In addition to the information provided in the basic display shown above, the MC-624 long display provides the
following data. The long display can be accessed at any time during operation by tapping the RED dot with your
magnet.
r2.4
Indicates regulator’s software revision
b1
Indicates Battery #1 temperature. Followed by degrees Celsius.
SLP
Indicates, in millivolts, the value used to control voltage compensation for battery temperature.
b2
Indicates Battery #2 temperature. Followed by degrees Celsius.
AL1
Indicates Alternator Temperature. Followed by degrees Celsius.
SP
Indicates internal regulator temperature. Followed by degrees Celsius.
AP
Indicates Amp Manager setting. Followed by maximum allowed field output percentage.
FE
Indicates Percentage of field output to the alternator. The higher the percentage, the greater the output
Hr.
Indicates overall regulator hours. Followed by hours and then hours in hundreds of hours.
FbA
Indicates Field threshold from bulk to absorption. Factory set at 77%.
FFL Indicates field threshold from float to absorption. Factory set at 77%. Adjust in advanced programming mode.
E Indicates system advisory codes. Individually numbered codes are defined below.
The following advisory codes can be used to determine possible system errors or to identify specific operational
modes. Note that E codes are cumulative and will be held in memory until cleared. Codes can be cleared by
entering dSP and letting it save. Display settings DO NOT need to be changed. See basic
programming for more
info.
