Float Voltage. Controls the target voltage for float stage. Adjustment spans from 13.0 to 13.8 volts.
.
F v
Default is based on battery program selected. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait for
LED to display Fv code. Re-activate switch and release when desired value is indicated.
.
Float Time. Controls time setting for float mode. Standard value set is 18 minutes. Settings are from 6
F 1

minutes to 12 hours. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait for LED to display F1c code.
Re-activate switch with magnet and release when desired value is indicated.

Low Voltage Alarm. Allows the user to set the trigger voltage for the low voltage alarm. Default set-
ting for the Low Voltage Alarm is 12.7 volts.

A
output required to maintain calculated charging mode. Factory set at 65% field output. Raising "FbA"
shortens calculated bulk charge time. Lowering "FbA" increases calculated bulk charge time. Span of ad-
justment is 16% to 96%. To reverse direction of scroll, release magnet and wait for LED to display "FbA"
code. Re-activate switch and release when desired value is indicated.
.
Field Threshold - Float To Absorption . Controls the criteria used to determine the field current

L
threshold required to cycle between float and absorption charging modes. Factory set at 65%. Raising
"FFL" increases calculated float charge time. Adjusted in 1% increments. Span of adjustment is 16% to
96%. To reverse direction of scroll, release "FFL" code. Reactivate switch with magnet and release when
desired value is indicated.
.
Alternator Temperature Threshold. Controls the setpoint at which point field current is reduced
A L
1
when the the alternator temperature sensor indicates an over-temp condition at the alternator. Requires
temperature sensor installation. Preset at 108˚.
.
Battery Temperature Threshold. Controls the setpoint at which point field current is discontinued
B 1
L
when the the battery temperature sensor indicates an over-temp condition at batteries being sensed.
Requires temperature sensor installation. Preset at 52°C.
.
Slope Voltage Correction. Adjusts the voltage (in milivolts) the regulator uses when monitoring
SL
P
battery temperature sensing. Can be custom adjusted to meet the needs of unique battery technologies.
Consult with battery manufacturer for specific slope voltage recommendations.
