Battery Test Configuration

The battery test function is available for operation by the PowerLogic ADVC Controller by default. Otherwise it can be made available through Feature Selection in WSOS at:

Display > Configuration > Feature Selection > General

Or it can be made available on the operator interface for an ACR or AS.

Battery test can be configured and activated from WSOS on-line to the controller on the Battery Health Test page:

Display > Maintenance > Battery Health Test

Configurable settings and controls for the Battery Health Test feature in WSOS are listed and described in the table below.

Table 101 WSOS Battery Test configuration settings

Setting	Description
Automatic Test	This setting controls the pre-configured automatic battery testing. When set to Off, the scheduled battery test will not run. When set to Auto, the battery test will run according to the Frequency and Start Time settings. Options: Auto and Off. Factory default is Off.
Frequency	This is the interval in days between automatic tests when Automatic Test is set to Auto. Range: 1 to 31 days. Factory default is 7 days.
Start Time	This is the desired time of day of day that automatic tests will run according to the Frequency setting when Automatic Test is set to Auto. A scheduled test may be delayed due to conditions not suited to running the battery test for example, protection pickup, auxiliary supply off. Range: 00:00 to 23:30 in 30 minute steps. Factory default is 00:00.
Manual Test Start/Stop	This is the manual battery test control. Selecting the Start button will start the test providing a test is allowed at that time. Normally the Start button is active and the Stop button is inactive. While the test is running the Start button becomes inactive and the Stop button becomes active allowing the test to be aborted if required.
Rated Battery Capacity	Used to set the Amp hour capacity of the battery installed in the control cubicle. Options for Lead-Acid batteries (7.2 Ah or 12 Ah): Factory default is set to correspond to the battery installed at the factory. Options for LiFePO4 batteries (10 Ah): The option is blocked since there is only one possible capacity for this battery type.
Battery Type	This is a read-only field that displays the battery type which is configured. Range: Lead-Acid, LiFePO4, Unknown.
Battery Capacity	This read-only field displays the battery condition as determined by the result of the most recent battery test. Battery Capacity is set to Unknown until the first battery test is run. Range: Unknown, OK, Not OK. Factory default is Unknown.
Test Status	This is a read-only field that displays the status of the battery test. The status could be: Test Off – Ready - The battery test is able to be run Test Off – Wait - The battery test is not able to be run at this time Testing - The battery test is running
Abort Status	This read-only field will display Not aborted if the most recent test ran to completion. If the most recent test was manually stopped by an operator it will display: Abort Status: External Request A battery test may also be terminated by an unexpected condition such as a protection pickup. If this is the case, the reason for the test being aborted is displayed. For example, Abort Status: Protection Request Factory default is Not aborted

Some of the battery test settings and displays are identified differently on the operator interface compared to WSOS. The differences are described in the table below.

Table 102 Comparison of settings between WSOS and the Operator Interfaces

WSOS	Operator Interface
Automatic Test (Off/Auto)	Test Status (Off/Auto)
Frequency	Auto Test
Start Time	Test Time
Manual Test	These fields are combined on the **flexVUE and setVUE** O.I. They can be used to start a test manually and also display if the test is ready or in the Wait state.
Test Status (read-only)
Rated Battery Capacity	7.2/12 Ah Battery
