	WARNING: Risk of Fire or Explosion
	Incorrect settings can damage or destroy your batteries. When making any battery
	configuration settings, ensure that the values are correct according to the battery
	manufacturer’s specifications. Settings should be changed by qualified personnel only.
	The Configure Battery menu lets you read (as a user) and change (installer-only)
	settings associated with the battery system. The parameters that can be set include
	battery size, temperature, and type.
Battery Size	This is the capacity of the battery or battery bank in ampere-hours. The PROsine
	will alter the charging rate based on battery bank size. Charging at a rate that is too
	high for your batteries can damage or destroy them.
	Select the appropriate value between 50 and 2000 Ah.
Default Batt Temp	Select a battery temperature that is closest to the average ambient temperature in
	the location where the battery is installed. The choices are:
	p	Cold: 5°C (41°F)
	p	Warm: 20°C (68°F)
	p	Hot: 35°C (95°F)
	When the battery temperature sensor is installed, this setting is ignored and the
	actual battery temperature is used.
Battery Type	From the list of options available, select the type of battery(s) that you have
	installed. See Application Note: Battery Banks for Inverter Systems (976-0114-
	01-01).
	When you select a charging algorithm, the battery details listed below (see “View
	/ Change Battery Details” on page 4–13) are automatically given default settings.
	These default values are the most appropriate for the selected battery type.
		If you have a battery type that isn’t on the list, you can modify the charging
		algorithm settings according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. (This requires
		you to be in Installer mode.)
View / Change	The screens associated with these menu items display information about the way
Battery Details	the PROsine will charge the battery.
Battery Temp	This is the relationship between temperature and voltage levels on the battery. The
Coefficient	correct value depends on battery type. For the correct value, consult the battery
	manufacturer.
