4.2.6
Current control
If the available power at the AC input is limited. The ChargeMaster can be configured to reduce input
current. The Current Control level should be set equal to or lower than the value of the external circuit
breaker, which protects the incoming AC power. For example, when the external AC power is limited by
a 6A fuse, the Current Control level should be set to
≤
6A. The AC input current of the ChargeMaster Plus
will be reduced to 6A.
How to set the AC input current in a MasterBus network
1.
Open MasterAdjust.
2.
Select the ChargeMaster Plus.
3.
Go to the
Monitoring
tab.
4.
In the
Input Current
field, enter the required value.

MasterShunt
In a MasterBus network, a MasterShunt can be coupled with output 1 (DC 1 OUT) of the ChargeMaster
Plus. The actual measurement data of the MasterShunt will be used to charge the batteries. Refer to the
manual of the MasterShunt for information on how to configure your system.
4.4
Lithium-ion Battery MLI Ultra
The ChargeMaster Plus can be combined with a Li-ion MLI Ultra battery. Refer to the manual of the MLI
Ultra for information on how to configure your system.

CZone configuration
The CZone
®
network is an NMEA 2000-compliant CAN-based system. When the ChargeMaster Plus is
connected, open the CZone Configuration Tool on a Windows laptop or notebook connected to the CZone
network. Either do the configuration while connected to the network or use a prepared configuration file
(.zcf). Ensure that a DIP Switch is assigned.
