Battery priority setting [Active battery]

Using the "Active battery" item, you can select the prior battery (BATT1 or BATT2) when you set batteries to both the BATT1 and BATT2.

See "Battery setting examples" on pages 170 and 171 for the examples of battery priority set- ting. The setting you make using this item is reflected to the "POWER" area on the display. You can also make the prior battery setting via the quick setup mode (see page 77).

<Note>: If the voltage of the prior battery drops down to the threshold voltage set via the "BATT warning" item, the unit change the active battery to the other one in the manner described below. Note that when the unit changes the active battery, the setting of the "Active battery" item also changes.

•BMS battery: If the time until the battery voltage drops down to the threshold voltage set via the "BATT warning" item becomes less than one minute, the active battery changes automatically.

•Non BMS battery: If the battery drops down to the threshold voltage set via the "BATT warning" item, the display shows the "warning" message and the active battery changes automatically.

Note that even if you replace the prior battery with a new one, the active battery does not change.

If you want to make the replaced battery active, you must make setting of the "Active battery" item again.
