Very Low Battery Warning: The Very Low Battery Warning UP/DN buttons alter the time value

(in minutes) available on the battery (for use) before the panel displays a very low battery warning. This indicates a near-term panel shutdown.

Range = 3 - 15, default = 5 min.

- This value can never exceed the Low Battery Warning value.

 

When the NXT-BP batteries (installed within the NXA-BASE/B battery

 

base) reach a point where they need to be recalibrated.

 

- A recalibration pop-up screen appears to ask whether or not you choose

 

to recalibrate the batteries at this time.

 

 

Battery Status fields:

This section provides the ability to monitor the current battery charge levels and

 

charge qualities:

 

• The Combined Charge Status bargraph indicates the combined power

 

charge available from both internal battery connection slots

 

(bargraph range = 0 - 100).

 

• The Battery One Charge Status bargraph indicates the power charge

 

available on the Slot 1 internal battery connection (bargraph range = 0 - 100).

 

• The Battery One Quality bargraph indicates the physical capacity (quality) of

 

the battery. Quality is the percentage of actual capacity vs. its rated capacity.

 

For optimal performance, a battery should be replaced when the quality

 

rating drops below 80%.

 

• The Battery Two Charge Status bargraph indicates the power charge

 

available on the Slot 2 internal battery connection (range = 0 - 100).

 

• The Battery Two Quality bargraph indicates the physical capacity (quality) of

 

the battery. Quality is the percentage of actual capacity vs. its rated capacity.

 

• The Base Version field indicates the firmware version being used by the

 

NXA-BASE/B Battery Base connected to the NXT Modero panel.

 

• The Battery Level Port field indicates the port being used to report the

 

combined charge status level back to the NetLinx Master on (set in TPD4).

 

• The Battery Level field indicates the level being used to report the combined

 

charge status level back to the NetLinx Master on (set in TPD4).

 

Battery Power Brightness The DISABLE/DISABLED button acts as a power save feature with two

Limit:

available choices:

 

Disable - activates the brightness limit set on the Modero panel and is used

 

to conserve battery power. Activating this feature causes the panel to

 

function at 80% of full brightness and overrides the Panel Brightness value

 

set on the Setup page. This extends the battery usage time.

 

Disabled - (illuminated when selected) deactivates this power save feature

 

and makes the panel use the specified Panel Brightness level set on the

 

Setup page.

The term "quality" (in the context of a battery), refers to the current capacity relative to the batteries’ rated capacity. For example, after constant use, a battery may be operating at 75% of its rated capacity even though it might be fully charged. In this case, the battery could be incorrectly reporting its’ information back to the battery base and then consequently relating this information back to the Battery Base page. A battery can be recalibrated using an optional NXT-CHG (battery charger).
