17.1. Battery Setup: General (MPM)
String View > Setup|Battery|General
The following appear on the General dialog box.
Figure 51. Battery Setup - General (MPM)
Location Name, Battery Name, String Name - Location, battery, and string names identify
the strings and hardware to which the monitor is connected. Make sure databases have the
same names to ensure proper connection. Location, battery, and string names can only be
changed under Setup|System.
Date, Time - The date and time of the computer. When you send a new configuration to the
monitor, it sends this date and time.
Station Phone Number - Type the telephone number of the Central computer the MPM
monitor calls when a system goes into alarm or discharge.
Measure Points - This is defined by Monitor Configuration on Setup|System|String.
Normally, do not change the Measure Points number; however, you may change it for custom
configurations (BDS only) not listed on System Setup|String.
Note: Do not change the Measure Points number for multi-string configurations. If you enter
a lower cell number for a configuration of 2x24, for example, only the total cell count for the
second string changes.
Shunt Value - Type the shunt rating in amps per millivolt. For example, for a shunt of
600 amps/100mV, type 6. (600 amps/100mv = 6 amps/1mv.) This value must be an integer.
