System Overview
The flexi compact range is designed to allow a customised DC power solution with all of the
benefits of a standard “off the shelf” system.
The system is intended to be a complete power system in a box with no connections needed
to be made internally. The system is designed to be extremely simple to install and set up.
All the AC and DC (Load and Battery) connections are made from the front of the unit. Alarm
connections are also accessible from the front by opening the hinged front cover.
By adding smart distribution modules, the system can be customised to suit most
requirements whilst maintaining a robust and smart user experience.
Note: This system is supplied with the AC and DC earths connected. The standard system
output has the DC Common in the positive side of the circuit (+ve earth system).
The earth link can be removed from the system to isolate earths.

Energy Manager
The flexiCompact range has been designed to incorporate the Enatel SM36 energyManager
supervisory module.
The SM36 includes a large backlit LCD screen with tactile buttons to allow system
parameters and alarms to be easily seen and menu options to allow local adjustment to be
made.
There are 3 LED indicators on the system front panel that indicates the operational state of
the complete system giving a summary of the parameters monitored and are controlled by
the SM36.
• The green LED indicates that DC power is connected to the unit and that the monitor
is functioning.
• The yellow LED indicates a Non-Urgent alarm state within the system.
• The red LED indicates an Urgent alarm state within the system.
Mapping of the LEDs can be modified as required.
USB connection allows connection of a PC to the supervisory module. The control

parameters of the monitor are set using a configuration file that can be loaded through this
interface. Systems are supplied preconfigured with a default configuration file. A backup of
this file can be found included on the CD supplied with the flexiCompact system.

Rectifier Modules
The flexiCompact range has been designed to accommodate Enatel 2kW rectifier modules.
Rectifier modules are fan cooled, hot pluggable and include a local LED alarm summary for
each module.
There are 3 LED indicators on the front panel indicate the operational state of the rectifier.
• The green LED indicates that mains power is connected to the unit and that the
primary stages of the rectifier are operating.
• The yellow LED indicates a Non-Urgent alarm state within the rectifier.
• The red LED indicates an Urgent alarm state within the rectifier.

Modules are secured into the flexiCompact system by one of the following 2 methods:

Installation
Installation Best Practices
Rectifiers
• Do not operate the rectifier if the covers are damaged or removed in any way
• Electrical hazards exist inside the rectifier; at no point should the cover be removed.
Servicing must be completed by fully trained technicians.
• The rectifier contains voltages that may be lethal even after the input supply has been
removed
• The rectifier contains components at high temperatures that may burn if touched
• Installation of the rectifiers should only be completed once the site has been
completed and cleaned to avoid concrete and plaster dust being ingested into
rectifiers.
DC Power System
• Use extreme care when fixing all AC and DC connections.
• Remove all jewellery and rings from oneself prior to commencing the installation.
• Always use insulated tools and take extreme care not to short terminals when working
on them.
• A minimum of 1U (44.5mm) space is required above the installed unit to allow cable
access to the top of the unit. A blank panel should be installed above the unit to
prevent recirculation of heated air from the rear of the unit.
• The space directly behind the DC power system should be clear to allow heated
exhaust air to be dissipated. A rear ventilated cabinet is recommended.
• Unoccupied rectifier spaces should be filled with blank panels to prevent recirculation
of heated air from the rear of the unit.
• Ensure all incoming cables have adequate strain relief.

Battery
• Use extreme care when fitting batteries & their connections.
• Remove all jewellery and rings from oneself prior to commencing the installation.
• Wear eye protection when working near batteries
• Always use insulated tools and take extreme care not to short terminals when
working on them.
• Be aware of battery fumes and electrolyte
• Keep naked flames away from batteries on charge
• Do not dispose of batteries in the garbage
• Always recycle lead acid batteries

