This configuration guide provides instructions for the following Eltek
controllers:
• Smartpack2 Touch
• Smartpack2 Master
• Smartpack S
• Smartpack R
• Compack
The procedures in this guide describe how to establish controller
communication using a computer and how to apply parameter
settings through various methods: the web browser interface, the
touch screen, and the display panel.
Unless otherwise noted, screenshots for the browser interface and
the display panel are taken from the Smartpack2 Master controller.
Additional details regarding particular controllers are given in the
following sections.
Smartpack2 Touch
The Touch Controller provides maximum flexibility. The Touch screen
can be used for direct monitoring, and to configure the controller. For
ease of use, a mouse and/or keyboard can be plugged into the USB
ports on the controller, in order to navigate and enter parameters
on the screen. If you prefer a larger screen, connect a computer to
the controller, using the Ethernet port on the face of the controller,
and utilize the same web browser interface employed by other
Eltek controllers. (See page 8 for instruction about connecting a
computer to the controller.)
Note: The Smartpack2 Touch screen uses the same basic interface
as the browser version, except that the Touch controller displays the
information in an adaptive format fitted to the smaller screen of the
controller. The main navigational dierence is that the left menu bar
in the browser interface becomes a sub-menu in the Touch interface;
the submenu must be accessed first on the Touch display, in order
to select the associated configuration options. The configuration
options are the same as the browser interface, although you may
have to scroll further down a page to see all the options.
In order to see the dierences between the Smartpack Touch
screen interface and the browser interface, study the instructions in
“Setting Float Voltage” on page 16. Subsequent chapters assume
that you understand the adaptive dierences in appearance between
the browser and the screen.
Smartpack2 Master
For the Smartpack2 Master controller, setup can be performed
through either the browser interface or display panel.
NOTE: The Smartpack2 Master controller display must be unlocked
in order to enter the Main Menu. At the default status screen, press
the UP arrow key, DOWN arrow key, and then the ENTER key to unlock
the screen and enter the Main Menu.
Figure 1 – Smartpack 2 Master Navigation Buttons
Smartpack S
For the Smartpack S controller, setup can be performed through
either the browser interface or display panel.
NOTE: The Smartpack S controller’s navigation keys are slightly
dierent from the Smartpack2 controller’s keys in that the ENTER
and CANCEL (X) keys also function as the LEFT and RIGHT keys,
respectively, as follows:
ENTER: A short press of this key navigates to the LEFT. A long
press (or, “press-and-hold”) performs an ENTER or confirm
action.
CANCEL (X): A short press of this key navigates to the RIGHT.
A long press performs a CANCEL or abort action.
Figure 2 – Smartpack S Controller Navigation Buttons
Smartpack R
The Smartpack R controller has a unique display panel; it also
employs the browser interface to adjust parameters. Use the
instructions for the browser interface when performing the tasks
described in this guide. For additional information about the
Smartpack R display, and other features, see the User's Guide: Smartpack R Controller (Doc. No. 350166.013).
Figure 3 – Smartpack R Controller
Compack
The Compack controller does not have a display panel and therefore
requires the use of a computer and an Ethernet connection for the
browser interface in order to adjust parameters.
Passwords
Passwords are required to edit fields and apply changes. The
following are the default passwords for each interface:
• Browser or Touch interface: The administrative password re-
quired to make changes is entered when logging in to the interface. By default, the credentials are:
User name: admin
Password: admin
• Display: The administrative password (PIN, in this case) is entered
when selecting a field to edit. By default, the PIN is 0003.
The following procedure describes the most reliable method for
establishing a direct connection between a computer and an
Eltek controller, which facilitates access through the web browser
interface.
Requirements
Before connecting to and accessing an Eltek controller by computer,
the following items and information must be collected:
• Make sure the User Guides for the controller and system are on
hand. If not, please visit the Eltek ShareFile site (https://eltek.
sharefile.com) and download the appropriate documents.
• Install the Eltek Network Utility (ENU) on the computer to be
used. This utility can be downloaded from the Internet (http://
msm.eltek.com/enu).
• The web browser interface is tested using Microsoft® Internet
Explorer®, Mozilla® Firefox®, and Google Chrome® for Windows.
