltage warnings.
The LiPo SAVER 2...6S - 60 A provides the following
additional functions:
Residual capacity display:
The LiPo SAVER 2...6S - 60A provides a form of
electronic fuel gauge. If you enter a battery capacity,
the residual capacity display declines as current is
consumed.
Residual capacity alarm threshold:
At this point you can enter a value for residual capacity
below which the sensor generates an alarm. We
recommend a value of about 20%.
Example:
2000 mAh battery - warning threshold: 400 mAh.
Special feature:
The LiPo SAVER 2...6S - 60A features an intelligent
function which automatically detects and resets residual
capacity.
This works in the following way:
· If the sensor detects a fully charged battery, it
automatically adopts the battery capacity you have
entered, and uses that value as residual capacity.
If the sensor detects a part-charged battery, the detect
function behaves as follows:
· If the sensor detects the same battery as last used,
then it adopts the last stored residual capacity (but
only if the value for current was "0" for five seconds
before the battery was disconnected).
· If the sensor detects a different battery, then it
calculates the residual capacity based on the lowest
individual cell voltage, and the battery capacity
entered in MULTIPLEX Launcher.
