Programming the SmartLink Device ID (dLd)
When shipped, the SmartLink Device ID of every MC-618 is set “A”. For single regulators on a SmartLink Network, this value
does not need to be changed. If two regulators are installed on a SIngle SmartLink network, for example in a dual-engine con
-
figuration, then the SmartLink Device ID on one of the regulators MUST be changed to B. The regulator must be in either long
display mode or basic programming mode to see the dId value.
1.
To change the dId value from A to B or back, activate and hold when the did mode is indicated.
2.
Release when the desired setting is shown.

Making Advanced Programming Adjustments
Once accessed, the Advanced Program mode allows the user to adjust time, voltage and temperature setting for the active
battery program. Adjustments made are semi-permanent meaning they will be saved until the battery program is changed. All
defaults shown below are for the UFP program and will vary depending on which program you have selected. To change the
settings TOUCH/HOLD the magnet to the RED dot on the epoxy potting when the desired mode is indicated. When the reed
switch is engaged, the values for the various modes will scroll upward or downward. To reverse the direction of scroll:
1.
REMOVE the magnet from the reed switch.
2.
Wait for the mode indicator to be displayed.
3.
TOUCH/HOLD when the mode indicator is displayed. The values for that mode will begin to scroll in the opposite direction.
Continue to HOLD until the desired value is displayed.
4.
REMOVE the magnet from the RED dot. The mode indicator will be displayed again, followed by the indicator for the next
Advanced Programming mode.
(PrA) Advanced Program Mode.
Once the correct password is used to unlock the Advanced Program mode,
the PrA display will be immediately followed by Advanced Programming modes. The Advanced Programming
modes include:
(dLc) Start Delay.
Controls time from regulator activation to start of charging. Factory preset at one second.
Adjustable to a maximum of 200 seconds.
(AHL) High Voltage Limit.
Controls high voltage alarm threshold.
Adjustment spans from cl to 16 volts.
Default is 15.2 volts adjustable in .1 volt increments. See information for Battery Equalization for more details
on AHL adjustment.
(CL) Compensation Limit.
Controls maximum allowable temperature compensated system voltage.
Adjustment spans from bv to AHL. Default is 14.8 volts. Adjustable in .1 volt increments.
(bv) Bulk Voltage.
Controls the target voltage for bulk charge mode.
Adjustment spans from Av to cL. Default
is 14.1 volts adjustable in .1 volt increments.
(b1c) Bulk Time.
Controls minimum time in Bulk Mode before entering Calculated Bulk. Standard value set is
.3 hours (18 minutes). Settings are from 6 minutes to 6 hours. Adjustable in .1 hrs (6 minute) increments.
(Av) Absorption Voltage.
Controls the target voltage for absorption charge mode. Adjustment spans from Fv
to bv. 13.9 V default, adjustable in .1 volt increments
(A1c) Absorption Time.
Controls minimum time in Absorption Mode before entering Calculated Absorption.
Standard value set is .3 hours (18 minutes). Settings are from 6 minutes to 6 hrs. Adjustable in .1 hrs (6
minute) increments.
(Fv) Float Voltage.
Controls the target voltage for float stage. Adjustment spans from ALL to Av.
Default is 13.4
volts, adjustable in .1 volt increments.