Unpacking & Installing in Frame
Upon unpacking, check that the unit is not damaged, and that you have the required number
of rectifier modules.
The flexiCompact unit fits into a standard 19” mounting frame (450mm between the inside of
19” rails). Remove the shipping brackets prior to fitment. M6 mounting screws should be
used to mount the unit in the frame securely.
Please note the complete system weight when fitted with rectifier modules is substantial.
Ensure the 19” mounting rails are able to withstand mounting of the system. System weights
are specified in the flexiCompact dimensions and weights table (refer to page 6).
Clearances
The flexiCompact DC System has a maximum depth of 360mm behind the 19” mounting
brackets and protrudes forward 20mm from this point.
With the Supervisory Module folded forward for terminal or breaker access, the door
measures a maximum of 120mm from the 19” rail mount. Ensure adequate clearance is
provided to allow for full extension of the monitor door.
The rear of the rectifier shelf should be kept clear of obstructions to allow heated exhaust air
to exit either through a ventilated rear panel or the top of the cabinet. Any unused rectifier
positions should be fitted with a blank panel to prevent unwanted recirculation of heated
exhaust air.
Installation in a 19” cabinet will require a minimum of 1U space directly above the unit to
allow for cable exit from the front/top termination access. A blank panel should be fitted
above the unit to prevent any recirculating air.

AC Connection
The flexiCompact system is supplied fitted with a set of 3-phase AC input circuit breakers as
standard. An optional AC surge protection device internally fitted to the flexiCompact solution
can be included during the order process for factory fitment or purchased at a later date in kit
form to allow fitment during commissioning.
The information in this manual covers installation of both the standard AC circuit breaker and
factory fitted SPD configurations. Fitment of the kit form SPD device at commissioning stage
is covered in a separate document that is supplied with the SPD kit. Please refer to your
local Enatel distributor for further information.
Upstream Over-current Protection
There are two considerations to take into account when selecting an appropriate upstream
fuse or circuit breaker.
1. The upstream protection should be sized to protect the downstream cable from
overload situations.
2. Discrimination should be maintained with the downstream device protection device.
Cable Rating
The upstream protection device must be able to supply the maximum current drawn by the
DC power system under all conditions without tripping.
Note: The current carrying capacity of cables is dependent on the type and length of cable
used and the manner in which it is installed.
Please check with local regulations and suppliers for appropriate sizing.

Discrimination
Discrimination ensures that the upstream circuit breaker or fuse does not activate before the
downstream device internal fuse has an opportunity to activate in the case of the unit failing
short circuit. Therefore it is important to ensure the upstream protection discriminates with
the internal fuse of the rectifier.
Surge Protection Device (SPD)
Type 1
A Type 1 surge arrester is the first stage of the electrical network's protection. It is important
that Type 1 protection is fitted in any installation's main electrical switchboard and is capable
of diverting the energy of a direct lightning strike.
Type 2
A Type 2 surge arrester should be used in coordination with the main (Type 1) incoming
surge arrester. This is the second stage of protection. Type 2 Surge arrester is designed to
run-off energy caused by an overvoltage comparable to that of an indirect lightning strike or
an operating overvoltage.
The Enatel flexiCompact has an option to include a Type 2 Surge Protection Device in the
AC input section of the power system.
Type 3
The Enatel RM2048 range includes an input stage that contains components that are
compliant with EN61000-4-5. This is equivalent with a Type 3 surge protection device
without any external/upstream surge suppression.

Feeder Cable
To ensure correct operation of the SPDs, at least 10m of AC feeder cable is required to be
fitted between the Type 1 and Type 2 protection. If the distance is less than 10m, then loop
the cable until at least 10m of cable is used. This ensures correct de-coupling of the SPD
devices. Avoid running input and output cables from AC Surge Protection Devices together.

Note: To maintain a coordinated approach to surge suppression, Type 2 SPD should be

installed upstream if it is not fitted in the DC system as well as the Type 1 protection
device installed at the main electrical switchboard.
Damage sustained from power surges or electrical storms is not covered by the
standard factory warranty, it is the responsibility of the installer to ensure the
appropriate protection is fitted upstream of the rectifier modules.

AC Termination
Access to the AC input section of the power system is made by undoing the thumb screws
securing the front panel of the flexiCompact system and folding it down to a level sufficient to
give clear and unrestricted access to the breakers.
The incoming AC termination is made by cable to the input circuit breakers for live phases
and to the terminal blocks marked for earth and neutral. All AC terminals can accept up to
16mm2 cables.
The AC earth terminal is connected directly to the system chassis.

AC Terminal Cover
Once AC termination is completed, the supplied AC terminal cover should be installed to

protect from possibilities of contact with the incoming AC voltages.
• Connect the incoming AC cables and ensure terminals are tightened to the correct
torque.