• IMPORTANT: The following Eltek interfaces require the computer
ports specified to be available (i.e., not blocked by the local network administration or IT group):
• Eltek Network Utility:
UPD port 20034
TCP port 80
• Web Browser Interface:
TCP port 80
TCP port 443
Procedure
1. Use an Ethernet cable (either cross-over or straight-through) to
connect a computer to the controller.
2. Launch the Eltek Network Utility (ENU) on the computer.
Figure 5 – Eltek Network Utility Icon
Note: If using a Smartpack2 Touch controller, and ENU is not
installed, you can plug directly into the Ethernet port on the face
of the controller. This port is a “craft port” for direct computerto-controller access. After plugging into this port on a Touch
controller, open a browser, enter the address 10.10.0.1, and move
to step 6.
3. After the ENU program opens, click on the search button (magnifying glass button) in the upper left corner to find the controller.
Wait for the window to populate.
• If NO, then the controller’s IP address must be changed to
be closer to the IP address of the computer. Continue to the
next step.
7. On the computer, launch a Command Prompt window. This can
be done in one of two ways:
• Click the Start button, choose Run, type cmd in the text field,
and click the OK button.
• Click the Start button, choose All Programs, select
Accessories, and then select Command Prompt.
Figure 8 – Command Prompt Window
8. At the command prompt, type ipconfig and press [ENTER]. A
series of lines appears listing all of the TCP/IP identities of the
computer.
9. Find the heading Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection (or similar text); it may be necessary to scroll upwards in the command
prompt window. Locate the IPv4 address line and write down or
copy the address. It consists of four sets of numbers separated
by three periods (in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). This address is
needed in step 15 (on page 12).
10. Type exit at the prompt to close the Command Prompt window.
11. In the ENU program, select the controller and click on the IP
Config… button. The Ip configuration window appears.
13. Make sure the check box under DHCP is NOT checked (empty).
Figure 9 – Ip Configuration Window
14. Click in the field under IP Address until the box is highlighted and
a cursor appears.
15. Type an address that is close to the IP address of the computer.
The first three numbers (or octets) should be exactly the same
to ensure that both the computer and controller are on the same
network; the last number (octet) should be dierent by a few
digits.
For example, if the computer’s IPv4 address is 192.168.1.30, then
use the first three numbers (192.168.1) exactly as they appear
for the controller. For the last number, pick something close to
the computer’s last number, like 35. The resulting IP address for
the controller in this example will be 192.168.1.35.
NOTE: If an invalid address is entered, the box shows a red outline. Leading zeros should be omitted.
16. Click the Submit button. There may be a “click” from the controller as it reboots to apply the new IP address. Allow 30 seconds
for the controller to finish the reboot cycle.
17. Click the Close button of the Ip configuration window.
18. After the controller reboots, return to the main window of the
ENU program and click the search button again. The controller
appears in the list with the new IP address.
19. Select the controller and click the Web Interface button. The
login page appears (as shown in step 6, on page 10).
20. Click the LOGIN link.
21. At the prompt, type in the username and password. The defaults
are:
Username: admin
Password: admin
Figure 10 – Sign In Prompt
NOTE: The username and password are case-sensitive. If these
credentials do not work, then they have been changed on site.
Consult site personnel and/or site documentation for the current
credentials.
Controller connection is now established. Make sure to logout from
the controller when you are finished.
NOTE: If the controller is to be connected to a local area network
(LAN), contact the local network administrator to determine if a
static IP address is to be assigned or if the IP address will be assigned
dynamically (DHCP). Use the “Ip configuration” window to set the
controller IP configuration according to the instructions from the
network administrator. Refer to steps 11 – 17 again, if necessary.
RECOMMENDATION: If connecting the controller to a LAN after
setup, make sure to check connectivity through the network!
For controllers with a display (Smartpack2, Smartpack S), the
controller’s IP address can be found at the following location:
Main Menu > Sys.Config. > PowerSystem > General System
Config. > Agent IP Address
This Password Recovery feature applies to the Smartpack Touch and
Smartpack R controllers, using the web browser interface.
Setting a Password Recovery Email Address
When configuring a controller with this feature, be sure to enter
a password recover email address. Failure to provide a recovery
address makes the recovery process unavailable, in some cases
requiring the return of the controller to Eltek for reprogramming.
