[Ezra]

Configuring the Morningstar RB-RELAY snap-in Ready Relay Block to meet your unique needs involves a few straightforward steps. Here's a guide:

1. Power Up: Start by connecting the battery to the host device. This action powers up the entire Morningstar ReadyRail system, including the relay block.

2. Access Configuration via LiveView: You'll configure the ReadyRelay using the Morningstar LiveView webpage before making any wiring connections. To access LiveView:

   • Connect the host device to your PC.
   • Open a web browser and enter either the host device's IP address or its NetBIOS name into the address bar.

3. Enter Installer Code: Once in the LiveView interface, enter the installer's code - which is 141 - and enable the Installer Setup option.

4. Configure Ready Blocks: Navigate to the Ready Blocks section within LiveView. Any RB-RELAY blocks installed will appear in the ReadyRelay Configuration Box. The system identifies each block by its position (1-3) and relay (A or B).

5. Select Relay Function: Tailor the relay's operation to your requirements. Choose from the following functionalities:

   • Threshold control
   • Fault and Alarm monitoring
   • Charge Stage management
   • External Source Control (ESC) Start-Stop capability
   • Command and Schedule execution

6. Activate ReadyRelays: After you've configured the settings in LiveView's Installer ReadyRelay setup, use the Command buttons to activate the ReadyRelays.

7. Wiring the Relay: It's important to wire the relay contact terminals to your desired devices correctly. Ensure a secure connection by tightening the terminal connector screws to 5 in-lb (0.56 N-m) of torque. This ensures the Morningstar RB-RELAY operates as expected.
