State changes from Charging States or Charge Off State requires a discharge of
more than 1% of overall battery capacity. Depending on the overall battery capacity
this may take several minutes.

3.1
Start-up
During start-up the System operates in the initial charge (also called start charge) cycle:
1. Lowers the System Voltage down to 44V
2. Increase Voltage until the Battery Voltage is reached
3. Increase Voltage until the charge limit is reached This state is called constant
current
4. During charging batteries the voltage is raising until the set Voltage of 54.5V is
reached (without violating the charge limit) changing to state constant voltage
5. Stay for 2 hours (initial charge time) in constant Voltage
6. Switch to Idle (also called Charge Off) state
The initial charge guarantees fully charged batteries before switching to the normal operation
state. This allows a much more accurate handling of batteries during the normal system
operation. During start up/initial charge it is not possible to start a battery test. It is also not
possible to cancel or stop the initial charge.
3.2
Idle/Charge Off
The normal operation state is called Idle or Charge Off State. This is the only state, which
allows battery tests.

Discharge/Boost Discharge
If the AC fails and the batteries are discharge for more than 1% of their capacity (2Ah for the
example system) the system switches its state to Discharge:
1. AC-Fail
2. Discharge Batteries for more than 1% of their capacity
3. Switch to Discharge State
4. 30min discharge (5Ah discharge)
4. 3hours discharge (60Ah discharge)
system Voltage follows the battery Voltage
system Voltage follows the battery Voltage
5. Stay in discharge state
5. Switch to boost discharge state
If the discharge is greater than 10% of the overall capacity of the batteries the system will
switch to boost discharge state.
3.4
Charge/Boost Charge
On AC back, the system will switch to the charge or boost charge state. This depends on the
state reached within discharge cycle.
1. AC back switch to charge state
2. Increase Voltage until charge limit
reached constant current
3. During charging batteries the voltage
raising until the set Voltage of 54.5V
reached (without violating the charge limit)
changing to state constant voltage

If not required, the complete boost discharge and charge handling can be disabled. If
disabled, only the normal discharge and charge handling is used.

Battery Test
A Battery Test simulates an AC fail and measures the related data:
With the measured data and the user provided test thresholds (Duration, Ah to discharge, Fail
Voltage, Warning Voltage) a result is calculated.
1. Start Battery Test
2. Rectifier Voltage is decreased down to -40V simulates an AC fail
3. From now on the handling (discharge and charge) is completely the same as if a real
AC fail occurs.
Since there is no difference in battery handling between a Battery Test and a real AC fail,
each AC fail triggers a Battery Test, a so-called AC-Fail Test. There is only one difference
between a real Battery Test and an AC-Fail Test: if the AC supply is back during an AC-Fail
Test, the test is countered as stopped with no valid result.