To set a password recovery address:
1. Go to System Conf. > Device Settings > Local Accounts.
2. In the text field, Password recovery email address, enter the
email address to which you want a recovery link sent, in a case
where the password must be recovered.
Note: Check the spelling of the email address carefully. Also remember to keep this field current, if there are changes in your
company email system or personnel. This address must be entered during configuration; it cannot be set after the password
has already been lost.
For instructions on how to recover/reset the password, see the next
section, “"Recovering/Resetting the Master Password".”
1. On the Sign in window, for the User name, enter masterpw, press
the Tab key, and click Forgot your password. A new page will ap-
pear, with options for generating a reset link.

Battery Temperature Compensation
CAUTION: Battery temperature compensation requires specifications
from the battery manufacturer. DO NOT proceed without having
the documented specifications on hand. If unavailable, contact
the battery manufacturer directly. Eltek does not provide battery
specifications.
Battery temperature compensation adjusts battery charging voltage
after a predefined temperature threshold has been exceeded. The
reference voltage and temperature slope are specifications provided
by the battery manufacturer. Maximum and minimum compensation
voltage should also be defined to protect load equipment.
A battery input must be enabled per instructions in "Enabling
Battery Temperature Input" on page 25, or using an external CAN
Node (such as the Battery Monitor or FlexiMonitor) before enabling
Temperature Compensation.
The fields available are:
• Temperature compensation – check the box to enable Tempera-
ture Compensated Charging parameters. Clicking again on the
box (uncheck) disables the parameters.
• Minimum compensation voltage – minimum charging voltage per
battery cell (protects connected load equipment).
• Maximum compensation voltage – maximum charging voltage
per battery cell (protects connected load equipment).
• Reference voltage – charging voltage per battery cell recom-
mended by the battery manufacturer at the reference temperature specified in the Reference temperature field.
• Reference temperature – the reference temperature in degrees
Celsius that the battery manufacturer specifies for the charging
voltage entered in the Reference voltage field.

Alarm settings are configured in the Alarm Configuration section of
both the browser interface and display menus. Alarms are assigned
to alarm groups. Alarm groups, in turn, are assigned to output relays.
These assignments are user-configurable.
As the following diagram illustrates, this section explains how to set
up alarm inputs (Internal Alarm Parameters in this example), how
to assign the parameters to alarm groups, and how to assign alarm
groups to output relays.
Figure 1 – Alarm Groups to Output Relays
NOTE: Each controller has dierent output interfaces:
• The Smartpack2 Touch controller does not have any output relays
built in; instead, an Eltek I/O Monitor is required. I/O Monitors
feature six output relays.
• The Smartpack2 controller does not have any output relays built
in; instead, an Eltek I/O Monitor is required. I/O Monitors feature
six output relays.
• The Compack controller has three output relays; they are located
on the top of the controller.
• The Smartpack S controller has six output relays; they are located
on the left side of the controller (when viewed from the front).
Note: To make alarm connections to the Smartpack R controller,
check the installation manual for your system. Connections to the
Smartpack R are not made directly to the controller, but to the
interface on the power system.
Output Alarm Relays
Output alarm relays are form-C contacts that are triggered if mapped
to one or more alarm groups.
Setting Output Relays through the Browser
Interface
Note: Each controller has dierent functionalites and, therefore
present those options in the columns that are displayed at the top of
the screen. The following screenshots are representative of dierent
controllers.
Only configure alarm relay outputs, leaving default settings for the
Battery Contact and Load Contact on the Smartpack S, Compack
and Smartpack R controllers.
Additionally, do not rename the first seven (7) alarm groups, as this
will not change functionality, but could cause confusion. For example,
renaming Mains Alarm to High Voltage Alarm does not change the
function of that alarm group, but instead will display the name High Voltage Alarm during an AC failure; it still monitors the Mains Alarm.
To set output relays through the browser interface:
1. Click on the Alarm Conf. icon in the top menu bar.
2. In the left menu bar, click on Outputs and wait for the list to
populate.
