Management Card and Battery Manager Events

Event generation

The Management Card and Battery Management System both generate events, which are logged in the event log.

Any event of either type generates a unique code, which you can use in applications to identify the event.

To use SNMP traps for event notifications, you must first identify the trap receivers (up to four) by their specific IP addresses.

See Trap Receivers.

Discharge cycle counter

Battery management event 0x0814 alerts you that a battery string is discharging, and displays the string current (rate of discharge), ambient and pilot battery temperatures. Battery management event 0x0815 indicates that the battery string is no longer discharging.

The system automatically records the ampere-hours lost by the battery string during the discharge.
