3 Under “Alarm Name”, select the line with “Major”, and change “Output
Port” to 2 (by default it should already be 2).

End of Procedure
Customizing alarms
Under “Alarm Severity and Outputs”, the ports and severity can be
configured per customers requirements. If the customer wishes they can
utilize signals DCON1, DCON2 and DCON3 by connecting them to other
available “No Connect” ports (connect commons on J8 to the battery return
bus) and customize as desired.
Under the alarm output screen the relay state is defaulted to “not energized”
when alarm is on. To change the relay state an engineering password is
required. Contact Astec support for a temporary password to change this
field. After the setting has been changed use the normally open contacts when
wiring J8.
Note: For further information on all alarms that can be configured for
the Candeo, see the Alarms section in the Candeo Power Systems User
Guide (P0914425) and Candeo SP 48300 Power System AP6C55AA
User Manual (P7000154).