• Insert the AC terminal cover into the
slots provided in the top cover

DC Connection
The internal battery bus connects the battery circuit breakers via a Low Voltage Disconnect
(LVD) contactor and current shunt to the internal live bus. The load bus connects the load
circuit breakers directly to the internal live bus.
Operation of the Battery LVD will disconnect all loads from the battery when the bus voltage
reduces below an adjustable set-point following a prolonged AC outage. The SM36
supervisory module is normally powered from the internal live bus but also connects to a
secondary supply direct from the battery to allow monitoring of the system in the case of an
LVD event.
An option to include a secondary Partial Load Low Voltage Disconnect can be made during
the order process for factory fitment or kit form to allow fitment during commissioning. This
allows the monitor to initially disconnect non-essential loads after some discharge (voltage
set point is adjustable) to extend backup time of the essential circuits in an installation.
Figure 2.5: DC Breaker and Common Terminal Layout*
* Breaker configuration can change depending on system specifications, please consult

specifications of the individual system to ensure correct terminations.

Battery Connection
Access to the battery distribution section of the power system is made by undoing the thumb
screws securing the front panel of the flexiCompact system and folding it down to a level
sufficient to give clear and unrestricted access to the breakers.
Battery Common (+ve)
All Battery Common connections are made to the connectors placed behind the Circuit
breakers. 2 sizes of common terminals are available to accept cables up to 16mm 2 and
35mm2.
Battery Live (-ve)
Battery Live cables are connected directly to the terminals at the top of the circuit breakers.
Battery breaker terminals are sized to accept cables up to 35mm 2.
Ensure all incoming cables are strain relieved adequately.
Load Connection
Access to the load output section of the power system is made by undoing the thumb screws
give clear and unrestricted access to the breakers.
Load Common (+ve)
All Load Common connections are made to the connectors placed behind the Circuit
breakers. 2 sizes of common terminals are available to accept cables up to 16mm 2 and
35mm2.
Note: Cables smaller than 6mm2 should be terminated to the 16mm2 connectors to ensure
adequate clamping force.

Load Live (-ve)
Load Live cables are connected directly to the terminals at the top of the circuit breakers.
Load breaker terminals are sized to accept cables up to 16mm 2.
Load distributions that include a secondary load LVD (LLVD) are split into 2 sections to allow
prioritisation of the connected loads. Non-priority loads are removed from circuit prior to the
primary battery LVD operation to extend the time of operation of the priority loads. Load
distributions in systems without the secondary LLVD are all removed from circuit together at
the battery LVD disconnect point.
Please refer to the specification of the system to determine which breakers are priority and
non-priority loads (if optioned).
Ensure all incoming cables are strain relieved adequately.
LVD Operation
The primary Low Voltage Disconnect contactor is located in the battery side of the DC
distribution. A secondary Load Low Voltage Disconnect can be optionally included in a
section of the load side of the DC distribution.
The LVD contactor is a bi-stable, magnetically latching contactor. This means that failure of
power or removal of the SM36 from a live system will not cause the contactor to change
state. Periodic pulsing of the LVD control signal allows the monitor to ensure the contactor
remains in the correct state. The contactor is monitored by the SM36 to allow an alarm to be
generated when the contactor is open.
The SM36 supervisory monitor unit is powered from both the rectifier side of the LVD
contactor and direct from the battery source. Following an extended AC outage and the low
output voltage threshold being reached, the primary LVD disconnects the battery from the
system live bus and the SM36 will lose voltage sense (as voltage sense is measuring
system live bus voltage) yet still maintains operation for system monitoring. The LVD
contactor will not re-engage until rectifier input supply is restored (i.e., until the DC bus
voltage is re-established).
Alarm/Ancillary Cabling
Access to the power system monitor is made by undoing the thumb screws securing the
front panel of the flexiCompact system and folding it down to a level sufficient to give clear
and unrestricted access to the terminals.
Alarm and communication cables terminate directly into the SM36 Supervisory Module.
Alarm cables can be made to enter/exit through either side of the front cover or fed through
and out the top or rear of the system. When routing the cables, ensure they are kept away
from the AC and DC power cables when possible and adequate strain relief is made.

