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 (na for L2, L3)
ds5: adaptive charging algorithm (na for L2, L3)
ds4: dynamic current limiter
ds3: UPS function
ds2: converter voltage
ds1: converter frequency (na for L2, L3)
(the wide input frequency range (45-55 Hz) is 'on' by default)
Note:
-
If 'adaptive charging algorithm' is on, ds6 sets the maximum absorption time to 8 hours or 4 hours.
-
If 'adaptive charging algorithm' is off, the absorption time is set to 8 hours or 4 hours (fixed) by ds6.
Step 2: Exemplary settings
Example 1 is the factory setting (since factory settings are entered by computer, all DIP switches of a new product are set to 'off' and do
not reflect the actual settings in the microprocessor).

To store the settings after the DIP switches are set according to the required values: 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.
The DIP switches can be left in the selected positions, so that the 'other settings' can always be recovered.
