it sets the value to the total number of battery modules
including the one belonging to the standard device,
unless it is a B1 which does not have accumulators.
–– Sets parameter 3 to the number of battery modules.
The setting allows values from 0 to 7 and the
default setting is 0.
When external batteries are installed independently,
equivalence must be found in order to determine the
value to be entered in this variable. Proceed as follows
to define the value:
–– Divide the Ahs of the installed batteries between 7
Ah for the 4 to 6 kVA models and between 9 Ah for
the 8 and 10 kVA models. If the value obtained is
not exact, round down.
Example:
SLC 5000 TWIN RT2 device with an external battery
pack of 45 Ah belonging to it.
45 Ah / 7 Ah = 6.4
When rounding down, value ‘6’ must be entered in
parameter 3.
•• The basic reason for adjusting the setting is as follows,
without it affecting the correct functioning of the device if
it is not done, although it is more than recommended:
The charging current of the batteries is directly related to
the capacity of the battery pack.
The charger will adapt the charging factor automatically
according to the value of the total capacity entered, up to
the maximum of the current that is possible.
This results in faster charging and therefore greater
availability and more immediate backup in the event of
frequent mains failures.
Any alteration of the battery pack will entail a readjustment,
so it will be necessary to adapt the value in the event of
future expansions.

conducting characteristics are similar to those of the BJT.

electrical current. In DC, it is practically equal to real power
but, in AC, it can differ from this depending on the power factor.
•• LCD.-Liquid crystal display, a device invented by Jack
Janning, who was an employee of NCR. It is an electrical
system for data presentation formed by 2 transparent
conductive layers and a special crystalline material in the
middle (liquid crystal) which have the ability to orientate
light as it passes through.
•• LED.- Light-emitting diode, a semiconductor device (diode)
that emits light that is almost monochromatic, that is to
say, it has a very narrow spectrum when it is polarised
directly and is penetrated by an electric current. The colour
(wavelength) depends on the semiconductor material
used in the construction of the diode, and can vary from
ultraviolet, passing through the visible light spectrum, to
infrared, the latter called IRED (infra-red emitting diode).
•• Circuit breaker.- A circuit breaker is a device capable
of interrupting the electrical current of a circuit when it
exceeds certain maximum values.
•• On-line mode.- A device is said to be on-line when it is
connected to a system, is operative, and normally has its
power supply connected.
•• Inverter.- An inverter is a circuit used to convert DC into AC.
The function of an inverter is to change a DC input voltage
to a symmetrical AC output voltage, with the magnitude
and frequency desired by the user or designer.
•• Rectifier.- In electronics, a rectifier is the element or
circuit that converts AC into DC. This is done by using
rectifier diodes, whether solid state semiconductors,
vacuum valves or gaseous valves, such as those containing
mercury vapour. Depending on the characteristics of the AC
power that they use, they are classified as single-phase
when they are powered by a mains phase or three-phase
when they are powered by three phases. Depending on the
type of rectification, they can be half wave when only one
of the half cycles of the current is used or full wave when
both half cycles are used.
•• Relay.- A relay is an electromechanical device that
functions as a switch controlled by an electrical circuit
in which, by means of an electromagnet, a set of one or