This section relates primarily to the terminations of alarms and ancillary cabling of the SM36
supervisory module contained within the flexiCompact systems.
Figure 2.6: SM36 External I/O Layout
Relays
Alarms can be mapped to any of the voltage free output relays fitted to the SM36 supervisory
module. Output states of either Normally Open or Normally Closed can be selected (NO and
NC states are for the de-energised relay). A jumper is fitted to nominate the required output
state, ensure the jumper is placed in the correct configuration for installation requirements.
If an alarm is programmed for the relay to be normally energised (such as a low voltage
alarm where loss of power will put the alarm into its “active” state), then be sure to connect
the remote wiring appropriately.
Note: Relay 1 is hardware set as a “Monitor Fail” alarm. This alarm activates if the monitor
has a hardware fault or if software becomes corrupted.
The flexiCompact relays are preconfigured as follows:

Relay 1: Monitor Fail alarm (hardware set, cannot be reconfigured)
Relay 2: Summary Non-urgent alarm
Relay 3: Summary Urgent alarm
Relay 4: User Configured
Alarm mapping should be completed in the supervisory module software.
Temperature Sensor
The flexiCompact system is supplied with a 3m battery temperature sensor as standard, a

option to include an ambient temperature sensor can be made during the order process for
factory fitment or kit form to allow fitment during commissioning.
The temperature sensor is supplied coiled behind the SM36 Supervisory monitor attached to
the front door of the system.
During installation, uncoil the battery temperature sensor and place in a location close to the
centre of the battery strings. The purpose of the battery temperature sensor is to monitor the
ambient temperature of the batteries over long periods of time and adjust the rectifier output
(float) voltage accordingly. As a result, it is not necessary to have the temperature sensor
directly touching the batteries.
When fitted, the ambient temperature sensor should be mounted in a location where the air
temperature is representative of the air temperature within the region being monitored.
Both temperature sensors must be installed away from direct sunlight and draughts to
ensure readings are a true representation of the measurement required.
If either temperature sensor is removed or fails, a temperature fault alarm is generated on

the SM36 monitor.
If during installation it is found the lead is not long enough, any ordinary 2-core copper
(approx. 0.75mm2) wire can be used as an extension. Ensure the connections made are
secure and well insulated to prevent temperature readings which could cause unwanted
alarms or damaging temperature compensation errors in the float voltage applied to the
batteries.

General Purpose Inputs (GPIP)
General purpose inputs allow the flexiCompact system to monitor any external equipment
that includes relay or auxiliary outputs. The GPIP inputs are activated by connecting the
system positive (common) to the input terminal (configuration setup in the SM36 can allow
activation by connecting to system live).
General purpose inputs can also be configured as analogue inputs for purposes such as
battery midpoint monitoring and voltage monitoring.
These inputs may be assigned to contribute to alarm states within the monitor. The state
mapping is defined in the monitor configuration file. Alarm mapping should be completed
using the SM3x supervisory module software.
Circuit Breaker Fail Monitoring
Battery Breaker Monitoring
Battery circuit breakers are monitored via a voltage measurement taken across the breaker to
detect tripping (or manually opened). When a battery breaker is open, there may be very
little voltage difference between the rectifier live bus and the battery live terminal, making
typical electronic fail detection methods problematic.
If no battery is connected, an open breaker will still generate a Battery Breaker Fail alarm.
The breaker must be closed to clear a Battery Breaker Fail alarm.
Note: The Battery MCB Fail alarm relies on the battery voltage being measurably different
to the system bus voltage. Due to measurement tolerances it may take some time
for the alarm threshold to be reached before the alarm is activated when a battery
breaker is physically turned “off” in non-operational test circumstances.

Load Breaker Monitoring
Load circuit breakers are monitored electronically via a diode to a general purpose input on the
SM36. The input will trigger an alarm when it is pulled to the system common (positive) rail.
To operate the load breaker fail alarm, a load must be connected to the circuit breaker. In
this way, false alarms are avoided when no load is connected and the load circuit breaker is
in the “off” position.
Note: Because of the connection with a diode, a small residual voltage can be measured
across an open load termination even when the circuit breaker is turned off (when
measured with high sensitivity digital meters). This voltage is high impedance and
does not present a hazard to the user. The voltage is only apparent when a load is
disconnected.

Commissioning
The following set of instructions is meant as a guide for commissioning and testing of the
flexiCompact system. The use of these instructions is recommended unless different
procedures are suggested by local authorities.
Pre-check:
Before commissioning commences, ensure the following processes are completed.
1. All building work on site is complete to avoid concrete and plaster dust being ingested
into rectifiers and systems.
2. System installation is completed. All terminations are made and secure.
3. Battery and load circuit breakers are turned off, and upstream AC has been turned off.
Note: This system is available supplied configured with the AC earth connected to the
internal positive bus (positive earth). Before connecting the Batteries or Rectifiers
ensure that the earthing is correct for your application.