NOTE: At the top of the window is a drop-down list called Select
Unit. Use this to select the control unit to which the alarms are
connected. This is particularly important for the Smartpack2 Master controller, since the unit itself only has an audible buzzer to
assign to the alarm groups. For the Smartpack2 controller, I/O Monitors are required for external alarm input and output; the appropriate I/O Monitor must be selected in the drop-down menu in
order to modify alarm relay assignments.
3. For each alarm group that should trigger an output relay, place
a check in the box under the relay(s) desired. Relays can be
assigned to multiple alarm groups, and alarm groups can trigger
multiple relays.
4. Change alarm group names as desired to reflect the alarm to be
indicated by that group. Click in the Alarm Group field to edit the
name.
5. Click the Save button (the diskette symbol) to save changes.
Setting Output Relays through the Display
Panel

the I/O Monitor Outputs in the Smartpack2. Press the [ENTER]
key to select an alarm group.
4. Use UP and DOWN arrow keys to enter the PIN (default PIN is
0003). Press [ENTER] to accept. (Press and hold [ ENTER] for
Smartpack S.)
5. Use the RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys to point to the output relay
that the alarm group should trigger. Use the UP and DOWN arrow
keys to place a check mark in the box. Press [ENTER] to save the
change.
More than one relay can be selected. Note that there are six
output alarm relays for the Smartpack2 controller (using the I/O
Monitor2 device).
Output alarm relays are set. Use the same process for other alarm
groups as needed.
The alarm relays can be tested manually through both the browser
interface and display.
CAUTION: Testing alarm relays causes alarm conditions.
Make sure monitoring equipment and personnel are aware of
such testing and will not be adversely aected. It is not
recommended to test alarm relays from an o-site location!
CAUTION: Some controller units list low-voltage disconnect
(LVD) contactors. Activating these contactors will open
them and disconnect any batteries or loads connected!

2. In the left menu bar, click on Output Test.
3. All output relays for the unit indicated in the Output Test box are
displayed. The duration of the test can be set by changing the
number of seconds in the Output Test duration box.
NOTE: The Output Test duration setting is only available in the
browser interface or the Smartpack2 Touch screen.
4. Use the Output Test drop-down menu to select the control unit
to which the alarms are connected. This is particularly important
for the Smartpack2 Master controller, since the unit itself does
not have any output relays. For the Smartpack2 controller, I/O
Monitors are required for external alarm output; the appropriate
I/O Monitor must be selected in the drop-down menu in order to
test alarm output.
5. Click the Apply button to change the state of the relay. The state
change lasts for as long as specified in the Output Test duration
box.
Testing Output Relays through the Display
Panel
To test output relays through the display panel:
1. From the Main Menu, select Commands.
2. Select Output Test.
3. All output relays for the unit indicated in the Output Test box are
displayed.
NOTE: The Output Test duration setting is only available in the
browser interface or the Smartpack2 Touch screen. The duration
is 10 seconds by default

NOTE: Site information can be set only through the browser interface
or the Smartpack2 Touch controller, not through the display.
However, site information is readable through the display at the
following path:
Main Menu > Logs/Reports > Inventory Report
In the browser interface, site information is set on the System Info
page, where details about the site and the power system installation
are entered. Entering a field value is optional, but it is highly
recommended for future identification, maintenance and traceability.
The following fields are available (refer to Figure 1).
• Company – Name of the company that owns the power system
• Site – Name and/or ID of the site
• Model – Power system model (refer to documentation provided
with the system)
• Serial Number – System serial number or other identification
number
• Install Date – Installation date (year, month, day)
• Service Date – Date of latest service (year, month, day)
• Responsible – Person or company that serviced the power system
• Message lines (1 and 2) – Free-form fields for any messages re-
lated to services performed on the power system (results, unresolved issues, etc.)
• Latitude – Latitude of the site (degrees, hours, minutes, hemi-
sphere [north or south])
• Longitude – Longitude of the site (degrees, hours, minutes, direc-
tion [east or west])
Configuration backup is an important part of system configuration.
The configuration file allows you to restore your system to a previous
state after a replacement unit is installed, or if unauthorized or
undesirable changes have been made.
Eltek programs the controller from the factory with a default
configuration, but any changes made in the field need to be saved.
Eltek has provided two ways to accomplish this task, but each
method has its own limitations.
Overview
The following sections provide a description of the dierent methods.
