In addition to the information provided in the basic display shown above, the MC-618 long display provides the following data.
The long display is accessed during basic programming, which will be discussed in the next section of the manual.
FE
Indicates the percentage of field output to the alternator. The higher the percentage, the greater the output.
r4.3
Indicates regulator’s software revision code.
SP
Indicates internal regulator temperature. Followed by degrees Celsius.
SLP
Indicates, in millivolts, the value used to control voltage compensation for battery temperature.
Hr.
Indicates overall regulator hours. Followed by hours and hours in hundreds of hours.
FbA
Indicated field threshold from bulk to absorption. Factory set at 65%. Adjust in advanced programming mode.
FFL
Indicates field threshold from float to absorption.
E
Indicates System advisory codes. Individually numbered codes are defined below.
dLd
Indidates the SmartLink Device ID
The following advisory codes can be used to determine possible system errors or to identify specific operational
modes..
Display settings DO NOT need to be changed. See basic
programming for more info.

Note:
E codes are cumulative and will be held in memory until cleared. Codes
can be cleared by entering dSP mode and letting it save.
