Table K — Maintenance Submenu
30 Battery Test Options
This starts the battery test and sets how long the test will run. The default setting for the
test duration is 2 minutes, but this can be adjusted in 1 minute intervals. See "Operating
the Alpha FXM, BATT TEST”.
31 Inverter On/Off
This switches the inverter on or off to allow you to prevent a damaging deep battery
discharge or to provide backup battery power to the load. See “Operating the
Alpha FXM, INVERTER”.
You can set a delay before the inverter switches off to allow time for switching off critical
loads. The Set Inverter ON/OFF delay is only available when the Alpha FXM is in the
Battery or Standby modes.
The delay can be adjusted in 1 second steps with a default setting of 0 seconds to a
maximum of 600 seconds (10 minutes). The delay is only available in the Standby or
Battery modes. Once the Alpha FXM returns to the Line mode, the delay resets itself to 0
seconds.
32 Change Password
This changes the Alpha FXM’s password. The factory set password is 1111, which can
only be changed when the Alpha FXM is in Line mode. The password is limited to 4
alpha-numeric characters in length.
34 Line Qualify Time
This lets you set the delay when the Alpha FXM goes from Battery mode to Line mode
after the line becomes requalified. The purpose of this delay is to make sure the line is
stable before the Alpha FXM switches back to it. See “Operating the Alpha FXM, QUAL
TIME”.
The default setting is 3 seconds, but you can set this to 3, 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 seconds.

match the batteries you are using and the actual operating conditions.
The default value is 40% (47 VDC) and can be adjusted in 1% (0.05 VDC) increments
between 45.0 (0 %) and 50.0 VDC (100%) by typing in the % battery voltage level where
you want the warning to be triggered.