4. Turn on upstream AC and check that voltages from phase to neutral are as expected.
Once measurements are complete, turn off upstream AC supply.
Start-up
Rectifier Modules
1. Initially rectifier modules should be unpacked and fitted into their shelf positions but
pulled forward enough to disconnect them from the system. Packaging should be cleared
from site to prevent tripping hazard.
2. Turn the upstream AC circuits on.
3. Fully insert first rectifier, wait for the rectifier to start and its power on LED to remain
green. The rectifier non-urgent alarm LED (amber) will initially light to indicate rectifier is
soft starting. This will turn off once the module output voltage reaches normal operating
levels (up to 10 seconds depending on the input AC voltage).

4. Check the SM36 powers up and displays the system default float voltage once the
rectifier soft start has completed. The audible alarm will activate indicating alarms are
active in the system. This is expected as load and battery breakers are open, however
ensure that all active alarms are examined before pressing any SM36 button to silence
the buzzer.
5. Fully insert the remaining rectifiers ensuring they power on. The non-urgent alarm LED
(amber) on each unit will initially illuminate to indicate rectifiers are soft starting. Once
started, the non-urgent alarm will be deactivated and each module will have only the
power on green LED illuminated.
6. Check that both the load and battery currents on the SM36 are reading 0 amps (± 1% of
full load).
Monitor Configuration
1. If a different system float voltage or other parameters is required, set these using the
specified procedure. Default settings are appropriate to the system specification and
typical user requirements.
2. Check that all SM36 configuration settings are correct (as per customer specification)
with respect to: - Voltage levels
- Alarm settings
- Alarm mappings to the volts-free relays
Battery Start-up
Note: It is recommended that battery circuit breaker connections should be made when
the rectifiers are turned on and the system is “live”. This is because the system
voltage and battery voltages will be similar, minimising any arcing during
connection. This also prevents high current arcing due to the charging of the rectifier
output capacitors.
1. Power up only one rectifier initially (to limit any damage if any connections are incorrect).

2. Measure the voltage across each battery string at the terminals of the Compact System.
Ensure that the reading from the DC Common bus to the Battery Live Terminals is -48V
(approximately) as per system specification.
3. Turn on each battery circuit breaker in succession while measuring the each battery
voltage. Ensure that the voltage increases slightly to the system Float Voltage (typically
the voltage will increase from 2-3V below float to float voltage. At this point the batteries
will be drawing some current to bring them to a full state of charge.
Load Start-up
1. Ensure downstream load connections have been made and there are no loose/floating
load cables.
2. Turn on the load circuit breakers. Ensure that the downstream equipment powers up as
expected.
3. Confirm the system float voltage on the SM36 is at the level previously noted.
4. Ensure the load current is as expected for the connected loads.
Note: Prior to leaving the system after it has been commissioned, ensure all AC, DC
loads and battery circuits are off. If it is required that the system is to be left on (to
power load equipment or to float charge batteries), ensure rectifiers are left in their
powered up state and batteries are in circuit. This will prevent leaving the batteries
only powering the load causing them to go flat.

System Monitoring
This section relates primarily to the interface of the SM36 supervisory module contained
within the flexiCompact systems. Configuration of the power system monitor can be made
utilising the LCD and front panel buttons, USB interface with local PC software or over a
network using Ethernet connection.
Interface Options
Front Panel Interface
The flexiCompact can be monitored locally utilising the front panel of the SM36 supervisory
monitor with LCD display, alarm LED’s and keypad. These are used to:
• display metered values
• display active alarms
• access the menu for setting up the system parameters The display menu is
navigated using the three keys next to the display.
The following LED indicators are provided on the monitor front panel:
This green LED indicates the monitor has power and is operating correctly.
This yellow LED indicates an alarm is active. This LED is configured to indicate a Non-
Urgent Alarm state has occurred.
This red LED indicates an alarm is active. This LED is configured to indicate an Urgent
Alarm has occurred.
The monitors are fitted with an audible buzzer which can be configured to alert to any
alarm

Connecting via Computer
The front panel USB port is used for local PC connection to the SM36 supervisory monitor.
The mini-USB connector is protected by a rubber cover, this can be removed by pulling the
side tab gently.
The control parameters of the monitor are set using a configuration file that can be loaded
through this interface. The flexiCompact system is supplied preconfigured from the factory
but configuration setup can be modified using the configuration software supplied on the CD
that is supplied with the DC system.
Network Connection
Access to the SM36 supervisory module Ethernet port is made by undoing the thumb screws
give clear and unrestricted access to the connector.
The web interface is opened by typing the IP address of the monitor into the address bar of a
web browser. The web interface allows monitoring and configuration changes to be made
remotely across the connected network.

