This setting is used to zero the current reading from the external current
shunt. See installation notes in Appendix III on page 28. Use the UP or
DOWN keys to change the setting. Note: when this setting is set to ON, a
zero DC amps is performed taking about 1 to 2 seconds, after which the
display returns to OFF.
This is the capacity of the batteries in ampere-hours at the system discharge
rate. For example, a solar powered system will generally use the C/100
(100 hour rate), but a diesel recharge system may use a discharge rate of
C/20 (20 hour rate). Your system designer will advise you on this figure.
Use the UP or DOWN keys to set your battery capacity.
This setting is used at setup to enter the initial charge in the battery in
Ampere Hours, or during use to bring the readings back in line. Use the UP
or DOWN keys to set the value.
If the charge in the battery bank drops below this level, an alarm will sound
if the low charge alarm (the next setting) is set ON. Use the UP or DOWN
keys to set the value.
If set to ON, an alarm will sound if the charge in the batteries drops below
the Min Charge setting above. Use the UP or DOWN keys to change the
setting.
This setting is determined by the system design and the type and age of the
batteries used. If the battery efficiency is unknown, then we suggest that
you use the default setting of 95% initially, and adjust if the ampere-hours
in the batteries differs from the readings.
