Programming Battery Setup for the MPM
17-3
Float Current Multiplier - When a series of batteries is connected with more than one cable,
it may not be possible to get the float current sensor around all the cables. In this case, you
may connect the sensor around one of the cables and set the Float Current Multiplier for the
total number of cables. The connecting cables must be of equal length.
Remote Reporting Enable and Disable - Globally enables or disables the monitor remote
reporting function. For a parameter to report on alarm, do not select the global Disable Alarm
Reporting on Setup|Preferences, and select Remote Reporting on Setup|Battery|Float Alarms
or Setup|Battery|Discharge.
Telco MUX - Not available for the MPM.
Password - To change the battery setup password, type the new password in the Password
and Re-type Password boxes. The password may be up to five alphanumeric characters long.
IP Address, Netmask and Gateway - Displays the IP address, netmask, and gateway typed
on Setup|System|Link.
Send Network Configuration - Click this button to send the IP address, netmask, and
gateway to the MPM. The MPM must have the internal network option installed. This button
transfers addresses only when MPMs are connected via RS-232 or modem, not network.
Auto Send Time - Check this box to have the time of day sent from the computer to the
hardware during autopolling and data extraction.
Time Difference (Hours) - This spin box lets you compensate for any plus or minus time
difference between the computer and hardware installation locations. When the computer
sends the time of day to the hardware, either during autopolling or Check Settings upload, the
time is automatically adjusted.
Alarm Button - If Sequential/Ack is selected on the System Setup Reporting dialog box,
select Acknowledge so the monitor notifies the computer that acknowledgement was sent
and received. This stops sequential calling but does not reset the alarm. Select Reset if
Sequential is not selected.
