5.5.2 Step 2: Other settings
The remaining settings are not relevant for slaves.
Some of the remaining settings are not relevant for followers (L2, L3). These settings are imposed on the whole system by the leader
L1. If a setting is irrelevant for L2, L3 devices, this is mentioned explicitly.

ds6: absorption time 8 or 4 hours (not relevant for L2, L3) on = 8 hours off = 4 hours
ds5: adaptive charging characteristic (not relevant for L2, L3) on = active off = inactive (fixed absorption time)
ds4: dynamic current limiter on = active off = inactive
ds3: UPS function on = active off = inactive
ds2: converter voltage on = 230V / 120V off = 240V / 115V
ds1: converter frequency (not relevant for L2, L3) on = 50Hz off = 60Hz
(the wide input frequency range (45-55Hz) is 'on' by default)
Step 2: Exemplary settings for stand-alone mode
Example 1 is the factory setting (since factory settings are entered by computer, all DIP switches of a new product are set to ‘off’).

6 Absorption time: 8 hours
5 Adaptive charging: on
4 Dynamic current limit: on
3 UPS function: off
2 Voltage: 240V

Step 2
Example 4:
8, 7 Tube-plate 15V
6 Absorption time: 4 hours
5 Fixed absorption time

3 UPS function: on
2 Voltage: 240V
1 Frequency: 60Hz
To store the settings after the required values have been set: press the 'Down' button for 2 seconds (lower button to the right of the
DIP switches). The temperature and low-battery LEDs will flash to indicate acceptance of the settings.
You can then leave the DIP switches in the selected positions, so that the ’other settings’ can always be recovered.