• Full Backup
• Save Change Log to XML (ver. 2.5 or later)
Note: Backups do not retain the IP address settings and SNMP
configuration.
Full Backup
A full backup downloads a complete “snapshot” of the controller
settings and can be used to program a controller that has been reset
to factory defaults. This method gives you a file with an extension of
.HEX for every piece of the controller (for example, Master controller,
Basic controller, and all CAN devices).
These files can be uploaded individually via the front display or
via the browser interface and will restore the controller to the
configuration when the file was saved.
Note: These files are good only for the controller and software
revision for which it was saved. This means that these backup files
should not be used on replacement controllers, and need to be
redownloaded after any software upgrade.
This method downloads an XML file based on changes recorded
in the controller’s change log. This file can be used to configure
a controller after a replacement has been installed, or configure
multiple controllers in similar systems.
This method is very quick, and gives you a single file, with an
extension of .XML (Changelog.XML) for all controller pieces (Master,
Touch, Basic, Basic Industrial, Smartpack S, SmartpackR, or Compack,
and CAN Nodes).
This file can be used for replacement controllers, even if the software
has been updated since the file was generated. You must use the
browser interface to generate this file.
Procedures
Note: Backup files are valid only for the system and software version
used to create the backup. Never use the backup on another system
or dierent software version.
The following sections describe dierent backup procedures
applicable to various controllers.
• Smartpack2 Master controller – Use the display to save a HEX file
to the controller SD card; or use the browser interface to save a
HEX or an XML file to a computer.
• Smartpack2 Touch controller – Use the browser interface to save
a HEX or an XML file to a computer.
• Smartpack S controller – Use the display to save a HEX file to
the controller's internal memory; or use the browser interface to
save a HEX or an XML file to a computer. (To retrieve a copy of a
backup file on the controller's internal memory, you must use an
FTP client to copy the file to a computer.)
• Smartpack R controller – Use the browser interface to save a HEX
or an XML file to a computer.
• Compack controller – Use the browser interface to save a HEX or
an XML file to a computer.
Before making a backup with a Smartpack 2 Master, verify that an
SD card is present, and properly inserted in the SD card slot. Slide
the lever on the front of the controller from right to left, in order to
access the SD card slot.
6. At the prompt, navigate with the Arrow Up key. Use UP and
DOWN arrow keys to enter the PIN (default PIN is 0003). Press
[ENTER] to accept. (Press and hold [ ENTER] for Smartpack S.)
Figure 6 – Smartpack2 Master PIN code prompt
7. Observe that the lock pad on the lower right corner on the screen
shows it in the open position; then press Enter again.
The message “Writing data to file system” appears on the lower
screen to indicate that the configuration is being saved. The
process will take several minutes.
8. Continue to choose, one-by-one, the next control units listed on
the screen and repeat the previous steps, until the configuration
for the last item in the list has been saved.
Figure 8 – Choosing additional control units
Note: Files are saved in a folder named CONFIG on the SD card or
controller memory.
This concludes the procedure for making a backup of the system
configuration before an upgrade.
5. A message appears: “Loading...The selected file will be read!” Click
OK on this dialog box.
Figure 12 – File Loading Message
6. A progress bar appears, indicating that the file is being generated.
After the file is generated, you will see another dialog, giving you
the option to open or save the generated file. Choose the option
for Save File, then click OK.
Figure 13 – Save File Dialog
7. After you save a configuration file, the screen returns to the
previous page and you are given options, based upon your original
choice(s) of which file(s) to save. If all of your selected files
(Figure 10) have been saved, click the Back button. If you
previously selected multiple configuration files, and there are any
files remaining, click the Start reading files button again, to begin
saving the next file. Click Back after the last file has been saved.
Figure 14 – Options After Saving Files
After you click the Back button, the screen returns to the Save Intel HEX configuration file(s) page (Figure 10). From there you can
quit or navigate to other portions of the web browser interface.
8. Locate the backup files in the Downloads folder in the Windows
operating system. Copy the files to an archive where they can be
easily retrieved if needed.
Making an XML Backup from the Change Log
(BrowserInterface)
To make a backup from the change log (requires version 2.5 or later):
1. Click Commands > Load/Save Config > Save change log to XML.