Maintenance
As Enatel flexiCompact systems are advanced electronic systems, only minor routine
maintenance is required
System
• During normal operation the cable entries to the MCB’s may loosen over time due to
movement in the cable strands. To avoid damage to the MCB’s and cable entries due
to heat build-up and arching, it is recommended that the retaining torque is
periodically checked at least annually. MCB’s should be maintained at a torque of
2Nm.
• All other connections should also be checked at this time.
Monitor
• The monitor will give a good indication of the condition of the system. Alarm logs can
show issues with the system and rectifiers and should be regularly checked.
• Routinely check that the float voltage and load current are as expected.
• If the batteries are fully charged, check the battery current is zero or near to zero
amps.
Rectifiers
• During normal operation some dust will build-up on the front of the rectifiers. This
should be kept to a minimum by regularly wiping the rectifiers to avoid accumulation
within the units and blocking the airflow. The positioning of the system and
surroundings will determine the regularity of this requirement.
• In extremely dusty positions it is recommended that the units are removed and
cleaned with compressed air to prevent airflow blockages.
Batteries
Battery maintenance will depend on the individual manufacturer’s specification, please

contact the battery supplier for recommendations.

to that required by the battery manufacturer for the average long-term temperature you
anticipate your system to operate at.
3. Set Battery Capacity
Consult battery manufacturer’s data for correct battery capacity settings.
For the SM3x to set the correct Battery Current Limit current, it is essential that this is filled
out correctly. These figures are also used for estimating the Battery Time Remaining during
a discharge.
For Telecom applications, the 10 hour rate is usually the name-plate rating of the battery.
However, once again, check the battery manufacturer’s data sheets as some manufacturers
state the 20 hour rate (which is usually a little more “optimistic”).
The second rate is required specifically for the time-remaining algorithm. A 4 hour rate is
usually a good one to use. This information is available from the battery manufacturer’s data
sheet.
The Battery SoC adjust can be used at the time of installation (or for testing purposes) in
case the installed battery is not initially fully charged. If you think the battery is only 80%
charged, then simply enter that value. The value displayed here will correct itself once the

battery has been on charge for some time or gone through a few charge/discharge cycles.
SM3x Config Page: Charge
Example:
Site Settings:
Note: Both the 10 hour and secondary battery capacity hour rates should be set at the
same time. The SM36H compares rates to ensure the battery data is accurate and may not
accept the setting if an inaccuracy is detected.
4. Set Battery Current Limit
Consult battery manufacturer’s data for maximum battery recharge current settings.
The Battery Current Limit is set as a percentage of the 10 hour rate entered in step 3.
It is recommended this value is set at the highest rate allowable to ensure the battery is
recharged as fast as possible.
In some systems, especially larger systems, this may require limiting further because of the
number of rectifiers available, rather than the maximum setting.
SM3x Config Page: Control
Example:
Site
Settings:

For telecom settings, this limit is often set to 10% (or 0.1C10, i.e. a 10A current limit for a
100Ahr battery). This is more typical of a design parameter than the need for the setting to
be at this level but a setting higher than this level should be considered to enable the fastest
recharge possible without exceeding the battery manufacturer’s maximum value.
Ensure sufficient rectifier capacity is available to cover battery recharge and load
requirements.
5. Low Voltage Disconnect Settings
The LVD disconnect set points are usually a customer generated setting.
As the discharge time increases, the higher the end voltage should be set. For a discharge
of <1hr, this may be as low as 1.75Vpc (42.0V for a “48V” battery), or for an 8 hour
discharge, it may be 1.85Vpc (44.4V for a “48V” battery).
Note that if only one LVD is fitted, LVD2 and LVD3 thresholds are set outside of possible
tripping voltages. This avoids any confusion over which LVD signal is being used by the
SM3x monitor.
