5.  CONFIGURATION 

Out of the box, the MLI Ultra is suitable for use in a MasterBus network or as a stand-alone battery. For 
CZone and for advanced features, the settings must be adjusted. Most settings can be done through 
DIP switches. Advanced or network settings are done from a Windows laptop or notebook with either 
the free MasterAdjust or the CZone configuration tool. MasterAdjust software can be downloaded at 
www.mastervolt.com. The CZone Configuration Tool software is available to technical CZone 
customers from the CZone Portal. 

DIP switch settings 

By default, all DIP switches are off. 

MasterBus DIP switch settings 

1.  Set DIP switch 1

Battery detect: If the battery is switched-off, there will be no voltage at the poles and some chargers will 
not start charging. By enabling the Battery detect option, this is fixed. Note that if a load is connected 
that this will slowly drain the battery (5-10mA). 

CZone DIP switch settings 

1.  Set DIP switch 1 to the 

OFF

 position (0). 

2.  Set DIP switch 2 to the 

OFF

 position (0). 

3.  Set DIP switches 3 to 10 to match the unique 'dipswitch' number, used in the CZone network.
